Reporting from Gamesindustry.biz, Clayton Haugen provided evidence that the actress and cosplayer he hired starting in 2017 to portray the character Cade Janus is very similar to the character in Call of Duty.
The time he uploaded to the site and social media about women in military clothing was before the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The film writer asked cosplayer Alex Zedra to portray his fictional character Cade Janus.
Clayton Haugen himself has contributed to writing or editing film stories including Hard Kill (2020), Breakout (2010) and Sovereign (2015).
The suit alleges that Call of Duty developers saw the image and hired the same actress and makeup artist as the basis for Mara, a character in 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 its first battle pass, and since then they have released several in-game variations.
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.
