— General Shepherd We're Oscar Mike to All The Tropes Wiki, get to the edit button and describe here! Is a of the -themed FPS series, set or so. Technically, the three MW games are considered the fourth, sixth, and eighth installments of the main series, respectively. The setting is best described as an, with the divergence point lying somewhere before the, when powerful Russian leader Imran Zakhaev started a massive Ultranationalist movement in Russia. Said movement eventually initiated a civil war against the Loyalist pro-Western faction of Russia, which serves as the backdrop in the first game and the catalyst of the Middle Eastern rebellion, another of the original's plot lines. The second game, set, sees what happens to a new between the US and an Ultranationalist Russia when a covert op to unmask a wanted terrorist goes. The third one follows and the desperate hunt for.

On May 10, 2011, gaming blog Kotaku released a leaked list of Modern Warfare 3's features, including locations in the main story, new characters, and basically the entire plot of the game. Before the game was even announced.
And of course, several hours after this, the game was officially announced, showing that some locales in the game include,. The new game was developed jointly by what's left of Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, a studio that was supposedly working on a third-person version of.
Not to be confused with the Troperiffic episode. See also, a series based on the games. Take out that BTR and add more tropes to this page! Alpha to Delta.: We're not sure on how, in multiplayer matches, Brazilian gangs, African militia, or the Afghan Taliban. Er, 'Op For'. Get ahold of Harriers, Pave Lows, Russian choppers, UAVs, NATO weapons, and nukes, or how they're able to defend their turf from highly-trained Black Ops, but unless one likes having their multiplayer turned into a curbstomp.: ' trailer is both this and a.
Sam Worthington plays the 'Vet,' after previously appearing as the commando Alex Mason in. The commercial also calls back to the Black Ops advertising twice. First, with the tagline 'There's a soldier in all of us.' Second, having NBA star Dwight Howard appear toting an M16 with a grenade launcher. NBA star Kobe Bryant appeared toting the same gun in ads for Black Ops.: Mostly averted, only some weapons appear without their real names.:.
'Loose Ends' contains a lot of explanations to some apparent plot holes in Modern Warfare 2's story, if you look at the newspaper clippings. For example: it's explained Makarov, despite his own status as an Ultranationalist, was specifically harassing the new Ultranationalist government, and tensions were very high between Russia and everywhere else. The Hardened edition of Modern Warfare 3 includes a field journal kept by Soap that goes into detail about his thoughts regarding each mission, along with other little details that would be hard to show in-game, as well as his gradual growing obsession with killing Makarov.
The text on all of the loading screens shows quite a bit of interesting background information on many of the characters. For example, the intro screens to 'Blackout' in the first game notes that Nikolai was a former sergeant of a Soviet anti-tank rifle unit, and the loading screens for 'No Russian' in the second list Makarov's extensive history of terrorist attacks.: Subverted in both Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2. (While the details of the player character in Modern Warfare 2 are unconfirmed beyond his name, rank and unit, his senior, the now-Captain 'Soap' MacTavish, and the apparent 'Ghost' are both from the Special Air Service.). Modern Warfare's brutal, while still heroic subversion of this occurs when the American protagonist's team has been ordered to retreat because of the possibility of Nuclear arms on the battlefield. When an allied aircraft gets shot down, your team opts to land momentarily to save the crew, using the ' mentality. For a second there it seems the ploy works and the Americans save the surviving crew member.
Instead, the nuke goes off, the chopper goes down, everybody dies, including the American player character, who while surviving the initial crash and explosion; dies of his injuries. The world's apathetic response to this is what motivates the of 2. Modern Warfare 2 when Pfc Allen, deep undercover with the Ultranationalists, kills civilians instead of, well, saving them. And to make matters worse, when Makarov kills him, he leaves the to be found.
Much later, you find out that Shepherd helped stage the conflict so that he could abuse it as a mad attempt to get himself written into history. Then he betrays both Makarov and you. And to get at Shepherd, Price lets Makarov go, albeit not on good terms. The main American character in MW 1, played for three missions, is killed, as is the main American supporting character, and it comes down to the Brit to fire the last shot of the conflict. Subverted hard when it turns out that Shepherd started the war with Russia in the first place in an insane attempt at creating a new era of American supremacy and getting his name written into history; moreover, the surviving American character Ramirez's unit seems completely unaware of this and all too happy to counterattack Russia.
