It’s fair to say that, across the three games in the reboot series so far, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s story has been far from a simple one. With the amount of action happening during each mission, combined with key plot points occurring outside of the core campaigns in places like Warzone’s Verdansk, it can be difficult to keep track.
Thankfully, we’re here to give you as succinct a summary as we can of the story so far ahead of Modern Warfare 4’s release. With Infinity Ward’s saga set to come to an end imminently, let’s recap how we got here. Warning: may contain a lot of chasing stolen missiles around the world.
2019’s Modern Warfare reboot tells the story of Task Force 141’s creation. That’s the elite team of operatives helmed by Call of Duty veteran Captain John Price (but not the same John Price who was in the original Modern Warfare, nor the John Price who was in the original two Call of Dutys. Look, we did say this was complicated).
But we’re already getting ahead of ourselves. At the beginning of Modern Warfare’s campaign, before 141 is established, Price and the British SAS are working with CIA Chief Kate Laswell to help recover highly valuable gas used in the creation of chemical weapons. The opening mission, in which you play as CIA agent Alex Keller, details the theft of the gas, as an unidentified team steals it en route to the fictional country of Urzikstan. The heist intensifies tension between Russia and the West.
