Is Captain Price is same one in CoD 2 as he is in 4? Many sources i've heard say yes but that doesn't seem possible because that would make Price 78 yrs old at the youngest.

Actually that isn't WW2 price. WW2 price died in some level. Actually COD2 price and MW price are grandparent/grandchild. Crazywarfire 21:43, October 17, 2011 (UTC)Crazy

Captain Price thoroughly establishes that he never trusted Gen. Shepard by saying,"You have to trust some one to be betrayed," when "Soap" claims that, "Shepard betrayed us." This would make the "Being betrayed by General Shepherd" bullet in the "Known for..." section irrelevant.Ronster813 23:12, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Most (if not all) countries' armed forces have a rule that infantry can't be over 50, and be in the line of fire. I believe the US's army has it at 40. Sgt. Chiafriend^Rifleman 00:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

And it's probabaly even lower for Special Forces? I think he is a descendant of Price, and there is the fact his voice is different? Myself0101 10:17 28 December 2007 (GMT)

Actualy alot of special operators are quite old and well into military carears. Alot of special forces dont require peak physical strength and endurance. БοņёŠɓɤĭĠ₳₯є 05:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

A descendand of the COD2 Captain Price is more realistic. In Call of Duty 2 he is called Captain Price, that would be in the 40s. In Call of duty 4, during the flashback mission at chernobyl he is Lieutnant Price and then becomes Captain Price on present day. Since Chernobyl happened after WWII It seems unrealistic that Captain Price was retrograded to Lieutnant to become Captain again later.

Haha. Though that was odd. Hell, even Game Informer made that mistake.--Maverick King 02:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I would like to think it's his youngest brother, maybe a son or nephew. They are very much alike, same company who made the game. It's just a nice little wink to those days. Maybe "Old Price" pulled some strings to get "Young Price" in the SAS, who knows? totava89.152.240.61 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

It is the same captain price as COD 4, since him and soap clearly knew each other in "the gulag". As for the one in COD 2, I beleive it is simply infinity ward liking the name Captain Price (: Mike1094 19:09, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

It's the same Price otherwise, as Mike1094 said, they wouldn't of known eachother and they look exactly the same AND one of the missions is Just Like Old times which could refer to Soap and Price being together before Xbox360loligan 17:26, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

In 1 shot 1 kill & all ghillied up, price is Leftenant Price, not Luetenant

Leftenant is the pronunciation, not the spelling. It's still Lieutenant. Raven's wing ^Talk15:00, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Only in British English. In American English, it is pronounced Lieutentant. I believe the "Leftenant" pronounciation is derived from the way the French pronounce the word (we all know the French are buggers at strange pronounciation rules, don't we?).

Captain Price's Voice Actor

Shouldn't it be noted who his vioce actor is? It's Billy Murray. Not to be confused with Bill Murray (the guy who played Peter Vankman in Ghostbusters).

Captain Price's rank during the Chernobyl mission

The rank Price held during his Chernobyl mission is refered to by the article as 'Leftenant'. Although during the Chernobyl mission to assassinate Zakhaev the player hears Capt. Macmillan refer to Price as 'Leftenant Price', and the subtitles as well spell it 'Leftenant' this is just a British pronounciation of the rank of lieutenant, and should be adjusted in the article to its correct spelling. Unless this is just a reference to how the game spells it?

---

It's a voluntarily incorrect pronounciation of the term "Lieutenant", which is transported to the subtitles, as "Uh" in the 'Death from Above' level isn't omitted. totava 89.152.240.61 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

^-It isn't an incorrect pronunciation, it is an old pronunciation, and the developers spelled it phonetically so that deaf people know that bushy-face is using an English dialect, the old pronunciation (technically a provincial pronunciation of a French loanword) is still common outside the USA. Remember it's the English language, not American.

HEY TOTAVA WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST DEAF PEOPLE, EH??? EHHHH??????

The fact that hes part of the British SAS should kinda explain this. dont really see why the americans think everone should use their version of our language? --Zynx832 22:37, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Captain Price (COD2)

The Captain Price of Call of Duty 2 didn't lead the 7th Armoured Division. That was Field Marshal Montgomery. Captains usually are in-charge of company-sized units or smaller.

It's so hard to see?!

Common people, you are a bunch of squares! It's so damn obvius that the apearing of Cpt. Price in many episodes of CoD is a damn Easter egg I feel sorry for the blindness of those who have the time to calculate the age of Price and so on..

-I agree, they reused a great character, It doesn't make him 78, it means that Price and his big bushy bitch-tickler are badass permanent residents of the CoD franchise, and should be in the next non-treyarch CoD as well, even if he is dead at the end of CoD4. You can't keep a good 'stache down. Bitches.

Big-bushy Bitch-tickler... i like it!Agent Tasmania 05:58, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like SOMEONE needs anger management...

