Gary "Roach" Sanderson

Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson is a character that will be playable in Modern Warfare 2. He operates with Captain MacTavish in the cold mountains of Kazakhstan as part of Task Force 141. It has been confirmed that he was in the S.A.S. but he was transfered into TF 141.

Trivia

 * Like his commanding officer Captain MacTavish (known as "Soap" in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), Sgt. Sanderson has a unique nickname: "Roach".
 * His nickname could possibly be based off of Roach, the grenadier from Apocalypse Now.
 * His nickname could mean that he is 'hard to kill', as it is widely known that cockroaches are difficult to kill.
 * It's possible that he is the newest member of Task Force 141; considering the name "Roach", much like how MacTavish was called "Soap" when he was the new member of Bravo Team in COD4.
 * His name could be a mix of two people that were part of Delta Force during the events in Somalia in 1993: Gary Gordon, a Delta sniper and Medal of Honor recipient, and Jeff Sanderson (the film version of Paul Howe), a Delta Sergeant during the mission.
 * Like Capt. Mactavish, as far as has been shown, "Roach" also started his S.A.S. career as an Sgt.