SOMEWHAT played straight in MW3, as the USA arrives in time to shore up the defense of Western Europe, and then later the Delta Force has a to make sure Price and Yuri can save the Russian President and end the war.: In 'No Russian' Makarov says 'For Zakhaev' before engaging the FSB on the runway. Which is ironic, as the airport he's murdering everyone at is called Zakhaev International Airport.
Done twice in Modern Warfare 3 'This is for the boys at Hereford'. And at the very end, 'For Soap.' .: When you complete the 'Ghillie in the Mist' (completed by getting one-shot kills with sniper rifles) challenges. The clothes you unlock are ghillie suits, which actually make your sniping better.
/: In Modern Warfare 3, Makarov's death is more of a brutal, satisfying execution than a straight-up fight. Once Price manages to actually get his hands on him, he goes down much more pathetically than, say, did in MW2. There's nothing suggesting that Makarov is a skilled fighter, and Price is an unquestionable Badass. except Price. Or rather, Price can die, but it doesn't seem to bother him that much anymore.: Vasquez, Gaz, Griggs, at least 30,000 Americans sent into, a lot of civilians in a Russian airport, Meat, Royce, Ghost. Ozone and Scarecrow are interesting, as you can save one -or, if you're really good, both- but they will die shortly before Ghost and Roach.
Not to mention pretty much every major character except Price and Nikolai in Modern Warfare 3: even though in Soap and Yuri's case, they die as NPCs even though they were at one point PCs. Even more interesting with Ozone and Scarecrow, is that those two can show up as troops in earlier levels. So they somehow come back from the dead if they die there. PCs: Al-Fulani, Jackson, Allen, Sat-1, Roach, Harkov, and Yuri. Soap survives being shot in COD4 and survives a nasty knife stab to the chest in MW2, but finally meets his maker in MW3 after falling out of an exploding building.: 'History is written by the victors.'
. '.the will of a single man.'
.: In the Rio missions, the TF141 who wear Kevlar vests are only slightly more durable than the gangsters, who wear soccer t-shirts. Averted by the, who are just as durable as their hulking appearance,. Same goes for the Op For and Militia forces in multiplayer - despite a number of character models being unarmored, they are just as durable as their armored foes or allies (that is, not very).: Modern infantry armor, while it will generally work against pistol rounds and shotgun pellets, is not going to reliably stop rounds from anything that is of at least assault rifle caliber. Now if the operators had hard armor with ballistic inserts, then they might survive rifle shots. Averted in Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer, where Ballistic Vests are one of the killstreak rewards you can earn. They essentially double the number of hits your character can take before dying, which makes a noticeable difference in a firefight.: In Modern Warfare 2, when Task Force 141 is assaulting the Russian gulag, they get F-15s to soften up the landing sites first. F-15s are only used by the Air Force, not the Navy, and they're air superiority fighters.
The Strike Eagle variant can act as a Wild Weasel (plane that neutralizes air defenses), but it would have made more sense to use the F/A-18 Hornet/Super Hornet, or given the setting, the F-35, both of which can launch from carriers, and are multirole fighters, so they would have been better suited for what those Eagles were doing.: Captain 'Soap' MacTavish in MW 2. Captain McMillian in Modern Warfare 1. Not even breaking a leg when a helicopter falls on him can kill him. Or even lower his sniping accuracy. And also Modern Warfare 2's, General Shepherd, who in the game's finale nearly kills Soap and manages to beat Price in hand-to-hand combat, nevermind the fact that Shepherd had just been in a and is able to stand, let alone put up a fight. Averted with Imran Zakhaev, the of Modern Warfare.
Despite surviving the loss of his arm in an earlier mission, in the final confrontation he goes down just as easily as any of his soldiers. Averted with (newly-assumed leader of an ) and Victor Zakhaev (son of the and commander of the Russian Ultranationalist forces) as well. Al-Asad is captured as soon as you enter his safehouse, and is shot in the head after Captain Price him.
