Alpha team is in the covian sea and they
are breaking into the gulag to
presumably free a dangerous individual
Alpha team is extremely organized and
takes down the prison security upon
reaching the lower level they find their
target prisoner 627 and it is revealed
to be Vladimir Makarov who is a Russian
Ultra Nationalist and one of the most
light all stations P ID on
is
Ivan who leads Alpha Team and the Connie
Group which are Russian pmc's under
makarov's control have a small
disagreement on the xfi plan which
causes them to lose valuable time but
ultimately they are able to make their
escape a few hours later news is out

out say again asell marov is out he's on
the move
we cut to ekhan and we see Farah and
Alex riding together to a ship port run
by a good friend of fah named Dena Alex
and Farah split Farah is headed to check
on some important cargo that she asked
Dena to secure in the car ride with Dena
it is revealed that ukhan finally knows
peace Dena asks Farah to please keep
that peace no matter what and just mere
we cut to pharah who is recovering from
the crash and we hear a familiar voice
over Communications it is Commander
Graves of the Shadow company who as we
learned in the events covered during war
zone didn't actually die and he has been
helping Farah and her Liberation forces
take out the Connie group now that Farah
has come to it is revealed through her
conversation with Graves that the cargo
located on the port are missiles the
Connie group in macarov are looking to
take those missiles for themselves Farah
heads over to put a tracker on the
missiles so they can retrieve them once
they are taken a little while later the
Connie group leave with the missiles and
Farah heads over to track them down
while Alex takes care of those killed at
the airport while this is happening we
cut to Vladimir he has arrived on a
military base in Russia and he is
greeted by an army of Connie forces and
Melena who is his financier Makarov
takes a moment to thank his army for the
rescue and for keeping a good reputation
while he was gone however he admits that
time is precious and certain things
won't be allowed he calls over the team
leader Ivan who he had a disagreement
with earlier and removes him as leader
doing Andre Nolan is now team leader of
the Connie group and macarov second in
command here we see how ruthless these
Russian pmc's are and how dangerous
Makarov is we cut to lwell in Task Force
141 with Farah's help they are able to
track down the missiles to an abandoned
nuclear plant located in urzikstan
Captain Price will infiltrate the
nuclear plant with ghost while soap and
gas secure the Outer Perimeter price
makes his way into the underground
tunnels where he meets up with Farah and
they locate the missiles but it has been
activated and will soon be launched
Farah informs price that it can no
longer be deactivated but it can be
enclosed in the underground tunnels and
explode there however she needs Captain
Price to head back to the surface to
close the blast doors and keep the
missiles inside price makes a run for it
and when he reaches the controls he is
able to close it just in time causing
the missiles to go off but without
hurting anyone phoh is also able to
escape the missile explosion however
price is informed that two missiles were
not able to be stopped and have now
launched they are heading to a Russian
military base the problem with this is
that lwell is in that base now and price
is contacting her to inform her to make an
escape 6 to Watcher 6 to Watcher
Watcher
K lastwell are you there
this is six in the blind we have two
missiles incoming to the arclo base they
have chemical Warheads if you are there
get out
ow Kate lwell is inside the Russian base
to speak to Yuri who is a commander in
the Russian army and he has Intel that
will be useful to lwell his purpose is
to show that Russia and the Kremlin are
not working with Makarov he is doing it
to protect his country from the ruthless
Ultra nationalist their conversation is
cut short when price reaches out to
lwell but she has everything she needs a
flash drive that she received from Yuri
the missiles hit the base and begin to
spread a toxic gas throughout lawell
makes a run for the roof where she is
taken to safety by Nikolai coming up now
Nick you here cing now people are dying
down there Hur is Jor with you negative
we split up he's a Survivor like you
rising I'm almost to you Nick the
lell I'm here lwell I won't leave
you you good yeah let's get out of here hold
on with news now being reported on the
attack in the military base located in
bans it is being reported that the
attack could have been by The zakhan
Liberation forces which is exactly what
Makarov wants the world to believe this
way he can ignite a war between Russia
urzikstan and the United States while
this is happening Makarov and some of
his soldiers infiltrate a flight from
Russia what comes next shows some of the
realities that have occurred in real
life and it may leave you with some
