Plot[]
Having learned the location of the last missile, Task Force 141 and the US Marines launched an assault against a building occupying by Hassan Zyani and Al-Qatala in downtown Chicago. John Price and Kyle "Gaz" Garrick rappeled the building, eliminating AQ soldiers from the windows, saving several hostages.
Once inside the building, they are rejoined by Johnny "Soap" MacTavish and the Marines as Hassan and his mens were escaping. With Price hurt and Gaz tending his injuries, Soap rushed towards the empty floor where Hassan fled. With Simon "Ghost" Riley as overwatch, Soap succesfully destroyed the missile before it could reach Washington, D.C. However, Hassan managed to overwhelm Soap in a fight and almost throw him out of the building before he was killed by Ghost.
