Released on October 24, Modern Warfare is the much-anticipated return to the Call of Duty franchise from renowned developers Infinity Ward. With pro players and content creators all streaming the game at launch, lobbies currently boast some of the best talent in the world.

Throughout the release day broadcast on Twitch, Nade matched up against fellow veterans of the CoD scene and hilariously took them all down in a ridiculous three-piece.
