A brutal Price eventually gets the best of him, and relentlessly punches him in the face, until Modern Warfare greatest villain was no more.

Graves

In the mission Hired Gun, Price and Valeria are stopped by Shadow Company in a railyard while on a train to Paris. After battling through many Soldiers, Price shoots down the helicopter that Graves was flying around in, taunting them. What ensues is a boss fight of sorts, Graves is in a full armored juggernaut suit, and once defeated a cutscene plays. Price immobilizes Graves, and after Graves tries to make a deal with him to ‘come back’ from all that he’s done, Price shoot him in the head.

Valeria

A rumble ensues, which ends with The Archer shooting Valeria in the head after she tried to attack them for breaking their deal.

Ri Seung-Ho

At the end of the mission Assassins, it’s revealed that The Archer and Ri Seung-Ho’s Sister, Ri Ju-Young have been plotting to over through his Supreme Leadership. Which ends in a quick, emotional death by the hands of his own sister, to take over as Supreme Leader herself, as The Archer didn’t like how Ri Seung-Ho was against wars.

Cho – Private on Sierra-1

Across the two mission Survivors, and Stranded; Sierra-1 is shot down out of their plane, crash landing during a snow storm in the middle of Hajin. Cho, a Private on Sierra-1, was injured and carried by Park to a nearby safehouse where he could rest. With his condition critical, Park continues work during the mission Stranded, and once completed, it’s revealed that Cho didn’t make it, and is left in the safehouse.

Gaz

Once captured, Price, Ghost, and Gaz were all placed in the same room together until The Archer appears and reveals he will blame the start of numerous new wars on the SAS, using them to do it. In a shocking moment after Gaz tells The Archer he won’t get away with it, The Archer shoots him in the head. Ghost and Price instantly start yelling and are devastated by what had just happened.

Revealed to be Ghost with reinforcements, Price goes after The Archer through the woods, even though he has been impaled by a metal pipe from the crash. Eventually catching up to him, Price uses the metal pipe from his side to kill The Archer once and for all.

John Price

Due to blood loss after defeating The Archer, Price is left to bleed out on the ice, but he isn’t alone. Ghost appears and asks Price ‘if it was worth it’ which Price replies that Gaz was right, and tells Ghost to ‘Hold the Line’ as he takes his last breath.
