Once upon a time, there was a game named Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II. This was widely regarded to be one of the best games in Call Of Duty history, so much so that the publisher Activision chose to remaster it in 2020 and then remake it for a 2022 release.

Let's run through the likely suspects before we give the game away. According to CNBC, the top ten most successful actors in that year were Denzel Washington, Shia LaBeouf, Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Robert Downey Jr., George Clooney, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp and Sandra Bullock. Obviously, I know the answer already, but I can't match any of those contenders to the person on the cover. They're masked, but it just doesn't resemble any of the aforementioned.

He added that he's also the soldier on the cover of Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare which makes sense once you've put two and two together. So, there we have it, a nice little tidbit of gaming history trivia for your Wednesday.
