"Kamarov's given us intel about the location of Zakhaev's son. Get our hands on him, and we can "persuade" him to give up daddy's hiding place."

Plot[]

The mission begins with the player in control of Soap, along with other SAS, Russian Loyalists and Marine forces proceeding silently towards an enemy checkpoint. On Captain Price's signal, they take out all the guards, then change into the enemies' clothing and wait for Victor Zakhaev to arrive. When he arrives, the team takes down the Ultranationalists, but Victor makes his escape, leaving John "Soap" MacTavish and Griggs to chase him down.

He runs through an adjoining town where Ultranationalists cover him as he flees. He runs into a partially destroyed building while Soap's team gets support from an American Helicopter, callsign Vulture One-Six, to take out enemies and track Victor through the building.

Once they wipe out all the enemies in the building, they corner Victor Zakhaev on the roof and attempt to restrain him; he then takes the opportunity to shoot himself. As the mission ends, Gaz tells Price of his disappointment, and remarks that "His son was our only lead, sir." Price, however, correctly replies, "Forget it. I know the man, he won't let this go unanswered. Let's go."

Trivia[]

Blackhawk firing missiles COD4

Vulture One-Six firing rockets.

  • The UH-60, Vulture One-Six, will fire rockets at the enemy reinforcements during the convoy ambush, despite the fact that it clearly does not mount rocket pods.
  • The position of Kamarov before the ambush is randomly generated each playthrough.
  • When Victor Zakhaev shoots himself, a blood cloud appears around his head before the shot is fired.
  • If the player has the "A Bad Year" cheat on when Victor commits suicide, he will not turn into tires until his death animation is over.
  • If one destroys the red and blue cars that are in front of the guard tower in the first part of the mission, they will be rebuilt in the second part.
  • It is possible to have an unusable M249 SAW drop from the apartments to the ground in the parking lot after Vulture One-Six has cleared out all the enemies defending Zakhaev's son.
  • If the player uses the "noclip" cheat in the UH-60 helicopter, the gunner of the helicopter is an Ultranationalist soldier.
  • Upon breaking the neck of the dog in the junkyard, Soap's arms are not clothed in the Russian clothing he wore at the time, but instead in his regular SAS outfit.
  • At the five story building parking lot, the M249 SAW gunner pinning down the SAS can be killed if the player shoots enough into the aperture before Vulture One-Six destroys it. This will be indicated by the sandbag emplacement falling apart.
  • Flashbang has no effect on Victor.
  • If the player uses the "Zakhaev's Sons" cheat in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered before confronting Victor on the roof, he will be holding an RPG-7 instead of a M1911, and it will clip through him when he points it to his head.
    • If the cheat is enabled earlier in the mission, one of the enemies in Victor's Jeep will rapid fire an RPG-7 as if it were a different weapon.
  • At the last scene,the player can shoot Victor to end this level without penalty.
