Plot [spoilers] (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2)

Nemesis! I think Shepard's task was not the US war with Russia, but its weakening and destabilization with the help of a series of terrorist attacks and bringing it to a state of 5 years ago. In short, everything was started in order to overthrow the new government objectionable to the United States and to be a "peacemaker" already on the territory of Russia.
Quote: "Shepard gives Allen very specific instructions - eliminate Makarov after completing the assignment and put all the blame on the terrorists."
I probably didn’t put it very precisely - of course, Alena was used blindly, but Shepard implied that the blame for this should be blamed on the terrorists, i.e. on the internal enemy of the new Russia and, in parallel, to ensure that the "CIA ears do not stick out." And the corpse of Makarov is evidence, like the corpse of Allen. :-)

“1) Who is in power in Russia?”
-National Socialists

"2) Who was the customer of the terrorist attack?"
-Shepard

"3) What is Makarov's role in the whole plot?"
- A mercenary who kills for money, that's all

"4) Why did they even take on Makarov? After all, was there a reason why they put a mole to him?
-Makarov, this is Shepard's pawn, but after Shepard managed to unleash a war with Russia and the USA, it was necessary to eliminate everyone who knows the true roots of the war, namely Makarov and unit 141

“5) How did the amers go to Makarov? I mean, how did they know that he did the attack?”
- Shepard brought them to him. This is part of his own plan

"6) Allen's death"
-Again, part of Shepard's plan

In the last mission, before General Shepard is about to shoot Soap, he describes the events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, namely the explosion of a nuclear bomb in the Middle East and the death of American soldiers.
This explains a lot.

I have a license from 1C, I went through the campaign once at an average level of difficulty, something I didn’t see the mission at the airport! People tell me please what is the problem!

Sorry for the stupid question! I figured it out myself - this level was cut out in localization!

yy .. but there is a pirate)

A friend bought a face from me, there is a mission at the airport.

NateR, there is a very significant difference between national socialism, nationalism (in the sense of traditional and chauvinism) and national Bolshevism. IW expects an aggressive response from the public.

1. Supporters of nationalist-minded extremists are in power. National Bolshevism. Legitimate.
The primary goal of the new government is to regain the political influence of the state lost after the collapse of the Soviet Union. By any available means.
The primary task on the way to such a bright goal is to reduce the influence of the United States.
2. Initiators - Makarov and Shepard.
It was in the interests of each of them to provoke a conflict between the United States and the Russian Federation.
3. Vladimir Makarov is an ultra-nationalist with similar goals as the official government of the Russian Federation in MW2. Similar goals as Imran Zakhaev and Khaled-Al-Assad earlier - to reduce the influence of the United States on the internal affairs of the Russian Federation and the Middle Eastern states - both Afghanistan and others not directly indicated in the plot.
For Makarov, the solution to this issue was the beginning of a direct confrontation between the Russian Federation and the United States. Provoked by him personally.
4. Shepard informed the CIA that Makarov, as an international terrorist, was acting in the interests of some unnamed persons, probably implying the Russian government. And this was part of a common plan with Makarov.
5. I have already said above that Shepard definitely informed the CIA from the very beginning, before the attack.
6. Shepard informed Makarov that his man would take part in the attack, which he himself probably financed.
After the execution, Makarov was supposed to kill Allen at the scene of his commission, thereby presenting the situation in such a way that only the US officials were to blame, who organized the attack through the power structures under their control out of hatred for the Russian Federation, the new regime and the Russian nation as a whole.
The response of the government of the Russian Federation is obvious.

Alternative:
2. The initiator is only Makarov.
Previously, Makarov worked with Shepard, having with him some, unknown to us, interests.
Shepard believed that Makarov was acting on behalf of third parties who were not named publicly throughout the storyline. That's why he sent Allen to be in the know. Makarov, having learned about this, decided to use the situation to provoke a conflict, which was subsequently beneficial not only to him, but also to Shepard himself. Makarov told Shepard that Allen was killed in the course of FSB operations, which keeps the two on a business relationship.
3. The role of Makarov - the leader of the extremist movement of the nationalist persuasion, acting solely in the interests of his nation.
4. After the change of power in the Russian Federation, US officials closely followed the state of affairs in the country.
5. Answer in point 4.
6. Makarov killed Allen after learning that Shepard was watching him. And he used the situation to frame the US. The attack was organized by Makarov for this very purpose. Personally.

PFC Allen: So Makarov is the prize?
Shepherd: Makarov's is no prize. He's a whore. A mad-dog killer for the highest bidder.
*image of an eagle soaring over the Kremlin and corresponding stars*

Makarov: The American thought he could deceive us. Then they find that body... all of the Russian will cry for war.

