Captain Price is the man who knocks. In the wide world of video game crossovers, you might not think you'd be able to find much of a connection between Task Force 141 and Heisenberg, but there is one.
With the Modern Warfare 2 campaign being called a much-needed return to form for the often sidelined part of the Call of Duty universe, players are rattling through it and finding a few surprises along the way. When you've finished ogling Valeria, look out for Walter White "cooking" up a storm.
What Is The Modern Warfare 2 Breaking Bad Easter Egg?
Posting in the Modern Warfare 2 subreddit, u/DHyperOnYT shared a screenshot from the game's campaign. You don't have to look too close to see the famous RV that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) use to cook their iconic blue meth.
Responding to the Breaking Bad Easter egg in the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, fans championed a Walt Operator skin. "Walter White in his underwear skin when?" said one, while another added, "If they released a heisenberg/walter white skin that would proudly be my first purchase in a CoD game." It's true, we imagine a Breaking Bad pack would make a small fortune.
It's been nine years since we wrapped Walt's story in "Felina" and rounded off what's held as one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Still, Breaking Bad has remained relevant thanks to the likes of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie and Better Call Saul - the latter of which recently finished its six-season run. Breaking Bad Easter eggs are also everywhere in video games, and you might be able to spot a discarded pizza in Cyberpunk 2077.
Where's Our Breaking Bad Video Game?
This isn't the only Breaking Bad Easter egg in Modern Warfare 2. Others found a bullet-riddled RV in the Santa Sena Invasion game mode map, which references the pilot episode where Walt and Jesse's mobile meth lab gets shot up by some rivals. As it will be part of the Al-Mazrah Warzone map, it'll be interesting to see if it also makes the leap.
With Breaking Bad still being so popular, we're asking where's our game? If an Unreal Engine 5 imagining of a Breaking Bad game wasn't enough, show creator Vince Gilligan has already said he'd love to team up with Rockstar Games to make a GTA-inspired outing for Heisenberg. In the meantime, we're left with Easter eggs littered throughout other AAA titles. Let's be honest though, in the wild world of Call of Duty that's seen the likes of King Kong dive into Warzone, a Breaking Bad crossover isn't exactly the most out-there one we've heard of.
