Why wait for launch day when the story is already playable? Activision has opened Campaign Early Access for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and for Indian fans there’s a bonus: one mission is set in Mumbai.
What’s the Story?
Sixteen missions take you across the Korean Peninsula, Paris, New York and Mumbai. You play Private Park Hyun Jun, who fights a full-scale invasion with his squad. Meanwhile, operator-turned-outlaw John Price hunts the person pulling the strings behind it all.
New to the saga? A “Story So Far” recap on the official blog covers the Urzikstan invasion, the beginnings of Task Force 141 and the clash between Captain Price and General Shepherd. Read the franchise’s background on Wikipedia.
