    I knew somebody who always called the original Modern Warfare “Modern Warfare 4” because it said “Call of Duty 4” on the box and they got confused. If they still have that idiosyncrasy in their speech now all these years later, it will be interesting to see how they adapt to Modern Warfare 4 actually being a thing now.

    Edit: I was going to complain about the Chopsticks ass 4 in the logo, but then I realized that it actually says 4 in Korean, 사 sa. Clever bit of graphic design wasted on a game like this!

    Just to point out cause I don’t see anyone’s commented on it, they did the design for the number four to look like a vaguely Asian symbol (and I know ‘Asian symbol’ is a silly idea as Chinese characters and Korean characters are very distinctly different, but this symbol looks like it could be confused for either a Korean or Chinese character)

    EDIT: Oh and it’s yellow
