![]() ![]() "Blind Idiot" Translation: Makarov's "Remember, no Russian" line is supposed to mean "Don't speak Russian so the authorities think we're Americans." The Japanese version translated it as "Kill them all, they are Russians", which makes little sense considering how Makarov himself is a Russian Ultranationalist.Bland-Name Product: The restaurants in some of the levels are thinly-veiled versions of Taco Bell, TGI Friday's, Starbucks and Burger King.Price and Soap are still alive, and as Price admitted, the key was both for Shepherd to die and for them to live. ![]() Even if he ends up a martyr, his death prevented his plan from going any further. There is a bit of a high note, though: Shepherd was presumably going to use his hero status and unlimited budget to perform unilateral military actions across the globe (as evidenced by his very well equipped "Shadow Company"). Bittersweet Ending: Yes, you stopped the warmonger Shepherd, but Task Force 141 has been destroyed, Price and Soap are internationally wanted fugitives for "treason" - despite having done nothing against their home country - along with "global terror" and "violent acts against the government", the East Coast and Washington in particular are devastated, the US is still at war with Russia (as Shepherd intended, so he won even in death), and Makarov is still on the loose.Amongst this chaos, Makarov escapes Shepherd's men and becomes the Big Bad of Modern Warfare 3, so he is the one who benefits from all this more. The Bad Guy Wins: Sure, Soap and Price have killed Shepherd, but that doesn't change the fact that his Batman Gambit has already succeeded. ![]()
