Elliot Knight storming onto the Activision film lot, demanding to know why Gaz wasn’t in the MW4 trailer…

[ghouljams]

Hey ghoul! Do you think any of the boys would leave the force? What if they have a partner they’re over the moon with who’s too scared for them? Compromise or the highway or desk job? Thank you!

I always feel sort of mean when I answer asks like this because the answer is: no. Genuinely and within the context of canon there is no way any of these men would ever leave the military no matter who asked.

Soap has been dreaming of being an SAS officer since he was a kid, to the point of forging papers to try and enlist illegally, this is the only thing he has ever wanted to do and he's really fucking good at it. If shirking a potential court martial after kidnapping a General (senator? I can't remember rn) doesn't tell you this man is ruthlessly, stubbornly, devoted to his moral cause then I don't know what will. Soap is dedicated to the army, it's everything to him, and I can't see any reason you could give that would make him give it up. He wants to do this work, he's good at it, and he's following a rigid moral code that you're not going to sway him against. The idea of doing desk work is so antithetical to who he is as a person you may as well ask him to flay himself. He won't leave, and there's no compromise you could offer that would he'd agree too.

Gaz is the same. He's not just a good SAS agent he's the best, the kind of good that you don't get to if you're not wholly dedicated to it. Gaz isn't Price's protege for nothing, the man made the decision long ago that he's happy to get his hands dirty if it means he gets the job done and I doubt he has any moral issues with it at this point. There is an efficiency to the way he was able to wrap his head around Price's "gloves off" tactics that tell me he was always willing to do what needed to be done and he always wanted to be the one doing it. You are not going to convince this man to go against Price's orders and that is the only authority Gaz is going to bow to, so you may as well get used to crying to a stone wall because that's all you're going to get. Leave the SAS? Take a desk job? He'll turn it around and make you apologize for even asking, make you feel guilty for even worrying. You don't trust him, you don't think he's competent, you don't care about the safety of other people. If you can't handle what you signed up for when you married him, you can leave.

Ghost... I mean I genuinely don't think this man cares enough about other people to even find a long term partner let alone allow that partner to think they could dictate any part of his career. Even if he did? What else is he going to do if not this? You think he'd be happy doing desk work? You're deluding yourself. He was made for warfare, he was born angry, born to fight and kill and die in a hail of gunfire. He won't even take a photo for the SAS and you think he could be persuaded to leave a job he so clearly was made for? Sure.

Price can't leave. He made this job his life a long time ago, put his parameters in place and has been pushing them further to where he needs them ever since. The man who shot General Shepherd execution style in his office is not going to leave the army and I don't think you need me to explain to you why that is. If he can't be in the army legally he'll form a militia and keep doing what he already was doing with fewer guard rails and less care for the civilians he's impacting. You want to see ruthless? He'll give you ruthless. You ask him to leave the army and you will never see him again, it's easier that way, maybe not for you but certainly for him. And at the end of the day that's the only person he really cares about.

So.....if Ghost and Price are fighting..... who's getting custody of Gaz???

[dasphinxone]

Oh, Alex and Farah for sure. If he never shows up in MW4, I'm just gonna assume he's kicking it with the ULF from here on out 🤷🏽‍♀️

[sgt-bluesummers]

Just heard gaz's actor (elliot knight (i think i spelt it right? I dont know the actors)) took all the cod stuff off his insta and hasnt posted the trailer like price n ghosts actors,,,,, i think this means no gaz,,,,,, im gonna throw things,,,,,

[dasphinxone]

Considering how racist the Fandom has been towards him and Activision constantly erasing him despite him being the most interesting character with a real hero's arc? I don't blame him. Cause THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT

[dasphinxone]

Okay, MAYBE this is Gaz in the Modern Warfare 4 trailer?!

[tchtokyo]

Okay I saw the new mw4 trailer and I have to say where tf is gaz??

Bc sure I understand it looks like there's no tf141 and it seems like price gone rogue and ghost is tasked by another entity or idk ghost created his own tf but where's gaz???

Gaz was already one the of the most hated and forgotten characters, are u telling me that him being one of the mcs in three games was for nothing?? Now hes just discarded bc proly they dont know what to do with him???

Honestly im not really excited for the new game, ngl, I think the third was like a good ending for this story, why not just come up with a new one instead of rebooting AGAIN

Gaz was honestly the reason I watched and played so nope not even going to try

[dasphinxone]

What's insane to me is that he's arguably the most complicated character of the 141. Plus, we play his POV pretty much the most of the entire 141.

Since he's Price's protégé, he has to pick between his loyalty to the SAS/Laswell who runs the 141, his comrades in the 141 and his mentor in Price. That's a crazy three way decision he could be forced to make. All while grieving Soap's death. Soap who he's the same age as and who we can assume they trained and came up the ranks with each other in the SAS.

We could have gotten and AMAZING story around Gaz who has to swiftly mature. Not only with deciding which side he's on but also dealing with the utterly insane fallout from the North Korea invasion. And because I love trauma, it could all end with him being the only survivor of the 141 in the end, like OG Price is in the original MW games.

Sure, Gaz is alive. But he's lost his friends and is BARELY clinging on to his humanity. All while now being the grizzled survivor and promoted captain who's training the next group of new SAS operators.

WE COULD HAVE HAD AN AMAZING HERO ARC FOR MY PRETTY BOY, GODDAMMIT.

[deadbranch]

Only Gaz can heal what's left of the Task Force.

