After which, once again, he seems perfectly fine. He then strangles antagonist Makarov with his bare hands, choking him with cable and falling 30 feet on broken glass. Price initially appears in bad shape, but it takes less than 60 seconds to regain his strength. Price manages to jump and climb into a helicopter, take out the duo inside, and then crash into the ground where it subsequently blows up. A spritely old Captain Price will still cut you if you think about acquiring uranium.Įxhibit C can be seen in the final moments of Modern Warfare 3.
Soap manages to save the day - but less than a minute later, Price regains consciousness, walks over to Soap, picks him up, and carries him to the rescue helicopter with barely a blemish on his face. For over a minute, Price’s face copped more blows than any boxer would ever like to take over the course of their career. Shepherd gets the upper hand and starts delivering what is quite possibly one of the worst beat downs ever seen. During the mission, Soap is taken down with a bad case of knife-in-chest and Price and Shepherd fight to the death. Towards the end of Modern Warfare 2 we see Price and Soap face off against Shepherd in the final battle. Price also shows examples of incredible healing. If we make a direct comparison from all five of his CoD appearances we can see that Price is definitely aging at a much slower rate than a normal human being. But maybe there are more grounded explanations for his apparent mortality… Wolverine, Is That You? It doesn’t seem likely he’s sold his soul to Satan if he defeats the world’s worst villains. We can rule out being a Vampire, as he doesn’t burn to a crisp in the sun … or sparkle. Even for a 64-year old, the second Price appears to have discovered the fountain of youth with the looks and mobility of someone 30 years his younger. This guy is 64? Nah, this guy ain't 64.īoth John Prices appear too similar to be considered different people. We know that the next three Modern Warfare games take place between the years 20, which makes Price 64 during his final appearance. The official record as reported in CoD: Infinity War says Price born on the 1st of November 1953, ostensibly making him 43 during this mission. Teaming up with Captain MacMillian is a Lieutenant named John Price, sporting many similar features to our World War 2 veteran. Evans’ mission was still ongoing, so there was no time to check for vital signs and Price was left as he fell.įast forward to 1996 and we see a very familiar name and face - a face that should be elderly and fragile by now. Evans, upon destroying the engines you see that Price appears KIA as he lies motionless on the floor of the engine room. Price supposedly met his death on October 27th, 1944, during the sabotage of the German Battleship Tirpitz. Captain Price's many faces over the years. Price doesn’t appear 18 in the game, but we’ll generously assume he was that kid we all knew in school who grew a moustache before anyone else. Price’s age is unknown during these events, but for argument’s sake we can compare him to Lofty Wiseman, the youngest person to ever join the Regiment at 18. Shortly after this, he was active during the battle of Caen which historically takes place between June and August, 1944. Thankfully we can go deeper: Although his current age was unknown, his first mission is during the Seizure of Pegasus Bridge, which historically took place on the 6th of June 1944. Broadly this falls between the dates September 1st, 1939 and September 2nd 1945. We first see Price during the events of the very first Call of Duty, taking place during World War 2. The moustache is the last thing bad guys see. It’s here that we start to look a little closer into Captain Price’s career to figure out some possible answers. As CoD has spanned multiple conflicts in multiple eras, it’s dragged Price along with it - and the logistics don’t reconcile with a normal human lifespan.
Through many years and a thick English accent, Price has mentored protagonists in crucial missions, turning the tide of battle in favour of the good guys.Įxcept it’s not quite years - it’s more like decades. Any Call of Duty (CoD) fan knows the name Captain John Price.