At the end of 'Sins of the Father,' you corner Victor Zakhaev on a rooftop. Price and his absolute inability to die throughout MW 1 (or due to being shot in the head aboard the Tirpitz during, for that matter). This carries over to Captain MacTavish in MW 2.: A lot of the real world carriers make it into the game like the BTR, BMP, M2 Bradley and Humvee.: Kamarov and Griffen.: Sure, by the end of Modern Warfare 2, Soap and Price have killed Shepherd, but that doesn't change the fact that his has already succeeded. If MW3's leaked plot is any indication, Makarov was also able to escape Shepherd's men in MW2's ending and causes more havoc amongst both the Russians and Americans in MW3.: Soap, Price, Gaz, Griggs, Jackson, Vasquez, Roach, Ghost, Ramirez, Sgt. Foley, Dunn, Sandman, Truck, Grinch, Frost, Yuri.basically the entire main cast.: Price, Gaz, And arguably Sandman.: Several, but Task Force 141 arguably plays the trope the straightest.: Shepherd and Price, of course.
Sandman.: Most levels start you off with whatever weapons the game designers want you to have, even if you ended the previous level with a different loadout and there was no time or reason to change. 'Takedown' - 'The Hornet's Nest' is the most obvious example.
There are a only a few levels where your loadout carries over. A particularly example is near the end of 'Loose Ends.' No matter what weapon you had before getting knocked off your feet by a mortar, you'll have Ghost's AK-47 given to you by the end of the mission. Not that it helps.
Averted in the first Modern Warfare levels 'Ultimatum' - 'All In' - 'No Fighting in the War Room'. 'All Ghillied Up' - 'One Shot, One Kill' as well, though only a few weapons will carry over; anything else turns into an AK-47.: Modern Warfare 2 was banned for a while, though the game is now available (apparently with some cut content), including from Russia's biggest online retailer, Ozon.ru.: Soap and Price. Ghost and Roach from Modern Warfare 2.
Arguably Sandman and Price in the third game.: The famous line ' Fifty thousand people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town.' Was not spoken by MacMillan. It was actually spoken by Gaz in the intro. MacMillan's line in the game is ' Fifty thousand people used to live in this city. Now it's a ghost town. I've never seen anything like it.'
. Oddly, MacMillan DOES say that line in the Wii port of the first game.
There's a form of this in-series: part of Zakhaev's speech from 'Ultimatum' in 1 is reproduced in the introduction for 2 - 'My son's blood, on their hands.' The original speech didn't include the word 'son'.: Imran Zakhaev in Modern Warfare.
Vladimir Makarov in Modern Warfare 2 seems to be this, but he is revealed to be piece in Shepherd's plan. He's the true villain of Modern Warfare 3, though.: Gaz and Ghost both get one in their respective games, and Price gets a worthy one when Soap dies.: In the airport level, a poster with a picture of an aircraft and the word 'Mukha' in Cyrillic letters. This word means 'fly' as in 'small and extremely common insect.'
If you are feeling charitable this could be seen as a inside joke; if you are not, then it is a. Which is peculiar, as other Russian texts are done quite right. Enemy chatter is delivered in original languages (Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese). There are also some sentences uttered by Kamarov's men in Blackout mission in the first game.
In addition, the drunk Russian in 'Crew Expendable' says 'Drink to health, Captain!' Right before you shoot him. And Nikolai drops a at Makarov's and Shepherd's goons in 'The Enemy of My Enemy'. In Russian, of course. All the French from the Paris mission in Modern Warfare 3 is more than convincing.
As is the German from 'Scorched Earth'.: The third game. Makarov has finally paid for what he's done and the war's come to an end, but nearly everyone who worked to get that far, including Soap and Yuri, are dead, and the world still had to fight a war in which millions of people died, essentially, for nothing. London is devastated in the chemical attacks and most of the European capitals suffered a similar fate.:.: Your enemies are monsters, there is no question about that. That said, you and your team members sometimes resort to.
Less than savory methods of dealing with antagonists. Such as tying Rojas to a telephone pole so his enemies can find and kill him, only after torturing his assistant with a car battery. When Price contacts Makarov under the premise that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend,' he's essentially letting him off the hook for the time being. Although its not as if he could have gotten to Makarov at the time he made the offer anyway.
