So far, Activision has mostly kept its cards close to its chest in regards to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare campaign. We've heard talk of ultra-violent and disturbing sequences in the campaign, like the already infamous child soldier mission, but other than, things have been mostly quiet. That is, until now.
As part of the latest PlayStation State of Play presentation, Activision released the first substantial story trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The trailer spends a great deal of time with Captain Price, along with some other characters that have yet to be detailed. There is a younger soldier seen in multiple scenes with Price, who some have speculated is John "Soap" MacTavish, but that hasn't been confirmed at the time of this writing.
We know that Soap is in the new Modern Warfare, but we don't know how different he will look in the new game. Captain Price looks mostly the same as he did in the original Modern Warfare trilogy, but with far more animation and detail.
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare story trailer description offers even more details about what fans can expect from the plot. It will see Captain Price join forces with both the CIA and the Urzikstani Liberation Force to retrieve stolen chemical weapons. As Price and his team attempt to retrieve the chemical weapons, they will be led on a globe-trotting journey that will take them to London, the Middle East, and "other global locations." Their goal is to basically stop World War 3, which if the original Modern Warfare trilogy is anything to go by, is something that they may actually fail at doing.
The trailer ended with a brief glimpse at the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare co-op Spec Ops mode. More on that will be revealed on October 5. In the meantime, we will have more answers about the campaign once Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's release date rolls around and fans can dive into the game's story for themselves.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare launches on October 25 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