feelings of emptiness for this portion
of the video I believe my words will not
[Applause] air
Samar you exceeded my expectations

bomb let me go I need to
after the attack which killed 133
passengers and nine crew members it is
revealed that the Black Box on the plane
May shed light on who did this and
potentially the videos that may have
been recorded on the plane can expose
who was responsible now we know
makarov's play is to place the blame on
ukhan and Farah's Liberation forces this
leads Farah to head over to the crash
site and Destroy any evidence that May
point to her people being involved
because if the videos get out nobody
will believe that she wasn't involved
and that it was all makarov's doing she
takes Alex with her and is able to
destroy the black box and any footage
from the crash site the Connie group
were already there looking to extract
the videos but we're too late Farah and
Alex make an escape we cut the task
force one for one they have met up with
lwell and Nikolai to go over the footage
of Mao infiltrating the airport and they
talk about their next move but before
doing so price tells lwell the story

promise price has some regrets about not
letting soap finish the job with Makarov
but before he can draw to much on it
lwell receives a call from Shephard who
lets the task force know that he has
valuable Intel about makarov's next move
price gets angry as he does not trust
shepher and he betrayed them in the past
however when Commander grave shows up
next to Shephard in the video call soap
gets angry as well where are you getting
in without an army you got nothing wrong again
again
boys un [ __ ] believable so you missed
me well technically you did didn't you
lell if you're track in this let's call
an air strike ghost that is not nice
what you up to I'm up to doing my
[ __ ] job kid you should try it
sometime my [ __ ] job is to kill the
enemy guess what you are but they need
to keep it professional and concentrate
on Makarov at least for now Shephard
tells lasswell he is able to send her
information in exchange for a way back
in his own words the Intel that shepher
provided through the shadow company's
research is the location of Malena
Romanov the financier of Vladimir makov
she she is on a private island off of
the Mediterranean Sea soap and go
infiltrate this island and get past the
security they find Molen in her office
on the third floor soin goes question
her on the location of makro but she
does not budge until they threaten to
empty her personal bank account she
tells them that makov buys properties in
St Petersburg and they could potentially
find him there she also informs the team
that Makarov has sent 85 million to a
CIA black fund after this soap and
ghosts make their exit that's all I can
tell you
I see it that's all we
need pleasure doing business with
you good
chat when you beg him for your lives he
won't let you have [Music]
[Music] [Applause]
[Music]
them we cut back to Makarov who is
leaving STS Petersburg but is talking to
Andre Nolan his second in command here
we learned through their conversation
that a shadow is providing Intel to them
but he does not reveal who Andre will
stay in St Petersburg and stop any
trouble that comes by we find out later
that Captain Price and gas will be
infiltrating this compound in St
Petersburg their target to capture Andre
Nolan and extract any information they
can on marov after a hefty battle with
members of the Connie group Gaz and
price are able to capture and take Andre
for questioning while they have Andre
captive lwell infiltrates his phone and
his conversations with Makarov through
this they get a tip a apparently they
are delivering someone or something to
an abandoned Prison Complex in the snowy
mountains of Siberia Captain Price wants
the whole team together they will head
to Siberia quickly to intercept this
shipment price believes that moov will
be there the team head over to Siberia
to set up explosives underneath the ice
they blow up the convoys that are
passing through and look for Makarov
unfortunately macarov was not on the
transport but they were moving a
prisoner price takes the prisoner to
Shephard steon Jesus
Mavish the [ __ ] Captain [ __ ] is there a
single [ __ ] show that you are not a part
of ghost you seeing this in my sight
let's smoke him and call it a day six
who do you
have gold [ __ ] Eagle actually shepher
and the co flesh holy [ __ ] how he got
there and why he's being moved is a
mystery shepher tells price that he has
more tell on macro and he will tell them
everything if they get him out of
Siberia safely reluctantly the captain
agrees they move through the snow and
take out members of the Connie group as
they go they meet up with Farah and make
an escape with the help of Nikolai the
group meets with lwell who questions
Shepherd and gives him a choice or
really a command if he does not listen
they will leave Shepherd in the freezing
Snows of Siberia surely to die lwell
wants shepher to tell them everything he
