Gameplay
The core gameplay in Quantum of Solace will be that of a first-person shooter. Throughout the game, however, the view will switch to a third-person view to emphasize that the players are being James Bond. This third-person view will be used with a cover system and quick time events, among other scenarios. An example is using quick time events to chase an enemy during a level that is a recreation of the construction site chase at the beginning of the Casino Royale film. On July 9th footage was released with an interview with a producer of the Quantum of Solace game showing Bond shooting in the Casino Royale. A teaser trailer for the game was released on July 15th. Demos of the game were released at the Activision Press Conference at E3 2008. The first demo was from Casino Royale where Bond had to follow Le Chiffre and the second demo was from the beginning of Quantum of Solace where Bond has to chase after a man through the cisterns of Siena and eventually on the streets.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer in Quantum of Solace has been confirmed with multiplayer modes for up to 12 players that include unique Bond modes. Treyarch has said that it will go into more detail about the multiplayer component of the new Bond game at the Games Convention in August.