Something Unkwown

I wonder how Cpt. Price turn to Lt. Price? Palak 'Natinee 04:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean? Is it how he was promoted or something? Attack Rhino 01:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

He probably got promoted for killing Zakhaev,but then they found out he was still alive ?WhIpSnAp? 15:03, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

WTF are you talking about? no fraggin way this is the Captain Price of CoD2 as he would be an absolute minimum of 78 and can't be beyond early 50's, in Pripyat, he was a 'Leftenant' and in the next 10 years got promoted a time or two (supposing weather he was 1st or 2nd Lt in Pripyat) to become Captain. i do like the son idea.Agent Tasmania 10:26, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Relationship with CoD 2 Price

Is it really a widely held belief among fans that they're father and son? That's idiotic. Men don't often father children at the age of 67. And according to the article on the Price in CoD 2, he died 22 years before CoD4 Price was born, though honestly, I don't know if any of these dates are legit or fanon. Haven't played the games in a while.--75.68.134.170 18:41, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

But what bout Grand/Great Grand Sons??? named after COD2 price in honour of his service in military that seems legit.... Richardpwnr 12:41, November 29, 2009 (UTC)RichardPWNR

My opinion is the same as two topics above, it's just an easter egg. It's a joke that Infinity Ward creates this character in every of their games. Splatt3r 19:59, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

voice actor in bio

This does not make sense that the stating of the fact that Bill Murrary is the voice actor for Price, is in the biography section. I think that it needs to be moved to the Trivia section, with another person's consent, I shall then move it to the appropriate section.

Thanks, Attack Rhino 01:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Still alive?

Have any other sources said whether or not Price'll reappear in MW2? I'm not sure how much i trust Game Informer's word if they didnt even get his name right WouldYouKindly 00:38, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

There is no official word on the subject as his survival was left ambiguous. --Bigm2793 00:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Using a camera cheat, you can plainly see him die at the end of Game Over. However, Billy Murray has confirmed he will be voicing him in MW2. I believe this will probably in a flashback mission like All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One Kill MrJoe95 01:16, October 11, 2009 (UTC)MrJoe95

these posts are all from before the release but.... ~SPOILER ALERT~ yeah hes in it again,near the end of game in a jail cell in russia as u take command of SOAP to free him Richardpwnr 12:46, November 29, 2009 (UTC)RIchardPWNR

He's a caracter in MW2, and not in a flashback mission, as there are none in MW2, he rescued from a gulag, you probably know that. And yes, it does seem he dies in Game Over. 2:01, February 7, 2010. (CST)

questioning Price's age

I do not know where someone found Price's age, and I could not find any references for it. Could someone give a reference for the age?

Thanks, Attack Rhino 05:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

That's because there are no references for it, some moron's been adding random dates to the birthdate section in every single character infobox (even the cannon fodder characters, even frickin Sniper Team Two) WouldYouKindly 01:49, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the reply. Attack Rhino 05:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

that was williamstrother, hes been doing all of this fanon crap, go to the roach talk page to see the bollocking he got P.S theres a ban on sight policy for him so...well...BAN HIM - ghost mactavish

In MW2?

Someone added to the article that Price is a colonel in MW2. I hardly follow MW2 news so I am unsure if this is player speculation or not--Bigm2793 00:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I just deleted that stuff. They were confusing it with Soap's return as a Captain. Imrlybord7 17:57, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

He is still a Captain, Soap just regards him as higher ranking officer as he was under Price during COD4.

- EvErLoyaLEagLE (4/20/2010)

Price's not a Colonel. Neither is he the Captain of Task 141. He is just a former Captain of SAS. The others just call him cpatain 'cause he'd done great missions while being the captain at SAS.

Tom Clancy?

In the Tom Clancy Novel: "Rainbbow 6" There is a british former SAS agent who is part of Rainbow named Eddie Price who also likes to smoke. Coincidence?

Well... That's sort of a stupid thing to say (no offense), because surely there must be tons of soldiers who like to smoke. Also, Rainbow 6 was written in 1998.

His picture in the Character Select screen in Rainbow six seems similar to the way he looks in call of duty

Modern warfare 2 time

It says that mw2 is in 2016, any official proof?

Yeah, I found on the CoD timeline, it says 2016. It should only be listed if evidence can be found. Attack Rhino 20:36, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

In an interview one of the devs said it takes place 5 years after MW1 which took place in 2011--Bigm2793 20:46, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, and where's the proof that MW1 took place in 2011? 93.107.207.185 13:48, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

In the intro to 'All Ghillied Up' Cpt. Price says "even a decade later" a decade is ten years Chernobyl was in 1986. The mission takes place 15 years before the CoD4 takes place in 2011. I think this is in a trivia list of one article. Splatt3r 20:05, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Chernobyl - 1986

"All Ghillied Up" - +10 years = 1996 ("Even a decade later..." - Price)

COD4: MW - +15 years = 2011 ("15 Years Ago" - In the start of "All Gillied Up")

COD: MW2 - +5 years = 2016

-EvErLoyaLEagLE (4/20/2010)

Die

i want him to die at the end of mw2, but it will be, in a explosion and shit not something stupid.

you shouldnt right stuff like that on here you should be on the fannon wiki where you can say all your made up stuff instead of here where we talk about facts not made up wishes ?WhIpSnAp? 15:01, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Quotes

Someone should add the quotes from the cutscenes from the last two levels, best Price quotes ever IMO. PhantBat 09:23, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Really? I thought it was cheesy beyong belief. Moozipan Cheese 13:59, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Quite honestly, it was epic. It very much reminded me of the daring Captain Price from CoD4: MW PShizzzzle 01:14, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Here's one right here..."This is for the record. History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If he lives, and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost. Shepherd will be a hero. 'Cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood. He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history. His truth will be the truth. But only if he lives, and we die." and also this one "The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."

