![]() ![]() You again play Captain Price, Soap McTavish, and other soldiers from America, Russia and Britain as they try to finally stop the supervillain, Makarov. The events of Modern Warfare 2 - particularly the dismal "No Russian" mission - have tipped the world in to all out war. ![]() The rest of the singleplayer isn't so cynical. I walked towards my family with the camera pointed in the opposite direction, killing us all while I filmed the side of a phonebox. It's crude, leering, pathetic, terribly written, and a cynical attempt to court headlines. The explosion doesn't happen until you do. You're the father of the family, filming the scene, and your wife turns to you and says, "Are you getting this?".

There's a warning message at the very start of Modern Warfare 3. The whole sequence lasts around 90 seconds, and it's brilliant.
