Captain John Price is one of the most famous characters in the Call of Duty series. Many fans liked his image, principles and outlook on life. You can find out the full story of this hero, as well as read about all the events that are associated with him in the games of this line, in the material presented below.
Job placement
Many believe that John Randolph Price is the very captain of the Call of Honor game series, but in fact he is a famous writer. He wrote the world famous bestselling book The Code of Jesus.
The middle name of the British military John Price is not known. He entered the service around 1980, and five years later he received the rank of sergeant for successful cooperation with the Soviet special forces called Pennant. In the 90s, he was appointed lieutenant and sent to the abandoned Ukrainian town of Pripyat to eliminate ultranationalist Imran Zakhaev. The operation was commanded by Captain McMillan, but she did not go according to plan. The detachment was discovered, and they had to break through the posts of the enemy. Price carried the commander all the way on himself, since he could not walk with his wounded leg. For this, he received a promotion.
Further combat operations
The character referred to in the article has nothing to do with the John Deere company and the price list for their agricultural machinery. Due to the similarity in the names, some people get confused. It is worth remembering that the captain did not have a middle name. After being assigned to command the Bravo detachment, he participated in various operations, but this is not shown in the Call of Honor series. On screens, he appears only in the first part of Modern Warfare, when he instructs the protagonist John McTavish. Together with the Bravo detachment, Price performs an operation in the Bering Strait. First, they clean the Estonian ship with nuclear warheads, and then they remove the necessary documents from the Arab container. Their operation is interrupted by fighters, which begin active shelling of the ship. The price list for John Deere parts would be useless in this case, even if it existed in the game, because the ship was completely destroyed. The captain leaves the ship with the team, and from the documents he learns about the Russian Nicholas. That is why the Bravo group goes to Russia.
Torn operation
John Price with his confidants, including John McTavish, goes to Russia to the leader of the loyalists Komarov. He decided not to immediately report information about Nicholas, so that the British would help repel the attack on the village. Gus uses his methods to beat out the data, after which they fly to the meeting place. The nationalists bring down the helicopter, and the surviving members of the Bravo group have to break through on their own to the evacuation site. Nikolai also managed to avoid death, and in gratitude he tells the captain about Khaled al-Assad. It was his group responsible for the explosion of a nuclear warhead that claimed the lives of thirty thousand American soldiers. Commander John Price reassembles his group for a trip to Azerbaijan. Upon arrival in a small town, the Bravo team makes a breakthrough through al-Assad militias and gets to it. He says that he did not make an explosion, but suddenly the phone rang. The voice of that same Imran Zakhaev sounded in it. In a fit of anger, Price kills a terrorist, and then talks about the events in Pripyat.
Ultranationalists in action
Captain John Price, after a difficult evacuation from Azerbaijan, understands that they need to become the leader of the ultranationalists. To do this, he decides to hunt for the son of Imran Victor. The information received about the trip of the motorcade of Zakhaev Jr. allows you to organize an ambush. With the help of the Bravo joy, the American military and the loyalists from Russia, they set up an ambush. Dressing up in enemy clothes was a great undertaking, but Victor managed to escape. Active pursuit with shootings began. Allied forces surrounded Zakhaev’s son in a five-story building and drove him to the roof. McTavish was supposed to make an interception, but Victor understood his position. He did not see a way to escape, and therefore committed suicide. For the leader of the ultranationalists, the loss of a son became a signal for more active action. He began to threaten the United States with nuclear attacks, and the government sounded the alarm.
