Whether you’re a first-timeCall of Dutyplayer or a returning fan of the series, with considerable chunks of time elapsing between annual entries, it can be pretty easy to forget the precise details of the plots from games past.
Luckily, our friends on the team behind theFuture Games Showhave put together this handy video guide outlining everything that you need to know about theCall of DutyModern Warfarestory so far in order to dive straight into theModern Warfare 3campaign, fully versed and fully informed.
Containing plenty of details on the main characters, various settings, and even some of the similarities with the originalModern Warfaretrilogy, this is a definitive guide to the timeline of the sub-series after it was reset with 2019’s blockbuster reboot.
Thankfully, most of the named sub-series in the franchise have their own independent storylines - barringCall of Duty: World at Warwhich bizarrely seems to be part of the widerBlack Opstimeline but you don’t have to worry about that right now. As a result, you don’t need to have played anything outside of the most recentModern WarfareandModern Warfare 2to fully understand what’s going on here. There are, however, a few story beats inModern Warfare’s easily missable Spec Ops co-op campaign and even some bits from the onlineCall of Duty: Warzonethat feed into this timeline.
In addition to what you would find in each of the two game’s story campaigns, we’ve been super careful to include the relevant details from the live-service content, too. We also have some pretty strong opinions on Captain Price’s wonderful mustache, a highlight of theModern Warfaretitles and something that you absolutely don’t want to miss.
