Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's Release Date Gives Its Campaign One Week to Actually Matter

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is one of the biggest launches scheduled for October, and it's one of the last major games before the likes of Nintendo's Ocarina of Time remake and GTA 6 come blazing through to overshadow everything else. This release date puts Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 in a fascinating position, and the campaign launching ahead of the rest of the game adds even more intrigue to the franchise's newest Modern Warfare chapter. Modern Warfare 4 is a completely original story that marks the series' departure from the original trilogy and its reboot. Set during a modern-day conflict between North and South Korea, there are some high expectations surrounding the game, and its newness makes the campaign far more compelling than the last three chapters.