The only concession Price made to Makarov was that he'd try to kill Shepherd first. Also in 3 Yuri, Soap and Price track down a man who knows the whereabouts of Makarov's bomb-maker, Price sets off a can of nerve gas in the room and makes a deal to give him a mask if he gives them the information. After all the information is given Price hands him the mask, only to shoot him in the head with his pistol saying, 'This is for the boys at Hereford.' .:.
Many of the levels start with a quick helicopter ride to the starting area. It's possible to shoot, but doing so is a waste of ammo so you're pretty clearly just supposed to kick back and hum The Ride Of The Valkyries. In Modern Warfare's 'The Coup', when Al-Fulani is driven through the streets of the city to his execution. Continues in Modern Warfare 2, when the game opens with the player at an American base in Afghanistan, where he trains some local militia, runs an obstacle course, and can walk around and observe the other soldiers.: The Japanese version has multiple translation issues, especially the eponymous line in 'No Russian'. Instead of being translated to the Japanese equivalent of 'Do not speak any Russian,' it ended up as 'Kill the Russians.' .: Flashbang grenades, the resident.: In Modern Warfare 3: Sandman and the rest of the delta team stay behind to allow the others to escape, fending off a large amount of soldiers.
To make matters worse, the diamond mine collapses on them.: Roach's story begins and with someone tossing a lit cigar. (Soap tosses one at the start of 'Cliffhanger' and at the end of '). The first time the Modern Warfare version of Price is seen going into action, he is smoking a cigar. After he kills Makarov, he smokes a cigar.
To a lesser extent, the same music plays during the starting and penultimate mission briefings. The starting and ending briefings also feature a short.
Captain Price's is even a response to General Shepherd's.: In MW2's multiplayer, the voiceover alerts for an incoming enemy AC130 are rather. With the exception of Task Force 141 (voice of Ghost). Notably the Spetsnaz announcer who seems to lose it on finding out.
Oddly enough, the Spetsnaz announcer is rather calm when a friendly nuke is called in.: In MW 2, The 'No Russian' level, even though you are heavily armed the game prevents you from trying to thwart the terrorist attack by giving you a game over and telling you that you must go along with the massacre should you try and shoot the terrorists. The politically correct German version, however, turns this into 'But Thou Must Not' by NOT allowing you to shoot civilians despite this of the level (you get a for that). Considering that you still can't shoot your 'allies,' there's nothing much to do for you throughout the first half of the level, except perhaps shooting the skylights for the particle effects. Also, thou must reach the top of the White House to prevent the bombing run, even though when you get there there's already at least four other soldiers signaling, one from the same position as you, and Ramirez doesn't have any further role in the plot.
So you could have died anywhere along the way and achieved the same result.: The United States of America. As a result of. Less-than-ethical (and intelligent) decisions ( as well as being framed by Russian ultranationalists into looking as if they supported a horrific terrorist attack) they wind up being painted as the Bad Guy by the rest of the world. Let's be fair: Shepherd doesn't give two craps about anything less than his own personal satisfaction over accomplishing his goals. People will die, civilizations will crumble, and injustices will be committed so long as Makarov is made to pay for the events of Call of Duty 4. If the United States has to become the enemy of every armed force on the planet, that's an acceptable sacrifice.: Many of them in Modern Warfare 2:. Sneaking through the snow with Soap in 'Cliffhanger' homages the level 'All Ghillied Up' from the previous game, but the true call back comes in 'Contingency,' in which Roach and Price sneak around sniping soldiers and dogs.
Price even says the dogs are nothing compared to the ones in Pripyat. That in itself is a shoutout to the fanbase, with whom the dogs had a rather. Tenuous relationship in Call of Duty 4. Soap: I hate dogs.
Price's lines during this level also reference many of Captain MacMillan's in 'All Ghillied Up.' Specifically 'Don't do anything stu-pid', 'gooooodnight'. And 'this one's mine.'
