Not related to your question bro, but I was wondering about Vargas. According to the earlier informations about our hermano, he is said to be the new member of 141, yet he has his own Vaqueros, and did not join with Price to the final mission. Does this mean that Vargas was not really a member of 141 considering that the second to the last mission is a Joint Operation between 141 and Vaqueros, and Vaqueros is Vargas's own squad?
I think the 3 men in the plane cutscene were Makarov's accomplices. The accomplices were Lev, Kiril, Viktor, and Anatoly. Maybe the color of the jackets they were wearing correspond to the color of the suits. Lev was wearing a coyote brown suit, so Lev might be the one in the window seat. Kiril was wearing a grey suit, so Kiril must be the one in walkway. Viktor was wearing a blue-black suit, so Viktor must be the one assembling the 3D-Printed Weapon. The waiter must be Anatoly, cuz he's the one that helped Makarov and the others get in and out of the airport.

You guys are like really smart detectives! It just blows my mind how this story is made with heart and dedication. Pretty sure that developers loves their job.
@@MackDonald man I can wish, I love Alex, he’s like the classic American war hero, but man he already survived one incident, I don’t think these characters gets a 3rd or 4th chance at life.
I'm glad you recognized Allen, I mentioned this in the comments of your previous ending explanation video. I figured Allen is a viable character that original mw players would remember that we didn't get much of a story on and it works out perfectly for him to be planted there by Shepard, I'd even go as far to say Shepard would be the one to tip Makarov off to the CIA after price laswell and their team find out Shepard's intentions. I haven't played call of duty since mw3 but I've kept up on the series. I really think the developers are really giving back to players of the original mw series in the form of nostalgia they had hoped mw2019 would be. Idk about anyone else but I love all the callbacks and how familiar this game feels to be.
It's a new MW3. I think Yuri is probably evil in this new MW trilogy than in the original, I say this because I think post MW2/Warzone 2 gameplay will be similar to the MW1 with Khaled Al-Asad taking power by force in Urzikstan to keep the west from removing Makarov from power in Russia. Then with Task Force 141 taking down Shepherd, with then Al-Asad and possibly Raul Menendez becoming the main antagonists for MW3.
While I find it to be possible that the mystery character could be Joseph Allen, I don't believe Allen and Alex would be the same person. In Modern Warfare 2019, Alex was willing to go against the CIA and his government in defence of Farah's people, no way would Alex willingly partake in an attack on innocent civilians in order to keep his cover. Alex being involved in the No Russian attack goes against his character growth in the previous Modern Warfare.
Can’t be Alex, he missing a leg that would stand out to bad and give everything away. Allen makes more sense past everything. But I think this is a random event and the three people we are watching are random. There’s somebody else on the plane they are meeting, it’s a 4 man job and the 4th man is who we are really wanting to know and want find out til MW3.
His legs wouldn't give anything away because Alex isnt trying to act or fool makarov into thinking he's someone else, he's simply approaching makarov as an ally ie. Alexi B. Makarov would have no way to disprove the fact that Alexi may have lost a leg
Honestly, I do feel like that it would round up to be either Yuri or Makarov. The reason why I say this is because usually in every call of duty, the old characters have a way coming back into other wars or seasons. As I have seen your video about Atom in mw2, I do believe it could be him too because we think that it is Makarov. Also, I am a huge fan!
I think its definitely Hadir or Alex, I think its questionable with Alex because he really seemed very morally ethical at the end of MW2019 and wouldn't want to do a terrorist attack even as an undercover agent but I really do love the link with his code name and Alexi. Imo I think there's an incredibly high chance it is Hadir
fairly certain it's Yuri or Alex. More likely Alex just because he was missing through mw2 so having the reason being because he was getting tied in with Makarov would make sense.
I hope not, but now that you mention it the fact that he went to the Urzik liberation force with Farah, and the fact that he fights "only the bad [Russians]" as he made clear after the air base mission in MW, it would make sense that this operation would have Alex in "No Russian" since he may be well aware of how evil Makarov really is. I've heard in this comment section that it may be Makarov's original accomplices (Kiril, Victor, Anatoly, and Lev) for the waiter and the three armed hijackers, and I think that's a bit more plausible. But I wouldn't be surprised if Alex were among those on the flight for this new "No Russian" attack.
I agree I also think that Makarov might also plan a mass shooting terrorist attack in Paris for MW2/Warzone 2 storyline with more Russian Ultranationalists and Al-Qatala as well.
I'm feeling since "Alex" is very clearly just a codename, it very well would make sense if it was revealed his real name was a character we've played as in the OG trilogy
Also it's something I noticed during the cut scene it's the names you know how they have names in certain colors or certain things right blue meaning friendly Ally or possible civilian all right and like when during the game playing when we get betrayed Graves name George from Blue to red right so most definitely is somebody we know
i do think the mystery character is this reboot’s version of joseph allen, who may very well be alex. i doubt it’s yuri but i really want him to be in the dlc/next game
I think it could be Yuri. idk if this sounds stupid, but in the plane cutscene, they have pistols as they're weapons. and in the mw2 remastered there is that scene where Yuri walks in the entrance and falls down wielding holding a pistol. Maybe Yuri had come along to remove suspicion of him alerting CIA and planned to escape whilst the attack was carried out, but Makarov shot him before anything had happened. idk if its a bad theory, but I tried.
