As the chaos intensifies in Verdansk and the Armistice alliance becomes strained beyond its breaking point, Shadow Company arrives.

They make an explosively memorable entrance, dropping in with style to make a statement and bolster the Allegiance, despite the company’s fireteam seemingly operating independently under their own set of rules.

With the situation in Verdansk looking bleak, a drastic action was needed to resolve the situation.

Task Force 141 was sent in under the leadership of Captain Price.

Despite Ghost's efforts, the operation exceeded the capabilities of a single operator; meaning reinforcements were deployed.

Alex, first thought to be KIA during the original campaign, was sent in.

The in-fight growing ever more severe, rather than fighting the terrorist threat, the soldiers were fighting amongst each other for survival by attempting to secure the limited means of escape as the chemical gas closes in.

The Armistice is now in disarray and the infighting has now grown to full-scale war.

The Al-Qatala took advantage of the circumstances and smuggled a nuclear weapon into the Verdansk.

Captain Price and other commanders of the Armistice send in a single operator to recover the nuke - Simon "Ghost" Riley.

Al-Qatala has taken a death blow after the success of the Spec Ops.

However, the Al-Qatala had plans to strike one critical weakness of the Armistice; their composition of otherwise opposing enemy factions.

An incident occurs that downs a cargo containing a chemical weapon, resulting in a faction conflict between the Allegiance and Coalition members of the Armistice; in order to obtain ownership of the weapon.
