Ultimatum

"It's quite simple. Either we retake the launch facility or we won't recognize the world tomorrow."

- Captain Price in the mission intro.

"Ultimatum" is the seventeenth campaign mission of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, where Captain Price and his team have to knock out a Power Station in order to get to the ICBM Launch Facility with the help of Staff Sergeant Griggs, who was captured earlier by Ultranationalist forces.

Characters

 * John "Soap" MacTavish (playable)
 * John Price
 * Gaz
 * Griggs
 * Imran Zakhaev (cutscene only)
 * Yura (K.I.A.)

Plot
The team parachutes down to the starting point but realizes that Griggs is missing and has triggered his emergency transponder. The team tracks his signal down to a small village. The team then systematically clears each building; when they finally find and rescue Griggs, the team makes their way to an electric tower, which Soap brings down with C4, disabling the power long enough for another team to infiltrate the nuclear facility.

Captain Price's team then fights their way into a group of buildings, separate, and then, encountering hostiles dropped in by helicopter along the way, meet up with the American sniper team. As they rendezvous, they witness the launching of two missiles from the nuclear facility; Imran Zakhaev's revenge for the death of his son. The missiles head towards the eastern United States - with casualties projected to be approximately 40 million.

Zakhaev's speech
This mission's starting video shows Imran Zakhaev's speech being broadcast. It has become somewhat popular among the community. The whole speech reads:

"Our so-called leaders prostituted us to the West...Destroyed our culture...Our economies...Our honor. Our blood has been spilled on our soil. My blood... On their hands. They are the invaders. All U.S. and British forces will leave Russia immediately... Or suffer the consequences..."

- Imran Zakhaev
