You're asking about the storyline of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, which was released in 2017 and is a faithful high-definition remaster of the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from 2007. Therefore, the storyline is exactly the same as the original game.
Here's a breakdown of the storyline:
The game is set in 2011 and revolves around a global conflict involving a radical leader in the Middle East and an ultranationalist movement in Russia. You experience the story from the perspectives of several characters:
Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish: A new recruit in the British Special Air Service (SAS). He is the primary playable character for most of the game.
Sergeant Paul Jackson: A member of the U.S. Marine Corps 1st Force Recon deployed to an unnamed Middle Eastern country.
Captain John Price: A seasoned SAS officer and leader of Soap's squad, playable in two flashback missions set in 1996.
Other limited perspectives include an American AC-130 gunship operator, a British operative on a hijacked airliner, and briefly, the president of a Middle Eastern country before his execution.
The Main Plot Points:
Middle East Conflict: A radical leader, Khaled Al-Asad, stages a coup in an unnamed oil-rich Middle Eastern country. The U.S. military invades in response. Sergeant Jackson and his Marine unit are involved in the initial assault.
SAS Operations: Meanwhile, Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish joins Captain Price's SAS squad. Their missions include:
Infiltrating a cargo ship in the Bering Strait and discovering a Russian nuclear device.
Rescuing a Russian informant named Nikolai from Ultranationalist forces with the help of Russian loyalists.
Nuclear Detonation: Intelligence suggests Al-Asad possesses a Russian nuclear weapon. The U.S. launches a full-scale assault on his presidential palace. However, the nuclear device detonates, devastating the city and killing Sergeant Jackson and his unit.
The Russian Connection: Price's SAS team tracks Al-Asad to Azerbaijan and discovers he was working with Imran Zakhaev, the leader of the ultranationalist party in Russia.
Flashback: Pripyat (1996): You play as Lieutenant Price in a flashback mission where he and Captain MacMillan attempt to assassinate Imran Zakhaev in Pripyat, Ukraine. They wound him, costing Zakhaev his arm.
Hunting Zakhaev's Son: After killing Al-Asad, the SAS team, with support from U.S. Marine Force Recon and Russian loyalists, attempts to capture Zakhaev's son, Victor, to learn Imran's whereabouts. They ambush Victor, but he commits suicide.
Nuclear Threat: In retaliation, Imran Zakhaev seizes control of a nuclear launch facility and prepares to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles at the U.S. East Coast.
Joint Operation: A joint operation is launched to retake the facility. The teams manage to remotely destroy the missiles before they reach their targets.
The Escape and Final Confrontation: As the joint forces attempt to escape, they are ambushed by Zakhaev's forces on a bridge. Many are killed. Zakhaev arrives, but a loyalist helicopter provides a distraction. Soap manages to shoot and kill Zakhaev with his pistol before being tended to by loyalist forces.
The storyline of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (just like the original) is a gritty and intense narrative that throws players into a contemporary global conflict, focusing on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the brutal realities of modern warfare.
