These new gadgets could end just like the dog and space/water missions in Ghosts. Something that featured heavily in promotion and ended up in a very minor role in the actual game.

The space and water missions could have been something really special if done right. Imagine a proper three dimensional battlefield; enemies in front, behind all over the place with the potential for all sorts of a different style of play. But what we got was just a very straightforward section with the added feature of being able to move up and down.

The impression I got from this trailer was that it still seems very straightforward with scripted sections as usual. The emp grenade is just a different form of the target finder and millermeter scanner. These features might be great for multiplayer but they'll just make the campaign even easier if they don't put effort into making challenging enemies.

I don't think we'll have a definitive answer as to how these elements really play out until the game is properly released, unfortunately.
