Find Makarov: Operation Kingfish 2011

John Soap MacTavish sits at a table, loading a STANAG magazine; General Shepherd visits him, asking Soap what happened during his mission when he lost his superior officer, Captain David Kinsman Price.

In 2013, in the Karkonosze Mountains, Ukraine, a joint operation between Task Force 141 and the U.S. Delta Force leads an assault on a safe house owned by their target, “Kingfish.” [Captain Price], [Soap], [Ghost], [Roach], and other Task Force 141 operatives raid the compound while Sandman and Frost provide sniper support with the help of a friendly AC-130, callsign Spectre 6-4 (Mark Lepointe).

After Spectre clears the way for the Task Force, Soap’s team advances into the safehouse and kills all the remaining hostiles. Roach plants a breaching charge on a wall, with Ghost entering the room first and killing the soldiers inside. The team enters the room after clearing it of the enemy, where there are pictures of an Zakhaev International Airport and a Bravo Six team that had been sent in earlier.

Soap and Price discover that the picture of Bravo Six has their faces on it, realizing that “Kingfish” is targeting them before a C4 detonator beeps to destroy the room; however, they escape before the blast can kill them.

The mission was compromised, and the squad and Delta Force head to their extraction point pursued by enemy forces. While Spectre 6-4 provides covering fire for their escape, an enemy RPG fire destroys Spectre 6-4, leaving the Task Force to fend for themselves. A V-22 Osprey arrives for exfil, but an RPG explodes near Soap, knocking him down. Sandman and Roach drag Soap to the Osprey while Frost and Price rush to cover them. Price then orders the rest of the team to leave without him while he provides covering fire; Soap, however, refuses to leave him behind.

Back at the present, Soap demands that Shepherd tell him Kingfish’s true identity, Shepherd throws him a dossier with a picture of Vladimir Makarov, declaring “We’ll get him.” Soap then draws his combat knife and stabs the picture of Makarov.