I checked the quotes, I'm pretty sure I got it right. Anyone wanna recheck? ~~

Missquoted

The quote of what Price said to Makarov in response to Makarov saying "I'll see you in hell", should be "give my regards to Zakehev if you get there first."

Price's Capture

Surely he was captured after game over, as you see the russian trying to perform cpr hit his body in frustration meaning they believed he was dead so probably left his body and when someone found the battlesite saw there was a sas member who was still alive (maybe he came round by then), they took him and imprisoned him, or something along those lines, as surely if he had been captured while with TF 141 they would have sent a party to try and retreive him as they would likely know who captured him? just a thought.

Considering the Ultranationalists took power in Russia, they probably placed him in the Gulag (as they couldn't kill him) after he healed. Still, that raises the question of why Soap wasn't in the Gulag too, as he was the one who actually killed Zakhaev. As for why he looked dead in the end of the last game, Infinity Ward probably didn't expect there game to be analysed so deeply/know what they would do with Price. Moozipan Cheese 21:16, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Which is basically what i wanted to say, but soap was rescued by the loyalists. and im pretty sure i saw on the actual page that price was captured while with TF 141 which isnt confirmed, anyway this seems more likely

Though IW probably didnt expect to make a sequel --Zynx832 22:53, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, I would have rathered that they didn't make a direct sequel. I liked Modern Warfare 1's story, it was like a great action movie. This one feels hacked together and badly constructed. Really, the only good parts are the American campaign and the multiplayer.

Here's my story, they left Price for dead, so he was left, evantully the Ultranationlists (not the Lolaylists) came to the battle ground for a news report (Zakheav: Hero of New Russia) and when they found out the Price was alive, they captured and kept him locked up. Everyone else thought he was dead. The reason why Soap wasn't captured was because the Loyalists picked him up, and Nickolai (if he is the same one from MW1) is most likely an Loyalist, proving the Loyalist's are against the New Russia. Peter Griffen Boy 21:11, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Judging by the fact you don't see what happens to his body, I think it was recovered by the Loyalists. I very much doubt they would leave behind an important comrade like Price and have him rot on some highway in Russia, even if he WAS dead. I think they picked his body up, intending to bury it in Britain, but somehow their chopper never made it, or something.

Dunno, I pulled that one out of my ass.

-I Think that they took him on the chopper and gave him medical attention and that it was a SEPARTE chopper and it was shot down and when a search came for him they took him and were going to execute him but malarov wanted him to rot away in jail. so left him the gulag and then 5 years later Soap and Gh -ost and lil old Worm came and saved him!

If anyone watched the Operation Kingfish vid on youtube they explain how Price came to be in the Gulag. In the video, Price leads a TF-141/Delta Force operation into the Ukraine to attack a base where they think Makarov is. However, when they storm the complex they don't find Makarov. Instead they see that he's hunting the remaining members of Price's team from MW1. The room that all the intel is in then blows up and we next see the team running to their extraction point. In this part Soap is wounded by an RPG (this is how he gets the scar over his eye). Price stays behind to provide cover fier while the others load Soap into the chopper. Crap majorly hits the fan next when the AC-130 that's providing air support is shot down and the Russians begin advancing on the LZ. The chopper pilot then begins to take off (all the while Ghost is pleading with him to stay pick up Price). Price orders the pilot to take off and he does so. at this point Price runs out of ammunition for his M4 and switches to his side arm. He's then wounded several times by the oncoming Russians and is taken prisoner. And that would be how Price ends up in the Gulag in MW2. Here's the video if you want to see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afs8lcfBY7Q&feature=channel_video_title

The fanon section

So what is the point of (essentially) telling people "Hay people on forums think this Price and an earlier guy named Price are totally related!" If it's not probable, as the this section says, then it's not even worth mentioning. --FFN 15:53, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

Price in the Gulag

It is highly possible that the injuries sustained in Game Over required him to be hospitalized in a Russian hospital. Possibly long enough for the government shift to the ultranationalists to take place, who, as mentioned in the article, imprisoned him for being the "murderer" of Zakhaev, which could have a public rallying affect.

im thinking that since he helped kill Zakheav, he was a crimminal in russia. the gulag might have been a safehouse but than it was taken over by ultranatiolists. 17:00, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Based on..

Is it me or does he look like the guy Ken that is in the real S.A.S ?

He has the same moustache,does anyone else think so? Mat.T 16:09, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I reckon he looks like Captain Dick Arthur, who led one of the SAS teams during the Iranian Embassy Siege. Corporal Morgan, RRoS 21:33, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Incarceration

Bit of intelligent discussion here - in the Modern Warfare 2 Launch party video (or one of them) Billy Murray says that Price has been locked up for "2 years" + at the end of the game (or close to) it says on the pre-mission briefing while loading that Price is a "former TF141 leader (substitute leader for x word thats the one im unsure of)

This proves that TF141 was created within 3 years (at a maximum) of CoD4 finishing. This also means Price was a former Captain before being locked up in the Gulag.

