'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' expected to make solo run

A June 27 release date for the standalone version of cult classic "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is said to have come from an inside source at a major US retailer. Ahead of 2016's "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," which pushed the franchise's recent sci-fi motif further than many fans had been comfortable with, publisher Activision found a way to keep its core audience on board. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" took the first-person shooter genre and redefined it thoroughly, embracing rollercoaster cinematic storylines, multiple protagonists, contemporary global settings, and a milestone progression system that kept players glued to its multiplayer mode.
