Plot
The game begins with Mason, Frank Woods, and Joseph Bowman attempting to assassinate
Fidel Castro during the
Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba as a part of
Operation 40. Mason apparently succeeds in the assassination, but their exfiltration goes awry, with Mason staying behind to protect the extraction plane. He is captured by the real Castro and the Cuban military. Having formed an alliance with the
Soviet Union, Castro hands Mason over to General Nikita Dragovich. Mason is then held captive at
Vorkuta Gulag for two years.
During his imprisonment, Mason befriends Viktor Reznov, a former
Red Army soldier. Reznov recounts Mason the identities of those involved in Mason’s torture: Dragovich, Lev Kravchenko, and an ex-Nazi scientist who defected to the Soviet Union, Friedrich Steiner. All three share a connection to Reznov: in October 1945, Reznov, Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Dimitri Petrenko were a part of a unit sent to locate Steiner. During the operation, Reznov was betrayed by Dragovich, who uses Steiner's creation, a
nerve agent known as "Project Nova" on Petrenko. Reznov is spared when British SAS commandos attack. During the confusion, he destroys Project Nova. It is salvaged by the Russians, becoming known as "Nova-6". Shortly afterward, Reznov is imprisoned in Vorkuta. Mason and Reznov spark a prisoner uprising to escape the gulag, but only Mason escapes.
One month later, President
John F. Kennedy authorizes the assassination of Dragovich. In November 1963, Mason, Woods and Bowman are dispatched to
Baikonur Cosmodrome in the
Kazakh SSR to disrupt the
Soviet space program, rescue Russian-born CIA agent Grigori Weaver, and eliminate members of the Soviet Ascension program. Dragovich eludes assassination, prompting Mason to search for him over the next five years.
By 1968, the SOG is deployed in
Vietnam to investigate the Soviets' presence. After
defending Khe Sanh, the SOG is deployed to
Hue during the
Tet Offensive to recover a dossier with information on Dragovich from a Russian defector. The team recovers the dossier, while Mason encounters Reznov, who is revealed to be the defector. During the Vietnam campaign, dialogue hints that Mason is mentally unstable, and that Reznov may not exist. The team penetrates
Laos to recover a Nova-6 shipment from a downed Soviet plane. The mission goes awry and the team is captured. Mason and Reznov escape, but Bowman is executed and Woods died after killing Kravchenko. Meanwhile, Hudson and Weaver interrogate Clarke, an engineer who stabilized Nova-6 in
Kowloon. Clarke identifies Steiner as part of the conspiracy, and reveals the location of a hidden facility in
Mount Yamantau before being killed by Dragovich's men. Hudson and Weaver head to Mount Yamantau to destroy the facility and apprehend Steiner. During the mission, Hudson receives a transmission from Steiner requesting to meet him at
Rebirth Island in the
Aral Sea to learn how to halt a
numbers broadcast with instructions to release Nova-6 gas in American cities. Meanwhile, Mason and Reznov head to Rebirth Island to assassinate Steiner. Reznov executes Steiner, but Hudson witnesses Mason carrying out the deed.
At this point, Hudson and Weaver are revealed as Mason's interrogators. Hudson realizes that Dragovich brainwashed Mason to understand the numbers broadcasts, effectively becoming a Soviet
sleeper agent. Out of options, Hudson deliberately sets Mason free in order to follow him. It is revealed that Reznov died during the Vorkuta break out, and Mason’s visions of Reznov are a result of a
personality disorder, a byproduct of Reznov having sabotaged Mason’s brainwashing program. Mason was supposed to assassinate Kennedy, but Reznov reprogrammed him to track down and kill the three men responsible for Dimitri Petrenko's betrayal and death. Hudson plays the numbers recording for Mason a final time, prompting him to remember the location of the Russian cargo ship
Rusalka off the coast of Cuba.
By dawn, the team launches an assault on the
Rusalka, with Mason and Hudson infiltrating an underwater broadcast station protected by the ship, a Soviet submarine station intended to be used as a staging point for US invasion after the planned Nova-6 attack. Confirming that the
Rusalka is the numbers station, Hudson calls in the
US Navy to destroy the ship and its underwater base. Mason and Hudson finally kill Dragovich in the lower levels of the station, and swim for the surface during the destruction of the targets. Weaver declares victory, but Mason is unsure. Later, a new numbers transmission is given, implying that a permanent broadcast station had already been installed some time before the
Rusalka's destruction. The story then cuts to archive footage of President Kennedy prior to his assassination, with the broadcaster and Mason narrating random numbers. After a second play-through of the archive footage, Mason’s final words, as well as his presence in the crowd greeting Kennedy's motorcade, suggest that he
assassinated Kennedy.
