Talk:John Price (Original)

Price VS. Shepherd
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

in the final mission of Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2, when Price is fighting Shepherd, isn't it strange that Price isn't using his knife even though it's clearly visible at the end of the fight? Youronlinesniper 22:08, February 28, 2010 (UTC)youronlinesniper

Is Captain Price is same one in CoD 2 as he is in 4? Many sources i've heard say yes but that doesn't seem possible because that would make Price 78 yrs old at the youngest.
 * Most (if not all) countries' armed forces have a rule that infantry can't be over 50, and be in the line of fire. I believe the US's army has it at 40. 00:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And it's probabaly even lower for Special Forces? I think he is a descendant of Price, and there is the fact his voice is different? 10:17 28 December 2007 (GMT)
 * Actualy alot of special operators are quite old and well into military carears. Alot of special forces dont require peak physical strength and endurance. БοņёŠ ɓɤĭĠ₳₯є  05:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

A descendand of the COD2 Captain Price is more realistic. In Call of Duty 2 he is called Captain Price, that would be in the 40s. In Call of duty 4, during the flashback mission at chernobyl he is Lieutnant Price and then becomes Captain Price on present day. Since Chernobyl happened after WWII It seems unrealistic that Captain Price was retrograded to Lieutnant to become Captain again later.

Haha. Though that was odd. Hell, even Game Informer made that mistake.--Maverick King 02:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I would like to think it's his youngest brother, maybe a son or nephew. They are very much alike, same company who made the game. It's just a nice little wink to those days. Maybe "Old Price" pulled some strings to get "Young Price" in the SAS, who knows? totava89.152.240.61 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

It is the same captain price as COD 4, since him and soap clearly knew each other in "the gulag". As for the one in COD 2, I beleive it is simply infinity ward liking the name Captain Price (: Mike1094 19:09, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Captain Price's Voice Actor
Shouldn't it be noted who his vioce actor is? It's Billy Murray. Not to be confused with Bill Murray (the guy who played Peter Vankman in Ghostbusters).

Captain Price's rank during the Chernobyl mission
The rank Price held during his Chernobyl mission is refered to by the article as 'Leftenant'. Although during the Chernobyl mission to assassinate Zakhaev the player hears Capt. Macmillan refer to Price as 'Leftenant Price', and the subtitles as well spell it 'Leftenant' this is just a British pronounciation of the rank of lieutenant, and should be adjusted in the article to its correct spelling. Unless this is just a reference to how the game spells it? -- It's a voluntarily incorrect pronounciation of the term "Lieutenant", which is transported to the subtitles, as "Uh" in the 'Death from Above' level isn't omitted. totava 89.152.240.61 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

^-It isn't an incorrect pronunciation, it is an old pronunciation, and the developers spelled it phonetically so that deaf people know that bushy-face is using an English dialect, the old pronunciation (technically a provincial pronunciation of a French loanword) is still common outside the USA. Remember it's the English language, not American.

HEY TOTAVA WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST DEAF PEOPLE, EH??? EHHHH??????

The fact that hes part of the British SAS should kinda explain this. dont really see why the americans think everone should use their version of our language? --Zynx832 22:37, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Captain Price (COD2)
The Captain Price of Call of Duty 2 didn't lead the 7th Armoured Division. That was Field Marshal Montgomery. Captains usually are in-charge of company-sized units or smaller.

It's so hard to see?!
Common people, you are a bunch of squares! It's so damn obvius that the apearing of Cpt. Price in many episodes of CoD is a damn Easter egg I feel sorry for the blindness of those who have the time to calculate the age of Price and so on..

-I agree, they reused a great character, It doesn't make him 78, it means that Price and his big bushy bitch-tickler are badass permanent residents of the CoD franchise, and should be in the next non-treyarch CoD as well, even if he is dead at the end of CoD4. You can't keep a good 'stache down. Bitches.

Sounds like SOMEONE needs anger management...

