The first of theEaster eggsinModern Warfareis a weapon charm that looks like jumper cables at first glance, but references a scene from theModern Warfare 2mission “Takedown.” In the mission, the player watches as one of the most popular characters inCall of Duty, Ghost, is about to torture a person with jumper cables for information pertaining to a person of interest.
Next up is a weapon charm that looks like a canister of gasoline, but has a much darker story tied to it. The gasoline canister is the same one used by a soldier at the end of theModern Warfare 2mission “Loose Ends,” where General Shepherd betrays Roach andGhostby shooting them both, and then has a soldier light the pair on fire– one of the saddest moments inCall of Dutyhistory.
The final charm is a revolver that General Shepherd uses throughout the entireModern Warfare 2campaign. Aside from using it to kill both Roach and Ghost, Shepherd uses it again in the final mission of the campaign, “Endgame,” which has one of the most memorable moments in aCall of Dutygame. As General Shepherd is about to kill Captain Price, Soap saves him by throwing a knife through General Shepherd’s eye.
