Infinity Ward discusses the campaign’s Korean setting in the Official XBOX Podcast. The campaign mainly takes place on the Korean peninsula, with an opening mission set in South Korea featuring Private Park. The developers wanted a fresh location and describe research into Korean culture and military life. Staff also use a Korean culture Slack channel to check details such as snacks, signs and song lyrics.

The campaign follows Private Park and his squad alongside Price and Ghost. Price is on the run, and much of Task Force 141 has been disbanded. These stories gradually reveal how the groups affect each other, even without fighting together. The discussion also highlights the detail in Hajin, a DMZ map.
