Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
In Singleplayer, the Spetsnaz are a completely different faction. They are the allies of the SAS and are a member of the official Russian Armed Forces. This Spetsnaz army is led by Sgt. Kamarov.

In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the Spetsnaz only appears in multiplayer as one of the four factions. They always oppose the SAS. They appear in the maps Bloc, Countdown, Downpour, Overgrown, Pipeline, Shipment, Vacant, and Wet Work. The Spetsnaz models are based on the Ultranationalist models.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The Spetsnaz appear in Modern Warfare 2 as enemies. They were seen fighting with the Russian Army attacking Virginia and Washington D.C. and fighting Task Force 141 in the missions "Cliffhanger", "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday", "Gulag" and "Contingency".

The Spetsnaz appears in multiplayer and campaign, using the campaign Russian Airborne Troops skins. This incarnation of the Spetsnaz is far different from the Spetsnaz in the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer. Instead of being dressed as guerrillas, they wear professional and standardized uniforms. Unlike in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops, they fight against all of their enemy factions, mainly Task Force 141 and Rangers. Strangely, in the level "Second Sun", Sgt. Foley would say something like: "Spetsnaz Troopers inbound, Ramirez, contact 12 o'clock!" This suggests that the Spetsnaz and the Russian Airborne troops are the same thing except for the airborne troops being the "Vympel" group and the Spetsnaz group being the "Alpha" group, all belonging to the Spetsnaz. This sort of explains why the Spetsnaz and the Russian Airborne troops are much more difficult to kill than the other enemies in the campaign.

General

 * In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, when playing as Spetsnaz, if the player looks at the player's sleeves they can see the letters SPEC-OPs, meaning Special Operations.
 * The Spetsnaz are the only faction to be featured in all non-WW2 games except Call of Duty: Black Ops II's 2025 story arc, always opposing an 'allied' team.
 * Since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, they have started every single multiplayer match with the usual 'Take no prisoners comrades!'

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

 * The Spetsnaz announcer is voiced by Sgt. Kamarov.
 * Despite the fact that the multiplayer faction is Spetsnaz, the character models used for the faction are those of the Ultranationalists.
 * It is strange that they oppose the SAS and are an enemy faction in multiplayer, as their allegiance would be the current Loyalist government.
 * Their victory theme appears to be taken from the Anthem of the USSR.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

 * They do not wear watches, whereas all other factions do.
 * They are against every other enemy team in multiplayer.
