| “ | 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 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. | „ |

- In Operation: Kingfish, Price was tasked to stop and assassinate Makarov for the first time, but the operation failed and Price was captured and imprisoned to a gulag by Makarov.
- After escaping from the gulag thanks to Soap, he launched an SLBM to generate an EMP in Washington D.C. which ended up saving Foley, Dunn, Ramirez, and the other soldiers who were holding out during the siege of the White House by the Russians.
- Although the SLBM he launched killed US personnel, it was fully unintended as Price only intended to jam Russian technology to help the Americans.

- He has a lot of lethal and aggressive moments, such as him killing villains or torturing Al-Asad and Waraabe even if they deserved it.
