Campaigns Synopsis Edit

Call of Duty Edit

This first Call of Duty gamestarts out with you in the role of Private Martin.

The trio are then tasked with infiltrating the German Battleship Tirpitz, destroying engines and communication equipment and stealing the ship's naval logs. During this course of action Cpt. Price is overwhelmed and killed while defending a hallway.

Finally, you participate as a Soviet conscript Alexei Ivanovich Voronin. You start as a Private but are promoted to Sergeant later.

Call of Duty 3 Edit

The American missions focus on the eventually capture of the Falaise Gap and Chambois. You start in Saint Lo where the Germans and the Americans are engaged in heavy fighting. Polish and Canadian troops force the Germans to Chambois where they are later encircled.

The British Campaign haves you assume control of Sgt. Doyle from United Offensive, where you parachute in France with Major Ingram to help the French Resistance sabotage German positions. Ingram is presumed dead but in reality is captured. The French and Doyle infiltrate a town in order to rescue him. One of the French Resistance leaders is Isabelle DuFontaine.

Call of Duty: Roads to Victory Edit

The player assumes the role of the Americans, Canadians and the British in several operations in over 14 missions.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Edit

This page contains major spoilers. In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the classic World War II scenario is abandoned and brought to the modern times. The player will play as "Soap" Mactavish, working in the 22nd regiment under Captain John Price and Gaz, who's rank is unknown (he is higher than Soap but lower than Price). The SAS works throughout the campaign searching for leads on the two antagonists in the game, OpFor leader Khaled Al-Asad and Ultranationlist leader Imran Zakhaev.

The secondary protagonist is US Marine Sgt. Paul Jackson stationed in Middle Eastern operations to hunt down Al-Asad and also save a friendly tank in a bog. Jackson, along with 30000 other Marines in his unit die by Al-Asad's nuclear explosion. Captain Price and his squad are left to kill Al-Asad in his safehouse, avenge the dead Marines, and find out about Imran Zakhaev.

Two special levels appear in-game when Captain Price and his crew await extraction in Al-Asad's safehouse. Price tells his men about the time in 1996 where he and his partner Captain MacMillan make their way to an abandoned building where they try to kill Imran Zakhaev as part of an assignment in Prypiat, Ukraine.

The last levels of the game is where Soap, Price, and Gaz save a new team member from Russians (SSgt. Griggs), fight their way to a ICBM missile silo owned by Zakhaev, and finally stop the missiles from destroying the east coast of the US and put a shocked Zakhaev on the run.

In the last mission, Game Over, the team make one last effort to kill Zakhaev. After a hardcore truck-to-truck fight and a missile firing helicopter encounter, Bravo Six makes their last stand on a bridge with no possible reinforcements. Griggs and Gaz are killed, but Price quickly slides his M1911 to Soap. Soap dramatically kills Zakhaev and gets extracted by a Loyalist team led by Kamarov, who assisted the team in Blackout.