knows and he wants him to tell the
United States Congress as well Farah
jumps in and tells Shepherd she also
wants her name cleared along with her
Liberation forces oh and one more thing
soap wants Graves on a leash Shepherd
agrees but lets Captain Price know that
if he gets screwed on this he will be
sorry what is the agenda of this little
powow a choice do I have one
no I'm all ears own up tell us
everything you know everything Congress
doesn't and I bet they' be old ears
wouldn't they I that's it no you clear
my name tell them who I am what you gave
me and why no one else had the balls to
do what I did for you for all of you
then do the right thing General all your
Intel on marov your boy gaves on a
leash say yes you get a warm ride home
or take a all me time and freeze the
death that's the one I'm partial to
keep the prisoner focused on their own
self-preservation and eventually they will
will
break good to see you remembered your
training eh
General you screw me on this
John and you'll be sorry you kept me [Music]
alive Shephard reveals that macarov is
looking to finish what he started in
berans years ago he has ordered the
Connie group to head to the Gora Dam at
nightfall and blow it up killing
thousands in bans and pinning the blame
on the west and ferah Liberation forces
ghost and soap are task with stopping
this from happening Alex and Farah along
with Captain Price and gas will head to
an air base nearby where Connie soldiers
have set up Commander Graves and his
shadows will help via air support ghost
is able to infiltrate the Gora Dam and
disarm all of the explosives after
killing a couple of Connie soldiers
Nikolai and soap arrive to extract him a
few hours later we see Farah and Alex
prepping for their assault on the air
base controlled by macarov however it is
believed that chemical weapons Makarov
planned on using are on that base the
goal here is to enter the base and find
those chemical weapons and Destroy them
Graves is supporting the team via air
support and after a hefty battle they
are able to clear out the cony soldiers
and deactivate the chemical weapons
however General Shephard believes that
makov is on his way to the air base to
personally stop the group from taking
his weapons Commander grave shoots down
that helicopter that macarov is set to
be on and blows up the remaining weapons
price and Shephard have a disagreement
after this Shephard believes 100% that
macarov was on that helicopter and is
now dead but price thinks that Shephard
just wants to claim marov is dead for
the press and to get points in
Washington they finish their
conversation and price gets his task for
ready as he is expecting the marov will
reappear very soon marov dead Captain
don't let him live inside your head
Shepherd only sees what he wants his
name on a win another medle on his chest
what do you
say it's what I don't see that worries
me if he's
alive he'll let us know where and when
[Music]
a couple days later there is a congress
hearing the board is questioning General
Shepard on some of the events that have
occurred in the previous years against
Vladimir macarov and his private Army
much has been said about the
Ulf a far kareim and her soldiers a
terror Organization no far kareim is and
always has been an ally to the United
States and our Western Partners in the
region how did uh Commander Kareem

force one for one who are preparing to
go home MI6 have relayed Intel to lwell
regarding marov the Connie group is now
in London and there have been
Communications between them and marov
affirming he is very much alive through
the Intel received it is believed that
the cony group will be meeting in
greensbury park with a hacker to receive
some sort of control the team move
quickly and intercept the conversation
which leads them into the train tunnels
underground Makarov wants to hijack the
trains underneath London and kill
thousands flash drive acquired whatever
was on it uploaded into the station's
train Network TR and horse con has
control of the trains there's more face
recognition found this they boarded 10
minutes minutes ago marov want to train
full of civilians hostages victims that
tun's 500 ft deep and 30 m long there's
thousands of people down there at any
given time bravel he's going to trap the
trains and destroy the tunnel we have no
proof of that not yet makarov's tranger
stopped at a crossover platform 20 m in
I'll have sfo's dispatch a second team
we need all the help we can get we'll
take the service tunnel let's move we
may already beat too
late the team must move quickly and they
spread out price and soap moved together
while gas and ghost entered through a
different tunnel the plan is to stop the
tunnels from exploding and to finally
kill maon as they make their way through
the tunnels price and so find a bomb
which soap stops to deactivate while
Captain Price holds off the Connie group
but soon they begin to get overwhelmed
price calls for Gaz and ghost to assist
they are making their way to the captain