I have a feeling that the spec ops and raid storyline following the campaign will be us dealing with the aftermath of no Russian and possibly ww3 like the original
I've always suspected it was Alex, but I don't think Shepard sent him in. You know how 141 knows about Makarov already but it doesn't seem like anyone else does? Also strange how Alex is seen no where in this game, but he is a part of 141 (supposedly, I'm not personally sure if that was ever confirmed). So what if 141 sent him undercover, instead of Shepard? Think about it: - Alex is already presumed dead and only the 141 know he is actually alive. Considering Laswell doesn't mention him either, it means that she either doesn't know he survived or is keeping it under wraps like the rest of the team is. But I am sure that Shepard wouldn't know about Alex surviving. - Second, even if Shepard knew he was alive, Alex would be taking orders from Price, Farah, or Laswell. Not Shepard. In Shepard's eyes, he's likely still seen as a traitor since he leaves the CIA to join what Shepard himself had classified as a terrorist group. And with what Shepard had done no doubt reaching Alex's ears through Price and/or Laswell, he would be reluctant to ever follow Shepard's orders. - Third, how do we even know if Shepard knows about Makarov at all? Don't forget, Laswell didn't know who he was, and it's shown early on that Shepard gets a lot of his info on Russia and the terrorists associated with them from Laswell, or at least her team and branch of the CIA. So it's not likely (but not impossible) Shepard knows about Makarov at all. - Finally, it makes sense for 141 to send Alex of all people because, like I said before, he's presumed to be dead. There would be no records to link him back to the CIA or anyone, given that they did a thorough background check and somehow got past the (what I can only assume) already tightly knit CIA protocols to keep that from happening. The only other person this applies to is Ghost and, being honest here, even if he wasn't in the main campaign already therefore almost certainly disqualifying him from being the culprit, he fits more as a stealth and guerrilla operator than an undercover operator. Which, once again, Alex fills with flying colors. And since 141 already knows about Makarov, he could've been sent in from before the game even started, gaining intel and the trust of Makarov, and that's why we don't see him in this game. But that's just my theory.
yeah but we know that the characters individual knowledge matches the og trilogy so why would joseph allen go back on an undercover mission posing as ultra nationalist when he knows makarov knows he’s CIA
This is what i think will happen (Theory): => Operation Kingfish will be told by Cpt Price to Laswell when a long time ago, Shepherd send the 141 in a secret mission and will explain how they know Makarov. Or maybe he met him in Pripyat similar the flashback on MW3 OG timeline. =>Makarov can use sleeper agents, the numbers for the mission No Russian or for other purposes since BO and MW are connected because Cold War confirmed it. He is russian and the most ruthless and the best villain of the whole COD history imo. Zakhaev was in BO Cold War mission , maybe Kravchenko told him about Dragovich's end game after what happened Lubyanka disaster mission. And also Stitch said to Adler before he died that he changed the whole world, he did a huge progress about test subject project. So that's why i think the numbers will play major role as a tool of manipulation in the future. The ideology Perseus could be involved with ultranationalists. => I feel like Laswell and Gaz will somehow sacrifice like Kamarov in the og MW3 in the next game a small feeling about it because of the progression of each character. The very good guy is always the one who can highly die. Or one of the duo (Soap and Ghost). Shepherd will be the last target in the next game trying to live a good life with a new identity but one of 141 crew will kill him at the end ; or will be poisoned or stabbed and will get close to the 141 character to finish it once and for all in some kind of revenge purpose. => I feel like Alex will play a major role in the next game and could be involved in undercover No Russian operation. => Graves could be back (cliché when someone dies without showing the body). => Al Asad ( highly is Hadir) will be involved with Makarov in the future. => Valeria will be a powerful drugleader and will try to be on the throne whatever it takes. She will be a useful help for the next game antagonists. She could have contacts with someone in south america where in the next game Alejandro will be helpful in 1 mission like Farah. I think she will kill off one protagonist to show that she is cruel. I think she will capture the squad to suffer them in some kind of mission trap like COD Ghost Sin City mission when Elias Walker died. Or Valeria will die if a DLC campaign exist since Price told her that he will be back and she is look forward to it. =>And finally we could see a crossover character from BO universe that will be helpful to MW missions (Maybe Old man Mason will tell them how to stop the numbers sequences). =>Its seems like Valeria is nearly a similar version to Rorke from COD Ghost: > Betrayed her own squad to become a drugdealer by taking his place / Rorke took Almagro place. > Always having a plan B / plan to escape ; she knows how Vaqueros operates/ Rorke knows how Ghosts operate. The duo: Alejandro (Elias) and Valeria (Rorke). > Maybe Soap (logan walker) and Valeria (Rorke) because of many conversations in the campaign and some clues indirectly. At the end, maybe she wants to know how Soap will prove himself worthy same as Logan proving his loyalty to his team. I think there is something going on between those 2 characters with the progression of the campaign. I dont think the brainwashing thing will really happen but she will try to convince him maybe but he will not change his mind. Soap = brainwashing? Ok thats too far lol 😂
It may not be Alex because in mw2019 he said "I'm tired of being told who my friends are" when Farah's soldiers we deemed terrorists. So he might not be taking any more directions or orders from the CIA or Shepherd.
