History Trivia / CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019

* {{Jossed}}: Season 3 did this to the theory that [[spoiler:Ghost is Alex, as Alex was added as a playable operator and shown to have survived his HeroicSacrifice]]. Just to remove any possible doubt, [[spoiler:Ghost and Alex appear together in the Season 3 intro movie, confirming they are two different characters]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The ''Modern Warfare'' 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.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Ever noticed that there are no Humvee's in this game? In 2017, AM General filed a complaint regarding the series' previous use of the HMMWV, claiming that as a trademarked product they had to give permission regarding its inclusion. This was resolved in 2020, when a court ruled in favor of ''Call of Duty'' on the basis that its use of the HMMWV had proper context and artistic merit, meaning that the Humvee is open to appear in future games.

* BannedInChina: By companies, rather than the government. 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.

* TheOtherDarrin: [[Series/{{Six}} Barry Sloane]] takes on the mantle of Captain Price, succeeding Billy Murray. The voice team even loved Sloane's audition so much they dropped the pretenses, scribbled on the script to use Price's name instead of the pseudonym they were using for audition purposes, and had him read the lines knowing he was auditioning for Price.
