Who is john mactavish

Maybe Soap is a big Indiana Jones fans, or maybe it is just a coincidence. During an assassination attempt on Makarov, Soap is mortally wounded after an explosion goes off. He is brought to a safehouse, but dies on a table next to Price. Players can notice Price that takes a few things off of Soap's corpse, including his dog tags. During the next cutscene, players can see what they read. They may also notice that his ID number is , though blood splatter obscures the rest. Another object that Price takes from Soap's body is his journal.

Any player who purchased the hardened edition of Modern Warfare 3 were able to acquire Soap's journal and read through it. Entries include what happens throughout Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 , and the period of time between the two games.

Players can read that Soap took his training seriously, and even practiced more after the events of the first game. There are even plans for the mission Mile High Club , showing that it is considered canon and was a Task Force operation. In the mission after Soap's death, Price pulls up his old file. These are the three highest awards a person can receive while in the British military.

With all of the operations he was part of, it should be no surprise that Soap received these awards. While the events of the first game remained a secret from the public, Soap should still receive recognition for what he did. Stopping nukes from hitting the US and killing Zakhaev are most likely what gained him these. After a night mission aiding Kamarov , the leader of the Czech Resistance, in fighting the Ultranationalists, Task Force finally tracks Makarov to the Hotel Lustig where he is having a meeting with his top advisors.

Soap and Yuri find a place to perch and wait for Price to descend into the hotel to kill Makarov. As they watch Price make his way into the hotel they see an unconscious Kamarov appear from an elevator with explosives strapped to his chest.

Makarov's voice can be heard coming over a walkie talkie that was waiting for Yuri and Soap. Makarov refers to Yuri as his 'old friend' just before explosives detonate and kill Kamarov and destroy Soap and Yuri's sniper perch.

Soap and Yuri are sent plummeting down scaffolding and into a firefight where Yuri helps an injured Soap across a battlefield and into a makeshift medical treatment center set up by the Czech Resistance. Soap then dies on the makeshift operating table. This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:. Until you earn points all your submissions need to be vetted by other Giant Bomb users.

Epilogue Mission Although very little information is given about the "Mile High Club" mission, which takes place after the main storyline of the game, it is implied that the squad is commanded by Sgt.

Tackling a soldier After narrowing down Makarov's hiding place to two locations, Task Force decides to split up. A plastic bust of Soap was included in the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2, to be used as a stand for your night vision goggles. A few others obtained a bar of soap with the name "Mactavish" on it, an obvious reference to his nickname.

AiasOileus I bought "Soap" with the intent to use the parts for customs making some Purple Dragon members, that being the gang from TMNT , but there was one problem, he was just too cool as he was. The intelligence facilitates Team Metal's apprehension of Makarov's bomb-maker, Volk , during the Ultranationalist attack on Paris and Berlin.

On the way out of Somalia Nikolai's chopper was shot down by Waraabe's men forcing them to detour through the sand storm, much to Soap's irritation. As they fought through the thick covered sand storm they eventually found Nikolai and got him out in a truck instead and shot their way out of Somalia.

Soap asked how they were going to get Volk, Price said they couldn't but Sandman of Team Metal was close. Soap jumping out of a church near Hotel Lustig , one of the main causes of his death. With aid from Kamarov , Price, Soap, and Yuri use the distraction of the local Resistance to their advantage to reach their assigned spots at the Hotel Lustig. Price would infiltrate the Hotel Lustig while Soap and Yuri provide cover with their sniper rifles at a nearby church.

However, Makarov, not wanting to fall in the same trap as Zakhaev, caught wind of the assassination attempt and detonates the bombs planted on Kamarov and at Soap and Yuri's overwatch position. Soap pushes Yuri out the hole in the wall to save him, but gets caught in the blast radius, accompanied by suffering a long fall.

Soap survives the fall, but is severely injured as a result of the blast, the fall and debris collapsing on him. Just before the detonation, Soap briefly learns of Yuri's then-unknown acquaintance with Makarov.

Price and Yuri desperately rush Soap to a nearby resistance safehouse, where Soap relays the recent revelation of Yuri's acquaintance with Makarov to Price before dying. While attempting to escape, Price punches Yuri down a flight of stairs, demanding he reveal how Makarov knows him. Yuri elaborates that he was Makarov's friend but was betrayed.

Just prior to his final confrontation with Makarov where Price would finally kill the terrorist leader, Price declared "This is for Soap". Statue: Soap later appears in the Season 10 The Hunt Comics.

He arrives late to Makarov 's jungle base just as Mara had fended off Mace , who escaped into an underground bunker.