Something Unkwown
I wonder how Cpt. Price turn to Lt. Price? Palak &#39;Natinee 04:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean? Is it how he was promoted or something? Attack Rhino 01:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

He probably got promoted for killing Zakhaev,but then they found out he was still alive ?WhIpSnAp? 15:03, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

WTF are you talking about? no fraggin way this is the Captain Price of CoD2 as he would be an absolute minimum of 78 and can't be beyond early 50's, in Pripyat, he was a 'Leftenant' and in the next 10 years got promoted a time or two (supposing weather he was 1st or 2nd Lt in Pripyat) to become Captain. i do like the son idea.Agent Tasmania 10:26, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Relationship with CoD 2 Price
Is it really a widely held belief among fans that they're father and son? That's idiotic. Men don't often father children at the age of 67. And according to the article on the Price in CoD 2, he died 22 years before CoD4 Price was born, though honestly, I don't know if any of these dates are legit or fanon. Haven't played the games in a while.--75.68.134.170 18:41, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

But what bout Grand/Great Grand Sons??? named after COD2 price in honour of his service in military that seems legit.... Richardpwnr 12:41, November 29, 2009 (UTC)RichardPWNR

voice actor in bio
This does not make sense that the stating of the fact that Bill Murrary is the voice actor for Price, is in the biography section. I think that it needs to be moved to the Trivia section, with another person's consent, I shall then move it to the appropriate section.

Thanks, Attack Rhino 01:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Still alive?
Have any other sources said whether or not Price'll reappear in MW2? I'm not sure how much i trust Game Informer's word if they didnt even get his name right WouldYouKindly 00:38, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * There is no official word on the subject as his survival was left ambiguous. -- 00:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Using a camera cheat, you can plainly see him die at the end of Game Over. However, Billy Murray has confirmed he will be voicing him in MW2. I believe this will probably in a flashback mission like All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One Kill MrJoe95 01:16, October 11, 2009 (UTC)MrJoe95

these posts are all from before the release but.... ~SPOILER ALERT~ yeah hes in it again,near the end of game in a jail cell in russia as u take command of SOAP to free him Richardpwnr 12:46, November 29, 2009 (UTC)RIchardPWNR

questioning Price's age
I do not know where someone found Price's age, and I could not find any references for it. Could someone give a reference for the age?

Thanks, Attack Rhino 05:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

That's because there are no references for it, some moron's been adding random dates to the birthdate section in every single character infobox (even the cannon fodder characters, even frickin Sniper Team Two) WouldYouKindly 01:49, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the reply. Attack Rhino 05:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

that was williamstrother, hes been doing all of this fanon crap, go to the roach talk page to see the bollocking he got P.S theres a ban on sight policy for him so...well...BAN HIM - ghost mactavish

In MW2?
Someone added to the article that Price is a colonel in MW2. I hardly follow MW2 news so I am unsure if this is player speculation or not-- 00:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I just deleted that stuff. They were confusing it with Soap's return as a Captain. Imrlybord7 17:57, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Tom Clancy?
In the Tom Clancy Novel: "Rainbbow 6" There is a british former SAS agent who is part of Rainbow named Eddie Price who also likes to smoke. Coincidence?


 * Well... That's sort of a stupid thing to say (no offense), because surely there must be tons of soldiers who like to smoke. Also, Rainbow 6 was written in 1998.


 * His picture in the Character Select screen in Rainbow six seems similar to the way he looks in call of duty
 * Hey guys, guess what, NOBODY'S SIGNING THEIR POSTS HERE. For god's sake, sign your posts. -Shockwolf10 00:40, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Modern warfare 2 time
It says that mw2 is in 2016, any official proof?


