Season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone is coming, and a hilarious video now shows how Captain Price gets some big Twitch streamers hyped for the launch while completely roasting them: a successful marketing stunt by Activision Blizzard.
This is the situation: To drum up excitement for Season 4, which also features Captain Price, Infinity Ward has hired British actor Barry Sloane (39). He plays Captain Price in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Infinity Ward has recorded videos sent to several of the largest Twitch streamers for Call of Duty, in which Price recruits players for a secret mission. The streamers didn’t come off so well, and hundreds of thousands of viewers are laughing about the action.
Nadeshot reminded of embarrassing moments
This video was for Nadeshot: The former CoD pro Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag is now the head of his own esports organization and one of the biggest streamers on Twitch—especially due to his Warzone streams.
In the clip, Captain Price first says that they have another mission in Verdansk ahead of them. It starts on June 3, which presumably refers to the launch of Season 4.
After that, Captain Price can’t resist throwing shade at Nadeshot. He refers to an incident where the streamer used the wrong weapon in a CoD tournament and then died unnecessarily. Price says: “We might have a spot for you on the team. Just don’t pull anything crazy like you did in 2015. HBR, buddy? Are you serious? We might need a few more to support you in those decisions.”

Captain Price closely watches TimTheTatman
This clip has also surfaced: The streamer TimTheTatman, who is currently enjoying great success thanks to CoD Warzone, has received a video from Captain Price:
In this clip, Price is also not very friendly. He states that every team needs a wildcard winner, and TimTheTatman would be the fit for that.
What’s particularly funny is that it seems Price knows the streamer’s movements very well. He first comments that he should stop reading the chat, and TimTheTatman does exactly that at that moment.
After that, he tells the streamer to focus on him for a second, while TimTheTatman looks away from the video again.
DrDisrespect hits back
This is the video in question: While the other streamers were somewhat taken aback by Captain Price’s words, DrDisrespect hits back. There is a direct response on Twitter:
In this clip, Captain Price is surprisingly friendly and says that he needs DrDisrespect on his team as a sniper.
However, the streamer seems unimpressed by these words and only responds: “You have to go through my agent first. And then, once you’ve engaged my agent, you call my lawyer and my marketing and legal team. And then we’ll discuss the payment.”
Are there any more such clips? So far, videos for streamers HusKerrs and Vikkstar are also known. Whether other personalities have received such clips is still unclear.
It seems to simply be advertising for the upcoming launch of Season 4 and a bit of fun. If you need information for the launch of Season 4 in CoD Warzone and Modern Warfare, just check out our large hub for the season. There you’ll also find everything about the new weapons and operators.
