According to leaker TheGhostOfHope, Infinity Ward may be looking to include a number of famous footballers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, possibly as part of a dedicated event for the Beautiful Game.
A list of operators for the upcoming military shooter including names such as Messi and Neymar, although the full list is pretty extensive, as seen below:
- Aksel
- Connor
- Klaus
- Luna
- Messi
- Neymar
- Pogba
- Roze
- Reyes
- Gromsco
If this is true, it would be a huge get for the game, and could bring in a whole new audience, especially with the FIFA World Cup 2023 just around the corner.
This is just a rumor for now, so take it with a grain of salt. However, TheGhostOfHope has been reliable in the past, so there may be some truth to this. We’ll have to wait and see what Infinity Ward has in store for us.