 * Yeah, I found on the CoD timeline, it says 2016. It should only be listed if evidence can be found. Attack Rhino 20:36, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * In an interview one of the devs said it takes place 5 years after MW1 which took place in 2011-- 20:46, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, and where's the proof that MW1 took place in 2011? 93.107.207.185 13:48, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Die
i want him to die at the end of mw2, but it will be, in a explosion and shit not something stupid.

you shouldnt right stuff like that on here you should be on the fannon wiki where you can say all your made up stuff instead of here where we talk about facts not made up wishes ?WhIpSnAp? 15:01, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

it's a talk page he can pretty much wish what he wants   Critchell   Sniper  15:05, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

have you seen the part about william and the one above him on the talk of Gary Sanderson that is similar to what this guy said and people have a go at william ?WhIpSnAp? 16:42, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Quotes
Someone should add the quotes from the cutscenes from the last two levels, best Price quotes ever IMO. PhantBat 09:23, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Really? I thought it was cheesy beyong belief. Moozipan Cheese 13:59, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Quite honestly, it was epic. It very much reminded me of the daring Captain Price from CoD4: MW PShizzzzle 01:14, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Here's one right here..."This is for the record. History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If he lives, and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost. Shepherd will be a hero. 'Cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood. He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history. His truth will be the truth. But only if he lives, and we die." and also this one "The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."

I checked the quotes, I'm pretty sure I got it right. Anyone wanna recheck?

Missquoted
The quote of what Price said to Makarov in response to Makarov saying "I'll see you in hell", should be "give my regards to Zakehev if you get there first."

Price's Capture
Surely he was captured after game over, as you see the russian trying to perform cpr hit his body in frustration meaning they believed he was dead so probably left his body and when someone found the battlesite saw there was a sas member who was still alive (maybe he came round by then), they took him and imprisoned him, or something along those lines, as surely if he had been captured while with TF 141 they would have sent a party to try and retreive him as they would likely know who captured him? just a thought.


 * Considering the Ultranationalists took power in Russia, they probably placed him in the Gulag (as they couldn't kill him) after he healed. Still, that raises the question of why Soap wasn't in the Gulag too, as he was the one who actually killed Zakhaev. As for why he looked dead in the end of the last game, Infinity Ward probably didn't expect there game to be analysed so deeply/know what they would do with Price. Moozipan Cheese 21:16, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Which is basically what i wanted to say, but soap was rescued by the loyalists. and im pretty sure i saw on the actual page that price was captured while with TF 141 which isnt confirmed, anyway this seems more likely

Though IW probably didnt expect to make a sequel --Zynx832 22:53, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I would have rathered that they didn't make a direct sequel. I liked Modern Warfare 1's story, it was like a great action movie. This one feels hacked together and badly constructed. Really, the only good parts are the American campaign and the multiplayer.

Here's my story, they left Price for dead, so he was left, evantully the Ultranationlists (not the Lolaylists) came to the battle ground for a news report (Zakheav: Hero of New Russia) and when they found out the Price was alive, they captured and kept him locked up. Everyone else thought he was dead. The reason why Soap wasn't captured was because the Loyalists picked him up, and Nickolai (if he is the same one from MW1) is most likely an Loyalist, proving the Loyalist's are against the New Russia. Peter Griffen Boy 21:11, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Judging by the fact you don't see what happens to his body, I think it was recovered by the Loyalists. I very much doubt they would leave behind an important comrade like Price and have him rot on some highway in Russia, even if he WAS dead. I think they picked his body up, intending to bury it in Britain, but somehow their chopper never made it, or something.

Dunno, I pulled that one out of my ass.

-I Think that they took him on the chopper and gave him medical attention and that it was a SEPARTE chopper and it was shot down and when a search came for him they took him and were going to execute him but malarov wanted him to rot away in jail. so left him the gulag and then 5 years later Soap and Gh -ost and lil old Worm came and saved him!

The fanon section
So what is the point of (essentially) telling people "Hay people on forums think this Price and an earlier guy named Price are totally related!" If it's not probable, as the this section says, then it's not even worth mentioning. --FFN 15:53, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

Price in the Gulag
It is highly possible that the injuries sustained in Game Over required him to be hospitalized in a Russian hospital. Possibly long enough for the government shift to the ultranationalists to take place, who, as mentioned in the article, imprisoned him for being the "murderer" of Zakhaev, which could have a public rallying affect.

im thinking that since he helped kill Zakheav, he was a crimminal in russia. the gulag might have been a safehouse but than it was taken over by ultranatiolists.Signatures/Guthix's mage2 17:00, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Based on..
Is it me or does he look like the guy Ken that is in the real S.A.S ?

