I'm going to keep this short & simple. If you have seen trailers, then we all know in Modern Warfare 2022, General Shepard is alive. He is not wearing an eye patch. If people remember, soap through a knife into his left eye back in MW2. So Google originally said GS died in MW2. Now he's alive, BUT not wearing an eye patch and Ghost is alive. Can some please, in a simplified manor, elaborate on this .
It's a reboot, not really that complicated
This game isn't following the same storyline as the previous titles, anything can happen
Its a reboot dude. Don't hurt your brain, a simple google would have worked
But has the same old characters, like price, ghost, soap, oh, and new but different black gaz lol
But a lot of the same characters are in it like ghost, soap, and price
I have and it didn't do anything. It has some characters like price, ghost, and soap, but different
Do you not know what a reboot is
designers take elements from a previous game series and essentially start it over again. There are usually big changes to characters, settings, or the overall story
All I'm trying to say is, instead of changing half of the characters, they should've just picked from the '19MW or picked up from one of the others
That's the entire point of a reboot. Same characters, different storyline.
The main thing I'm trying to figure out is how General Shepard is alive and why doesn't he have an eye patch then
It's a different storyline. The eye thing hasn't happened.
Yes a reboot can have the same characters but not in the same continuity
>"Why are Thomas and Martha Wayne alive again and die again in Batman Begins??? They already died in the comics!!"
That's you.
Well in the title itself , it explains batman, but since we're playing a game now
"Boohoo I live in my mom's basement and live on this app" that's you :|
So then must be a prequel then you marble brain
It's not a prequel, either.
Realistically, mw19 could've been considered a prequel since it's just Price and Gaz, but 1. It takes place in 2019, not before 2016. And 2. A completely different story was written for MW22. What you're thinking of is a remaster, where everything stays the same.
What brain?
It's like put some U.S soldiers in starwars. Why? Both deal with war so let's change the storyline and some characters. That's how I see it as
The one I pooped out while I was filling taxes
Use Ghostbusters as an example. The old and newish reboot, yes different characters, but same thing
No. It’s a completely different universe. It has homages to the original Modern Warfare games but they’re completely new characters with the same look as the old characters in a completely new plot. Eyepatch Shepard does not exist in this timeline. It’s a new thing. That’s what a reboot is.
That’s not a reboot. That’s a sequel. Some call it a “soft” reboot because it attempts to draw in a new generation of fans but the previous Ghostbusters films are canon. That is NOT the case for Call of Duty.
ITT OP is braindead
Should have just said no and saved us all some time
It's a reboot. In terms of 'canon', it's unrelated to the original MW trilogy. The characters exist but in an entirely universe/timeline. This is what a reboot is.
Luke the Ninja Theory Devil May Cry Reboot in 2013. Or like every superhero game, movie, comic ever. You play the current Spiderman and see how it's unrelated to other Spiderman games and media, albeit with the same characters ie Peter Parker, Aunt May, Mary Jane, Miles Morales, etc.
No one care how you see it. You asked why the story was radically different - it's a reboot.
Since you don't seem to understand the concept of a reboot (wtf?). Imagine it more as if it's an alternate universe.
So many people here getting trigger by an obvious troll haha. Just leave OP to his little “underbridge abode” and move on everyone.

... MW 2019 was a soft reboot of the MW franchise alongside rewriting a few characters (Gaz being black and lost his beard) and adding a new set of allied character network...
