This was followed by Ghost in Season 2, which paid homage to another fan favorite, and lastly, this season introduced Alex Mason as the third central character of the game. In the case of season one, the first character to be the operator star was Mara. So far, there have been three seasons and three characters that have been central to that particular battle pass and progression system. Modern Warfare has been great about making a single operator character be the star of each new season in the game. This is rather odd, especially when you take a look at who has been available thus far. The long-running protagonist and hero of the Modern Warfare franchise is integral to the game, but has been unavailable for play in the online multiplayer section of the 2019 reboot up until this point. This would be especially great, as Price is one of the most popular, if not the, most popular characters in the entire Modern Warfare series. There are additional characters in the voice clip as well, including others like Nikolai, that further support this theory that the release of Modern Warfare Season 4 will have Captain Price as the main star of the new season. This is intriguing as it points to the fan favorite character becoming one of the many operators that players can play as in Modern Warfare. What is striking about the terrorists is their conversation that revolves around the fact that Captain Price is arriving soon and is likely to be a threat to them. The characters in question seem to be some members of the Al Qatala terrorist organization that is at the heart of the conflict in the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot. Instead, it is mostly audio that is relaying some communications back between a couple of characters. In the “video”, if you can even call it such a thing, there is no gameplay, cinematic, or anything at all that is shown in the very short teaser clip. The title of the video gives nothing immediately away as it is known simply as a secure comms video.īut what is interesting about the clip is that it certainly points to the release of Captain Price in Modern Warfare Season 4. It was released as an attachment to an email that was promoting the game, and has since been discovered and is being shared throughout the Modern Warfare community. The suspicious video is a clip that was posted today, Thursday, May 21 in a rather secretive way.

The new tease for the upcoming fourth season comes from a new Call of Duty video posted to the official YouTube channel for the first-person shooter military franchise. For Sloane's part, he said in a video interview that he sees Price as a "protector and guide." For his take on the iconic character, he says he worked to make him "someone you would aspire to be.New Call of Duty Video Teases Captain Price They liked that he knew to move like a soldier, which they hoped would give Price a physical presence he didn't have before. Sloane has an extensive filmography, but it was his history of military productions that caught the team's attention. Infinity Ward settled on English actor Barry Sloane. He's now just as much a part of CoD as Mountain Dew partnerships or Prestige-ing (although he apparently outlasted the latter). Like those classic characters, Price's legacy has moved beyond his original appearance. Because of this, Kurosaki said that casting the role felt like casting a new James Bond or Batman. A new actor was chosen to bring new energy to Price, but he also had to represent the classic elements of the character. "The actor needed to embody Price, not just voice him," Kurosaki said on the stream. In that way he's like a comic book hero, a figure who must be reinterpreted to match the new era in which his story is now being told. The Price we see, therefore, is not the same Price who tried to prevent nuclear war alongside Soap all those years ago. The 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare takes place in a separate timeline from the 2007 version. During the interview, they admitted that there was a challenge in making the character fresh and relevant. Infinity Ward couldn't just copy and paste Price as fans remember him, though. The CoD developers themselves acknowledged the declining interest in story by totally ditching campaign in Black Ops 4. Now that Modern Warfare is bringing back a Price-centric campaign, however, fans are hyped for single-player once again. Some even credit his presence and badassery as the reason Modern Warfare's campaign succeeded where later entries failed. Captain Price made quite an impression on players during the original Modern Warfare.
