Cpt. John Price (Voiced by: Billy Murray) - The main protagonist of the game, responsible for keeping the stability of his team, though he is not playable until the game's final mission, "Dust to Dust". He is emotionally attached to Soap as his "blood brother", due to his heavy respect towards him, and he experienced irascibility towards Yuri after Soap's death, due to Soap hinting that "Makarov...knows...Yuri..."
Though Yuri gained his trust, Price's behavior towards Yuri became a little more hostile when Price learns of his association with Makarov, though he is saddened by his death in the final mission. After a brief struggle, Price is severely wounded after strangling and killing antagonist Makarov. It is not clear whether he survived his wounds.
Cpt. John "Soap" MacTavish (Voiced by: Kevin McKidd) - The secondary protagonist of the game. He is not a playable character, but the game's view is switched to his perspective during the opening of the game, similar that of to President Al-Fulani from Call of Duty 4. He was mortally wounded after killing Lt. General Shepherd by launching a throwing knife into his eye in Modern Warfare 2. However, he joins the player on most missions involving Yuri and is deemed as a very important role in running the game's storyline smoothly. He is killed when his attempt with Price and Yuri to assasinate Makarov fails, and an explosion resulted in him falling from a great height, which reopens his knife wound. Despite Price and Yuri's attempt to save him, he eventually dies from blood loss, leading to Captain Price's anguish.

Yuri was also with Makarov in the Middle East, when the latter detonated the nuclear bomb that killed 30,000 American soldiers. That event caused Yuri to realize that Makarov was a monster, and attempted to contact the F.S.B. to warn them of the massacre of Zakhaev International Airport. He was found out and shot by Makarov himself and left for dead. However, Yuri was rescued by members of the Russian Police, and vowed for revenge on Makarov. [2] He was killed by Makarov in "Dust to Dust", but his death brought Price time to kill the notorious terrorist.
