Characters
Two characters we know from Modern Warfare will return in this sequel. But, of course, new blood will be added.
Task Force 141
TF141 is an international task forceelite military unit made out of Navy Seals, Delta Force, British SAS and the CIA dedicated to hunting down terror targets. The name is based on actual task forces sent out in real life missions. Every time they go out on a mission they change the number and we happen to follow the (fictional) story of Task Force 141. In real life, TF121 was the team that took took down Saddam Hussein and Task Force 145 has been tracking Osama bin Laden in 2006. Where TF141 fits into this timeframe is unknown.

Ultranationalists Party
The Ultranationalists are a fictional political group based in Russia. As their logo would suggest, they are pro-communist, with the Soviet hammer and sickle logo in the middle of the star suggesting this. The group have militaristic ties, which they use to effect as enemies during both Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. During the events of Modern Warfare 2, the Ultranationalists are the ruling party of Russia. The party was previously led by Imran Zakhaev, who was shot dead during the final of Call of Duty 4 by Soap MacTavish. When this happened, Vladimir Makarov stepped into the role of leadership.
