Infinity Ward’s success in 2022, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (not to be confused with Modern Warfare 2 from 2009) offered gamers a more streamlined military thriller that focused less on the events of World War III and the plot of James Bond in the Connery era. Instead, it focuses excessively on personal interactions, government corruption, and the consequences of allowing private armies to make decisions without proper oversight.
It is revealed that the leader of PMC’s Shadow Company, Phillip Graves, is corrupt and working with General Shepard to quietly cover up their involvement in allowing American missile systems to fall into the hands of Iranian terrorists. Graves apparently dies after the player destroys the tank they controlled, but the process felt too easy for some. Did Philip Graves Really Die in Modern Warfare II?
Tank fight
The player encounters Graves and a detachment of Shadow Company mercenaries who have taken a Mexican Special Forces air base for themselves. Trapping graves near the car depot He appears to be in command of a tank and confronts the player as they are being chased through a fenced training area. The boss battle itself is presented as a semi-tutorial for fighting armored vehicles in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer modes, such as Ground War and Invasion. As it patrols the grounds, shooting the player if it spots it, reinforcements climb around the far end of the fence to go after the player.
Forced to scour the battlefield, the player will lower the tank’s armor with C4 and missile launchers, all while taunting Graves until finally, the tank rises in a ball of smoke and fire. That should be the end of this and Graves’ story, however Players have noticed anomalies in battle that may indicate Graves is not dead In the destroyed tank hull.
Guide
First, the player never sees Commander Graves enter the tank before fighting the boss. Throughout Modern Warfare 2’s entire campaign, the game regularly presents perspectives and moments that the heroes, Ghost, Soap Mactavish, Gaz, and Captain Price, cannot know, allowing the player to see perspectives that the characters do not have. However, the player does not see Phillip Graves in person at any point during this mission, and only encounters him after he ambushes the player in the tank. After destroying the tank, No attempt is made to examine the wreckage for a body, which would have been rendered unrecognizable by the explosion and the resulting fire.
Second, Graves taunts the player during combat using the tank’s intercom. At no point during combat does his tone, manner, or clarity of voice change, even as the tank gets more and more damaged as the fight progresses. He never stutters, gets angry, becomes static, or breaks down as the tank nears destruction. With Infinity Ward’s obsession with every detail in this game, Not having a voice reaction as he approached death’s door seemed like a huge mistake.
It may never have been in the tank This is where the theories begin to pile up. Graves is no fool, and trapping himself as he appears to have done in the campaign is a fool’s errand. Graves and his top lieutenants supposedly run and run when they see the writing on the wall and use a tank battle, with Graves giving a remote commentary, as A way to fake their deaths and get off the radar. Presumed dead, the Shadow Company will be dissolved and face international scrutiny from lawmakers as the United States tries to get rid of them and General Shepherd, who also disappeared around the same time, Under the bus to minimize damage to America’s reputation.
Players will have to wait and see if this theory holds up, and if so, will Shepard and Graves reappear in the future, possibly as part of Modern Warfare II’s successful ongoing live service support for story and multiplayer content? If this theory turns out to be a reality, then TF 141 and its players will engage in the fight of their lives against well-trained, well-connected men who have nothing to lose. And everything to earn.