Wearing trousers you wouldn’t tell the difference between a man with 2 legs to a man wearing a prosthetic leg. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save Farrah, as a ULF fighter and now a medically discharged dishonoured CIA op he has every reason to join with Hadir and Farrahs fighting force against the Russians
My theory on MW2 as a whole is that the multiplayer takes place directly after the ending of the campaign because they start fighting Kortac which is the exact faction that Makarov starts working with another thing that feeds my theory is that most of 141 are masked which would make sense, especially after threatening a US military general with death. So that leads me to my theory that the multiplayer is kind of part of the "campaign" in a way. Of course I my be way wrong about this but it does make sense.
I think it could be an unknown person that is new to the series. It could also be someone to tie the game to one of the other COD series like Cold War did with Zakhaev SR.
Hey Inkslasher another theory I have in my mind: nothing to do with the ID of the person of the plane but of Makarov reboot. What I’m thinking is maybe Makarov have met Zakhaev at the KGB HQ mission (Black Ops Cold War) when he was a young KGB officer or some sort and found Zakhaev inside the elevator unconscious wake him up after all shit going with Adler and Bell, and they become best Bud. Or another theory is Bell is Makarov but it’s far stretch there lol. Anyway hopefully we know more soon.
Makarov in Black Ops Cold War is complete non-sense. By the time BOCW was happening, which was in 1981, Makarov was 11 years old (You can see his DOB in OG MW2, so there's no need to explain).
There's a major detail that I feel removes Alex as a possibility: he got an entire leg blown off. Sure, it was from the knee down, and we don't see that knee in the video. However, that's a super huge identifier. In other words, if Makarov were to recruit someone to join his army, surely he would recognize a one-legged man that was last seen blowing up a Russian factory. Point being, even if Makarov himself hasn't met Alex, surely his allies (Hadir/Al Asad, for example) would. In other words, if you're gonna send someone to work undercover, you'd want someone with a lot of anonymity. Not someone with a high risk of being recognized. He's also disavowed and no longer serves under Shepherd. With that said, I think/hope it's Yuri. It makes the most sense.
Only character that fits that bill is Alex. Alex went way off the books for Farah's group and could have rejoined Laswell and the CIA to target the Ultra-Nationalists that attacked the Shadow Company convoy. Alex was not in this MW2's campaign, so my guess is that he is undercover with the Ultra-Nationalists. Yuri could very well be part of the terrorist act on the airplane, but it will be Alex in the role of PFC Allen from the original MW2 as the deep cover asset, except it would be Laswell that sent him in, not Shepard from the original.
No way Alex would be a plant by direction of Shepherd after what he pulled on Farah in MW. He wanted to fight for his own cause at that point, not be someone's undercover pawn again.
Originally I agreed about Alex being Joseph Allen before the new campaign. But after Shepherd’s betrayal I think Alex would’ve caught wind of this and aborted Shepherd’s mission. And if I’m not wrong, Alex was deemed an enemy when he stayed with Farah.
It could be Allen because the other two characters carried the guns with one hand but the other held the gun professionally so the character in question definitely had some military training before joining makarov
i think it most likely is yuri because yes, in the og timeline he did work for makarov, and he did kinda turn on him, and what you said may be kinda true of how infinity ward likes to keep og stories and character backgrounds, but remember, Gaz was never named Kyle Garrick, as far as we can tell Ghost and Gaz never met in the og timeline, and Shepard turned on 141 in a different manner, so they do change some things about characters. so my theory is that if it is indeed yuri, they are gonna keep the same story, he works with makarov and is one of his most trusted allies, then at some point he turns on makarov and joins 141 as a new member, and i think it would be cooler if HE was part of No Russian instead of just a random russian.
i really think since its an alternative version of mw, maybe its yuri, maybe he is still with makarov at the time and he is about to explode the nuke, it would be really cool
The phone is connected to in-flight WiFi. It is entirely possible they had to pay for that, and the only way to do so is with a card. Boom, checkmate, the US govt will find them /s
Guys the mystery character is Yuri, he's working for Makarov and I know what y'all thinking he died but if soap can survive like a tough tank, there is a slight of chance that Yuri is on that plan. Side answer: Jason Statham voice character is working for Makarov
This is super cool and I think it’s Alex but I also feel we might be overthinking this and it could be the Ultranationalist thing too. Either way this is an awesome vid. Keep it up!
