Archer

"Sniper Team in Position."

- Archer over the radio in "Loose Ends".

Archer was a British member of Task Force 141 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Biography
He appears in the mission "Loose Ends" as part of Sniper Team One, wearing a ghillie suit and providing over watch for the strike team (Roach and Ghost). He and his partner Toad provide very critical help during the take down and defense of Vladimir Makarov's safe house, providing sniper support and taking out two armored trucks that were escaping from Makarov's safe house with Javelin missiles. Archer possibly survived the events of Modern Warfare 2, since he was at a far distance from the close quarter battles that occurred at Makarov's safe house. Archer and Toad may still be alive and avoided Shepherd's men when Captain Price attempted to alert Task Force 141 of Shepherd's betrayal over the radio, if the player returns to the hilltop once they have grabbed the DSM Archer and Toad have disappeared, but this is because Archer relocates during the firefight for a better view. His subsequent fate after the events of "Loose Ends" is unknown.

Trivia

 * Another audible portion of the Shadow Company radio conversation is, "Watch for Snipers" and, "Sniper's status unknown", which could mean that Archer and/or Toad escaped, but once again, there is no way of knowing exactly what was meant by the above comments.
 * Evidence for his death includes the possibility to hear, "All targets destroyed" from Shadow Company radios, which would include the sniper team.
 * Archer is voiced by Todd Alderman, the voice actor for Cpt. Bell in Modern Warfare: Mobilized.
 * Though Archer uses an M14 EBR, the sound when Archer takes a shot is that of an Intervention.
