why did price launched the nukes

why did shepard kill the roach and ghost

SPOILERS!

1. Price didn't launch the nukes - someone else did. They were trying to prevent the nukes from being launched.

2. Shepard wanted revenge for the 30,000 soldiers killed in the first COD Modern Warfare. He got a blank check to do that. He had his own selfish intentions is mine.

Since we're talking spoilers, why did the story end with so many loose ends?

The answer to your last question is SEQUAL

I thought Price launched them to give the Americans a reason to war

Ultimately the result of No Russians was to give the Soviets Moral High Ground

In the mission with the nuke launch Price is heard to mutter the only way to put out a fire is with a bigger fire.

Hence the Russian Nuke launch and detonation over American Soil

I believe he launched them to help the conflict on the east cost.

Shepard did what he did because they had the intel of Makrov. Shepard knows he can take out Makrov, but he wants the backing of the US and by giving the russians the ACS module and the American soldier to Makrov to double cross (at the end of the airport scene), it created the war he wants. He kills Ghost and Roach because they got the information that would stop Makrov. The invasion is essentially set up by him to encourage the people of the US to take up arms and get revenge. He wants to use his new money and power to become a global hero and write history as he wants. "There will be no shortage of patriots"

i got a question. why does this story suck so bad???

I guess I was too tired. Wow.

I finished the game - working on my second playthrough. I'll look for that again.

@ Illegal - excellent analysis.