Yooooo, this is actually a pretty good theory. The only thing I don't like about it is that, if true, that would most likely mean that Alex will die at the end of the "mission".
If it was Allen and this is just a "if" then that means Shepard (just like in the original trilogy) sent him as a under cover asset to quote on quote "capture" Makarov it's possible that both Shepard and Makarov are pulling the strings, for example when he said: "When you gotta do some good, you gotta do some bad, when we shit we bury it that's how it works". Maybe Shepard contacted Makarov or knew about Makarov's presence for what I'm theorizing now. We'll have to wait and see.
I’m convinced it’s Rorke from COD Ghosts. Maybe he is using it as a way to draw out **Ghosts** and maybe assumes Simon is one of them ? Long shot but would be cool to see
yeah it would be cool is the ghosts are a group in modern warfare franchise and mabye ghost was a part of them i also think a good plot point is if the ghosts go on a massive and all of them get killed apart from ghost and Rorke and mabye logan or something
People seem to overlook that Joseph Allen’s undercover covert name was ALEXei in original MW2. Just an interesting thought with all the callbacks this MWII has
Paused at one minute to throw in my initial thought..Alex. No mention of him despite knowing he was alive and well early on when warzone actually continued the story. Now back to enjoy the breakdown 🤙🏻
I think it’s yurj he was apart of the No Russian mission but got betrayed befor makeing entry also he is Russian the character on the plane has a Russian ancient and Nikolai is in game so in the future Yuri might return
My theory is that Alex could be undercover with makarov during the game which is exactly what happened with the CIA operative in mw3. Especially since Alex works for the CIA
You know i’m really starting to like the MW reboot series, i wasn’t sure about the first one, it had a solid campaign but for some reason didn’t feel like MW, now after playing MW2 a couple of times and replaying MW, I can say that I think this series may surpass the old one if the next MW3 is done right
In the original, Shepherd’s prior knowledge to No Russian and the start of WW3 are why he turned on Task 141 after Roach and Ghost found the plans at the safe house. With the new games using the lost missiles as his reason for turning this time, it doesn’t make since for him to have a mole on the plane this time
I think Alex will be the character we play as (if we play it) in no Russian, but in my opinion I think the person we see in the cutscene isn't him but rather a different member of Makarovs group
a other reason why is becuase in the text message it shows a M which means the one who was texting"ready?"(the first text) is makarov and not the one makeing a makeshift pistol
One theory that popped into my head is what if that last scene is lining up to be the introduction with the airplane raid at the end of the original modern warfare?
I don't think they are going to kill off Alex for no Russian it would be cool if we get to play as Alex and be undercover working with makorov until the end
I'll raise this theory and say that Valeria is Raul Menendez' sister Josephina, and that Valeria is just a street name. Yes, she's in Mexico, but maybe they are carving up South and Central America separately in this connected reboot.
So... after watching the video who do you think the mystery character is?
Yeah but hadir couldn't be the mystery person in the end of call of duty modern warfare 2 because you said at hadir is khaled al-asad
I reckon it could be v.zakheav. We never saw his body at the end of mw
Joseph Allen or someone new

But Yuri still did it the first time around regardless, at this point in the time line Yuri is still working and good friends with Makarov
It's a new MW3. I think Yuri is probably evil in this new MW trilogy than in the original, I say this because I think post MW2/Warzone 2 gameplay will be similar to the MW1 with Khaled Al-Asad taking power by force in Urzikstan to keep the west from removing Makarov from power in Russia. Then with Task Force 141 taking down Shepherd, with then Al-Asad and possibly Raul Menendez becoming the main antagonists for MW3.
Yuri had tattoos and also morals so no
I wonder who the new voice actor for Makrov will be and I hope that they don't do a whole new makeover like they did to Shepherd.
The plus side to Shepherd is the hit that played him is the voice actor for the original guy that was overlord for the marines in the original trilogy
Makarov voice is very iconic
While I find it to be possible that the mystery character could be Joseph Allen, I don't believe Allen and Alex would be the same person. In Modern Warfare 2019, Alex was willing to go against the CIA and his government in defence of Farah's people, no way would Alex willingly partake in an attack on innocent civilians in order to keep his cover. Alex being involved in the No Russian attack goes against his character growth in the previous Modern Warfare.
Can’t be Alex, he missing a leg that would stand out to bad and give everything away.
Allen makes more sense past everything. But I think this is a random event and the three people we are watching are random. There’s somebody else on the plane they are meeting, it’s a 4 man job and the 4th man is who we are really wanting to know and want find out til MW3.
His legs wouldn't give anything away because Alex isnt trying to act or fool makarov into thinking he's someone else, he's simply approaching makarov as an ally ie. Alexi B. Makarov would have no way to disprove the fact that Alexi may have lost a leg
So everyone is focused on this guy and no one noticed the flight attendant sounds and looks alot like Philip Graves?