Someone edit the wiki with this info please? 86.158.105.156 02:37, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

The most it said was former SAS Captain, nothing about the 141. CAW4 18:35, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

I'm the above poster who made this little attempt to create info - in the loading screen of ENDGAME - it actually says after it detects Price's voice and he says a few lines. The data readout in the bottom left corner says that he was "Former Specialist - Task Force 141" AFTER it says he was a former SAS captain - thereby implying he was in TF141 as well before being imprisoned - I am looking at the loading screen RIGHT NOW to confirm this. Now will a registered user update the wiki based on my first post - confirmed info IN GAME & from Voice actor. Thankyou --86.158.105.156 23:40, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Lost most of his sanity?

I'm not sure I agree with the segment that Price 'lost most of his sanity' in the Gulag. Sure, he was (understandably) a bit trigger happy and pissed, but he as sane and badass as ever. Him putting his gun to Roach is pretty understandable considering a whole bunch of heavily armed dudes busted in his cell and he probably didn't know the hell why. Even when Soap intervened, Price pretty much went "...Oh. Whoops!" and helped you without a hitch. He doesn't come across as having lost any of his sanity or edge.--Doop. 10:03, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

you people are way too worried about all this stuff, my answer here is simple... Infinity Ward are probably using this gap in the story line as DLC later in 2010 and it will more than likely explain the events that got Price locked up! See how simple that was? 86.140.140.32 15:38, January 2, 2010 (UTC) HkD aRrMaGeDoN

War Criminal

• It is strange that Price is labelled as a War Criminal so late in the game, he detonates the nuke wiping out the ISS but then debriefs with Shepherd and the U.S. government about the next course of action. If indeed this was put on his rap sheet when Shepherd labeled him a traitor the only way he wouldn't be arrested immediately after the fact is if he was pardoned due to the nuke helping the war effort, if he was pardoned then it logically can't be part of his rap sheet. The killing of Shepherd's men and the destruction of, no doubt dozens, their highly expensive equipment was more likely what classified him as a war criminal.

So Price is being pursued because he and Soap destroyed costly military equipment? I doubt it. Shadow Company probably blew through more equipment just trucking around Afghanistan and training than anything Price could've done. I mean, Makarov wanted Soap and Price dead, so did obviously Shepherd. It's pretty obvious Shepherd was going to have the two eliminated after they went after Makarov's safehouses. Roach and Ghost met their fates that way, it's pretty safe to say Price was meant for it too. Is it alright if I make changes to affect this? And no, I'm not signing my posts.

price is one of the most powerful call of duty character in call of duty history hes in many call of duty games.in call of duty 1 he gets killed on a level where your on a german battleship.call of duty modern warfare they say he died but in call of duty modern warfare 2 you see him in the level the gulag and he was a prisoner then thats it.

British and Scottish?!?

"Fifteen years prior to the events of Modern Warfare, Price held the rank of Lieutenant (in the British and Scottish armed forces) in the 22^nd SAS Regiment"

I notice the main article is locked for editing but...Scotland is in Britain! Britain is not England...just like the Union Jack isn't the flag of England.

Well, in America, we commonly(and incorrectly) associate 'Britain' with only England. (super-noob) February 22, 2010.

It also works the other way, with "England" beign used to describe the whole of Great Britain. Sgt. Jon Rose 10:42, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

As a Brit myself, I'll explain. The outside world refers to the United Kingdom as Britain. But Britain encompasses England, Northern Ireland, The Republic of Ireland, Scotland & Wales, wheras the United Kingdom only encompasses England, Northern Ireland, Wales & Scotland. Think of them as "States" within the United Kingdom. You wouldn't be called a Californian soldier, you'd be called an American soldier, In just the same way that Welsh, Irish, Scottish, English soldiers are referred to as British soldiers. JakCurse 17:43, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, the Rep. of Ireland is NOT part of Britain anymore, we're a fully independent nation. Sgt. S.S. 19:37, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I know this is years old, but it's bugging me anyway so I'll still say what I had to say. He didn't mean it was part of the UK, but he was still wrong, Ireland was never part of Britian (which is a geographic desciption only, not a political one) but it was part of the UK, and as your rightly said the Republic of Ireland isn't any longer. Northern Ireland is still part of the UK, but it isn't and never was part of Britian. Britian is the actual island that contains the countries of England, Scotland and Wales. Ireland is the island that contains the countries of The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland together form the soveriegn state of The United Kingdom. Citizens of the United Kingdom are most officially refered to as Brits and British - including citizens of Northern Ireland, even though they don't technically live in Britian. However less officially - but much more commonly - people will refer to themselves by the individual country name, e.g. English, Scottish, Welsh, etc. The exception is Northern Ireland, which for turbulent reasons an individual might refer to themselves as Irish or British depending on various factors, including religion and ancestry, with a Catholic more likely to call themselves Irish and a Protestant British.

So in summary: Britian = the island on the right; Ireland = the island on the left; The Republic of Ireland = large southern part of Ireland; Northern Ireland = smaller, northern part of Ireland; England/Scotland/Wales = the three countries that constitute the island of Britian; The United Kingdom (UK) = the sovereign state and political entity made up from the countries of England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland; British = more "official" term for describing the nationality of a citizen of the UK; English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish = the less official but more common way for someone to describe their nationality.

