Modern Warfare 4 takes the series to the Korean Peninsula, where a North Korean invasion throws the region into chaos. Players experience the conflict from two very different perspectives. On the ground, a young South Korean soldier named Private Park fights to stay alive as cities fall around him. Meanwhile, Captain Price operates in the shadows, hunting down a powerful weapon that could change the course of the war. As both storylines collide, the conflict spirals far beyond anyone’s control.
