CoD Modern Warfare 4's Secret Weapon Is Hidden in Plain Sight

Infinity Ward says Modern Warfare 4 has unusual creative freedom because it is the first numbered "4" in the Modern Warfare series.

Unlike earlier reboots tied to existing titles, the team does not have a past Modern Warfare 4 to match or re-create.

That gives the campaign leads room to reshape the subseries while preserving the core Modern Warfare identity.

The interview with Alex Norris and Jeff Negus suggests the game can evolve more boldly without losing familiar elements like Captain Price and Task Force 141.
