Fellow Escapists,
Before I get any farther into this post, I'd like to lay down a nice, hefty SPOILER ALERT. If you're one of the people who play Call of Duty games for the story, you might not want to read any farther, lest you lose any surprise in what you haven't already completed.
Anyway, I just finished gathering all the intel in the game, specifically the intel on the Rosulka, and upon reading the unlocked reports, the end of the final sheet hints that Hudson, Mason, and Weaver are (and I'm paraphrasing here), liabilities to the CIA, and should be summarily eliminated. A faux-mission of sorts is to be set up in Johannesburg, South Africa (Where intel readers will note that the brother of Dr. Clark, the character from the level "Numbers", resides), and the team are to be taken care of by an operative sent from the SAS, named Jonathan TheLastNameWasBlackedOut. The report is dated, if I remember correctly, 1978.
Obviously, we're looking at a sequel here.
Could this just be the anticipated cashing-in on the immense popularity of the series, documenting the survival of the operatives after the events of Black Ops, or are we witnessing an earlier mission of good ol' Captain Jon Price - between Pripyat and the Cargo Ship Op? Perhaps, and I'm only speculating here, he is in fact the SAS operative sent to kill BOp's protagonists. Perhaps he doesn't kill the trio at South Africa, and wherever they presumably go into hiding afterwards is where Nikolai plans to take Soap and Price ("Da, I know a place"), after the conclusion of MW2? Their plight, on the run from the very government that employed them, runs parallel to the hypothetical situation previously detailed.
Theories? Ideas? Am I just full of it?
