This should come as no surprise to those who played the2019Modern Warfarerebootbecause while that game modernized theMWcharacters and story, it also sort of set up the events depicted inCall of Duty 4in the process. There are some other sights spotted in theModern Warfare 2trailer that should be familiar to those who playedCall of Duty 4, and it will be interesting to see just how much this new game follows that title.
