  1. 0:16A recap returns to Captain Price, Laswell, Shepherd, Graves and Makarov.
  2. 2:39Zerkaa chooses Regular difficulty for his first run through the campaign.
  3. 6:42Private Park searches a South Korean convenience store for stomach medicine and ramen.
  4. 9:16An explosion and power outage interrupt the errand, sending the squad outside to help a wounded soldier.
  5. 12:35Paratroopers land on a baseball field as the squad fights across the stadium.

"Here on ZerkaaActuallyPlays, we actually play through games and we actually finish them," Zerkaa says as he begins Modern Warfare 4. With God of War Ragnarok also underway on the channel, that's a growing to-do list.

His campaign opener has drawn about 83,000 views in sixteen hours, already well beyond a usual full day's audience for his regular videos. The comments are busier than usual, too, with viewers discussing the overlapping playthroughs and one joking about whether he'll still be playing Call of Duty when he reaches Captain Price's age.

Zerkaa starts the early-access campaign by choosing Regular difficulty: "Might go regular, just to enjoy it." After a recap featuring Price, Laswell and Makarov, the action moves to South Korea, where the player's first assignment is decidedly unheroic: finding stomach medicine and ramen in a convenience store for another squad member.

The shopping trip doesn't stay peaceful. An explosion cuts the power, the squad heads toward a stadium, and paratroopers descend onto the baseball field. Before long, the grocery errand has become a firefight.

Not everyone in the comments is ready to follow him into it. One viewer is saving the campaign until after playing it themselves, with Zerkaa's God of War Ragnarok series filling the gap instead.

  • Don’t take this the wrong way but I wonder if one day you’ll be doing COD playthroughs and you’ll be the same age as Price

  • I'd love to watch this but it'll have to wait until after I've played it for myself first! Your GoW:R playthrough will suffice for now!