Hopefully people can refer to this if in doubt over this issue. --85.211.151.121 11:06, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Brit here as well. I believe the confusion about Britain and Ireland may come from the controversial and disputed name: "British Isles". I believe that you will find that many in Ireland will not consider that name correct. By that name, however, some people in UK will consider Ireland part of the British Isles. The large island to the right is actually referred to as Great Britain.

On his page, there is a picture that says "Captain Price in his early days of the SAS." That should be removed or re-captioned because that is the beard the Captain Price has in MW2. Cpl. Dunn 02:34, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

So it's impossible for someone to grow a beard, shave it and then re-grow it twenty years later? Peter Griffen Boy^{Radio Operator}

Rank of the regular SAS-soldiers

Isn't it so that regular SAS-soldiers can never achieve a higher rank than sergeant, and that officers (lieutenants and captains) have a maximum serving time of 3 years before they are replaced?

This makes it impossible for Price and Soap to be SAS-regulars, but it is possible that Price was a regular during All ghillied up, and that he later left the SAS and came back to do his years as a commanding officer in CoD4.

The same case could be made for Soap, that he has now returned to the SAS to serve his 3 years as a captain because it is good for your military career to have served as a CO in the SAS. March 2 2010 14:32 CET

Response: You can commission at any time during your career in the British Military; Based on merits or qualifications. They could easily have wanted to start out in the ranks then commission later in their careers (As a commissioned officers job is a lot less action packed outside of SF than a regular soldiers).

Shooting down helicopter?

When Cpt.Price does that he shoots the rotor, so i don't believe it was a strange thing at all.South650 20:39, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Shooting the rotor will not do much damage to a helicopter, it will only cause visual damage like holes but the helicopter will still fly fine, unless you shoot all of the blades off with possibly 2 clips of an ak47 each. The holes do not affect the helicopters flying as it is the edge of the blade that propels it upwards. - anonymous 1620, May 11, 2010 (GMT+8)

I think he shot the engine, not the rotor.thats why he asks soap to steady the zodiac Juggernauter 08:28, May 11, 2010 (UTC)Juggernauter

Well shooting the engine wouldn't have that kind of loud noise as it fell down, it would simply just slowly loose altitude and eventually land(or crash). Traditional bullets or even AP rounds wouldn't penetrate an engine considering its more than an inch thick of steel. Then again, this is a game where cars can explode and nukes can be launched without detonation keys and two physical keys (price launched the sub's nukes). Also, why is it "Single handedly shooting down an enemy attack helicopter with nothing but an sniper rifle."? shouldn't it just be "a sniper rifle" (its under "Known for")? - same anonymous 1639, May 11, 2010

This is also a game that has ICBMs and SLBMs launched at the US (twice), where the MDA (Missile Defense Agency) would surely have had a defense in place so neither of those missles would actually have been able to become close enough to the Eastern seabord for anything to happen. It is also the game where an EMP caused by the SLBM's detonation would under actual physics would not cause the ISS to be destroyed. Then again, it is just a game, where like many other games, there are many rules that are bent and broken for the greater good of entertainment and enjoyment. Attack Rhino 10:16, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Price VS. Shepherd

Price and John McAleese

COD4 - Pripyat Mission - Radiation Impossibilty

It is impossible that Price had a mission in Pripyat without radiation Problems in the future, due to the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident (AKA Battle of Chernobyl) that took place in Chernobyl, Ukraine (170 kilometers away from Pripyat) which released radioactive matter 500 times as much as the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb and affected both Pripyat (very potently) and also isolated places in northern Europe due to radioactive gases moved by the winds. In addition, neither in COD 4 nor MW2 any chrachter mentions Price's radiation problems, even though having many good opportunities (for instance, When in the mission intro of "The Gulag" General Shepherd could have ordered captain MacTavish to take care of Price's radiation problems).

Yeah, about your theory. Nobody cares. This is the Call of Duty wiki for Call of Duty. It doesn't matter if that would be true or not, Call of Duty is NOT realistic. Yes, Price may get bowel cancer when he's 72. Also, there are tours of Pripyrat that last much longer than the amount of time Price and Macmillan spent there and they don't die of radiation poisoning. Also, sign your posts.

Price in connection to Black Ops

So I found an intel in BO thas talks about a joint op, (op-40) Mason, Hudson and some other things. One part says that the SAS have assigned an Jonathan (last name is censored) as the lead operator.

"Though inordinately young for such a role, both MI-6 and SAS have ensured us that he is a veritable prodigy..."

Could this be John (Jonathan?) Price? Would the timeline with MW and MW2 make this possible?? G00N3R 23:02, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

I would have to agree with you on this. If you read the full page it is actually an assasination mission to kill, implied, Mason, Weaver, and Hudson. While Treyarch is not Infanity Ward, I would not see a reason that they could not use the characters in Modern Warfare's storyline. David Shoop 07:36, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

How old is Price

00:28, December 23, 2010 (UTC)Mexican runrPrice is already too old for the SAS in 2016, If this was Price, he would be older than 60. One theory is that it is the Captain Price from Call Of Duty 2. But the intel describes him as "young". One other theory is that it could be Jonathan Mason from the movie, The Rock. He was a British SAS soldier, he served around the time the intel gave, and his last name is 6 characters long.

