The first mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is “Fog of War.” It opens the campaign in the fictional country of Urzikstan, where CIA officer Alex and his team investigate a Russian chemical-weapons shipment.
The mission introduces the reboot’s darker, more grounded tone. Alex works alongside Sergeant Kyle Garrick and local fighters while attempting to locate the stolen gas. The operation quickly becomes a tense search through woodland and enemy-held territory rather than a straightforward assault.
A common mix-up is “Going Dark,” another well-known Modern Warfare mission featuring stealth and night-vision combat. “Clean House” is also frequently remembered as an early campaign highlight, but it occurs later and follows Kyle Garrick during a house raid in London. “Fog of War” is the campaign’s opening level and establishes the central chemical-weapons storyline.