Threat elimination
After the threat to the United States, John Price once again with a group of "Bravo" goes on a risky operation. They are sent to the ultranationalist command center, from where the launch of nuclear missiles should be carried out. They manage to break through and enter the clearance codes at a time when the warheads were already over the Atlantic Ocean. The failure of the attack on the US forced all ultra-nationalist forces to throw on the attack of the Bravo detachment. They hardly get out of the command center, find vehicles, but even then the enemies do not leave them. A huge amount of equipment goes to Price with McTavish. They shoot back, but failure awaits them on the bridge. The path to retreat was cut off, but reinforcements did not arrive. Zakhaev himself comes to Price, who begins to beat him. The captain managed to throw a gun to the protagonist, and McTavish kills the guard of the ultranationalist leader and himself. After this, Price is saved by doctors one step from death. They arrived by helicopter to evacuate the remaining Bravo fighters.
The beginning of the second part
John Reynolds Price (a little-known actor), due to the consonance of names, is also often confused with the British captain from the game “Call of Honor”.
The character of Captain Price appeared in the second part of the Modern Warfare line. It is worth noting that the death of Imran Zakhaev did not become the collapse of the ultranationalists. They seized power in Russia, and again the threat loomed over the world. Price and Soup are back in service, replenishing the British SAS special forces , and after some time they are being thrown into the allied detachment OTG-141. They, along with the Delta fighters called Metal, take part in Operation Kingfish. The aim of the whole plan was to capture the terrorist of the same name, but the Allies failed to fulfill the condition. As a result of the failure, John Price was captured and sent to the new GULAG, founded by ultranationalists in Petropavlovsk. For three years he stayed there until 2016 and the start of World War III.
Unexpected betrayal
After being released from the Gulag, Price performs an operation in Petropavlovsk and launches a missile with an electromagnetic radiation in the direction of the United States. He was with his group in Afghanistan when the commander of the military, General Shepard, committed treason. He kills Roach with Ghost, but Price manages to save Sope by helicopter when he escaped from the now enemy soldiers. Now the former captain was on the wanted list with his only comrade, but they did not stop fighting. After a sabotage at a base in Afghanistan, he and McTavish begin a deadly boat race along a mountain river after General Shepard. With a successful shot, John shot down the general’s helicopter, but he himself appeared along with the main antagonist of the first part on the shore. At this time, Soup continued to pursue their main enemy, but in a battle against superior forces he was stabbed in the chest with a knife. Price arrived in time and began the battle with Shepard. At this time, Soup removed the edged weapons from his body and killed the traitor.
The beginning of the third part
Ultranationalist Makarov is not going to give up, and it is precisely the confrontation with him that the third part of the Modern Warfare line is devoted to. Price here first appears at a time when their base is being attacked by the enemy forces of Russian soldiers. The captain, along with Yuri from the loyalists, rescues everyone, including the operated Sope. John Price's next operation was to intercept the cargo in Sierra Leone, but the plan failed. Instead, he and Nikolai take a helicopter assault in an African town on the local terrorist leader Varabe. He gives them a tip to Prague, where Makarov should hold a meeting. With other fighters, the captain goes there. During the next operation, they are helped by the leader of the local militia Komarov, who is captured. Price nearly died from explosives tied to his body, but Soup was badly wounded. He talked about the fact that Yuri knows Makarov. In the basement of the hotel, John puts a gun to Yuri’s head and makes him tell the whole truth.
Recent operations
Captain McMillan found out where Makarov was hiding, and so Price and Yuri went to this castle. They learn that the leader of the ultranationalists is terrorizing Russian President Vorshevsky by capturing his daughter. Makarov demands the issuance of codes for nuclear warheads, and in the meantime, Price has already warned the Americans about the need to save President’s daughter Alena. Yuri and Price still caught up with the main ultranationalist, but already in Dubai, where he was hiding in a luxury hotel. The heroes put on armored suits that helped make a full breakthrough through the crowds of enemies.
Of course, John Randolph Price's quotes are known to the general public. For example, statements such as:
If you consider your work, your employer, your spouse, or your investment as a source of income, you are closing the real Source.
A heart filled with gratitude raises us to a higher level of consciousness - and soon we will become witnesses of reality shining through an illusion.
But Captain Price also said amusing things. He always defended the position of honor and peace, despite all the dangers to life.
