== Plot ==
With the flight recorder wiped clean, Makarov's unable to blame the destruction of Russian Flight 761 on the ULF. As Laswell show security footage of Makarov at the airport to TF-141, Price express his regret on not killing him when he had the chance.
Back at Verdansk in 2019, the SAS - Captain Price, Soap, and Burns - head towards the stadium under General Shepherd's command to find and capture Makarov. With the stadium in chaos and civilians panicking, the team drive inside the tunnel before they found the police. However, they started executing civilians before firing at the team as they realize they're Inner Circle. Once the enemies are dead, the three proceed to the first floor before engaging more Inner Circle posing as policemen while they avoid killing any civilians. The team pushes through the stadium towards the third floor and reach the VIP lounge, where they found five paramedics and two dead bodies. A paramedic asks Soap for assistance with one of the bodies. Whether Soap helps or not, the paramedics are revealed to be Inner Circle as the team neutralize them. Soap and Price then head down to the garage while Burns stays behind to secure the explosives in the VIP lounge. 
Once they arrive at the garage, the two move forward before spotting an ambulance ahead of them. Price orders everyone inside to exit, but the ambulance started to drive as he and Soap kill the driver, causing the vehicle to flip and crash. They then open the backdoor of the ambulance and found Makarov dressed in a paramedic uniform. After securing Makarov, Soap escorts him as the two and Price head towards the tunnel's exit. Just as they are outside, a helicopter arrives with Shepherd and Ghost onboard. Soap, Price, and Ghost dispatch the remaining hostiles before escorting Makarov inside the chopper. 
While they fly away, several explosions are seen at Verdansk International Airport as the team realize that was Makarov's real target. An enraged Soap prepares to kill him, but Price convinces the Sergeant to stand down - with Makarov promising he'll be seeing them again.

==Trivia==
*The FSS Hurricane that the player uses is set to "Semi-Auto" by default.
*Makarov can be seen unloading a bag from the ambulance as Bravo Team drives through the stadium parking.
*If the player turns their back on Makarov, he will attack Soap and throw him on the floor before stomping on his face while saying "I'm here- to send- a message". This is a reference to the ending of No Russian from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
*In the Modern Warfare III PC Trailer, this mission was shown to feature a 2017 banner. This suggests that at some point, the mission was supposed to take place in 2017.
**The year 2017 can still be seen on the thumbnail for the mission in the selection menu.
*Even though Shepherd is a Lieutenant General in the mission, as seen from the three stars on his plate carrier. If the player hovers over him, his name will be displayed as "Gen. Shepherd" - suggesting that he's a General.
*The subtitle mistakenly labels the Inner Circle soldiers as "Konni Group soldier".
*Using non-lethal Tacticals on civilians will fail the mission.
*The Bryson 800 that is used by one of the Inner Circle soldiers at the section before Price and Soap takes Makarov outside of the stadium is fitted with Dragon Breath round.
