Plot

The mission opens with Alpha Team exiting their submarine and moving up to the surface. Once they are near the wall of the Zordaya Prison Complex. The team fires their line launchers and ascends the prison's wall. Once up there, Alpha-1 eliminates a prison guard and the team moves on. They then clear the way for Bravo Team to descend, after that, Alpha Team moves further down into the prison's courtyard and gets into position. Once all teams are ready, Charlie Team starts the attack and Alpha Team begins to engage the prison's guards, moving their way to the air duct.

Alpha 2-1 then positions himself to a descending position and right after Bravo Team cuts the power, he descends, alongside his team. Bravo Team then kicks off the prison riot, with Alpha Team eliminating any prison guard they encounter to help in spreading the riot further. Once Alpha Team reaches the ground floor, they go deeper into the prison, eventually reaching Prison 627's cell. After confirming that it's their guy, Bravo Team opens the door of the cell. Prisoner 627 exchanges batters with Alpha-1 and Alpha 2-1, then he walks out, revealing himself to be none other than Vladimir Makarov.

Alpha Team then escort Makarov up to the prison's courtyard, where they call for Raptor's fire support to pave the way to the tunnel - their extraction point. However, the plan changed due to an attack helicopter blocking their way, killing Alpha-3, forcing Alpha Team to change their route. Eventually, they barely managed to escape alongside Makarov, and Bravo Team, and Charlie Team.

Campaign Premiere - Call of Duty- Modern Warfare III

Trivia

• "627" is a reference to the prisoner number assigned to John Price, Prisoner #627, in the mission The Gulag in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
• The Campaign Premiere trailer misspells "Kastovian Sea" as "Kostovian Sea". Additionally, the mission takes place on October 13, 2023.
• When Makarov leaves his cell, he mentions in Russian that it has been 6 years since he was incarcerated while the English subtitles state it has been 4 years.
• Part of the entrance to Makarov's cell is used as the background of the Showcase mechanic in Modern Warfare III's Multiplayer Mode.
• The description of the mission states the Alpha Team is infiltrating a Russian gulag, even though the Zordaya Prison Complex is located in Verdansk, Kastovia.
• In the early stages of development, the mission was supposed to feature a recreation of the Gulag showers first seen in the mission The Gulag in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It was later cut.
  • Additionally, the mission also had a different escape segment, where Prisoner 627 and Alpha Team would fight their way through the prison's gym to extract. Instead of using the tunnel.
  • Furthermore, instead of blowing up the door and making their way to Prisoner 627. Alpha Team was supposed to use a bolt cutter and cut open the door.
