Line 31:
* [[Never Bareheaded]]: Price does not go anywhere without ''some'' kind of hat. Even in {{spoiler|the gulag}}, he has a nifty wool hat on, and after he {{spoiler|removes his bomb disposal suit, he's shown wearing his boonie hat underneath}}.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: {{spoiler|Ends up on the ''[[Oh Crap|receiving end]]'' of one of these, thanks to General Shepherd, and only survives thanks to some [[Eye Scream|timely intervention]] by Soap.}}
** {{spoiler|Unleashes one on Makarov at the end of ''Modern Warfare 3''.}}
* [[Not Quite Dead]]
* [[Porn Stache]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in Soap's field journal, where he frequently mentions it and calls it a "dick tickler".
* {{spoiler|[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: in ''Modern Warfare 2'''s ending.}}
** {{spoiler|Also, the end of ''Modern Warfare 3''. He seems to have a tendency for these...}}
Line 60:
* [[Protagonist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: In ''Modern Warfare 2'''s ending.}}
* [[Took a Level
** In MW3, the loading screen of "Stronghold" briefly shows a partial list of Soap's decorations. Among them is a ''Victoria Cross (pretty much the equivalent of the American Military's Medal of Honor)''.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: {{spoiler|Potentially verging on [[My Master, Right or Wrong]] by the end of the second game. Needless to say, he will follow Price to the ends of the Earth and beyond.}}
Line 85:
== Captain MacMillan ==
Price's former superior. He accompanied Price in {{spoiler|the assassination attempt on Zakhaev in Prypiat, Chernobyl}}. As of ''Modern Warfare 3'', {{spoiler|he becomes the head of the SAS}}.
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: {{spoiler|As mentioned above, he is head of the ''entire SAS'' in Modern Warfare 3.}}
* [[Badass]] [[Cold Sniper]]: He very much embodies this trope. At least before the escape.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Good]]: By Modern Warfare 3}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|Everything Sounds Sexier in Scottish]]: His Scottish accent has its own following.
* [[The Faceless]]: Due to wearing a ghillie suit.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: He IS personally nice to you, aside from when you decide to be a cocky dumbass, then any [[Jerkass]] behavoir from him is rather justified.
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: He never, ever misses. Not even after {{spoiler|his legs are broken by a falling helicopter gunship.}}
Line 96:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Despite {{spoiler|Price being a wanted terrorist}}, MacMillan is willing to listen to him and help, even supplying him with intel and equipment.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]] / [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: {{spoiler|Helps Price, even though he's a wanted terrorist. Considering their close relationship, though, it's likely he never believed his protege could turn evil.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level
* [[Unflinching Walk]]: Subverted. After shooting down a helicopter, he walks away saying ''"Good night ye bastards..."''. {{spoiler|Then the helicopter crashes on his legs.}}
* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: Being a [[Cold Sniper]], he's arguably a much calmer variation of the trope.
Line 112:
* [[Expy]]: Of Gaz and Ghost—it comes with the territory when you're voiced by Craig Fairbrass in a ''Modern Warfare'' game. Gets kinda weird when you realize that he actually ''knew'' Gaz, though.
* [[The Faceless]]: He's never seen without his gas mask. {{spoiler|It ends up saving his life.}}
* [[Mauve Shirt]]: He appears in Modern Warfare in one level and has maybe 3 lines. He returns, having [[Took a Level
* [[Rule of Three]]: Third character to be voiced by Craig Fairbrass. {{spoiler|Also the only one ''not'' to die horribly.}}
Line 134:
* {{spoiler|[[Decoy Protagonist]]}}
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* [[Player Character]]
== Staff Sergeant Griggs ==
Line 162:
** [[Bash Brothers]] (with Dunn/Foley)
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Ramirez deserves some kind of award for all the CRAP he takes during the course of the campaign.
* [[Cool Shades]] If it's really him on the cover of the box, then the man has some very slick sunglasses. He even wears them at night!
* [[Do Anything Soldier]]: Ramirez! [[Memetic Mutation|Do everything!]]
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* [[Player Character]]
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]
Line 179:
== Master Sergeant Sandman ==
Leader of the Delta Force unit "Metal" in ''Modern Warfare 3''. Commanding officer to player character Derek "Frost" Westbrook.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Elites Are More Glamorous]]: Delta Force, duh.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He stayed behind to cover Price, Yuri and the Russian President.}}
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: He's revealed to be an old friend of Price, whom he met back in 2013 when they, Ghost, and Soap embarked on Operation Kingfish, the first mission to find Makarov.
* [[Sergeant Rock]]: Well, ''Master'' Sergeant, to be precise, but you get the idea.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: {{spoiler|1=Captain Price is considered a terrorist in MW3. Sandman listens to his intel, and works with him to save the President. This is probably because they are old friends}}.
Line 204:
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Usually to [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Truck's quips]].
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: He wields ''dual Desert Eagles, aimed at different targets'' in the penultimate mission.
** Note that he is the only NPC to ever dual wield guns, and even the player characters can't shoot them in different directions.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Along with Sandman and Truck, he sacrifices himself in the collapsing mine to allow Price and Yuri to escape with President Vorshevsky.}}
* [[Southern-Fried Private]]
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Almost always carries the MK14.
== Sergeant 1st Class Truck ==
The fourth member of Team Metal, and usually the one with the least dialogue.
* [[Badass]]
* [[The Big Guy]]: Has shades of this, judging from his tendency to carry the Mk. 46 LMG, his callsign, and his deep voice.
Line 219:
'''Grinch''': No shit. }}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]:See Sandman and Grinch's entries.}}
* [[The Quiet One]]
* [[Token Minority]]
Line 240:
British soldier in Task Force 141, who prefers to wear a skull-faced ski mask. His face is never shown, and name is never stated in-game, though the tie-in comic centered on him revealed that it's Lt. Simon "Ghost" Riley. [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Has a suspiciously similar voice to Gaz.]]
* [[The Ace]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Bash Brothers]] (With Soap/Roach)
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Let's do this!"
Line 249:
** [[wikipedia:Modern Warfare 2: Ghost|Granted.]]
* [[The Faceless]]: Never seen without his trademark skull mask and sunglasses. ''Ever''. Except in the comic book.
* [[Freak-Out]]: {{spoiler|When the nuclear submarine's missile doors open and the missile launches. Justified, as he didn't know what Price was up to}}.
* [[Mask Power]]
* [[The Lancer]]: {{spoiler|Until Price shows up, then Soap becomes the Lancer}}.
Line 269:
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: To say he leads from the front is an understatement. He can be seen fighting alongside the Rangers in ''Team Player''. While carrying a [[Revolvers Are Just Better|.44 Magnum Revolver.]]
** {{spoiler|The whole Shadow company, though far more competent than other in-game enemies, failed to stop Price and Soap. Shepherd nearly takes them down in one-on-two combat, ''after surviving a helicopter crash.''}}
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: {{spoiler|Falls down a water fall after his helicopter crashes and explodes, but it doesn't seem to phase him. After this, he proceeds to beat two highly trained commandos who are much younger than him in hand to hand combat.}}
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* {{spoiler|[[Bald of Evil]]: Well, a rather obvious buzz cut.}}
Line 286:
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: He {{spoiler|eventually becomes a [[Complete Monster|monster himself]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Knight Templar]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Made of Iron]]: Soap and Price, two highly trained SAS agents, fall off a waterfall and end up barley being able to stand. Shepherd falls off a waterfall ''and'' gets blown up in a helicopter, and he's fine.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Motive Rant]]: A truly epic one after stabbing Soap}}.
{{quote|{{spoiler|Five years ago, [[Nuke'Em|I lost thirty thousand men in the blink of an eye]], and [[Apathetic Citizens|the world just]] [[Precision F-Strike|fuckin']] [[Apathetic Citizens|watched]]}}. But tomorrow, there will be no shortage of volunteers, no shortage of patriots. *[[Dramatic Gun Cock]]* I know you understand.<ref>cue [[Big Damn Heroes|Price]]</ref>}}
Line 311:
* [[Badass]] {{spoiler|Initially, until [[Deconstruction|''No Russian'']]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Decoy Protagonist]]}}
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Averted, though he only speaks in cutscenes.
* [[Player Character]]
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]] {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]].}}
* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: In the mission ''No Russian'', he is ordered to slaughter Russian civilians along with Makarov's men in order to prove himself as a member of the squad.
Line 318:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] {{spoiler|Being at the "No Russian" mission seems to be the reason for pretty much the entire plot of the second and third games.}}
* [[Reverse Mole]]: He's sent on an undercover mission to infiltrate Makarov's terrorist cell. {{spoiler|It does not end well.}}
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Representing the murderous nature of the players.
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]: ''No Russian''}}
Line 342:
* [[La Résistance]]: Heads up a force of Russian Loyalists that oppose the Ultranationalists.
* [[Reverse Mole]]
* [[True Companions]] Team: Part of a three-man one between Soap, Price, and himself.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: During the Second Russian Civil War, Price and Soap went deep behind enemy lines to walk him out of Hell. Five years later, he returned the favor.
Line 387:
Leader of the [[Qurac|unnamed Middle-eastern nation]] in the first ''[[Modern Warfare]]''.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: ''Brutally'' averted.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: He is explicitly called this by Nikolai after he {{spoiler|apparently nukes his own capital.}}
* [[Dying Like Animals]]: A cowardly chicken of the worst sort.
* {{spoiler|[[Co-Dragons]]: To Zakhaev, with Zakhaev's son}}
Line 395:
* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]
* [[Sinister Shades]]: Never seen without them.
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Starter Villain]]: al-Asad lasts only halfway through the first game, and the remnants of his forces comprise the opposition in a single mission in the second game.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Really, his entire role was to draw the US's attention away from the civil war in Russia. The {{spoiler|nuclear bomb}} that he used on the Marines was {{spoiler|actually set off by Makarov, to both kill American troops and keep the blame pinned on al-Asad.}}
** The very first moment that you see him in the flesh confirms al-Asad's status as a pathetic puppet of the Ultranationalists. Al-Asad, in his own country, surrounded by his own men, walks up to Zakhaev, who points a pistol ''in his face'', and al-Asad stops like a deer trapped in the headlights. Zakhaev then casually spins the pistol around and hands it to al-Asad, as if saying "now go kill al-Fulani like a good dog." And he does as the master commands.
== Imran Zakhaev ==
Line 430:
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: The only time he's not seen in a nice suit are in the flashbacks before he becomes the Ultranationalists' new leader. He seem to hate ties though.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of 3, but he'd been a major (if unseen) player much earlier. He {{spoiler|saved Zakhaev after he was shot}}, he {{spoiler|ordered the nuclear detonation in al-Asad's capital}}, and he masterminded the {{spoiler|entire Russian invasion of Europe.}}
* [[Dragon Ascendant]]/[[Mook Promotion]]: In ''Modern Warfare 3'' it's shown that Makarov {{spoiler|was just one of Zakhaev's many [[Mooks]] attending the Chernobyl arms deal in 1996. He and Yuri end up saving Zakhaev's life after his arm is shot off by Price, which leads to Makarov gaining Zakhaev's favor and rapidly ascending the ranks of the Ultranationalists, making him a [[The Dragon|Dragon]], albeit under [[Co-Dragons|Co-]][[Dragon-in-Chief|dragons in chief]] Al-Asad and Victor Zakhaev. After Al-Asad's and bothZakhaevs' deaths he becomes the leader of the extremist wing of the Ultranationalists, and by the time of ''Modern Warfare 3'', he's secretly controlling a large portion of the Russian military from behind the scenes.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dragon with an Agenda]]: Considering the fact his apparently main safehouse gets raided and all his data is in American hands, he somehow manages to control nearly every major asset in the Russian military in 3 which shows that he had a much bigger and better equipped facility elsewhere, meaning he's probably been feeding lies to Shepherd since the start.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Mine]]: In the level "The Enemy of My Enemy", he gives away the location of Shepherd's hideout to Price and Soap to save his own arse from inevitable destruction by Shepherd's forces.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Former Friend]]: To Yuri.}}
* [[Famous-Named Foreigner]]: Named after the former Soviet Union's standard issue pistol. Becomes a case of [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] for some when said pistol appears in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]''. "Wait, what do you mean the guard was trying to beat you with Makarov's butt?"
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: He was just an ordinary soldier with dreams of patriotism. Then he rose through the ranks, and became the world's greatest terrorist.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: Every time he is encountered in the flesh, without exception, Makarov ends up killing or critically wounding a [[Player Character]]. {{spoiler|Allen, Harkov, Soap, and Yuri (twice!)}}.
** Though he doesn't personally encounter them he also kills {{spoiler|Jackson and Mr. Davis}}.
Line 482:
An astronaut briefly controlled in Modern Warfare 2.
* {{spoiler|[[Cruel and Unusual Death]]}}
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* [[Player Character]]
* [[Recycled in Space]]: He mostly serves the same role as [[Call of Duty]] 4's Al Fulani, [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|but IN SPACE]].
== Yasir Al-Fulani ==
President of the unnamed Middle Eastern country in the first Modern Warfare.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: How he dies.
* [[Controllable Helplessness]]
