Hours after killing General Shepherd, Captain John Price and Nikolai evacuate a dying John “Soap” MacTavish to a safehouse run by Nikolai’s allies in Himachal Pradesh, India. While Soap receives medical attention, a large group of men under Vladimir Makarov’s command storm the safe-house in an attempt to kill the three. A soldier named Yuri aids Price in giving Soap medical attention and securing a safe route to the extraction point out of the country.The Russian invasion of the United States continues, culminating in the Battle of Lower Manhattan. A Delta Force team with the call sign “Metal” under the command of Sandman is deployed in New York City to repel the Russian assault along the East River. Team Metal succeeds in destroying a jamming device mounted on the rooftop of the New York Stock Exchange building and escapes on a Black Hawk helicopter. They later assist the U.S. Navy SEALs in boarding a Russian Oscar II to use its ordnance against the Russian Navy. As a result of Team Metal’s actions, the Russians withdraw from the East Coast, and presumably the entire United States.