. Modern Warfare 2 s final level is one huge homage to Call of Duty 4s final level. Both have 'game' in the title (' and 'Endgame'), both involve a vehicular chase (in CoD4, the player is being chased in a truck; in MW 2, the player is doing the chasing in a boat); both involve said vehicle being destroyed and the player ( Soap in both levels) being wounded, and then even more badly injured; and both involve Soap desperately using an emergency weapon (pistol in CoD4, knife in MW2) to kill the before he kills Price. MW 2's Ghost is a callback to Gaz from MW 1. He's voiced by the same actor, you never see his face behind his skull and his name is 'Ghost'.
Once you rescue Price from the Gulag, Soap immediately hands over his M1911. 'This belongs to you, sir.' . And then said M1911 is given back to Soap after his death in MW3.
After Makarov orders the nuclear bombing of Al-Asad's capital in a flashback, Yuri comments 'This wasn't war, this was madness.' Which is a virtual callback to Chernov's line 'This is not war. This is murder!'
In World at War. Price's conversation with Baseplate/MacMillan in MW3 is a callback all the way to the first mission (chronologically) in the entire Modern Warfare franchise, 'All Ghillied Up/One Shot, One Kill'. Price: It was Makarov. The bastard slipped through my fingers in Sierra Leone. What does MI-6 know? Baseplate: (sighs) You're on everyone's shit-list, John. There's no way I could get you clearance.
Price: Don't give me that! You still owe me for Pripyiat. I'm calling it in. Soap's field journal in the MW3 Hardened Edition reveals Price's race horse is called.
The family briefly seen in England is named Davis, the same as 2's British. In the first SAS mission in MW3, you have two invulnerable NPCs with you: Wallcroft and Griffin. If these two names have an inkling of familiarity to them, they were part of the assault team in the first SAS mission in Call of Duty 4, and they were also generic names for British soldiers in Call of Duty 2.
Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer map 'Wasteland' has an identical layout to that of Call of Duty 2 s 'Brecourt' map, combined with the general appearance and atmosphere of Modern Warfare 1s Chernobyl missions.: In spades. 2 had the largest first-day gross in entertainment history. Not just video games - all of entertainment, including movies and music.
Which was then beaten. Then that record was beaten by Modern Warfare 3, which managed to smash MW2's record by over a hundred million dollars. Say what you like about the quality of the games, they certainly can sell them.
The developers certainly said they would want to continuously make more games even after Modern Warfare 3 in a live interview.: Normally, the extraction copter has a squad of soldiers inside it that immediately pours out and begins shooting anything that moves. This is normally when you're in a tight spot, as in the second part of the Pripyat sniping mission in Modern Warfare. Also played straight by Nikolai in Modern Warfare 2 when he saves Soap and Price three times, first in Brazil, again in the boneyard and once more after Shepherd's death.: General Shepherd and Shadow Company.: Various times in 2's multiplayer. For example, Commando Pro allows you to take no falling damage and is earned by kniving enough people. France is merely one of the many European countries the US comes to the aid to. You fight alongside. Also while Delta ultimately take Volk down, the GIGN were the ones who found him.
![]()
France is also one of the countries NATO manages to hold onto; Germany, meanwhile, is clearly falling. GIGN troops are also a support option in Survival, and are extremely durable and more than able to hold their own against anything short of a Juggernaut.: In MW2, the much advertised knife-throwing feature of multiplayer is what Soap uses to kill the. Also, the wall climbing with icepicks that you learn in the first mission as Roach is reused to crawl on the ground by Soap in the final mission of the game.: MW 2's General Shepherd appears to have been outmaneuvered when his deep cover agent is used by Makarov to frame America and set off a war. And then it turns out Makarov was playing into his hands, and Shepherd is using the resultant chaos to cover his tracks. Arguably, Makarov was hired by Shepherd to kill Allen and precipitate an invasion of the US by Russia.
He certainly seems to think it would happen at the end. Arguably, the entire series focuses on Price and his efforts to outmaneuver the of each game.
Although he's not the one to finish off Zakhaev or Shepherd, it's only because of his intervention that Soap manages to kill either. His Makarov, however, dies by Price's own hand.: The beginning of 'Cliffhanger' from Modern Warfare 2.: Nikolai gives one, to Makarov's men and Shadow Company in The Enemy of My Enemy. Nikolai: Holy shit!
