MW4 Campaign Mission List: All 16 Missions
The MW4 campaign mission list has 16 missions, starting with Mayhem in Hajin City and ending with Greater Good. Call of Duty confirms the count of 16; the order and most names come from guides written from the released game, and Activision has officially shown three of the names. Settings are kept spoiler-light: where you are and who you play, not what happens.

The three storylines in the MW4 campaign mission list
The missions switch between three points of view. Most of the Korean missions follow Private Park and his squad, South Korean conscripts Park, Jay, Cho and Moon with US Marines West and Dunn, from the first day of the invasion of Hajin City to the counter-attack. A second thread follows Captain Price outside the law, with missions in New York, Paris and Mumbai alongside Valeria. A third view, in Following Orders, puts you on the North Korean side.
If you are coming from DMZ, the Hajin missions are the ones to watch. Mayhem, Losing Ground, Counter Attack and Entrenched take place in and around Hajin City, which Activision says became the DMZ exclusion zone after the campaign. The Hajin map shows the same city, the river crossings and the North Korean side to the west.
MW4 missions with official footage
- Losing Ground (mission 5): Call of Duty gave a first look at this campaign early access mission in July; the guides place it in Hajin City during the invasion. Watch on YouTube.
- Traffic (mission 6): a Campaign First Look video from Call of Duty. Watch on YouTube.
- Entrenched (mission 14): the open beta mission, described by Call of Duty as a large-scale assault to stop a power station falling into enemy hands. It was the first campaign mission ever included in a Call of Duty beta. Beta blog.
Which MW4 mission is the longest?
Stranded, mission 10, is the one that slows most players down. It is a semi-open area behind enemy lines with outposts, a base camp to upgrade and most of the campaign’s collectibles, so it can take much longer than a linear mission if you explore. The rest are linear set pieces. For overall playtime, see how long the MW4 campaign is.
Can you replay MW4 campaign missions?
Yes. According to the trophy guides, mission select opens after you finish the story, nothing is missable, and Realism difficulty unlocks after one completion. That means you can play once for the story and go back for collectibles and mission trophies. The collectibles guide lists which missions have them.
