Iconic settings from Modern Warfare 2 also make a fleeting comeback, much to the delight of series aficionados.
Adding to the trailer's allure, a new track titled “Call Me Revenge” by 21 Savage and D4vd fills the background. The song, crafted with the touch of One Republic’s Ryan Tedder, adds another layer of anticipation for the game's release.
