In Call of Duty: Warzone, players have been waiting a long time for the famous soldier “John “Soap” MacTavish. He was the hero of the earlier Modern Warfare series and according to leaks, he will soon be coming as an operator to the Warzone.
Who is Soap? Those who have played the old Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from 2007 or its two successors understand that “Soap” is not about hygiene products or cheesy series, but a tough Scottish fighter with a mohawk haircut, whom players largely embodied in the games.
That’s why he is so popular: In the first Modern Warfare, you start your soldier career in Soap’s boots, who is first hustled through the training camp by Captain Price and has to listen to silly jokes about his nickname.
Together with the gruff captain, Soap completes one danger after another over many hours of gameplay, growing more and more in the players’ hearts.
Therefore, his death in a mission of Modern Warfare 3 is also quite harsh and shocks the players. The scene where Price tries to save the lifeless Soap is, for many players, a sad highlight of the series.
As CoD veterans like Price and Ghost are already in the game and can be chosen as operators in the Warzone, many fans wondered for a long time where Soap is.
Leaked announces Soap as a new Warzone operator
This speaks for Soap as a new operator: During a conversation about upcoming content for CoD Warzone, the developers announced in July 2020 that Soap is definitely on the way.
However, no specific date was mentioned and in the last season of the Warzone, Soap was not included as an operator.
However, since Soap has not appeared so far, fans are slowly wondering where he is. But the known leak site Modern Warzone can help.
It is stated on Twitter:
At the end of the evening, we want to bring you the best news so far.
Soap is coming.
However, the source of the leak is not specified. But since Modern Warzone has previously provided accurate leaks – among other things, predicting the Warzone correctly – many fans take the revelation seriously and are looking forward to Soap’s return.
Others are confused about how the supposedly dead Soap will fit into the story. The majority of fans, however, seem to be happy about the return of the good Scottish man.
Soap does not belong to the crew from the current CoD Cold War, which dominates the upcoming season of CoD Warzone. But the developers at Infinity Ward are likely still planning some new content for Modern Warfare and the Warzone. Perhaps Soap will also be included as a new Warzone operator.