Honestly, I do feel like that it would round up to be either Yuri or Makarov. The reason why I say this is because usually in every call of duty, the old characters have a way coming back into other wars or seasons. As I have seen your video about Atom in mw2, I do believe it could be him too because we think that it is Makarov. Also, I am a huge fan!
I think its definitely Hadir or Alex, I think its questionable with Alex because he really seemed very morally ethical at the end of MW2019 and wouldn't want to do a terrorist attack even as an undercover agent but I really do love the link with his code name and Alexi. Imo I think there's an incredibly high chance it is Hadir
fairly certain it's Yuri or Alex. More likely Alex just because he was missing through mw2 so having the reason being because he was getting tied in with Makarov would make sense.
yep im sure its Alex
But how would he be undercover
I hope not, but now that you mention it the fact that he went to the Urzik liberation force with Farah, and the fact that he fights "only the bad [Russians]" as he made clear after the air base mission in MW, it would make sense that this operation would have Alex in "No Russian" since he may be well aware of how evil Makarov really is.
I've heard in this comment section that it may be Makarov's original accomplices (Kiril, Victor, Anatoly, and Lev) for the waiter and the three armed hijackers, and I think that's a bit more plausible. But I wouldn't be surprised if Alex were among those on the flight for this new "No Russian" attack.
I agree I also think that Makarov might also plan a mass shooting terrorist attack in Paris for MW2/Warzone 2 storyline with more Russian Ultranationalists and Al-Qatala as well.
Yuri has tattoos so no
Before you tell me Ink, my guess is it's either Alex or A new version of Pvt. Allen. Love your vids!
Or Alex is pvt. Allen
@@gummybe3r MIND-BLOWN
The evidence regarding Allen’s cover name being (potentially) linked to Alex is pretty clever.
I'm feeling since "Alex" is very clearly just a codename, it very well would make sense if it was revealed his real name was a character we've played as in the OG trilogy
Also it's something I noticed during the cut scene it's the names you know how they have names in certain colors or certain things right blue meaning friendly Ally or possible civilian all right and like when during the game playing when we get betrayed Graves name George from Blue to red right so most definitely is somebody we know
Call of Duty is like a Netflix original series. We have to a wait 3 years to find out. 🤣🤣
i do think the mystery character is this reboot’s version of joseph allen, who may very well be alex.
i doubt it’s yuri but i really want him to be in the dlc/next game
what are you on about, they can't be the same people
Don't forget, Menendez is around at this time because the BO universe is tied into the new MW story as well as Vanguard
I think it could be Yuri. idk if this sounds stupid, but in the plane cutscene, they have pistols as they're weapons. and in the mw2 remastered there is that scene where Yuri walks in the entrance and falls down wielding holding a pistol. Maybe Yuri had come along to remove suspicion of him alerting CIA and planned to escape whilst the attack was carried out, but Makarov shot him before anything had happened. idk if its a bad theory, but I tried.
I hope its Yuri
That’s in mw3 to
@@S1gmaR1zzler in the remastered hes in the game if you walk back when you go up the esculator
I have a feeling that the spec ops and raid storyline following the campaign will be us dealing with the aftermath of no Russian and possibly ww3 like the original
Inkslasher my question to you is who was the cook on the plane because they were the one to prepare the salad with the weapon part taped to it
I think that the cook is working with Makarov on this and he specifically put the magazines in the salads
Imo I think it was Anatoly (the driver of the ambulance in no russian)
I've always suspected it was Alex, but I don't think Shepard sent him in. You know how 141 knows about Makarov already but it doesn't seem like anyone else does? Also strange how Alex is seen no where in this game, but he is a part of 141 (supposedly, I'm not personally sure if that was ever confirmed). So what if 141 sent him undercover, instead of Shepard? Think about it:
- Alex is already presumed dead and only the 141 know he is actually alive. Considering Laswell doesn't mention him either, it means that she either doesn't know he survived or is keeping it under wraps like the rest of the team is. But I am sure that Shepard wouldn't know about Alex surviving.
- Second, even if Shepard knew he was alive, Alex would be taking orders from Price, Farah, or Laswell. Not Shepard. In Shepard's eyes, he's likely still seen as a traitor since he leaves the CIA to join what Shepard himself had classified as a terrorist group. And with what Shepard had done no doubt reaching Alex's ears through Price and/or Laswell, he would be reluctant to ever follow Shepard's orders.
- Third, how do we even know if Shepard knows about Makarov at all? Don't forget, Laswell didn't know who he was, and it's shown early on that Shepard gets a lot of his info on Russia and the terrorists associated with them from Laswell, or at least her team and branch of the CIA. So it's not likely (but not impossible) Shepard knows about Makarov at all.
