Tensions were high within Russia as ultranationalists and terrorist group known as The Inner Circle were attempting to overthrow the Russian government. Meanwhile in the middle east, Khaled Al-Asad was also in the midst of the civil war, overthrowing the president and starting another war in which the United States got involved in. Shortly after training a new SAS recruit named Johnny MacTavish, Bravo Squadron became involved after discovering an ICBM being transported on a cargo ship belonging to Al-Asad.

#### Operation Kingdom Come

After battling for days, a location was confirmed in the capital city and all US Forces began converging on the location. Once again the plan failed and Al Asad was nowhere do be found, but multiple tons of explosives were found in the building. This explosion was one of the largest non-nuclear explosion in history, resulting is thousands of injured or killed US soldiers, one of which being Jeffery 'Sandman' Pierce.

Late into the ambush only 4 men were left standing, Price, Garrick, Soap and Griggs. The four soon would be injured by an RPG impacting the bridge nearby their cover. Price, barley conscious, was able to briefly make contact with Kyle before Imran approached the bridge and shot Kyle in the head. Price is able to slide his M1911 to John 'Soap' MacTavish, which he shot and killed Imran Zahkiev with. The death of Kyle would lead to Price becoming hyper focused on is work, and determined to fully kill The Inner Circle.
