Top 5 Characters To Watch Out In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

The Call of Duty series has been going strong for 20 years now, leaving many players wondering about their order of release and just how many Call of Duty games there are. Here are all of the CoD games in order, from its debut entry to unreleased up comers.

Video game franchises don’t come much bigger than Call Of Duty Since the series first arrived in the early 2000s. It’s gone on to become one of the best-selling franchises of all time, releasing several classic FPS titles along the way. Recently, Call of Duty officially announced that this year’s title will be called Modern Warfare 3, so we’re breaking down everything we know about the game to understand what to expect.

Top Characters in COD

Captain John “Soap” MacTavish: A returning character from previous games, Soap is a skilled SAS operative and one of the main protagonists. Captain MacTavish, who is better known as ‘Soap’ to most gamers, was not only the greatest character in the history of Call of Duty (to this point), but he has also become one of the most beloved characters in gaming, full stop. Being part of all three of the original Modern Warfare games, fans got to spend a lot of time with the character, which is why his death was so impactful, especially because most fans didn’t believe Call of Duty had the guts to kill off such a popular character.

2_Captain John Price: Another familiar face, Price is a veteran British SAS officer who plays a crucial role in the game’s events. Never showing fear, Captain Price was a true leader amongst men and is probably the most iconic character in the Call of Duty series. He’s harsh, but honest, and has an extensive range of quotes that most COD players can easily recall with ease.

His classic cigar and witty comments are just some of the reasons why people loved him so much. Price even became the poster boy for the franchise for a short while, mainly because most players associated Call of Duty with his memorable moustache-framed face.

3_Yuri: Introduced in Modern Warfare 3, Yuri is a former Ultranationalist operative who becomes an ally of Soap and Price. Several characters in the series betray you and join the villains of the story. But Yuri is a rare example of someone doing the opposite. He was once a proud member of the Russian Ultranationalists and good friends with Vladimir Makarov.

Yet, some of the group’s evil actions drive Yuri to betray his comrades. Makarov then leaves him for dead. This is when he joins the loyalists and assists the likes of Price and Soap. He isn’t always the noblest protagonist in the series. But his complicated relationship with Makarov and his home country makes him a compelling character.

4_Makarov: The primary antagonist, Vladimir Makarov is a ruthless Russian Ultranationalist responsible for many of the game’s conflicts. Arguably the most memorable villain in the Call of Duty franchise, Makarov manages to be universally despised by fans of the series, which was the main purpose of his role. Unlike some of the other villains in the franchise, Makarov truly has no redeeming qualities, being all about anarchy and causing as much chaos as possible without any remorse for his actions.

The scene he would best be remembered for was the infamous airport massacre mission in Modern Warfare 2 in what remains the most controversial level in the history of the franchise.

5_Nikolai: A loyal ally to Soap and Price, Nikolai is a Russian informant who assists them throughout their mission. Nikolai is a recurring character in the Call of Duty series, often serving as a loyal ally and skilled soldier. He first appears in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as Captain Price’s informant, and reappears in subsequent games as part of various special forces units. He is known for his distinctive Russian accent and humorous personality.

Early in his career, Nikolai was sent to guard the Soviet embassy in Copenhagen. During this duty, he expressed disenchantment with Russian foreign policy, which resulted in extensive efforts by Western interests to recruit him. When Nikolai was reassigned to the Russian Embassy in London, MI6 ‘made contact’ with the young and outspoken Russian.
