Spetsnaz


 * This article is on the sub-faction of the larger and more prominent Soviet Armed Forces and Ultranationalists factions

The Spetsnaz are a faction featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty 4
The Spetsnaz only appear in the multiplayer of Call of Duty 4. They are usually opposite the SAS, although they also fight the USMC on certain maps.

Singleplayer
The Spetsnaz first make their appearance in Wolverines!, in which they parachute into suburban Virginia, attempting to knock out the United States' capital. They are easily recognizable by their red Urban Camouflage uniforms, and many also wear gas masks. For the remainder of the campaign, the Spetsnaz are the main enemy during the Rangers' campaign.

Multiplayer
The Spetsnaz in multiplayer are far different from the Spetsnaz in Call of Duty 4s multiplayer. Instead of being dressed as guerrillas, they wear more professional and standardized uniforms.

Singleplayer
The Spetsnaz appear in the several missions throughout the game. They first appear in Executive Order, when fighting them off while trying to stop a launch. Next they appear in Numbers when the player try to capture or kill Dr. Clarke. In the final scene Clarke slips on the roof and you manage to catch him, but the Spetsnaz manages to shoot him in his head and you let him go and watch as he falls down the apartments. The Spetsnaz are harder to kill than normal A.I. in Black Ops due to increased armor and more accurate aiming. They also utilize combat maneuvers such as combat rolls.

Multiplayer
Alongside the Tropas and NVA, the Spetsnaz are a usable multiplayer faction opposite of the American-based factions. They wear similar garb to their opposite faction, but use slightly different camouflage and they don't use balaclavas or olive-drab colored helmets as seen in Executive Order, Numbers or WMD( In WMD they use snow-camo helmets as in multiplayer, but they use black balaclavas and the CCCP logo is on their back ).
