While Call of Duty: Warzone fans remain divided on the concept of integration, one of its big positives is the current selection of Operators available in the game. There are 62 different Operators to choose from, and with three Seasons of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War left to go, that list will only grow larger. For now, though, players have no shortage of characters from the Modern Warfare and Black Ops universes to use.
With so many different nationalities and background for the Call of Duty: Warzone characters, there is a character for every type of player. Aside from representation, each Operator comes with their own backstory, dialogue, and outfits. While some are significant figures from the campaigns like Price and Woods, there are brand-new characters like Rivas and Roze available as well. Even some guest characters from movies and a Call of Duty Zombies icon double as Operators, showing that nothing is off limits for Call of Duty: Warzone characters.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Operators
With all of its Seasons completed, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare characters make up a majority of the playable Operators in the battle royale game. 36 of the 62 Operators can be traced back to the 2019 game, and it will be interesting to see which characters return for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
