MODERN WARFARE - 20 Easter Eggs, Secrets & References

Modern Warfare has a surprising amount of cool Easter eggs and secrets to find and in this video I take a look at 20 of them. To be honest, this Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Easter egg video is probably about 3 months too late, but hey, its what I've been playing so I thought, why not?

“How many quotes do you want to reference?” Price: Yes.

[@asherhockersmith8271]

The entire game is a reference.

[@MuhammadIlhamuodd254512]

[@split2961]

*russian national anthem intensifies*

[@soandso9008]

**Russain Anthem Turns To EARAPE**

[@anthony9363]

"Give em a proper english welcome," from Gunfight, is also a callback to MW3 in Mind the Gap.

[@glebtotskiy118]

The russian on the sign also thanks his family and colleagues for helping him and believing in him and they are the reason that he tries every day. How wholesome lmao

[@Jinado1]

I know right? It's awesome. If you look a little below that though, you'll see that he got a bit lazy and just repeated one of the list items over again, 'cause twice in a row the text reads: *"Держите свои сумки с собой в любое время. Если вы видите составленный без присмотра багаж, немедленно сообщите об этом властям."*

[@SeaGLGaming]

The EE on Hill is definitely the Predator. Predator was also a playable character in Call of Duty: Ghosts on the map Ruins. In the map when calling in a Field Order strike package, there was a chance you could get the Predator. When you took control, you had a ton of health, had lock on missiles, the classic Predator melee weapon, and you had a custom thermal display. You could also go invisible unless you were sprinting I believe.

[@NukelearFallout]

Ghosts had its flaws just like any other game; but was really amazing to me about the game was all the new features they introduced that made it fun in its own way. The special streaks they had in Ghosts was one of the best features; and I have to say some of the maps were badass, especially with the easter eggs.

[@SeaGLGaming]

@@NukelearFallout The special streaks just made every DLC map worth playing, even if the map itself wasn't the best. Every DLC map basically had a minigame of trying to get the field orders and completing them to try to get those streaks. Really hope they bring them back in the future.

[@8642218]

I was the predator alot in ghosts and I never knew about the missiles. That sucks.

[@AtomicTitan1954]

COD Ghosts was sick. Couldn't you also become Michael Myers on one map, and it would play the theme?

[@SeaGLGaming]

@@AtomicTitan1954 Yup! It was on the Fog map. And souls of those you killed as him would gather above the map.

[@stelarnormal1953]

In the Gulag Showers gunfight map, the hole in the roof is a reference to MW2, when you blow a hole in the roof and escape with Captain Price

[@joshrowlinson5565]

The beanie on the goat looks like the one captain price wears in some mission on the campaign, maybe its showing that captain price is the goat? As in greatest of all time? Dunno about the cow tho🤣

[@Dave-bi2em]

Josh Rowlinson maybe it’s makarov

[@Gabo-wg3dv]

It is supposed to be calling Price the "GOAT" I think a Dev confirmed it or maybe it was Ace

[@aceventurasspear22]

Imma keep it a buck, I thought that it was a reference to the Lion King at Mufasa’s death

[@trininjatrinity8159]

Goat simulator

[@flex9696]

The Gulag MW2 mission maybe aswell? When Roach is taken down by Price.

[@syrup8337]

The juggernaut plays music out of his radio, doom guy

[@BagValley]

Another moment that kind of felt like a throwback/reference is during the mission in the embassy, at the very beginning. When you jump onto the rooftop and look at the helicopter as it crashes, one of its blades nearly splits you in half. The same type of near-death happens at the very end of the original Modern Warfare, when Nikolaï explodes Imran's helicopter, right before you kill him.

[@ze1sthere957]

The price says: This one is mine. If you kill the enemy before Price, he will say: Nevermind. I think Cpt,McMillan says the same thing if you kill his target in cod 4.

[@ranjasgel]

"Your fruit killing skills are remarkable!" "On your feet soldier- We are leaving!" "Check those corners!" "Switching to your sidearm is ALWAYS faster than reloading" "Knife the water melon." "Bullets can penetrate thin materials such as wood, plaster and sheet metal."

[@Gabo-wg3dv]

@Turbo you can just not switch to your pistol then.

