As the war seemingly comes to a close, Task Force 141 makes a desperate and dangerous attempt to capture Vladimir Makarov once and for all. Lt. Simon “Ghost” Riley and Sgt. Gary “Roach” Sanderson assault his safehouse in Russia and Cpt. John Price and Cpt. John “Soap” Mactavish attempt to ambush him in an airplane graveyard in Afghanistan; unfortunately, neither one of which contains Vladimir Makarov. With high value intel (and one less loose end) in sight, both teams collect the information they need and make another desperate attempt for extraction.
