- "We CANNOT lose New York!"
- — Overlord
The Battle of New York was the last major battle fought in the United States of World War III, taking place after the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and during the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It is also part of the Russo-American War. Russian forces on the East Coast have been scattered by the US Armed Forces, forcing the Russians to make their last stand in the United States in New York City, where heavy fighting occurred as the Russians attempted to consolidate their hold onto the East Coast.

After the Battle of Washington D.C., U.S. forces had retaken most of the Eastern Seaboard, and had pushed the remaining Russian forces back into New York City. However, they were unable to take the city because of Russian jamming platforms, which neutralized American air support and communications, enabling the Russians to hold the city. As the battles raged, much of the city was damaged and the Russians managed to take control of South Manhattan and Midtown. Several passages into the city including the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel were destroyed and rendered inaccessible, killing many civilians in the process. The Russian Navy also had full control of the Hudson River, with several American naval vessels including the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz sunk in battle against the Russians. With the U.S. Army rapidly losing ground in the city, a desperate counterattack was launched to deny the Russians their strategic advantage.
BattleEdit
In New York, the U.S. Armed Forces have been attempting to take the Russian military's last stronghold in Manhattan, but the Russians quickly set up a large jammer on top of the New York Stock Exchange, blocking all American radio signals and missile guidance systems, which in turn enabled them to gain air superiority in the city. Overlord assigned a Delta Force team, callsign Metal, to take out the jamming tower on the NYSE in order to regain air support to destroy all enemy targets. After U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force attacked Wall Street and successfully dismantled the jammer, several F-15 Eagles flew in and were able to destroy enemy positions in the city, regaining air superiority and reestablishing control the city, The remaining Russian forces were then forced back to the very edge of the city's waters.
A Russian Oscar II submarine, which was the Russians' command vessel, had orders to level the Eastern Seaboard with its payload of cruise missiles if the Russians were forced back into the sea. Overlord quickly took action by deploying U.S. Navy SEALs and Team Metal to take control of the submarine and use its payload against the Russian Fleet still in the harbor. After fighting for and taking control of the submarine, Sandman and Frost input the coordinates provided by Overlord and fired the missiles, which hit the enemy fleet, destroying any large Russian threat remaining in the city and its vicinity. With their last stronghold on American soil destroyed, the Russian forces are forced to retreat back to Russia.
End of the BattleEdit
- "All-friendly call-signs - we are no longer on the defensive. I repeat - consolidate and counterattack."
- — Overlord
With the jamming sensor destroyed atop of the New York Stock Exchange along with other jamming sensors scattered around Manhattan, and the destruction of several Russian warships in the harbor by the hijacked Oscar-II submarine, US forces regrouped and began to push Russian forces out of Manhattan and the Eastern Coast, eventually forcing the Russian Army to retreat from the United States.
New York City itself suffered heavily from the battle, with much of South Manhattan and its boroughs in ruins. However, the majority of the city survived, as did most of its major landmarks in spite of the intensity of the prolonged engagement.
AftermathEdit
Two months after the battle ended, Boris Vorshevsky agreed to negotiate a peace treaty with the United States to end the war (which, at the time, had not yet escalated into World War III). However, as the President was later taken hostage by Vladimir Makarov, the war would soon spread to all of Europe.
By the time the Russians retreated, the U.S. had begun estimates of civilian casualties as a result of the entire East Coast Invasion. They estimated approximately 73,315 Dead, 23,052 Missing. (As seen in the briefing for "Persona Non Grata".)

TriviaEdit
- Along with Delta Force, other U.S. units seen participating in the battle are the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, U.S. Army Green Berets, U.S. National Guard, and New York Police Department units. The 75th is notable, for being the Regiment of James Ramirez, one of the playable Americans from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
- This is the second portrayed battle to take place in an American city after the invasion of Washington, D.C. in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in the Call of Duty series.
- This is the last battle to take place on American soil.
- It is unknown as to why electronic devices work during this battle, considering that during the events of Modern Warfare 2, an EMP blacked out the East Coast, New York included (though Florida and small pockets of Georgia were unaffected, and a small part of southeastern Canada was affected). However, considering that neither side has the same outfits or versions of weaponry used in the second game present, it is most likely that new forces had been introduced into the fighting.
- The World Trade Center (post-9/11) can be seen in this. It was seen in the trailer, and the events of New York in chaos caused many who viewed the trailer as offensive, possibly because it referred to the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks. However, none of the WTC buildings had any noticeable or major damages, as no fire, holes in walls, or even broken windows were seen.
