What is the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign about?

The iconic Modern Warfare campaign ended with Captain John Price allowing the formation of Task Force 141 to take on Zakhaev Junior. Modern Warfare 2 will pick up three years later, while the Task Force 141 is already up and running.

The campaign will begin with a US Strike killing a foreign general, prompting the nation to seek out revenge. Task 141 will team up with the Mexican Special Forces to stop the incoming threat. The operators must travel the world to stop the global threat.

Task Force 141 includes:

  • Alejandro Vargas
  • Captain John Price
  • John “Soap” MacTavish
  • Kyle “Gaz” Garrick
  • Simon “Ghost” Riley

It's currently unknown how long the Modern Warfare 2 campaign will be, but Modern Warfare was six hours back in 2019. If you complete side missions as well, the campaign will take you about nine hours.
