MacMillan

"Good Shot Leftenant, I think you blew off his arm. Shock and blood loss'll take care o' the rest."

- MacMillan to Lieutenant Price, upon the latter shooting Imran Zakhaev

MacMillan was a Scottish Special Air Service officer featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Fifteen years prior to the modern events of Call of Duty 4, he was a captain of the SAS and the commander of a two-man SAS sniper team, including then-Lieutenant (pronounced left-tenant in the British Armed Forces) Price, that was assigned to assassinate Imran Zakhaev in a covert operation in Pripyat, Ukraine. After Price successfully injured Zakhaev, MacMillan and Lieutenant Price were compromised and forced to flee. MacMillan's leg was injured after a Russian gunship crashes and nearly kills him, and Price had to carry him the rest of the way to safety.

The player controls Price during "One Shot, One Kill" and "All Ghillied Up". However, the player cannot finish the mission without carrying Captain MacMillan to safety in "One Shot, One Kill".

Captain MacMillan is also famous for his thick Scottish accent. During the mission "One Shot, One Kill", MacMillan instructs you on how to snipe Imran Zakhaev.

Trivia

 * Captain MacMillan is voiced by actor Zach Hanks.


 * In the lyrics of Deep and Hard, the song played in the credits, MacMillan is mentioned in the following phrase: "... This ones for MacMillian, 15 years you had relaxing..." These lyrics point to the fact that he retired as a Captain, probably because of his leg injury and age.


 * The ghillie suit has Scottish origins, just like MacMillan himself.


 * Before you get to the main menu, a cutscene plays, saying " 50,000 people use to live here, now it's a ghost town." If you listen closely, Zach Hanks does not voice Macmillan here.


 * In sniping missions in which the player controls Soap, Captain Price will occasionally say, "Good job, Macmillan would be proud."
