Introducing the best in the business; the Operators of Modern Warfare.
Warning: Campaign Spoilers Ahead!!
Alex, one of the main heroes of the game’s Campaign, is a CIA Special Activities Division turned Warcom ground branch asset that went AWOL to join local resistance fighters. He volunteered and seemingly sacrificed himself, setting up and manually detonating explosives in order to completely destroy General Barkov’s chemical weapons factory. Following this destruction and the death of General Barkov, Al-Qatala forces, under a new leader, invaded Verdansk, rearmed and in possession of the remaining stockpiles of the toxic gas.
After exhausting multiple options, Captain John Price calls for Alex aka Echo 3-1 who was presumed KIA to return to the field to reinforce Simon “Ghost” Riley.
Operators are unique characters – each with their own backstory, nationality, character dialogue, character skins, and cosmetic customization options – that have reported for duty. In Multiplayer, they do battle, but in Special Ops, they will have to put aside their differences and work together as part of the Armistice global taskforce. You can also play as your favorite Operator in Warzone, a massive combat experience, from the world of Modern Warfare.
At the main Operators menu screen, you have the option to choose either Coalition or Allegiance as your favorite faction or remain neutral and not favor a side. When you queue up into a match, your team may be chosen based on your preferred faction. However, this may not always occur, based on available players and other game elements. If you don’t select a favorite, your faction is randomly assigned.
Here’s a look at all of the Coalition Operators including the newest one - Alex :