No, I'm really not paid enough for this job! The missiles alone cost so much!
MacMillan in Modern Warfare, though he is also brilliantly ironic and averts this when it comes time to high-tail it out of the sniping position.: Deathstreaks. Much like it sounds, it's a bonus given to players who're doing particularly bad. If they die multiple times in a row without ever getting a kill, the game will give them a buff of some sort (such as increased health or dropping a grenade upon death) to help them out.: Grenade spam. It's not uncommon to have more aim bot assisted frags used than actual bullets, more than the soldiers could possibly carry.: When the team first rescues Price, the first thing Soap does is hand him back the pistol he used to kill Zakhaev at the end of the first game. And in MW3, Price places it upon Soap's body in tribute after he dies.
A subtle example in the third game: Baseplate is Captain MacMillan from MW1. At one point, Price says, 'You still owe me for Pripyat.' .
Another subtle example in the third game: the briefing/loading video for the level 'Back on the Grid' ends by showing a series of photos of people affiliated with Makarov. Among the photographed people is Lev Kravchenko, from., one of the buildings in that level is taken directly from a multiplayer map from Call of Duty 4.: The level 'The Coup' in Modern Warfare. And the 'Aftermath' level, where you get to control the dying American protagonist after the nuclear explosion, as well as the sequence near the end of the game, at least until Price throws you a pistol. The ending sequence in Modern Warfare 2 has your character watching Shepherd brutally beating Captain Price in hand to hand combat, with you not being able to help because of a rather large knife in your chest. At least, until you realize that you have a rather large knife in arm's reach.
And a bit before that, you get to see through the eyes of the mortally wounded Roach, Ghost being killed, and being burned alive after Shepherd has their bodies tossed in a ditch and doused in gasoline. And being an astronaut witnessing a nuclear and getting literally blown away by it. Even if you survive the force of the blast, you're dead from the big panel that you can see hurtling towards you before the screen goes black. Played with in 3. As Yuri, you're behind Makarov as he guns his way through the airport, just after shooting Yuri in the stomach for betraying him.
You can try to shoot Makarov with a security guard's pistol, but Yuri will miss every time, and eventually pass out from his injuries. Again in 3: the player controls a dad using a camcorder, recording his vacation in London with his family and unexpectedly getting caught in a nerve gas attack.' .: Obviously.: Modern Warfare 2 featured 'Spec Ops' missions, which can be played alone, or with a friend. A few require a buddy (such as one that places one player into a vehicle, like an AC-130 or a Black Hawk). Modern Warfare 3 allows Spec Ops to make its return, this time with online play even with people you don't know. In addition to the regular Mission Mode, there is also Survival Mode, with a ranking and unlock system similar to the multiplayer.: Doubly Subverted At the end of 'Game Over' Soap can see a soldier start CPR on Price. Soap apparently blacks out, and the soldier is now pounding on Price's chest in an attempt to revive him.
The game ends giving you the impression that it fails however. Modern Warfare 2 reveals that Price is alive, meaning it did revive him; but it should be noted that it is unclear how long it took, or what Price's condition upon being revived was.
Aside from multiple nuclear detonations and an army of West-hating psychopaths in control of Russia, there's also more subtle indicators of just how screwed up MW-Earth is, like how even private terrorists have access to large amounts of heavy-duty military hardware, and the sheer size of the favela gangs in Rio leaves you wondering just how bad things are down there. To illustrate this, in the Chernobyl missions, the then-obscure group of Russian mercenaries are equipped with BMPs, attack helicopters and at least one T-72.
And what were they doing there? They were selling nuclear material. They mentioned how a lot of it was unintentionally similar to real life. Jesse Stern said 'We also talked about how terrorists operate in the modern era. We played around with situations where we had heavily armed terrorists carrying machine guns and explosives - shortly after this, the terror attacks took place in Mumbai.
That was really scary. We actually sent out e-mails saying, 'All right, let's take a little break, and stop talking about these horrific things,' because it felt like it was hitting a little too close to home. '.
Lampshaded sarcastically by Gaz: 'Good news first, the world's in great shape.' .: In 'Heat': 6 SAS operatives vs. An army of angry Ultranationalists. The SAS lost a man from tank fire. The Ultranationalists lost several hundred men, five tanks and eight helicopters.
