Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be releasing on October 25th. Though the upcoming instalment is a soft reboot of the
Modern Warfare subseries, a way that it will pay homage to the previous iteration of the series was recently revealed (via
IGN).
The different special editions of
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will offer
"Operator Packs". These will each include different cosmetic items that are based on iconic missions from the original
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game that released in 2007.
In the new
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare game, players will be able to pick from a roster of operators. Each of these characters offer
"their own backstory, nationality, character dialogue, character skins and cosmetic customization options." The recently revealed special editions of the game include three Operator Packs.
The Operator Edition will cost $79.99 and feature each of the Operator Packs, while the Operator Enhanced Edition will cost $99.99 and include each of the Operator Packs as well as 3,000 COD Points. Every edition of
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available to pre-order now. Below is a breakdown of the different Operator Packs that both of the editions will include.
“All Ghillied Up” Operator Pack:
-
Named 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 Pack:
-
Paying 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.
