Call of Duty Story: War on the Korean Peninsula

War erupts on the Korean Peninsula as North Korea launches a full-scale invasion that threatens to destabilize the world. A young squad of South Korean soldiers fights to survive on the collapsing front lines, while half a world away, a vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows, staying one step ahead of those hunting him.

MW4 will launch with 12 Core maps spanning visually distinct locations around the world, plus Kill Block — a dynamic battleground that reconfigures its layout between rounds across more than 500 configurations.

That’s a staggering level of replayability right from day one.

DMZ Is Back

DMZ returns as the definitive Call of Duty extraction experience, dropping solo players and squads into a shifting combat zone where every deployment plays out differently. Fans of the mode who felt its original run was cut short will finally get the full version they were promised.

According to Wikipedia, MW4 is the twenty-third installment in the Call of Duty series and the fourth entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series.
