Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Customizable Operators and Special Editions Detailed
 |
Yesterday Activision unveiled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a reboot of the Infinity Ward series that kicked off the CoD phenomenon. Interestingly, it was announced the traditional paid season pass has been done away with this year, with all additional maps being free, so how exactly will the game monetized?
Well, we have a hint, as Activision has revealed new details about how they’re handling Operators. Unlike the Black Ops series Specialists, Operators won’t have any gameplay-effecting abilities, but they will have a name, backstory, unique dialogue, skins, and customization options. So, in other words, selling stuff to dress up these virtual action figures is how Activision will be making their extra cash this time around.
Of course, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will come with the standard array of editions. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Operator Edition comes with three “Operator packs,” each of which includes an Operator, skin, and weapon variant based on a classic Modern Warfare mission. You also get a special in-game knife and Prestige Token, and if you get the Operator Enhanced Digital Edition, you also get 3000 Call of Duty Points. You can get the full rundown on what the Operator Edition includes, below.
“All Ghillied Up” Operator PackNamed for the infamous flashback campaign mission in the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, where you, playing as Lieutenant John Price (prior to being made Captain), must utilize camouflage and sniping tactics as you encroach the outskirts of the Ukranian city of Pripyat.
- Operator Name: Grinch
- Themed Operator Skin: Full sniper ghillie suit.
- Cosmetic Weapon Variant: Bolt-action sniper rifle, in camouflage with additional netting and suppressor, and what seems to be coordinates scratched on the surface of the weapon above the trigger, near the bolt carrier.
“Crew Expendable” Operator PackPaying homage to the second campaign mission from the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, where you, playing as Sergeant John “Soap” MacTavish, board an Estonian ship in the Bering Strait, as part of a clandestine raid by British Special Forces in an attempt to locate and obtain a rogue nuclear device.
- Operator Name: Otter
- Themed Operator Skin: Special operations with gas mask.
- Cosmetic Weapon Variant: Short-barreled pump-action shotgun designed “for close encounters”; in fact, the phrase is scratched into the stock. The weapon also comes with oil and surface markings.
“War Pig” Operator PackSharing the name with the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare mission where you, playing as Marine Sergeant Paul Jackson, lead a charge to push back an enemy counterattack and secure a tank (the “War Pig” in question).
- Operator Name: Wyatt
- Themed Operator Skin: Ground infantry Desert camouflage with tac vest.
- Cosmetic Weapon Variant: Pistol with a lightweight custom trigger, flared magwell, grip with custom stippling, accessory rail (for mounting lasers or flashlights), and “War Pig” etched into the slide.