The Ultranationalist leaders, unsurprisingly, were pissed. The first part of the last level in MW3. Dozens of guards in suits with pistols against two men In juggernaut suits with belt-fed machine guns.: General Shepherd from Modern Warfare 2 is a quicktime event variety. Also Makarov in MW3.: Zakhaev hated the Americans and Britons for ruining his country, so he started a terrorist campaign against them.
They blew his arm off. He assisted Al-Asad, who also thought the Americans weakened his country, in the violent coup of his country and gave him a nuke.
The Americans Marines invaded the country and defeated Al-Asad's army. He detonated the nuke that killed thousands of them. The SAS tracked down, interrogated, and executed Al-Asad.
![]()
Zakhaev sent an army to kill them, they killed the army. They tried to use his son against him, who committed suicide. He launched more nukes at them and when that failed, killed whoever he could.
Soap killed him for that. Now Makarov and the whole Russia hated Americans for it, complete with Makarov revealing photos of three SAS troopers and a US Marine involved in his death. Also, Shepherd hates the Ultranationalists for killing 30,000 of his men. The subsequent Russian-American War results in thousands of civilian deaths on both sides (though more on the Americans'). Soap and Price kill Shepherd in retaliation. But someone else will surely pick up the command of the American forces, now targeting both the Russians and them too. Well, at least Makarov's dead now, and the war is over.
The Russian President and the American President both advocate peace as well; and states that the generals and politicians who allied with Makarov were arrested, the Loyalists were welcomed back into Russia, and relationships between Russia and the US/NATO finally evolved into peace. Hopefully this will finally end the cycle.: A lot of them in Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2.: Modern Warfare was a version of the rest of the, while World at War went down the route for World War II with the Pacific Campaign, as well as a very graphic take on the Eastern Front. Modern Warfare 2 took it further, what with becoming a war zone, with the White House taken over and the infamous playable 'terrorist' level. The were not amused. It makes a comeback in 3 when you play a dad on vacation with his family, filming your little daughter.
Suddenly, a truck parks near where your daughter was playing and detonates, releasing a chemical agent all over the city.: Com-fucking-mando (Pro).: Subverted with Zakhaev's assassination attempt. Turns out, 'shock and blood loss' didn't take care of him as expected.: The levels and most of Shock and Awe in Modern Warfare 1, as well as the gameplay moments where you can call in airstrikes and/or artillery barrages. A selectable 25 in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer drops a tac nuke, winning the game for whoever achieved the streak, regardless of score. That is, if you have it.
Other kill streak rewards do this to a lesser degree by calling in Predator UAVs with missiles, Harrier Jets, helicopters or an AC-130 'Spectre' Gunship. One of the Spec Ops levels in 2 involves one player as a Blackhawk door gunner clearing a path for a 2nd player on the ground, and another is basically the first game's Death From Above with the second player taking the place of the SAS team. However, in both cases the player on the ground is no more durable than he normally would be, and friendly fire is not disabled. The Iron Lady mission in Modern Warfare 3.: Modern Warfare frequently has the enemies constantly throwing grenades at you on. Averted in Modern Warfare 2, although now they sometimes resort to flashbang grenades instead.
None of the playable characters that die in the series ever get a meaningful last moment with their friends or a heartfelt speech. Jackson gets blown up by a nuke and is left all alone in a ruined city to die in agony making all of his accomplishments meaningless. Roach is shot in the gut by his commanding officer Shepherd and burned to death. Soap probably the closet thing to a main protagonist in the whole series bleeds out after an explosion and doesn't get to say any meaningful last words as his friends desperately try and fail to keep him alive. played somewhat straight in the level 'Down The Rabbit Hole.' Where Sandman and his team all sacrifice themselves to allow Price and Yuri to escape with the Russian President.: Soap, who doesn't let having just gone over a frickin' waterfall or being stabbed stop him when he's after Shepherd; even after the aforementioned stabbing, Soap still pulls himself across the ground toward a gun while Shepherd and Price duke it out. When the gun is kicked away, Soap resorts to pulling the knife out of his gut and throwing it into Shepherd's head.
