Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is a 2023 first-person shooter game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. It is the twentieth installment of the Call of Duty series and is the third entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series, following Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. In November 2023, operatives working for the Russian private military company Konni Group raid the Zordaya Prison Complex in Verdansk, Kastovia. There, they locate and free their commander, Vladimir Makarov, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment at the complex following his capture by SAS operatives John "Soap" MacTavish and John Price during a terrorist attack at the Verdansk Stadium in April 2019. Hours later, Konni assaults a port in Urzikstan, where the Urzikstan Liberation Force, led by Farah Karim and ex-CIA officer Alex Keller, was planning to obtain ballistic missiles from the American PMC Shadow Company and their commander, Phillip Graves, who faked his death after his encounter with special forces unit Task Force 141 in Las Almas, Mexico.[c] The missiles are stolen, though Farah manages to place trackers on them.
Having learned of Makarov's escape from CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell, Price leads 141 to an abandoned nuclear power plant to prevent Konni from securing nuclear material left behind following the death of General Roman Barkov.[d] They find, however, that the plant is actually carrying leftover chemical materials that Barkov had hidden within and that Makarov plans to refine it into a deadly chemical weapon. Konni escapes with the material, detonating some to thwart 141's efforts and nearly killing Price in the resultant chemical gas it creates.
To determine Makarov's plans, Laswell infiltrates the Arklov Military Base in Verdansk and meets with Colonel Yuri Volkov, who supplies a flash drive containing information on the chemical weapons Barkov had been producing. Laswell leaves with the information, moments into an attack on the base with the stolen missiles. Meanwhile, Makarov has a Kastovian airliner destroyed, using a vest bomb forced onto a former ULF fighter who was traveling aboard. To prevent an escalation of tensions between the East and West, Farah and Alex swiftly remove any evidence of ULF involvement at the plane's crash site in Urzikstan before local authorities arrive, despite Konni's efforts to prevent this.
In wake of the attacks, Price reluctantly accepts assistance from Graves and General Herschel Shepherd, who is seeking to return to the United States after being forced into hiding,[c] when they both make contact with Laswell; through their intel, Soap and Simon "Ghost" Riley locate and interrogate Makarov's financier, Milena Romanova. Price and Kyle "Gaz" Garrick use Romanova's information and deploy in Saint Petersburg, where they apprehend Konni operative Andrei Nolan, leading them to intercept a convoy moving across Siberia to a former Soviet prison. Price is shocked to find that the convoy's cargo is Shepherd, who had been captured by Makarov, and decides to give him an ultimatum – either give 141 all of his intel on Makarov's plans and agree to testify to his actions before the United States Congress, or be left to freeze to death in Siberia. Shepherd agrees, revealing that Makarov plans to destroy the Gora Dam in Verdansk to flood the city and kill its populace.
While Soap and Ghost lead a task force to prevent Konni from destroying the Gora Dam, Farah, Alex, Price, and Gaz lead an assault on a Konni base in Urzikstan, reluctantly accepting aid from Graves and Shadow Company. After resolving both issues, Shepherd and Graves return to the United States and testify to Congress about their actions, while effectively turning on each other during questioning. Meanwhile, 141 returns to London to continue their pursuit of Makarov. Shadowing a Konni contact, the group discovers Makarov has received a flash drive that can allow him control of the UK's train network, and that he intends to destroy the Channel Tunnel. Backed up by a counter-terrorism unit, Price leads the assault to free hostages and stop Makarov. He and Soap locate a dirty bomb in the tunnel and attempt to defuse it, but are ambushed by Makarov, who tries to execute Price. Soap manages to intervene, but is killed by Makarov, who escapes. Ghost and Gaz arrive with reinforcements and help Price defuse the bomb. Afterwards, Price, Gaz, and Ghost scatter Soap's ashes off a cliff in Scotland while honoring his memories.
In a mid-credits scene, Price, with Laswell's aid, infiltrates Shepherd's office and assassinates him for his actions in Mexico.