- Finally, it makes sense for 141 to send Alex of all people because, like I said before, he's presumed to be dead. There would be no records to link him back to the CIA or anyone, given that they did a thorough background check and somehow got past the (what I can only assume) already tightly knit CIA protocols to keep that from happening. The only other person this applies to is Ghost and, being honest here, even if he wasn't in the main campaign already therefore almost certainly disqualifying him from being the culprit, he fits more as a stealth and guerrilla operator than an undercover operator. Which, once again, Alex fills with flying colors. And since 141 already knows about Makarov, he could've been sent in from before the game even started, gaining intel and the trust of Makarov, and that's why we don't see him in this game.
But that's just my theory.
When I started this video I immediately thought of it being yuri or Allen
yeah but we know that the characters individual knowledge matches the og trilogy so why would joseph allen go back on an undercover mission posing as ultra nationalist when he knows makarov knows he’s CIA
I thought theory number 2 was wild until I heard theory number 3🔥W vid bro
He had a very clear Russian accent. Im going to call it either Yuri or a complete new character meant to serve as a second in command antagonist.
This is what i think will happen (Theory):
=> Operation Kingfish will be told by Cpt Price to Laswell when a long time ago, Shepherd send the 141 in a secret mission and will explain how they know Makarov.
Or maybe he met him in Pripyat similar the flashback on MW3 OG timeline.
=>Makarov can use sleeper agents, the numbers for the mission No Russian or for other purposes since BO and MW are connected because Cold War confirmed it. He is russian and the most ruthless and the best villain of the whole COD history imo.
Zakhaev was in BO Cold War mission , maybe Kravchenko told him about Dragovich's end game after what happened Lubyanka disaster mission. And also Stitch said to Adler before he died that he changed the whole world, he did a huge progress about test subject project. So that's why i think the numbers will play major role as a tool of manipulation in the future. The ideology Perseus could be involved with ultranationalists.
=> I feel like Laswell and Gaz will somehow sacrifice like Kamarov in the og MW3 in the next game a small feeling about it because of the progression of each character. The very good guy is always the one who can highly die. Or one of the duo (Soap and Ghost).
Shepherd will be the last target in the next game trying to live a good life with a new identity but one of 141 crew will kill him at the end ; or will be poisoned or stabbed and will get close to the 141 character to finish it once and for all in some kind of revenge purpose.
=> I feel like Alex will play a major role in the next game and could be involved in undercover No Russian operation.
=> Graves could be back (cliché when someone dies without showing the body).
=> Al Asad ( highly is Hadir) will be involved with Makarov in the future.
=> Valeria will be a powerful drugleader and will try to be on the throne whatever it takes. She will be a useful help for the next game antagonists. She could have contacts with someone in south america where in the next game Alejandro will be helpful in 1 mission like Farah. I think she will kill off one protagonist to show that she is cruel.
I think she will capture the squad to suffer them in some kind of mission trap like COD Ghost Sin City mission when Elias Walker died.
Or
Valeria will die if a DLC campaign exist since Price told her that he will be back and she is look forward to it.
=>And finally we could see a crossover character from BO universe that will be helpful to MW missions (Maybe Old man Mason will tell them how to stop the numbers sequences).
=>Its seems like Valeria is nearly a similar version to Rorke from COD Ghost:
> Betrayed her own squad to become a drugdealer by taking his place / Rorke took Almagro place.
> Always having a plan B / plan to escape ; she knows how Vaqueros operates/ Rorke knows how Ghosts operate. The duo: Alejandro (Elias) and Valeria (Rorke).
> Maybe Soap (logan walker) and Valeria (Rorke) because of many conversations in the campaign and some clues indirectly. At the end, maybe she wants to know how Soap will prove himself worthy same as Logan proving his loyalty to his team.
I think there is something going on between those 2 characters with the progression of the campaign.
I dont think the brainwashing thing will really happen but she will try to convince him maybe but he will not change his mind.
Soap = brainwashing? Ok thats too far lol 😂
Doesn’t make sense lol
No lol
It may not be Alex because in mw2019 he said "I'm tired of being told who my friends are" when Farah's soldiers we deemed terrorists. So he might not be taking any more directions or orders from the CIA or Shepherd.
I don’t think it’s Alex because he lost his leg in the factory explosion
Fair
Wearing trousers you wouldn’t tell the difference between a man with 2 legs to a man wearing a prosthetic leg. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save Farrah, as a ULF fighter and now a medically discharged dishonoured CIA op he has every reason to join with Hadir and Farrahs fighting force against the Russians
My theory on MW2 as a whole is that the multiplayer takes place directly after the ending of the campaign because they start fighting Kortac which is the exact faction that Makarov starts working with another thing that feeds my theory is that most of 141 are masked which would make sense, especially after threatening a US military general with death. So that leads me to my theory that the multiplayer is kind of part of the "campaign" in a way. Of course I my be way wrong about this but it does make sense.
I am sure that person must be Yuri.
The way he clenched his hand before standing up. I had Yuri and Allen in my head.
