I think I missed something somewhere. In Modern Warfare 2, you have to break Captain Price out of a high security prison in a fortress by the sea. Why was he in prison and when was this explained?

In the concluding fight of Modern Warfare 1 (the one on the bridge), it is implied that Price is killed (he gets shot a few times). However, it turns out that he was only captured (although you don't see him being captured as you're too busy doing your thing).

It wasn't fully explained, but my assumption is that he was left for dead by the SAS at the end of CoD4 and then captured by the Russians.

However, don't underestimate the power of mediocre writing/plot twists. He's been in every Infinity Ward Call of Duty game as a commander, even though their first two games were WWII. So if they wanted to bring him back in this one, nothing could stop them.

Maybe it is not the same Captain Price? Like the ones in WWII were his ancestors? – Lyrion Nov 3 '11 at 15:01
It is not the same Captain Price, they just happen to have the same name. He is indeed the grandfather of Captain John Price from the Modern Warfares. – SSumner Nov 3 '11 at 16:33

Well, yes I think it's pretty obvious that he's not immortal. My point was that it's a quirk of Infinity Ward's games. – Magnakai Nov 3 '11 at 17:05

When Kamarov's men thought Price was dead the russians found him alive and brought him to their prison.

Could you point me to a source for that, or are you just speculating? – Josefvz Nov 21 '12 at 6:43

He was wanted by the ultra-nationalists for trying to assassinate and killing Zakeahv in 96 and 11.
