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 player is playing as 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 Mollaka (the bombmaker) during a level that is a recreation of the construction site chase at the beginning of the "Casino Royale" film.
