The Call of Duty series is known for its Easter eggs – but this is perhaps the best one yet.
THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD.
This week, Activision released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (as a month-long PlayStation 4 timed-exclusive, criminally), and its developers have taken the opportunity to slip in a super cool Easter egg that fixes a nine-year-old continuity error.
It has to do with Yuri, a playable character in 2011’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. In Modern Warfare 3, the Russian loyalist is shot by Modern Warfare supervillain Vladimir Makarov. Yuri crawls into a lift and spills out into the carnage of Modern Warfare 2’s infamous No Russian level. As Yuri, you try and fail to stop the massacre, eventually collapsing on the floor just outside airport security.