The last name is supposed to be five letters long. Anyway, both John Price and this Jonathan Mason has last names with five letters. And also, why would Treyarch bring in a character from a movie they did not participate in at all? Ewil 4 life, 19:18, January 11 2011 (UTC)

dont overthink this, the simple fact you believe this is Price is all Treyarch would need for you to go on. its fan service for those who notice it, if they meant to keep track of time then some of Black Ops weapons wouldnt be there. Jason Avery, 12:25, February 9th 2011

Bravo Six is not a Refrence

HIs callsign being Bravo Six is because he is the Six (command) element of Bravo Team. Like John Clark is Rainbow Six because he is in command of Rainbow. In Platoon The CPT's callsign is Bravo Six because he was in command of Bravo Company. (~~Remy~~)

Price's Headline Quote

The title quote for Captian Price is incomplete, the full quote is thus:

"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is it's last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned, outnumbered, out of our minds; on a suicide mission. But the sand and rocks here, stained by thousands of years of warfare...they will remember us. For this. Because of all our vast arrary of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigour in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him"

Most Appearances

So, Price has the most appearances in Call Of Duty Games, If he appears in MW3, right? Because, techinically, you don't see soap in COD4.Zombie Dropper^Talk 17:57, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

You dont see him,because thats one of the PC you play as.

Price's languages

It seems to me that in addition to English, Price speaks Arabic and Russian. He understands Al-Asad when he's interrogating him in Safehouse; he knows the crates are written in Arabic, and if you look at the transcript for Heat, Price responds to what the Russians are saying, for example, right before he says that the Russians think they (the SAS) are a larger force than they really are, the Russians shout exactly that.

Well, I finished CoD 1,2,4 and 5 and saw Captain Price in every of them... And in fact, he die in CoD 1. You see an other Cpt Price, with the same look, in CoD 2. I just don't understand how it's possible, because CoD 1 and 2 happen in the same time. Maybe it's the same in the both, but they don't told us that he die at the end of CoD 2 ? God damn it... After what, we saw him in CoD 4, where he die... Fake. He come again in the five, you understand that he isn't dead, and you save him, and he save you, and so on, and so far...

Name

Is Price's first name John or Jonathan? Griggs refers to him as Jonathan in Deep and Hard (postgame rap), but the interpol warrant calls him John (but then again, it only calls John MacTavish "Soap"). There's also the notorious Jonathan intel piece. Any guesses? 108.27.28.142 16:47, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

MW3 please he HAS to return in MW3 even if for one mission

Captain Price just goes by John as heard in his covert conversation with his old friend and leader Captain MacMillan; however, the rap battle, Deep and Hard, reveals that his full first name is Jonathan. So, the mention in the rap battle is as true as my love for Call of Duty is.  :) Dawth Mawl 22:06, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

He will appear in MW3 because if you look at the picture with the swamp in the concept art,it's clearly him,wearing the same outfit fron Endgame

He is obviously gonna be in the game along w/ Soap, but wut the question is, wut roll do the play in? How will they fit w/ the story. I mean, all the hype right now is the action in New York, and I'm 99.9% sure he won't be in New York, so where the hell do they come in?

Zombiehunter115 16:48, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

There part might be trying to find Makarov since the U.S military is too busy defending America, and find Makarov might prove there innocence and too prove Shepherd was the bad guy and not them. So that might be it.

Reznov

Do anybody also think that Price is similar to Reznov? Their faces are very much alike, they both sport similar facial hair and they seem to have much in common in term of personality. Pay attention when he speaks, then go listen to Reznov in Black Ops, they speak of betrayal and warfare in a similar manner. Starship Troopers 21:17, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

Check this out, I think that Captain Jonathan Price is who the SAS along with Ryan Jackson send to kill Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, and Grigori Weaver. I believe that they go after him in 1976 and assuming that Price is at least 20 years old at the time, that would only make him 60 by the events that occur in MW3 in 2016. If you read the end of the Intel for Redemption in Black Ops, you see Ryan Jackson talking about the SAS sending a young soldier by the name of Jonathan and the last name is blurred out but its just enough room for five letters. Being that Price's last name is five letters and he is affiliated with the SAS...it only makes sense that it is a young version of himself that is spoken about in the file. Since we see Price alive in MW1, 2 and 3...we can assume that he completed his mission in neutralizing Mason, Hudson and Weaver. I think, that will be the story of the next Treyarch Call of Duty game.108.197.241.34 18:16, October 4, 2011 (UTC)J. Oliver

You're not the first person to claim this. Price is an Infinity Ward character, not a 3arc character. He's not going to be in any 3arc games. Raven's wing ^Talk18:23, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

True, Raven. Nothing has linked anything between Treyarch's WAW/BO and Infinity Ward MW series. It is not likely that, even if Treyarch make a game that's between BO and MW time periods, this will happen.

Trailer Analysis: TF141 Uniform

I noticed that in the trailer, at the part when Price was pulling out that drone-tank, he was wearing a TF141 uniform. Can anyone suggest where he would be at that part? My suggestion is that the enemies (probably Spetsnaz, or Makarov's men) attacked the safehouse that was mentioned by Nikolai at the end of MW2.

