Creates a nice hook between the fast-paced comabt of the classic iD arena shooter and the linear corridor structure and level design of the post Modern Warfare era.
The last three PS3 era shooters I've played too have been Resistance 3, Singularity and a little bit of Rage, and New Order - even in its hapdash narrative tissue that feels thrown together to connect setpieces and levels - feels like a huge of breath of fresh air after a wave of shooters that rarely cared to inject even an ounce of personality or human interest into their "campaign".
It's a little sad that instead of maybe being a forerunner for a new era of shooters, New Order winds up feeling like the closing chapter on the PS3 era. Titanfall 2 and DOOM would come around two years later, as well as a sequel, New Colossus, in 2017, but New Order basically closes the book on the Call of Duty clone. 🤷♂️
