The mountain ice cracks and splinters under the assault of your twin ice tools. Howling arctic can't quite dampen the crunch of Captain "Soap" Mactavish's crampons mere feet above you. Upon reaching the summit of your vertical endeavor, another obstacle impedes you: several yards of the path are missing. Mactavish's mad leap ends with his tools buried in the opposite wall. Following his example, you fling yourself into nothingness and the intensifying storm. The two of you are on your way to assault a fortified, secret enemy base with no support - a little thing like a mountaintop blizzard isn't about to stop you. For international elites like Task Force 141, this is one of the many faces of modern warfare.
