Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered gets an explosive launch trailer

Just a day after rival Electronic Arts released its big single-player trailer for Battlefield 1, Activision struck back with the release of a new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.

Call of Duty has generated $15 billion over the past decade with new releases every year. Modern Warfare Remastered is a high-definition remake of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from 2007. It will be included for free for anyone who pre-purchases Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition. Those who preorder will be able to play the Modern Warfare Remastered campaign 30 days early, beginning October 5.
