2016. Future warfare is like that ghost recon future soldier how all the guns are so technologically advanced and modern warfare has the same guns as mw2 and cannot be considered future.

It occurs in 2016. “Modern” doesn’t entail being exactly at this point in time. It’s pretty much just warfare with (or close to) our technological capabilities at the moment. Future warfare would have something like everyone with laser rifles and things that are currently out of our technological reach. With how fast we’ve been advancing, you can’t exactly put a year to it.
