History Trivia / CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019

* NoExportForYou: Physical release on all platforms and any sort of release on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 were cancelled in Russia, presumably for antagonizing Russia once again, although this one is a [[RenegadeRussian rogue military general]]. It didn't help that Urzikstan, the fictional nation that is the center of the conflict, is basically an {{Expy}} of Syria and Chechnya.

** The ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' reboot is the first COD game since ''Ghosts'' to lack a Zombies mode. However, one of the artists at Infinity Ward, Arron Beck, [[https://www.pcgamesn.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare/zombies-mode showed concept art that revealed that Zombies actually was considered to return]]. According to Beck, it was cancelled because it clashed with the more grounded and realistic tone of the reboot.
** The Accuracy International [=AX50=] originally [[https://tcrf.net/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_(Windows)#Cut_variant_of_AX-50 had a variant that resembles the CheyTac Intervention]], a sniper rifle used in ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare MW2]]''.

* NamesTheSame: Alex the SAD operative versus Alex Mason in ''Black Ops'', who is also a CIA agent stationed overseas, the primary differences here being the time periods. Heck, it's probably a MythologyGag. [[spoiler:Both also are presumed dead, but later found to be alive, in addition to being hit in the same body part which are revealed to be their legs (For Mason, at least in the best possible ending for Black Ops 2)]].

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: In 2020, Activision fired and blacklisted Jeff Leach, the voice actor for Ghost, after he made disparaging comments towards female gamers on his Twitch stream.

* ExecutiveMeddling: After announcing Godzilla and Kong's involvement with the Franchise/MonsterVerse crossover, Activision posted a list of stipulations regarding their portrayals -- many of which were broken by the various [=MonsterVerse=] movies. For example, Godzilla cannot be shown running, jumping, or flying -- the first two of which he was shown doing in ''[[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' and ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'', and the latter of which is a reference to ''Film/GodzillaVsHedorah''. Even more bizarrely, one rule stipulates that Godzilla cannot be associated with the terms nuclear, atomic, or radioactive -- despite his BreathWeapon being referred to as "Atomic Breath" in ''Godzilla vs. Kong'', as well as the "Nuclear Pulse" he used to kill King Ghidorah in ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters''.