If Pripyat Assasination Attempt is Canon in every mw game then. Theres a possibility that Yuri is canon and will be in the mw3 game
I think it could be an unknown person that is new to the series. It could also be someone to tie the game to one of the other COD series like Cold War did with Zakhaev SR.
If it’s Alex I’m gonna fuckin cry man he’s my favorite he can’t do this 😭
There is no possible way it can be Alex
@@dylanO1389 Why? he could be deep undercover and he is good with accents
Bro, mind blown!! You make good points about everything!
Hey Inkslasher another theory I have in my mind: nothing to do with the ID of the person of the plane but of Makarov reboot. What I’m thinking is maybe Makarov have met Zakhaev at the KGB HQ mission (Black Ops Cold War) when he was a young KGB officer or some sort and found Zakhaev inside the elevator unconscious wake him up after all shit going with Adler and Bell, and they become best Bud. Or another theory is Bell is Makarov but it’s far stretch there lol. Anyway hopefully we know more soon.
Bell would have to be at least in his 70's or 80's by the time of MWII
Makarov in Black Ops Cold War is complete non-sense. By the time BOCW was happening, which was in 1981, Makarov was 11 years old (You can see his DOB in OG MW2, so there's no need to explain).
There's a major detail that I feel removes Alex as a possibility: he got an entire leg blown off. Sure, it was from the knee down, and we don't see that knee in the video. However, that's a super huge identifier. In other words, if Makarov were to recruit someone to join his army, surely he would recognize a one-legged man that was last seen blowing up a Russian factory. Point being, even if Makarov himself hasn't met Alex, surely his allies (Hadir/Al Asad, for example) would. In other words, if you're gonna send someone to work undercover, you'd want someone with a lot of anonymity. Not someone with a high risk of being recognized.
He's also disavowed and no longer serves under Shepherd.
With that said, I think/hope it's Yuri. It makes the most sense.
Only character that fits that bill is Alex. Alex went way off the books for Farah's group and could have rejoined Laswell and the CIA to target the Ultra-Nationalists that attacked the Shadow Company convoy. Alex was not in this MW2's campaign, so my guess is that he is undercover with the Ultra-Nationalists. Yuri could very well be part of the terrorist act on the airplane, but it will be Alex in the role of PFC Allen from the original MW2 as the deep cover asset, except it would be Laswell that sent him in, not Shepard from the original.
No way Alex would be a plant by direction of Shepherd after what he pulled on Farah in MW. He wanted to fight for his own cause at that point, not be someone's undercover pawn again.
i never knew how strong was makarov thats a desert eagle he shot yuri with.
Can we just bring to attention that Allen was a PFC which means he was basically just out of bootcamp and then sent on a cia mission
the dude in the suit giving out the salads is with makorv in mw2
Originally I agreed about Alex being Joseph Allen before the new campaign. But after Shepherd’s betrayal I think Alex would’ve caught wind of this and aborted Shepherd’s mission. And if I’m not wrong, Alex was deemed an enemy when he stayed with Farah.
Yuri; only way to bring him back.
How about mission in CoD4 Named "Mile High Club", that mission take place on plane same like MWII Ending Cutscene.
@Inkslasher0 what inbox?
It could be Allen because the other two characters carried the guns with one hand but the other held the gun professionally so the character in question definitely had some military training before joining makarov
i think it most likely is yuri because yes, in the og timeline he did work for makarov, and he did kinda turn on him, and what you said may be kinda true of how infinity ward likes to keep og stories and character backgrounds, but remember, Gaz was never named Kyle Garrick, as far as we can tell Ghost and Gaz never met in the og timeline, and Shepard turned on 141 in a different manner, so they do change some things about characters. so my theory is that if it is indeed yuri, they are gonna keep the same story, he works with makarov and is one of his most trusted allies, then at some point he turns on makarov and joins 141 as a new member, and i think it would be cooler if HE was part of No Russian instead of just a random russian.
i really think since its an alternative version of mw, maybe its yuri, maybe he is still with makarov at the time and he is about to explode the nuke, it would be really cool
The phone is connected to in-flight WiFi. It is entirely possible they had to pay for that, and the only way to do so is with a card. Boom, checkmate, the US govt will find them /s
1:25 bro you shoulda seen my reaction when this happened, I yelled no and scared my gf lmao
Guys the mystery character is Yuri, he's working for Makarov and I know what y'all thinking he died but if soap can survive like a tough tank, there is a slight of chance that Yuri is on that plan.
Side answer: Jason Statham voice character is working for Makarov
Yuri is ex spentaz that why he going to stop makarov but he failed and no comment let me fix that
This is super cool and I think it’s Alex but I also feel we might be overthinking this and it could be the Ultranationalist thing too. Either way this is an awesome vid. Keep it up!
Awesome way to structure this video man! Good stuff!
Yooooo, this is actually a pretty good theory. The only thing I don't like about it is that, if true, that would most likely mean that Alex will die at the end of the "mission".
