Modern Warfare 4 just showed off its campaign properly. Captain Price is on the run, Task Force 141 is fractured, and the story throws us straight into a full-scale conflict on the Korean Peninsula. Price is even forced to work with Valeria while Ghost and Gaz are tasked with hunting him down. Oh, and there’s a mystery weapon that could apparently flip the whole world order. Yeah… this campaign looks messy in the best way. 🎬 Watch the official trailer + breakdown:
