Quick notes
- Two main military perspectives. Frost serves with Delta Force while Yuri works with Price’s team.
- Price and Soap carry the previous story forward. The game follows Modern Warfare 2 and assumes its aftermath.
- Makarov connects the fronts. Makarov is the antagonist tying the military operations to Task Force 141’s hunt.
