[[folder:Modern Warfare series]]
* Let's begin with the single most possibly badass. The climax of ''Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2''. [[spoiler: Captain "Soap" [=MacTavish=] has been utterly fucked around with for the past few hours, and at long last, while speedboating on a river, his partner Captain Price brings the traitorous General Shepherd's helicopter down with a few well placed sniper rounds... only for the two to be unable to reverse their boat's momentum, causing them to go over a waterfall. Coughing up lungs when awakening, Soap draws his knife and proceeds to stalk and stumble his way over to the burning helicopter, passing by the pilot, who vainly tries to hold him off with a Glock pistol that clicks empty, then Soap (optionally) proceeds to kill him. He then stalks the surviving, fleeing "foot-mobile" Shepherd towards a car. However, when he tries to stab Shepherd, Shepherd hooks his arm, bounces his head off of the car, proceeds to kneel down over the dazed Soap, draw his own knife, and bury it in Soap's chest. Shepherd pulls out his revolver, and proceeds to point it at Soap's head, pausing only to deliver his MotiveRant while loading it, but [[BigDamnHeroes Price dives to save Soap just in time]], knocking away the gun right as it's fired. Soap crawls over to the gun while Shepherd and Price fight, smoothly ignoring the knife buried in his chest, and nearly gets to it... only for the knocked down Price to land behind the weapon, and Shepherd's foot kicking it away. Soap is kicked onto his back, wheezing and definitely dying, and Shepherd proceeds to curb-stomp Soap right in the face to near-unconsciousness. Shepherd then goes over to beat the barely-conscious Price into pulp on the sand while Soap merely watches, fading in and out of brief moments of consciousness. Soap then looks over to the knife buried in his chest, and then realises that he has a knife ''in arms reach''. Shepherd, meanwhile, is busy beating Price's face in when Soap pulls Shepherd's own knife very agonizingly out of his chest, calmly spins it on his finger like it was not just embedded in his torso, and grips the blade for a throw. Right as you pull the trigger to throw the thing (and, if you wait long enough before doing so, you might hear Soap softly whispering Sheperd's name), Shepherd looks up, and you throw the knife ''[[EyeScream right into his eye socket, killing him]]''. Let's review. Soap ''pulls a knife out of his own chest and throws it into his would-be killer's eye''.]] Holy shit.
* "[[spoiler:PRICE]], DO YOU COPY? THE [[spoiler:SILO DOORS]] ARE OPEN, I REPEAT, THE [[spoiler:SILO DOORS]] ARE OPEN!"
** "Good."
* Ice axe. Snowmobile. Clothesline. 'Nuff said.
* Speaking of [[spoiler:Soap]], he gets another Moment of Awesome much earlier while [[spoiler:chasing down Rojas, and NPC team mate Ghost calls out "He's getting away!" To which Soap calmly replies, "No he's not." And then, from above the player, Soap tackles Rojas through a window and onto the roof of a car, promptly getting to one knee with his pistol drawn.]] This man has [[TookALevelInBadass taken about twenty levels in badass]] since his last appearance.
* There's also the moment earlier in the prison mission [[spoiler: where you find Captain Price alive.]] Doubles as a [=Crowning Moment of Funny=].
-->[[spoiler: '''Price''': [''after knocking Roach down''] Soap?]]
--> '''Soap''' [''handing [[spoiler: Price]] a pistol'']: This belongs to you sir.
--> '''Worm''': Who's Soap?
** What makes this moment even better is that, as you will notice, that pistol is the 1911 [[spoiler: that Price passed to Soap so he could kill Zakhaev at the end of [=MW1=].]]
** Where did [[spoiler: Captain Price]] get his chain from? ''He was shackled with it.'' [[spoiler:After his prison is invaded, he takes the opportunity to choke his solitary guard, then when the breach occurs, moves him in front of the bullets without missing a beat if the player chooses to fire, then ''knocks the PC down'' and takes his gun. The subtitles going "Captain Price" is icing on the cake.]]
*** His very appearance was a Moment of Awesome. First you get knocked on your ass and when you come to you're staring up at what looks like a crusty old sea captain. A moment later you find out that he isn't just a crusty old captain, he's a crusty old captain who was last seen being revived by a Russian guy (which was assumed to have failed).
** Along the same lines as the venerable Reznov, Sgt. Foley puts the BadAss into AuthorityEqualsAsskicking and then some. To start he's voiced by [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Keith]] [[{{Halo}} Fucking ]] [[MassEffect David]]. Then he's got a slew of awesome lines from "Get a grip, Corporal! Our weapons still work, which means we can still kick some ass!" when [[spoiler:the EMP starts dropping helicopters down around them like hail and they're still outnumbered by the opposing Russians]] to "Take us up! If we're going down, we're taking those SAM sites with us!" when [[spoiler:the chopper your squad is riding in is critically damaged, instead of trying to limp away.]] But the most awesome aspect of this truly awesome individual is how he takes his soldiers through one nightmare scenario after another and somehow manages to keep his men together and motivated throughout, and continually puts [[strike:himself and his squad]] Ramirez on the line to defend others. [[spoiler:When a squad of Russians are bearing down on the weapons cache he's taken, and Command is telling him to get the hell out of Dodge, what does he say? "Forget saving ourselves, we're going to stay here and provide support for the fleeing civilians for as long as possible!" If Shepherd wanted to inspire the American people to stand up and fight, he should have just cloned a bunch of Sgt. Foleys and put them in command of every front-line unit;]] almost every moment in his presence is a Moment of Awesome.
