Treyarch brought along a stage demo for the "Project P.O.T.U.S" mission. Taking place in downtown Los Angeles as it is attacked by rogue drones, you play as David Mason. The son of Alex Mason, and certainly a certified badass. Just look at the blood line. Attempting to escort the President of the United States out of the direct danger and into the "Prom Night" shelter. As he begins to describe exactly how the plan will go, rouge drones assault the convoy, and completely devastating their vehicle. Stranded along the highway, the group recovers and Mason quickly acts to eliminate the drones with a SAM turret mounted on a nearby armored car.
