Shortly after this, it is revealed that he was working alongside the Russian ultranationalists all this time. However, the despot is captured and executed. The middle eastern despot’s palace is stormed, the troops hoping to find more information about the nuclear device and plans for its use, only to have the device ignite, devastating most of the city and its population. These two missions result in the awareness that there is a nuclear plot afoot that must be thwarted. This mission is successful, but the party’s helicopter is brought down in enemy territory and must work their way to an evacuation point.

The next mission takes us to Russia to rescue a compromised informant. The player’s first mission is to capture this leader, and secure him, but they fail in this, finding a looped recording broadcasting from the position, rather than the man himself. In the meantime, the assassination of a president in an oil-rich middle eastern country sees a pro-west leader replaces with one who loathes everything the west stands for. The basic premise is that civil war has broken out in Russia as militants seek to restore the USSR to its full Soviet glory while the government attempts to stop them. On its original release the game set the standard that has inspired thousands of competitors to emulate gameplay, perspectives and missions. Recently remastered to take advantage of improved rendering and graphic interfaces, it is a first-person shooter set in an alternate reality (albeit one that is very believable as to backstory) of present times, when the assassination of a middle eastern president threatens to ignite global warfare.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for PC was first released in 2007, but proved to be such a popular and well-crafted game that its popularity never really waned.
