With the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward did away with playable Specialists and Combat Rigs at an attempt to simplify the multiplayer experience. In previous titles, Specialists and Combat Rigs provided unique abilities, equipment, and weapons that players can use in multiplayer matches. Due to some criticisms from players, they have been replaced by Operators, which are essentially cosmetic skins with different appearances, voice lines, and executions. While Operators don’t provide any competitive advantages in multiplayer, there are quite a few for players to unlock and choose their favorite.

In order to unlock Operators in Modern Warfare, players have to complete a variety of tasks across campaign missions, multiplayer modes, and Spec Ops operations. Each Operator also has unlockable skins that players can get by completing various challenges while using them. There are a total of 18 Operators that players can unlock with three Operators from each Faction, totaling nine each for the Coalition (SAS, Warcom, and Demon Dogs) and the Allegiance (Spetsnaz, Jackals, and Chimera). This guide will outline how to unlock every Operator currently available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It also appears that more Operators might be added to the game, some as downloadable content in future updates, so this guide will be updated to include future playable Operators as well.
