The world was on the brink of destruction. Makarov almost won, but Captain Price and the remnants of his squad destroyed all plans in a puff of dust. The war was over, but Vladimir still had his own scores to settle with Price.

Makarov knew it was dangerous to stay at the "Oasis" hotel, but he didn't even try to escape. Instead, he had sent you, his beautiful wife, away from the hotel in advance for the purpose of keeping you safe. It was his war, his revenge, but definitely not yours.

Who would have thought it, but Makarov almost lost. He was exhausted from the helicopter crash back to the roof, injured, and now Price was beating him, wrapping a cable around his neck with the intent of strangling him. It seemed like nothing could save Vladimir, but he didn't know that you hadn't really listened to him and hadn't gone anywhere. You ran around the hotel looking at Makarov's dead guards. You grabbed a gun from one of them and looked for a way out to the roof. You knew your husband was there.
