History WebVideo / FindMakarov

''Find Makarov'' is a series of WebOriginal {{Fan Film}}s based on the ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' series and notable for ''very'' high quality acting and special effects. Details Captain Price and "Soap" [=MacTavish=]'s quest to eliminate the [[spoiler:decoy]] BigBad of the second game (and [[spoiler:actual]] of the third), Vladimir Makarov.

So far, two films have been released:

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0TSDgDJ3sc Find Makarov]]'' is largely a live-action retelling of the ''[=MW2=]'' ending, followed by a teaser of Price and Soap paradropping in Moscow [[spoiler:during the US invasion of Russia]].
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY5bJxNb8hg Operation Kingfish]]'' is an {{Interquel}} between two first games, made with Activision's blessing, that tells of the eponymous assassination attempt on Makarov gone bad. Shows [[spoiler:how Price was captured by the Russians]].

The films themselves, the second in particular, aren't entirely canon [[note]](fans had previously assumed that Price had been captured after the end of ''[=MW1=]'')[[/note]] but they're still fun. ''Operation Kingfish'' however, is constantly referenced throughout the third ''Modern Warfare'' game, meaning the operation still happened in the game proper.

!!Tropes found in this series include:

* BraveScot: Soap.
* CallForward: Soap putting the knife into Makarov's eye at the end of ''Kingfish''. [[spoiler: It's where he hits Shepherd with a similar knife late in ''Modern Warfare 2''.]]

* DeathFromAbove: Spectre.

* TheFaceless: Ghost and Roach. Frost as well, since his face is mostly obscured by the Ghillie suit he wears, as well as being obscured by his helmet and goggles.
* ForegoneConclusion: If you've played ''Modern Warfare 2'' and ''3'', you already know how ''Find Makarov'' and especially ''Op. Kingfish'' will end. Doesn't mean they are not worth watching, though.

* TooDumbToLive: Frankly, the AC-130 in Operation Kingfish deserved to be shot down for flying that low near enemies armed with [=MANPADs=] and ''RPG-7s''. Idiots.
* YouShallNotPass: Price in ''Kingfish''.

* TooDumbToLive: Frankly, the AC-130 in Operation Kingfish deserved to be shot down for flying that low near enemies armed with [=MANPADs=]. Idiots.

->'''Shepherd:''' ''"I know. Tell me about Price..."''

* CallForward: Soap putting the knife into Makarov's eye at the end of ''Kingfish''.

The films themselves, the second in particular, aren't entirely canon [[note]](fans had previously assumed that Price had been captured after the end of ''[=MW1=]'', and there's a ContinuitySnarl with Soap having his pistol in ''[=MW2=]'')[[/note]] but they're still fun. ''Operation Kingfish'' however, is constantly referenced throughout the third ''Modern Warfare'' game, meaning the operation still happened in the game proper.

** [[spoiler: The situations of Price and Sandman during the exfiltration. In ''Modern Warfare 3'', it's Sandman who covers Price, while here, it's Price doing the covering.]]

* TheFaceless: Ghost and Roach.
* ForegoneConclusion: If you've played ''Modern Warfare 2'', you already know how ''Find Makarov'' and especially ''Op. Kingfish'' will end. Doesn't mean they are not worth watching, though.

* AscendedFanon: ''Operation Kingfish'', at least according to the Call of Duty Wiki, is now considered as canon by Infinity Ward.