[dasphinxone]

He'd better show up or i'll be done with this shit.

[femalefemur]

i hope gaz has retired and is away from this bullshit and is now in uni doing a degree and has everyone swooning over him

[dasphinxone]

Him way from all the bullshit, getting his degree, being hot and modeling, lol

[like-you-alive]

In the wonderful words of Raye

WHERE THE HELL IS MY HUSBAND???

[dasphinxone]

WHERE IS HE?!??!

[loverifle]

[dasphinxone]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PRETTY MAN?! He's literally Price's protégé and is nowhere to be FUCKING FOUND?!

[loverifle]

[junos-library]

Im curious whats gonna happen for the plot stuff. Cause now its held in Kpop Land yk?

Anuwau thats all Im geekin about gotta nap again

[dasphinxone]

Where THE FUCK IS MY PRETTY BOY GAZ?!

[w0lfwoof]

This new mwiiii teaser is breaking me to bits!!

I have a feeling Ghost will kill Price (not that he doesn't deserve it, he's one of the reason soap is dead in my opinion) but still...

I will admit, Price is my favorite, and he's the one who got me into this ridiculous mess of a military propaganda game. But ughhh. Brb I'll be back later

[w0lfwoof]

And where's gaz gonna be through this? He makes me the saddest to think about. I'm too much of a sensitive person 💧💧💧💧 CAN'T WE GO BACK TO BEING A HAPPY HAPPY FAMILY PLEASE/J

[dasphinxone]

That part? Because WHERE IS GAZ?! (though now that I think about it, if he decided to say "fuck it," retire and go home after all that trauma? Yeah, I'm fine with that. Because I'd be tired of all the bullshit too).

My Modern Warfare IV /사 (2026) thoughts:

Korean location and story! (I'm into Korean pop culture and quite familiar with the vibe and it's so spot on)

New main character unlocked - Sergeant Jae.

New North Korean supreme leader, and it seems that his first agenda is invade South Korea and hauled ass to do it. (Backed by Makarov? He's said to be really young so he's gullible and easily influenced by Mak.)

This is an all-out invasion and might go into WWIII.

Saw a North Korean female officer looking for "a defector" in a North Korean village. It's giving the "Alone" mission ngl 👀.

Price is a fugitive after killing General Shepherd and doesn't care about the rules anymore. Soap's death hit him the hardest it seems 😔.

Price teams up with Valeria Garza. There was Laswell's voice saying that he's carrying a weapon "the kind we denied exists." He might use it against Makarov (?).

ALEJANDRO AND RUDY POTENTIALLY COMING BACK??

Laswell is certainly asking for Ghost and Gaz's help to STOP THIS MAN NOW.

Ghost vs Price I'm SITTING IN FEAR. Are we going to play as Ghost to fight Price or playing as Price to fight Ghost. I DON'T LIKE THIS I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS 😭😭😭😭

Ghost in his OG attire is BACK though!! He's so hot I can't--

Ghost's patch caught my eye. It's a British flag patch but with SAS's logo on it. Not the 141. TF141 might be disavowed like in the OG's.

WHERE IS GAZ.

WHERE IS GAZ.

WHERE IS MAKAROV.

WHERE IS GAZ.

I'm scared.

Sick new operator pack skins though

WHERE IS GAZ.

[dasphinxone]

Again, WHERE THE FUCK IS GAZ?!

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IV (2026) - Official Trailer

Coming October 23rd, 2026.

[dasphinxone]

This cute and all, but WHERE IS GAZ?!

[pricegazagegap]

pet peeve: when people insist they don't include gaz in their art bc he's just too normal and well adjusted to be interesting. it's such a thinly veiled excuse lol. literally one of the first things we learn about him is that he's pent up with frustration that they won't let him go hog-wild with violence. he imprints on an older man whose first impression was pushing a civilian to his death in front of him. he let's that man reshape his own philosophy bc it's the path to recognition and more state sanctioned violence. he's hot-headed. price has to hold him back from killing a subdued prisoner bc he hates the guy so much. depending on player's choice he might point a gun at price or at helpless civilians bc he's on a power trip. the fact that he puts up a token protest at price's initiation of him only highlights the fact that when asked if he's in or out he ditches the moral conundrum in order to stay at price's side. plus, him being loyal and competent isn't the same as being tame lol. you literally just never gave his character half the chance you gave the others. soap is loyal too. he also balks at violence against civilians. he knows how to lock in and do his job. it doesn't stop people from exploring his other more volatile aspects... I wonder why that is 🤔

[writesthrice]

The Gaz Erasure is TOO fucking casual.

"Boring" my ass!

First of all, he's Price's golden boy.

And the scariest member of the 141 is NOT fucking Ghost, spooky mask aside! Ghost follows orders. He bares his teeth and barks, but he won't bite unless told to.

Price uses morals and orders and laws and plain old human decency as TOOLS to achieve his goals. Uses those things, and people, and as soon as they're no longer useful, he discards them.

The Trolley Problem has never been a conundrum for Price - kill the one, save the many, and oh well if the one is just as innocent.

Simple Maths.

And who is standing at the Captain's shoulder, his little shadow, the Heir Apparent?

Gaz.

Price is a man who has honed his rage into the finest edged sword, and he's showing Gaz how to use his own.

And they call him "boring"!

At best, those who think Gaz is boring are boring in and of themselves - people who can't read between the lines and can't see the potential there.

At worst, they're rascist assholes, AND can't read between the lines!