They enter the bunker but are too late in stopping the launch of an EMP missile that was housed in it. Disappointed with the recent mission failure, Ghost contemplates of how they gathered next to no intel about their enemies. Mace in disguise attacks a building with his team of mercenaries then goes to Alcatraz to meet with an underground criminal magnate named Hidora Kai. Mace and Hidora start to plan out their next moves, disabling all electronic devices in the world, including military radio towers, communication centers, Mara and Soap's convoy and even the plane Ghost and Tank were flying in, using the EMP launched earlier.

Ghost and Tank manage to survive and meet the other operators at The Club. When Ghost admits that the group has no way to fight the Five Knights , along with no way to locate them, Russell Adler appears and says that they do have ways to combat the new threat. After Ghost asks who he is, Price introduces Adler, and officially states the group is now a part of the United Anti-Terrorism Coalition , ending the introduction with "Ladies and gentlemen, we're going dark.

Adler and the rest of the team start to plan out their assault on Five Knights locations. When asked on how they would coordinate or even reach those locations, Adler presents the team with Swiss mechanical watches, which are unaffected by EMPs. Price also notes that Adler is not the only Cold War relic in operational state in the bunker, indicating an old helicopter.

During all of this, a character named Templar is preparing himself, and he appears to have a personal grudge against the operators of the Coalition. Meanwhile, the Coalition begins striking 3 key sites of the Five Knights simultaneously; Price and Soap lead an assault team on the Communication Centre, Mara and her team storm in at the Command Center in Alcatraz , while Ghost and Tank strike a production facility in Hackney Yard.

When Price and Soap attempt to exfil, Templar appears and grabs Soap by the neck, noting he is "glad" to see Price again.

Soap and Price devise a plan to take him down, but it fails and Soap is gravely wounded by Templar's knife. He then enters a brief standoff with Price. Noting that Soap doesn't have long, Price is forced to save him rather than pursue Templar, who escapes in a Chopper. Later, Price, Ghost and Adler discuss the aftermath of their joint operation; Mace is in a Black Site facing interrogation, Templar and Hidora are in the wind, Soap is injured but will be battle ready within a few weeks.

It is further revealed that Mara made it out alive, but was wounded badly and is in a coma. Ghost admits that they won the battle and takes an oath that he will "Win the War. Soap is later seen again eating at the table. When Price comes asking him for Ghost's whereabouts, as he cannot find him while he's planning the next op, Soap says he hasn't seen him. Adler comes to them saying that he knows where Ghost is, and he is "doing something stupid".

When Price asks what Adler has done, he replies that he told Ghost about the operation in Siberia. Some time later, Price and Soap are shown arriving at the Soviet base Ghost infiltrated, remarking on Ghost's rashness, and start searching the area.

They soon find a folded paper on the bloodied ground, and as Price opens it, he finds Ghost's dog tag. Soap is later shown to have traveled to somewhere in Mexico, and he recruits Rosa , a soldier affiliated with the DEA, the CiA and who's apparently the "angel of damn death for the cartels", into the UAC. He appears again during a briefing on recent developments by General Shepherd and Price; Mara had gone rogue to uncover what might've happened to Ghost, while Hidora Kai had returned to Tokyo to rebuild the Five Knights and Templar had been dispatched to Texas.

Soap is tasked together with Alex to go to Tokyo and apprehend Hidora. Soap and Alex both have their misgivings, but they embark on the mission nonetheless. As they arrive in Tokyo, they waste no time in raiding the hideout that Hidora is apparently in, gunning down a number of henchmen in the process. Hidora orders his remaining henchmen to kill them while he continues his work. However, Alex and Soap manage to intercept him before he can escape and knock him unconscious.

Soap laments that it could've gone better, but Alex derides him. They then carry away the unconscious Hidora in a car and attempt to exfil, all the while being pursued and fired at by Hidora's henchmen. Unfortunately, Soap and Alex are intercepted by an individual resembling Spectre , who impales their driver with his sword when they attempt to run him over.

They are forced to fight off Hidora's relentlessly pursuing henchmen yet again. However, Soap and Alex manage to snag a pair of motorcycles and prevent Hidora from escaping.

Soap tells Hidora that he's coming with them if he has to bring him in a bucket. Alex orders him to get to the exfiltration site. Soap and Alex then race to the docks, where there is a boat waiting for them. They barely manage to make it onto the boat, with Hidora's henchmen falling behind.

With no more enemies pursuing them and with the Five Knight member apprehended, the boat leaves Tokyo. On the voyage, as Hidora is being interrogated by General Shepherd , he doesn't divulge anything and implies that someone is following them.