The game is awesome! I won't say that it's better than the first one, just more spectacular... there is no ending at all ... The thought is not finished in any way. As Ostap Bender bequeathed to us: "What are people most afraid of? That's right. Incomprehensible. More incomprehensible." I think the answers to everything will be given in the sequel and in the film! In any case, it would be nice. I went through the game 5-6 times, carefully watched and listened, all the same questions remained ... But then I found possible answers to many of them. This is how I see the picture now: - the Zakhaevites
are in power
- the terrorist attack was organized by Makarov on the instructions of Shepard and Allen was also killed on the orders of the general, because why would the general hand over the agent if he did not want his death (they are partners and their interests simply coincide. Shepard wants war, Makarov doesn’t care, he would have more money!)
- Price is in the zone definitely because during the time spent in the hospital the authorities changed, and Soap was simply simply told that he was dead so that he would not dig this topic
- Shepard killed Ghost and Roach because he knew that they might know what kind of data they downloaded and + if he started to drive on Soap and Price, then the killed would rather believe them than the general + elimination of previously unbribed specialists (an analogy with "Die Hard -2")
- Price launched rockets in order to stop the war, catch Makarov and try to explain to the world where the legs grow from, not knowing that Shepard is the main contraceptive! As for casual victims, the end justifies the means.
- Price and Soap, although British, do not serve in the SAS, but in Detachment 141. This is a collection of the best fighters FROM THE WHOLE WORLD. Therefore, Shepard and obey.
- Shepard decided to blame Makarov and the British as objectionable witnesses who, knowing the truth, could stop the war and skiff his plan!
- Makarov is an ordinary mercenary, not a politician in any way. It suits him and Shepard was fine. As a result, Shepard got his, Makarov fled. I think he will be overtaken at the end of the third part ... or maybe not :)
- the line of rangers has nothing to do with the plot, they just show the war from the inside (except for the situation with Allen)
- the American government, of course, is complete nerds here. they have a universal conspiracy under their noses, and they sell their face and like "you warned us" ...
As Winnie the Pooh said: "I think so!"

This is what is still not clear to me. How could a nuclear explosion over Washington stop the war that had already begun between the Russian Federation and the United States? After all, even judging by the game, street fighting in Washington did not stop after the launch of the rocket?

Yes, but the Russian forces were sharply reduced at the same time, the equipment was destroyed and the Americans got a chance to finish off the remaining enemies.

I think the plot is normal, but unfinished Pts ((Elementary, where did Makarov go?!

soap! You don't think that the Russians in Washington just up and surrendered!? :-) Starting to "finish off" enemies (and it is not yet known who will finish off anyone) means only the continuation of the war. I think that the Yankees, after the explosion over Washington, at least liquid crap .... after all, the war is not going somewhere far away, but here nearby in a pizzeria .... and then there's this ... :-)

dmb_87_ru, of course I don’t think, but mostly Russian equipment was in the air, and I’m willing to bet the Russians were also not weakly frightened by the explosion, and the Americans, having gathered all their strength into a fist, began to slowly push the Russians out and are already talking about attacking Moscow. It’s too early to even think about the end of the war, it has just begun and, in my opinion, will end in tears.

You don't understand a lot. What kind of victory can we talk about ...
When the ICBM generated an electromagnetic pulse, paralyzing only the equipment of both sides, even the American leadership doubted whether the US Army Rangers could continue to resist the Russian forces. Moreover, according to the Hammerdown Protocol, the Americans personally wanted to wipe out Washington, in the event that their remaining forces could not occupy especially important state institutions: “Deploy a green flame on a roof of that structure to indicate you are still combat effective. We will abort our mission on direct visual contact...”. Losses would have been between 30,000 and 50,000, according to Shepard's explanation in the introduction to the Second Sun chapter.

And in my opinion, the whole idea with a rocket from beginning to end is complete nonsense, sucked out of the middle finger. (IMHO) The fugitive Zek Price, who trampled the zone for 5 years, having no news about what was happening "in the wild", instantly orientated himself in the situation (being actually a private person, instantly somehow persuaded everyone else?) and attacked the base without an order from above nuclear submarines! I’m generally silent about the flight mission of the rocket, which he alone changed in 2 minutes ... as well as about the fact that each rocket usually carries several individually targetable warheads and which the same had to be sent somewhere ...

no, what do you want, it's just a game and that's it, you can expect good graphics, gameplay physics, but not a plot from Call of Duty

Maybe I didn’t understand something because of the hard mission at the airport? Although I played pirate, she was not.

It is because of this mission that the whole plot does not seem like the nonsense of a stoned rastaman from Jamaica. there you understand that Russia attacked America "for a reason"!

CODE has always been a purely gameplay game, where the developers didn’t pay much attention to the plot, and I advise you not to pay it.

The plot is banal. The best part of the game is the multiplayer.
Who downloaded the game - poop xD
