Vasquez

"Oorah."

- Lt. Vasquez

Lieutenant Vasquez is in charge of Sergeant Paul Jackson's squad during the American-only missions in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. He is easily recognized because he wears a helmet lacking a desert camouflage cover, several tally signs, and the number 28. He carries more equipment than the other Marines and is noticeably bulkier. He always uses an M16A4 with an M203 grenade launcher attachment. He is also always carrying a Mossberg 500 shotgun on his back though he never uses it and it is never available to the player (this is presumably a breaching shotgun). He is killed in the nuclear explosion while evacuating in a transport helicopter in the mission Shock and Awe. His corpse can be found during Aftermath. Since he is found dead in Aftermath and could have been killed in Shock and Awe, his death is undetermined between the two missions.

Vasquez is voiced by David Sobolov.

Trivia

 * He cared deeply about his Marines, which is demonstrated when he risks his, and his team's lives, to save an injured Cobra pilot - which in turn costs them all of their lives. Also, he can be seen patting a marine's back.
 * He has tally marks and the number "28" on the front and back of his helmet. It could likely be the amount of kills he has made.
 * Vasquez is notably strong physically, as seen in the level War Pig, when a Marine is seen trying to push a large dumpster and can't, but the same dumpster is easily pushed with Vasquez' help.
 * Vasquez appears to be of Latino descent, but sounds African.
 * Vasquez has the number twenty-eight on his helmet, but he also has thirty-eight tally marks too.