He has the same moustache,does anyone else think so? Mat.T 16:09, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I reckon he looks like Captain Dick Arthur, who led one of the SAS teams during the Iranian Embassy Siege. Corporal Morgan, RRoS 21:33, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Incarceration
Bit of intelligent discussion here - in the Modern Warfare 2 Launch party video (or one of them) Billy Murray says that Price has been locked up for "2 years" + at the end of the game (or close to) it says on the pre-mission briefing while loading that Price is a "former TF141 leader (substitute leader for x word thats the one im unsure of)

This proves that TF141 was created within 3 years (at a maximum) of CoD4 finishing. This also means Price was a former Captain before being locked up in the Gulag.

Someone edit the wiki with this info please?

86.158.105.156 02:37, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

The most it said was former SAS Captain, nothing about the 141. CAW4 18:35, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

I'm the above poster who made this little attempt to create info - in the loading screen of ENDGAME - it actually says after it detects Price's voice and he says a few lines. The data readout in the bottom left corner says that he was "Former Specialist - Task Force 141" AFTER it says he was a former SAS captain - thereby implying he was in TF141 as well before being imprisoned - I am looking at the loading screen RIGHT NOW to confirm this. Now will a registered user update the wiki based on my first post - confirmed info IN GAME & from Voice actor. Thankyou

Lost most of his sanity?
I'm not sure I agree with the segment that Price 'lost most of his sanity' in the Gulag. Sure, he was (understandably) a bit trigger happy and pissed, but he as sane and badass as ever. Him putting his gun to Roach is pretty understandable considering a whole bunch of heavily armed dudes busted in his cell and he probably didn't know the hell why. Even when Soap intervened, Price pretty much went "...Oh. Whoops!" and helped you without a hitch. He doesn't come across as having lost any of his sanity or edge.--Doop. 10:03, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

you people are way too worried about all this stuff, my answer here is simple... Infinity Ward are probably using this gap in the story line as DLC later in 2010 and it will more than likely explain the events that got Price locked up! See how simple that was? 86.140.140.32 15:38, January 2, 2010 (UTC) HkD aRrMaGeDoN

And someone doesn't know how to read... CAW4 22:54, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

War Criminal

 * It is strange that Price is labelled as a War Criminal so late in the game, he detonates the nuke wiping out the ISS but then debriefs with Shepherd and the U.S. government about the next course of action. If indeed this was put on his rap sheet when Shepherd labeled him a traitor the only way he wouldn't be arrested immediately after the fact is if he was pardoned due to the nuke helping the war effort, if he was pardoned then it logically can't be part of his rap sheet. The killing of Shepherd's men and the destruction of, no doubt dozens, their highly expensive equipment was more likely what classified him as a war criminal.

So Price is being pursued because he and Soap destroyed costly military equipment? I doubt it. Shadow Company probably blew through more equipment just trucking around Afghanistan and training than anything Price could've done. I mean, Makarov wanted Soap and Price dead, so did obviously Shepherd. It's pretty obvious Shepherd was going to have the two eliminated after they went after Makarov's safehouses. Roach and Ghost met their fates that way, it's pretty safe to say Price was meant for it too. Is it alright if I make changes to affect this? And no, I'm not signing my posts.

And why are you not signing your posts? Do you have something to hide? -Shockwolf10 00:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

British and Scottish?!?
"Fifteen years prior to the events of Modern Warfare, Price held the rank of Lieutenant (in the British and Scottish armed forces) in the 22nd SAS Regiment"

I notice the main article is locked for editing but...Scotland is in Britain! Britain is not England...just like the Union Jack isn't the flag of England.

Picture
On his page, there is a picture that says "Captain Price in his early days of the SAS." That should be removed or re-captioned because that is the beard the Captain Price has in MW2. Cpl. Dunn 02:34, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

So it's impossible for someone to grow a beard, shave it and then re-grow it twenty years later?