[@PriyankaSharma-lc8be]

The clock Easter egg is a reference to ‘Back to the Future’ as in it Marty uses a lightning strike on a clock to power the DeLorean and the fire trail is also a reference.

[@Mr_Snifflez]

While playing mw2 remastered there’s news clippings in the house in Loose Ends that references the bombing at the Picadilly

[@crazy922blade]

There’s one really tiny insignificant one that you missed, in the first mission, ‘fog of war’, I accidentally pressed the L1 button while looking through the binoculars and threw a flash bang, the Russians started shooting at me and Alex said in the radio, ‘we need those air strikes NOW’. It’s very minor but somewhat notable

[@sylvy.]

6:40 i may be 2 years late to the party, but at the end of the modern warfare campaign you can hear kate laswell saying that they have loose ends which really reminded me a lot of that one scene from modern warfare 2

[@erfanesmaili12]

[@BBNOMERCY]

There's a reference in the campaign mission in picadilly the scenario in question there is a hostage unwillingly hooked up to a suicide vest and the player desperately tries to remove the vest to no avail, it is very similar to the scene from The Hurt Locker where the main character faces the same scenario

[@lucasovergaardlarsen2036]

The easter egg with the Santa in his sleigh is a reference to the first back to the future movie. At the end of the movie when Doc Brown helps Marty get back to the 80's the clock in the town hall is hit by lightning, which then travels through a cable and end up sending Marty back to the '80s. Leaving behind a track of fire, from where the wheels on the Delorean where.

It's like the game is criticizing you for killing innocent civilians, which makes sense because the military in most countries cannot kill innocent civilians. It's also funny because then it kicks you back to the mission select screen...

In the mission where you go after the butcher with Nikolai at the end cutscene were you leave with captain price, he says Shock and Awe which is a reference to the cod 4 mission shock and awe which shows the events after the nuke is dropped

[@1500Chevy]

[@nickh.27]

The whole van scene is also very similar to a mw3 mission where you take the bomb maker in the van and the van has a hard time getting started.

Hey, on the map Vacant if you go outside the map you can find Tavorsk District, Krovonik Farmland, and Port from Ground War. But as well you can find the Gulag from COD MW2 Campiagn. You can fly inside and see parts of the level, though low poly you can see different parts of the level.

[@Ericschapira]

1:31 I really love your content bro it makes my day better

[@alittlebitofhistory]

There was something I noticed but I could be over thinking it. In the original Modern Warfare on the mission where you attempt to capture Victor, Sgt Griggs has to join you in the tower as over watch as being Black he can't pass as a Russian. Cut to the new Modern Warfare the mission you are out to capture the Butcher Garrick has a slight working knowledge of Russian when they meet the civilian in the hall way.

[@BlackRaven446]

The santa easter egg is refference to Back To The Future movie when the lightning hit the weather vane at 12 o'clock! :D as the fire plume after Santa's sleigh!

[@hi-its-matt]

I also liked how all of the dates that the missions plays through are the days following the games release. If you wanted to, you could play through the missions in real time on the correct days.

[@julzR23]

Idk why, but the intro to "into the furnace" reminds me of the bridge scene at the end of Modern Warfare. I might be wrong, but it's appearance and even the perspective of the camera starting from the floor reminded me when shoot Zakhaev.

When he said about the Predator DLC I couldn’t stop thinking about the cod ghosts Easter egg

[@SergeantJWhite]

The 451 code originally appeared in System Shock and then in System Shock 2 as 45100. 0451 is the first code you get for a door in the original Deus Ex game from 2000. It opens the com van at the UNATCO helipad on Liberty Island. It's been in games ever since. It isn't a reference to Fahrenheit 451. Warren Spector in fact revealed that: "If you've been playing a lot of Looking Glass and Ion Storm games you know that the code here is 0451, which is first used in System Shock. It showed up in Thief, it showed up in System Shock 2, it showed up in BioShock and Dishonored recently, and in both Deus Ex games. A lot of people think it was a reference to Fahrenheit 451, the Ray Bradbury book, but it was actually just the key code to get into the offices at Looking Glass in Cambridge. But it's in so many games now, it's kind of a defining thing in what we used to call 'immersive simulations.'"

[@tempest6069]

My favourite has to be the pilot on the Embassy mission. So nice to hear the old Price voice turn up, even if he gets killed off 30 seconds later
