9 Operators Infinity Ward NEEDS In Modern Warfare
4. Yuri
There are several hints during Modern Warfare that the infamous Makarov will make his return.
The most notable of which is the mission Piccadilly. A terrorist attack that results in the deaths of countless civilians at Piccadilly had already been predicted years earlier in Modern Warfare 2. When entering Makarov's house in Loose Ends players can find newspaper clippings of the exact same attack.
During the Modern Warfare 3 campaign it is revealed that Makarov orchestrated many of the horrific events that transpired in the series. It could be that Infinity Ward is going for something similar in the new timeline.
Alongside him during those atrocities was his former friend and ally, Yuri. Before the events of No Russian in MW2, Yuri defected from Makarov and later joined Soap and Price in taking the villain down.
By adding Yuri into the mix, Infinity Ward would give fans a huge hint towards Makarov's return or an insane red herring.
