Very Astute Observations. I had also thought the stairwell was the same (I'm guessing the location is either Africa, Thailand, India or France) so its good to know it is! The thing that is really interesting to me about the stairwell scene though is that the punch is seen from the first person perspective. That means whichever character you are playing at the time gets punched in da face by Price! :P but what does this mean? Does Soap turn evil? or is it an american soldier that finds Price and Price has to punch him to reason with him because he doesn't want to kill a good guy, but at the same time, he is seen as a bad guy by the soldier?

I am really interested in your assessment of 0:45-46. I had noticed the one guy in the middle with the pistol and thought that was really odd given the severe limitations of a pistol in a modern battlefield. I hadn't even noticed that the other dudes had them too and that Price was there as well. I think your right. They have pistols because they are on the very edge of the brink fighting back before they fall. A determined act of desperation indeed. And that they seem to be Americans and Price is with them (but not Soap interestingly), I'm thinking that this happens later in the game, when America has been seriously pounded and when the truth of Shepherd is discovered and Price is a hero again instead of war criminal. Since, Soap is not there, this could be a sign that in this game he might die. I don't know, we'll have to see! getting real excited! tell me what you think, man, very good observations.
