Reporting from Gamesindustry.biz, Clayton Haugen provided evidence that the actress and cosplayer he hired from 2017 to play the character Cade Janus is very similar to the character from Call of Duty.
The time he posted on the site and social media about women in military clothing was before the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The screenwriter asked cosplayer Alex Zedra to play his fictional character Cade Janus.
Clayton Haugen himself has contributed to writing or editing film stories such as Hard Kill (2020), Breakout (2010), and Sovereign (2015).
The lawsuit alleges that the Call of Duty developers saw the image and hired the same actress and makeup artist as the basis for Mara, a character from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Haugen accused Activision Blizzard of forcing models and makeup artists to sign nondisclosure agreements to cover up violations.
Mara has been added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as part of their first battle pass, and they have since released several variations on the game.
The previous lawsuit against Activision Blizzard by AM General, for trademark infringement for the use of Humvees in Call of Duty games, was dropped last April.
It is quite interesting to see how Activision responds or perhaps denies the lawsuit against the Call of Duty Modern Warfare game character.
