Along with that info, we also got a short video showing off the art for some of the game’s characters, which includes a return of Task Force 141, who were also principal characters in the original Modern Warfare 2. We also caught a glimpse of a mysterious numbered sequence that reads “J-8-22” at around the 44-second mark, which just might be an important date for fans to look forward to.