Although it isn't pointed out directly, Yuri was gutshot by Makarov four days before he shows up as the playable character in MW3. The US military during the battle of. One of the most memorable lines is.
Foley: after the helicopter is hit by a missile Take us up! If we're going down, we're taking those SAM sites with us!.
Captain Price in Modern Warfare 3, who will stop at nothing to hunt down Makarov. Special mention has to go to Makarov, who survives being shot dead center in the chest three times and then being strangled. It's only once he gets tossed down a glass ceiling and hung by a zipline does he finally die, and spends a good thirty seconds flailing when the force should have broken his neck.: The South American arms dealer that Task Force 141 chases in Rio is known to the men as 'Alex the Red'. This is said by Shepherd after he dramatically gives the man's real name as 'Alejandro Rojas,' which, in English, means.' . Doubles as an.: Played straight and averted at the same time in the 3rd game when Yuri got punched down a staircase by Price. Yuri obviously did not expect Price to punch him or else it would not have worked so simply.
The player, however, probably saw it coming from a mile away, not just because Soap planted the seeds of doubt about Yuri within Price moments earlier but because.: For all of his showboating and grand speeches about a new era to lead his country, Al-Asad proves himself to be a coward among cowards. It probably doesn't help that he was little more than a pawn of the Ultranationalists, as he wasn't even the one who ordered the nuclear detonation.: In 'Hunted', both pilots are always killed, though most of your squad survives.: The Russians want a thousand dead Americans for every civilian killed in the airport attack. Thankfully this isn't literal. In the third game, a tank commander sticks his head out of his hatch to discuss strategy with a supporting infantry squad and is killed by a sniper round. The tank's gunner spots the sniper and returns fire.
Actually he was only injured by the sniper thus making this even more disproportionate.: Modern Warfare ends with most of the SAS/USMC joint task force dead and the Ultranationalist leader taken out, but as Modern Warfare 2 shows, that just makes things worse. Modern Warfare 2: Yes, you stopped Shepherd, but Task Force 141 has been destroyed, Price and Soap are internationally wanted fugitives for 'treason' - despite having done nothing against their home country - along with 'global terror' and 'violent acts against the government', the East Coast and Washington in particular are devastated, the US is going to war with Russia without a commander (the SECDEF having given Shepherd 'a blank check'), Makarov is still on the loose, and as noted on, Shepherd already won even in death.
There is a bit of a high note, though: Shepherd was presumably going to use his hero status and unlimited budget to perform unilateral military actions across the globe (as evidenced by his very well equipped 'Shadow Company'). Even if he ends up a martyr, his death prevented his plan from going any further. Price and Soap are still alive, and as Price admitted, the key was both for Shepherd to die and for them to live. And, if nothing else, at least Shepherd would not live to see his dream carried out in full.
Price acts like this towards Soap in the prologue, but this attitude doesn't survive the first mission where he. While Price quickly drops the attitude once the real mission starts, e.
Ozone was an soldier and member of featured in. Biography Task Force 141 Ozone's primary appearance in the game is as part of the team that raids 's safe house in '. Along with, and, he survives the initial ambush and moves to breach and clear the safe house. The player can choose between one of three breaching points around the house; Ozone places himself at the main floor's side-door deck entrance. While protecting the safe house from enemy forces, Ozone guards the basement entrance from the outside. However, he may or may not be killed in the subsequent fighting, as he is not scripted to die, but is not invincible either.
It is very hard to keep him alive in this initial position due to the open area in which he is located. Enemies will flank him from behind him and the side, outnumbering him significantly.
He will only survive the first position if the player assists him but he may still die even if the player protects him. Once alerts the team to another wave of enemies approaching from the opposite side of the house, Ozone will relocate inside and hold off enemy forces from the front windows. He will stay in this position until the DSM finishes downloading. While he can still be killed at this point, it is much more rare due to the amount of cover he has. If he is still alive when the DSM finishes downloading, Ozone will follow Ghost, Roach, and (if still alive) Scarecrow to the extraction point.
Eventually he will be killed, either by being overwhelmed by enemy forces, a mortar strike, or an unseen sniper.