MW3: A thing that bugged me...

I find problematic that Price, after he was the most wanted "criminal" for the Interpol like they tell us in MW2, now one or two months later participes in a joint operation with the Delta Force to save the President of Russia... It´s make no sense to me. Please someone can explain me or even try to made a logical explanation to this? Excuse for the bad english, tought.

Cpt. Meyers 05:24, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

A small part of Delta force co-oped with TF141 (with price inside) in Operation Kingfish, so they (Sandman and Frost) knew Price. It is possible that only the Delta force were officially sent to save the President, and the disavowed TF141 came to assist them, while Overlord didn't know of any outside help to Delta force.GibbedGuy 11:20, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Article picture

Why do we still keep this ugly grey dossier picture from MW2, while there could be a lot better screen from MW3 showing his real face?

dewXP screw-up

Since the trivia page is pissing and moaning about how Price doesn't use the CM901 or the MSR in MW3, allow me to clarify: The CM901 is visually similar to the M4A1 from MW2, which Price uses in Endgame. The MSR is the reincarnation of the Intervention from MW2, and Price uses that in Just Like Old Times. So, Mountain Dew is using the weapons he most recently began a level with. Everyone happy? - TurdFerguson 213, 21:53, December 3, 2011

Death at the end of MW3

I've not seen this discussed much, but it's pretty clear to me that Price dies at the end of MW3. He's bleeding heavily from the fall through the glass, and the screen repeatedly goes blurry before fading to black at the end. It's possible he survives, but I think the intent of the game's producers is to at least suggest that he died at the end. Shouldn't this be part of his bio? Stormkith 23:16, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

No, because it's speculation. Raven's wing ^Talk23:18, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Per Raven's Wing, and besides, to me at least, it's fairly obvious he didn't die. The screen fading to black is how nearly every mission ends in Call of Duty. Also, Price didn't keel over or anything, so are we meant to believe he died smoking a cigar. 23:32, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Per AR. http://i.imgur.com/KUDLq.png 23:36, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Per AR he is obviously alive. (Like Soap is obviously dead) Redskin-2623:49, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

So, the massive bleedout and the blurred vision means nothing? I find it hard to believe that a game so intricately detailed and plotted would show the pool of blood pouring from Price's body and the blurred vision for no reason whatsoever. Speculation or no, it's not as if there's no reason to believe that he died. Looking at the evidence, it's actually a stronger conclusion than assuming that he survived. The actual evidence from the game at the very least implies that he was wounded enough to pass out from blood loss. For anyone familiar with heavy bleeding, they know that death follows very shortly after loss of consciousness. Stormkith 20:56, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

MW3's plot is intricately detailed? lol no. But, it is speculation, and there's no evidence that he died. If you look at his reflection, there's no blood on his face, and you can easily bleed that much from a simple nose bleed. Conqueror of all Zombies 21:00, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, because when you're dying, you obviously MUST start to smoke. He's alive, man. ShepardLtCommander 21:02, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

You think that's from a nose bleed? There is a great deal more blood pooled around him (and the pool is growing as he drags himself away) than you could get from any wound save one that is almost certainly lethal. As for smoking as he's dying: what else would he do? Honestly, I think most of the people arguing against this haven't paid very close attention to the final scene of the game. Here, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx1TXpMzt8Y --- Start at about 2:05, and look at the pool of blood. Then watch as the scene repeatedly blurs. That's not an unintended effect. His vision is blurring from blood loss.

Granted, I think most people here will be unconvinced unless one of the game's writers comes forward and states otherwise. Most of you are far too used to the standard action movie in which the hero survives through the end. In this case, the game is far more meaningful and poignant (especially that last shot of the photo of Price, Soap, Ghost, and Sandman at the end) if Price doesn't survive. That's obviously just my opinion, but anyone arguing that he did survive needs to pay much closer attention to the game's ending. Stormkith 07:28, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Soap survived falling down a waterfall, being stabbed and stomped by Shepherd, and made it to Northern India from Afghanistan. I highly doubt Price is dead, or the developers would have made it clear he did. 21:10, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

It's kind of like asking if soap survived at the end of 2, until mw3 came out all you could say for sure is he has a huge hole in his chest and is being taken somewhere presumably for help (da, i know a place xD) , price is laying in, incase no one noticed, the biggest pile of glass, and as much blood as when soap was bleeding out. the sirens give price's survival a bit of hope but we won't know til mw4...same with battlefield 3, is the main character going to survive after countless beatings or did he just keel over once the job was done? one word suspence. if there was none it wouldn't be mw4 thats coming next they would need a new story and set of characters. personally believe that was the end of that storyline. ~kk~ 03/06/2012 —Unsigned comment was added by 90.203.217.206

Price joins SAS agian?

Maybe after dust to dust MacMillan Wallcroft and Burns come to help Price because his name was cleared after down the rabbit hole so he might join SAS agian anyone agree.?

Though it would be good to see another Call Of Duty with Price in i think that Price would propbably retire after Dust To Dust, after he lost Soap i think that he wouldn't want to join back but i could be wrong.

