Infinity Ward's reboot of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series has seen several notable characters return in 2022's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, though some players a lamenting the absence of Gary "Roach" Sanderson. The Task Force 141 operator serves as one of the four playable characters from 2009's Modern Warfare 2, with the 2022 entry instead introducing a swath of new characters to join Capt. Price's fight. The lament for Roach's absence appears to even stretch to some other character from the original 2009 game, including a key character who unknowingly plays a key role in Makarov's plans.
