30 million units sold
Activision recently announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has sold 30 million copies, smashing its previous sales record set by the original. The announcement came during a livestream by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. Huang also discussed the game’s PC upgrade capabilities and ray-tracing. He also talked about the upcoming game, Black Ops: Cold War. He praised the game’s overall performance.
The game’s success is partly due to its updates, but Activision has also made a conscious effort to keep its fan base focused in one place. Although this strategy may seem counterintuitive, it’s essential for Modern Warfare’s longevity. Nevertheless, Activision has not given clear details on its support plans, so it’s impossible to say for sure if it will continue to be updated and supported.
The next game in the series, Black Ops, is also due out in November. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said he was proud to announce that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare had sold 30 million units since its October 2010 launch. The company estimates that this will account for forty percent of its total revenue by 2020. The game is expected to make its way into other popular entertainment platforms.
Price
In the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games, Capt. Price is a mercenary who serves under the leadership of General Shepherd. He leads missions to capture the main villain of the game, Vladimir Makarov. Unfortunately, Price is captured after a failed raid. He is sent to the Gulag, where he was captured for three years, until he was rescued in 2016.
During the Cold-War period, Price is the sole surviving member of his squad. The story of Price’s mercenary unit is still unknown. After being portrayed by British gangster Bill Murray in the previous games, Price made a name for himself and became a fan favorite. In Modern Warfare 3, Price is featured in the game’s finale and Wetwork mission. In the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Price borrows the voice of British actor Barry Sloane.
He joined the British Army at the age of sixteen and served eighteen years. As a cadet at the Royal Military Academy, Price completed the Special Service Commando selection and ‘badged’ as an SAS soldier. Since then, Price has proven his worth on covert operations in the Middle East. After achieving captaincy, Price is now the officer in charge of an elite unit tasked with counter-terrorism and anti-hijacking operations. He specializes in sniper techniques and is also unofficially missioned to capture high-value targets.

The game received mixed reviews, but critics praised its gameplay, campaign, and realistic tone. The campaign had strong critics, though, for its depiction of the Russian military. Additionally, players reported issues with balancing the game’s multiplayer mode. Nevertheless, the game has a thriving fan base. Infinity Ward is working on the sequel for the modern-day franchise, which is expected to be released in 2022.
Storyline
The storyline of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is one of the most exciting in the series, and has spawned two direct sequels and a reboot for 2019 that is sure to be a hit. This game’s plot is as tense as its predecessor and pulls no punches. Set in the year 2011, the game begins with the assassination of a president of a Middle Eastern country. The US believes that the assassination poses a threat to the entire region. During this time, a civil war in Russia has broken out, and ultranationalists have seized power in the former Soviet Union.
The campaign ends with Price creating Task Force 141 and destroying Al-Qatala’s base in the Eastern Hemisphere. As a result, the players can play as Price or play as him. The player can choose to take the role of Price or as one of his other characters, Kyle Garrick and John Price. In this game, players can choose to be one of these three characters, or a combination of them.