*** Worth noting is the intro to "Exodus." Shepherd asks Foley to perform a critical mission to stop the Russians, and Foley's response? "Point it out on a map, sir. They won't take it." The way he ''says'' it is the kicker, here; it isn't a promise. It's simply a statement. It's a fact, as simple as the sky is blue. [[HoldTheLine They will hold the line.]]
**** Doubles as a bit of a heartwarming moment when you realize how much faith the man has in his men.
**** "Squad, we still got 2000 civvies in Arcadia. If you've got a family there, it's your lucky day - we're gonna go save their lives!"
* The ISS interactive cutscene. You know the one.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c8ZMlRfXYA] 
* The [[BadassCreed speech]] given by [[spoiler:Captain Price]] in the opening cutscene of "Just Like Old Times", in response to [[spoiler:General Shepherd's betrayal]], is positively dripping with [[WarriorPoet poetic awesome]]:
-->"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."
* Driving a vehicle ''one-handed'' onto the ramp of a moving plane, with the original driver having just been shot. Holy crap.
** Possible CMOA goes to the original driver as well, Rook. Even though he's only driving a jeep against [[spoiler:Shadow Company technicals]], the fact that he can force vehicles so much heavier then the jeep without causing much damage to the jeep itself deserves praise.
* Price's intro to ''Endgame''
-->This is for the record.
-->History is written by the victor.
-->History is filled with liars.
-->If he lives, and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost.
-->[[spoiler:Shepherd]] will be a hero. 'cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood.
-->He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history.
-->His truth will be the truth.
-->But only if he lives, and we die.

Deleted line(s) 85,105 (click to see context) :

* While [[spoiler: General Shepherd]] is unmistakably the BigBad, the fact that he actually manages to execute his entire plan flawlessly [[spoiler: except for not surviving to see the results]] despite [[spoiler: Price throwing an honest-to-god SpannerInTheWorks]] is still damned impressive, even though we're not rooting for him. It is not possible to listen to him at the very end when he, in simple, honest words, finally explains his motivation and still feel like you can judge him based on BlackAndWhiteMorality.
--> ''"Five years ago, I lost thirty-thousand men in the blink of an eye, and the world just fuckin' watched. But, tomorrow, there will be no shortage of patriots, no shortage of volunteers. I know you understand."''
* Okay, Private James Ramirez may not be as badass as Price or Soap, but he deserves some props for all the crap that went down in D.C. Saving "Raptor," protecting evacuees, taking out enemy anti-armor troops and even enemy armor, gunning down Russian troops while trapped inside a crashed helicopter, awesome. Then in ''Whiskey Hotel'', you manage to retake the White House ''without'' electronic supports (not even powered small arms optics), but have to ignite and frantically wave green flares atop the roof to (narrowly) prevent friendly air power from bombing your position. Anyways, as your squad gathers up on the roof and talks about payback (granted, they're all [[spoiler: [[UnwittingPawn pawns in Shepherd's plan]],]] but really awesome pawns at that) you look over the devastated city, and start to see green smoke rising over other famous D.C. landmarks; looks like Ivan may be in trouble, eh?
** Made even more awesome when a random NPC delivers the following simple line at the resolution of the above-mentioned Moment of Awesome: "So when we goin' to Moscow?" Corporal Dunn, who, up until this point, had been your obligatory DeadpanSnarker and apparent {{Expy}} of Hudson from ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', responds to that line with this one: "Not soon enough, man. But I know we're gonna burn it down when we get there." It's also a meta-CrowningMomentOfFunny for anyone who recognizes that Dunn's voice actor is Barry Pepper, whose last notable videogame role was [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} someone who could single-handedly accomplish this in bloody fashion.]]
** In terms of melee badassery, Sgt. Foley in the same game takes the cake. He doesn't bother with fancy hip tosses or gun butts, he just kicks the other guy over and executes him. Do not mess with Foley.
* In "Cliffhanger", after meeting up with Captain Mactavish behind the hanger you sneak in. Suddenly Mactavish starts sprinting down the hall and body-checks a guard into the lockers at the far end, knocking him to the ground where the good Captain proceeds to knife him.
* Taking out an AC-130 with a Predator missile? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1SUIQlEuCs Why the hell not?]]
* Raiding the [[ThatOneLevel Gulag]] is ''hardcore''. No, seriously. [[ModernWarfare Try it on Veteran.]]
* This exchange from [=MW2=]:
---> [[spoiler:'''Price:''']] Contact. Enemy patrol 30 meters to our front. Five men, automatic rifles, frag grenades. One German Shepherd.
---> '''Soap:''' Dogs... I hate dogs.
---> [[spoiler:'''Price:''']] These Russian dogs are like pussycats compared to the ones in Pripyat.
---> '''Soap:''' It's good to have you back, old man.
---> [[spoiler:'''Price:''']] Roger that.
* Makarov. Just...fucking Makarov. Say what you will about him, his speech in the ''Infamy'' trailer was epic.
* Soap's riot shield takedown: He runs up to the opposing baddie, smacks him down on the ground with the riot shield, and while the man on the ground is trying to recover, Soap takes out [[spoiler:Price's Colt. 45 from the last game]] and shoots him with it, looking very calm.
* [[spoiler: ''[[TitleIn "Of Their Own Accord"; Washington, D.C.]]'']]
* [[spoiler: Price]] gets an indirect one in "Just Like Old Times"
--->[[spoiler: '''Shadow Company HQ''']]: "Disciple Nine, you rear guard just flatlined!"
--->'''Disciple 9''': "Not possible. We just cleared that area. Nobody's that goo-"
--->[[spoiler: '''Shepherd''': "It's Price."]] The implication? [[spoiler: Captain Price is that good.]]