CoD Heroes stats

Stats for hero units are:

Attack Damage, Attack Rate, Attack Range, Accuracy, Critical Chance, Move, Camouflage, and Aura Range; we're just missing the latter two. Is there a way to add them into the info box/template? I'm finding it difficult to do this on my own without prior knowledge of how to edit the newly updated templates.

Price's height

As far as I know, Price's height is never stated in-game, but despite that, his height is stated here as 6' without giving a source for that number. Could someone tell me where these numbers are coming from?

Quotes

I doubt this is the only example on the wiki, but how come the quotes are based off the in-game subtitles instead of the actual speech? In the first quote in the biography section, lieutenant is spelled how it is in the game's subtitles, but it's not like subtitles are somehow intrinsically connected to speech, so why isn't it just lieutenant? -- Dr. Porter (Talk|Contribs) 08:06, October 5, 2016 (UTC)

No objections? -- Dr. Porter (Talk|Contribs) 21:57, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

"Please do not change to "Lieutenant": the misspelling is written verbatim from the source material." - stated if you hover over the spelling.

Repeating what I said on my talk page: I am well aware of the note. My argument was that it shouldn't matter that the game's subtitles spelled it incorrectly, it should only matter what Price said. Like I said above, subtitles aren't intrinsically connected to speech. -- Dr. Porter (Talk|Contribs) 23:54, December 2, 2016 (UTC)

John Price (MW 2019) vs John Price (MW trilogy)

I was thinking, should we make a different page for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)?

Because if we look at it, John Price in Modern Warfare:

• Doesn't look like "Classic" Price.
• Has a different voice actor.
• Has a different life/story in a different world.
• (Probably not a 1:1 copy/same personality as the original Price)

Besides the John Price page is already dense and crowded. I think it would make everything easier if we keep the two characters separated.

That could probably be extended to the all "Modern Warfare" series. Separating the old trilogy with the new reboot.

Let me know what you think. Kalinine (talk) 09:16, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

I'd say aye on that. Big enough difference to give a different page. Twig _(Talk) 09:20, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

No, it's a negative from me, at least for now. Just make tabbers for the Original and the Reboot, similarly to John F. Kennedy's article. Ultimate94ninja ^{talk · contribs} 10:16, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

Then shouldn't we also put Price (World War II) on this page? The reboot is an entirely different timeline, therefore it's a different character.

Come on, you can't compare a character from the WWII era to one from Modern Warfare; the difference between the WWII Price and the MW Price is undeniably more drastic than original MW vs. MW 2019. I'd rather wait until we get more details about the campaign (including the years in which it's taking place), and then we'll make a determination. But even then, we're still in the MW universe, and not drastically different universes like MW vs. Black Ops or MW vs. WWII. Not to mention that according to news, more MW characters such as Soap are likely to return, and the proposal would entail creating separate pages for them as well. And like I said, I proposed tabbers, which make a clear distinction between the original and reboot (meaning we aren't mentioning both of them in the same biography section). For the record, we previously made tabbers for Kennedy, McNamara and Castro based on the BO/Zombies timelines as opposed to screwing things up and splitting them into different pages, so let's just be consistent. Ultimate94ninja ^{talk · contribs} 10:35, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

It's already been confirmed that this is a reboot. Meaning it's a completely different timeline. So comparing a WW2 Price to a MW Price is a completely legitimate comparison. Also the tabbers makes sense since those are characters within the same game but different modes. This is a different character in a different game in a different timeline. Even without more details, we have enough information to sufficiently say they are different characters.

No, it's not an even remotely legitimate comparison, considering the large gap of decades between the WWII and MW Price, and the fact that one doesn't even have is first name revealed whereas the other one is John. As for those BO characters, yes, they're in the same game, but the difference is even larger given the fact that there's one timeline for complete fantasy involving undeads, magic, etc., and one for a normal campaign with human characters and traditional war. Ultimate94ninja ^{talk · contribs} 11:27, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

From the naming policy itself it states the following: "If a weapon is named the same, looks the same, but functions in a drastically different way, split". While Price is not a weapon, it has enough hallmarks to pass this section of policy. He is named the same (although I've not heard anyone call him "John" yet), looks similar yet appears in a different timeline. And we need to forget that this game shares a name with another one. It may be a reboot, but the fact it's called Modern Warfare does not mean it has any link with CoD 4. If they decided they no longer wanted to call it "Modern Warfare" but kept everything else the same, would we still be considering keeping him on the same page? They've brought Price back because he's an iconic character and has been since CoD 1. But he is not the same Price from CoD 4-MW3. As such splitting is the most logical choice. If need be we can take this to AFD.

We know MW 2019 campaign takes place at least in 2019, as the mission set in London takes place in October 2019: "The first campaign mission took place in October 2019 in London. (Yes, this game is literally a modern game, set in the current year.) / The mission takes place in October 20, 2019.".
Taylor Kurosaki and Jacob Minkoff repeatedly stated that MW 2019 doesn't take place in the same universe as the old trilogy. They even stated returning characters could be totally different characters from race to sex, etc.
The tabbers work fine as well, I was simply proposing a way to differentiate the two characters. Kalinine (talk) 11:12, August 28, 2019 (UTC)
