Archer

"Snipers in position."

- Archer, beginning of Loose Ends.

Archer was a British member of Task Force 141 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Biography
He appears in the mission "Loose Ends" as part of Sniper Team One, wearing a ghillie suit and providing over watch for the strike team (Roach and Ghost). He and his partner Toad provide very critical help during the take down and defense of Vladimir Makarov's safe house, providing sniper support and taking out two armored trucks that were escaping from Makarov's safe house with Javelin missiles.

Archer possibly survived the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, since he was at a far distance from the close quarter battles that occurred at Makarov's safe house. Archer and Toad may still be alive and avoided Shepherd's men when Captain Price attempted to alert Task Force 141 of Shepherd's betrayal over the radio, if the player returns to the hilltop once they have grabbed the DSM Archer and Toad have disappeared, but this is because Archer relocates during the firefight for a better view. His subsequent fate after the events of "Loose Ends" is unknown.

Trivia

 * Though Archer uses an M14 EBR, the sound when Archer takes a shot is that of an Intervention.
 * If the player kills Archer and Toad at the beginning of the mission, they will still be providing sniper support and talking to the player throughout the mission.
 * His suit is similar to Sgt. Scully's suit in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
 * It is possible Toad and Archer were killed, or at least that Shepherd's men were aware of the two snipers being in the area - if the player listens when Roach and Ghost are executed, it is possible to hear "Gold Eagle is on the ground, watch for snipers on thermal". This could also just be Makarov's snipers as a large Russian force would have stood between the TF141 snipers and Shepherd's men.
 * He is most likely dead since Oxide states over the radio, "All targets destroyed" which would include Sniper Team One. It is possible too that Oxide did not notice him and Toad.
