New Beginnings/Transcript

**Cutscene**

*A satellite shows the world in the present day (2020). The Middle East and Russia are analyzed as war breaks out in the two areas.*

Price: Right now, the world is in great shape. We have war everywhere, but that won't stop us.

Garrick: Yeah, I hear ya mate.

*Faruk Al-Bashir's profile is shown.*

Garrick: This is Faruk Al-Bashir. The second most powerful man in the middle east. Now word on the street is that he has the minerals to become the top dog out there. We're keepin' an eye on him.

Price: So, what did Baseplate say the plan was?

*Documents are shown, including profiles of Vladimir Makarov, Faruk Al-Bashir, and cargo shipments.*

Garrick: An unsanctioned operation in Moscow. Faruk seems to be collaborating with russian terrorists, so let's see if our intel is correct. Sgt. John MacTavish will be deployed with you, call him Soap.

Price: Bloody hell..

*The screen cuts out to*

*Title Card:*

**ALL OUT WAR**

**24 HOURS LATER**

**MOSCOW, RUSSIA**

*It is raining heavily in Moscow, and the camera pans into the view of two soldiers ontop of a roof with snipers.*

Price: Alright..let's get this done.

Soap: You lead the way, sir. It's my first time doing this.

*The snipers adjust their scopes.*

Price: You're lucky you have me, mate. Or else you wouldn't of made it this far.

*Suddenly, both snipers are hit swiftly in a synchorized effort, with the camera now panning out to a rooftop across the way; revealing Price and Soap. Price checks his watch, and chuckles.*

Price: Showtime.

*Text appears*

**JOHN "SOAP" MACTAVISH - SPECIAL AIR SERVICE**

**NEW BEGINNINGS**

**28 DEC 2020, 2000**

*The duo get off of their sniping position, and walk down the stairs they came up.*

Price: Mission is simple. Engage only when you have to, and get as much intel out of Makarov and Al-Bashir's conversation.

Soap: Why can't we just kill them?

Price: Then we'd have an entire country hunting us down. We can't start a war too soon.

*The two exit the building into an alleyway, where three guards are; facing the opposite direction.*

Price: I got the one on the left. Pick your shots, and we'll take em down together.

*The two fire, and take out all three. If Soap killed the one on the left:*

Price: You have a thing for not listening to orders, huh?

*If Soap killed the one in the middle or right:*

Price: Bloody good job, mate.

*The two keep moving closer and closer to the compound taking out any hostiles that they need to and avoiding being caught.*

Price: Once we get there, plant the listening device and we'll see if they're here.

Soap: Copy.

*The two reach the target location.*

Price: Alright, I'll get you covered. Get that listening device down.

*Soap gets the listening device planted, and suddenly; Makarov, Faruk and Makarov's bodyguard Igor Mikailskovich walk around the corner.*

Price: Shite!

*Price grabs Soap and drags him into cover.*

Soap: That was close..

Makarov: *(To Faruk)* Why is it you want to create an alliance between our groups? Peace..power?

Faruk: *(To Makarov)* We must combine our efforts to attack the west. I'm tired of our middle eastern countries being home to western powers. We will not be enslaved any longer.

*The two walk around the next corner.*

Price: Move the listening device.

Soap: Yes sir.

*Soap gets the listening device and moves it closer to where the trio went.*

Soap: That'll do..I hope..

*Eventually, the conversation picks up again.*

Faruk: Look -- I have low resources, my men are labelled as terrorists and insurgents! I need..I need some sort of upgrade!

Makarov: *(To Faruk)* How about this; I give you all the resources you want, and you take over the Middle East in an old-fashoned Military Coup? Hm?

Faruk: *(To Makarov)* That'll be..T-That'll be excellent!

Makarov: Good! We strike on new-years.

Igor: This is how it begins.

*The trio's conversation comes to an abrupt end when they discover the bodies.*

Soap: Wait -- Why did they stop?!

Price: They found your fuckin' bodies! Weapons hot.

*Soap throws away his sniper, and equips an MP7. Faruk is heard shouting out orders through a loudspeaker to his insurgents.*

Faruk: *(In Arabian)* THERE ARE INTRUDERS! SOMEONE GET ME A FUCKING EXTRACTION!

*Makarov is then seen boarding a helicopter with Igor, before it promptly flies away. Many OpFor insurgents engage the two SAS soldiers. Al-Bashir is then seen boarding a helicopter of his own, which also flies away.*

Soap: Faruk left!

Price: It doesn't bloody matter. We need to get out of here!

*The two fight through plenty of enemies before reaching the end of the compound, bursting out back into the streets to safety.*