If it was Allen and this is just a "if" then that means Shepard (just like in the original trilogy) sent him as a under cover asset to quote on quote "capture" Makarov it's possible that both Shepard and Makarov are pulling the strings, for example when he said: "When you gotta do some good, you gotta do some bad, when we shit we bury it that's how it works".
Maybe Shepard contacted Makarov or knew about Makarov's presence for what I'm theorizing now. We'll have to wait and see.
It's Graves, no one saw him die. All that was seen was a tank exploding. Perfect cover for Shepherd to send him.
I do enjoy background history line!!! It's Allen. Make sense to me. Great video. Make the game intoxicating. From Chicago with much ❤️ Brother.
I’m convinced it’s Rorke from COD Ghosts. Maybe he is using it as a way to draw out **Ghosts** and maybe assumes Simon is one of them ? Long shot but would be cool to see
Or it could be Elias maybe he’s being paid by Makarov and could’ve betrayed the rest of the ghosts team
@@Deathmare235 damn that’d be an interesting plot twist
yeah it would be cool is the ghosts are a group in modern warfare franchise and mabye ghost was a part of them
i also think a good plot point is if the ghosts go on a massive and all of them get killed apart from ghost and Rorke and mabye logan or something
People seem to overlook that Joseph Allen’s undercover covert name was ALEXei in original MW2. Just an interesting thought with all the callbacks this MWII has
🔝🔝Congratulations.......reach me out....
Paused at one minute to throw in my initial thought..Alex. No mention of him despite knowing he was alive and well early on when warzone actually continued the story. Now back to enjoy the breakdown 🤙🏻
I think it’s yurj he was apart of the No Russian mission but got betrayed befor makeing entry also he is Russian the character on the plane has a Russian ancient and Nikolai is in game so in the future Yuri might return
My theory is that Alex could be undercover with makarov during the game which is exactly what happened with the CIA operative in mw3. Especially since Alex works for the CIA
i think its just the guys that were with makarov in the mission no russian
You know i’m really starting to like the MW reboot series, i wasn’t sure about the first one, it had a solid campaign but for some reason didn’t feel like MW, now after playing MW2 a couple of times and replaying MW, I can say that I think this series may surpass the old one if the next MW3 is done right
They need to make makarov the penultimate villain, have him start WW3 and let the guns blaze. seems like we’re headed that direction doe
I think it could be the same dudes from no russian mission besides allen
Alex lost his leg in MODERN WARFARE
I do like the Alex theory. Sounds to me like the best fit canonically.
It’s an undercover person like pfc.allen was. (Allen is Alex if you didn’t know already) There’s a file in mw2019 where it shows Joseph “Alex” Allen.
It's not Alex, cause it'd be in poor taste to kill the same good guy twice.
If u play close attention when he rips the necklace off I can see he has a beard so it’s someone with a beard just remember that
I think Hadir lines up really well for this timeline of mw, n Alex would also be a good fit
Hadir makes a lot of sense too, I don’t think graves is dead, could be Alex, finally and hopefully Yuri
Is the new MW2 and MW 2019 alternate realities from the other trilogy’s
🔝🔝Congratulations.......reach me out....
This unfortunately aged like milk in the sun :(
I was 95% sure that the person on the plane was Joseph Alan aka Alex
another great video dude!!! great theories btw :D!!
it is either viktor, makarovs accomplice from the original, or joseph allen.
In the original, Shepherd’s prior knowledge to No Russian and the start of WW3 are why he turned on Task 141 after Roach and Ghost found the plans at the safe house. With the new games using the lost missiles as his reason for turning this time, it doesn’t make since for him to have a mole on the plane this time
10:11 you can see makarov had a part of hijacking
I think Alex will be the character we play as (if we play it) in no Russian, but in my opinion I think the person we see in the cutscene isn't him but rather a different member of Makarovs group
a other reason why is becuase in the text message it shows a M which means the one who was texting"ready?"(the first text) is makarov and not the one makeing a makeshift pistol
Could be yuri who almost every one has forgotten about it would be cool to see him bck
Bro why does the dude that asks for salads 🥗 sound like Captain John Price
Is it just me or the person saying the 'Salads please' line exactly sounds British, especially like Cptn. Price? He doesn't sound Russian at all 🤷♂
One theory that popped into my head is what if that last scene is lining up to be the introduction with the airplane raid at the end of the original modern warfare?
I don't think they are going to kill off Alex for no Russian it would be cool if we get to play as Alex and be undercover working with makorov until the end
the realism infinity war has put into their new games is jsut mind blowing
It’s there a possibility that Makarov it’s also on that plane with them? And they just talking through text messages.
The guy texting had an M on top i believe MAKAROV is leading this whole “no Russian”
I'll raise this theory and say that Valeria is Raul Menendez' sister Josephina, and that Valeria is just a street name. Yes, she's in Mexico, but maybe they are carving up South and Central America separately in this connected reboot.
2:35 it can’t be Alex bc he’s missing his leg above the knee.
