Contingency is the twelfth level of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Summary
After Captain Price is rescued from the Russian gulag, he carries out a plan to end the war in the United States. Task Force 141 must secure a route to a docked submarine in Russia. The mission begins with the player and Price taking out patrols in the snowy woods. Follow his instructions to avoid alerting enemy patrols. The player will frequently encounter groups of two or more enemies; avoid them as much as possible, but if need be, the player will need to be fast on the trigger to take them out. Their dogs are especially dangerous since they can sniff the player out. At one point a BTR-80 will attack; follow Price into the woods to avoid its fire.

The player will eventually regroup with the task force and initiate an attack on the sub base. You can use the Predator Missile, especially against the helicopter, tanks, and enemies clustered near vehicles and explosives.This is quite effective.

Price heads to the submarine, while the player will follow Ghost to a building to defend from the enemies. Ghost, who is unaware of Price's plans, warns Price that the sub's missile silo doors are opening, only to learn in shock that it was exactly as he planned. Price launches an ICBM with the intent to detonate it in the upper atmosphere as an EMP.

The EMP ensures the survival of Sergeant Foley and his men from the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment in Washington D.C, but the shockwave destroys the International Space Station.

Weapon Loadout
In this level, the player starts with an M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle with a Silencer and a USP with a Silencer and a Tactical Knife.

Enemy Intel(s)

 * Intel No. 31: (1/3 Intel) After out running the BTR, head North near 3 men patrols and West of the oil pipe, under the parachute.
 * Intel No. 32: (2/3 Intel) At submarine base, enter building marked "33" at west corner, then immediately turn south.
 * Intel No. 33: (3/3 Intel) Take stairs up to helipad at North-West corner. Intel is also at North-West corner of the helipad.

Glitches

 * There is a glitch where the player can get out of the map. After the player assists in escorting Price to the submarine, turn to the right and at the corner of the building is a jeep. If the player approaches the front, they can see a "Press 'Space' to jump" sign appear onscreen. Although it is difficult to achieve this, it is not impossible.
