Of all the Call of Duty titles, for me, the Modern Warfare series is the most epic given the scale, story, and characters. It is the series where we saw airsofters and gamers immersed themselves, bringing the characters’ loadouts to the airsoft field and the callsigns Soap and Ghost  were popular in airsoft forums. But the most compelling character is Captain Price who has survived through all the titles, watching Soap die in his arms in Modern Warfare 3.

With Ghost and Soap gone, will Captain Price be back with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 which is rumored to be the COD title for 2019? It will surely bring back a lot of excitement especially with the older lot of COD players who were engrossed with the Modern Warfare story arc.

Infinity Ward will be the lead developer for this year’s Call of Duty title, and it is the same outfit that was behind the Modern Warfare until there were differences between their directors and Activision which bought Infinity Ward in 2003.

Infinity Ward senior communication manager Ashton Williams tweeted a skull leading fans to speculate that the next title will be Ghosts 2. But others point out the skull is the signature of the original Ghost in the COD franchise, Lieutenant Simon Riley, famous for the balaclava with a skull print and who died in Modern Warfare 2 with Gary “Roach” Sanderson.

For Activision to revive the sales of the COD Series, as the sales have been on a downward trend, is to fallback to Modern Warfare with Modern Warfare 3 being the best selling COD title of all time, and hope that it will turn back the flagging sales even if Black Ops 4 was the best selling title in 2018.

Other rumor tidbits is that Modern Warfare 2 will be having a Battle Royale mode just like Black Ops 4 and may not have a single player campaign too. For those who want to Modern Warfare story to still continue this will be a big disappointment as the storyline is what we think to be what made the Modern Warfare still very much fresh in the minds of older COD players the strongest selling point of the series.

Gaming Intel was first to report about Modern Warfare 4 to be the 2019 title in May 2018 and if what their exclusive sources say that it will have campaign, multiplayer, and zombie modes, then we can rest easy. But we won’t mind a Battle Royale like the Black Ops 4 Blackout is also added to the mix if that’s what gamers nowadays want.
