#cod MacMillan

[laswells-ashtray]

COD characters as a list of stupid things my family members [or I] have done: The sequel.

Price: Accidentally ran over his own cat.

MacMillan: Had a heart attack on his own birthday.

Ghost: Decided that alcoholism was also a good way to treat his schizophrenia.

Gaz: Drunkenly shot a man in the eye with a BB-gun.

Soap: Repeatedly taunted a man chasing him with a shotgun just for the bit.

Laswell: Had a kid that was being bullied in school and when the kid fought back, his bully and the bully's grandmother turned up at her front door to complain. Let the bully's grandmother shout and scream in her face before eventually saying "You better hope that boy doesnae end up like his father", slamming the door in the grandmother's face and listening to her sob outside the door. The bully's father had walked out into a field and set himself on fire less than a year before.

Nikolai: Blackmailed his daughter's convicted murderer husband despite being an elderly man just because his daughter and said murderer had a child together and that was his favourite grandchild.

Valeria: Was such an infamous drug dealer that people only went to her funeral to make sure she was dead.

Alejandro: Fucked with the breaks on someone's car because they stole from his daughter.

Rudy: Earned the nickname "The Iron Giant" and a very feared reputation in prison despite being a 5'4 man who worked out and only ever killed one guy.

Graves: Spent a year living in America, lived in the same building as and shared an elevator with Glenn Close.

Alex: Subjected a woman to moderate psychological torture for the bit, the bit being a gnome called Claude.

Farah: Once ordered a child to kick her elderly ex-mother-in-law after seeing her in public because she wanted to see the ex-mil fall over.

And obviously, some additions:

Adler: Repeatedly dropped his newborn daughter down a flight of stairs, no one knows if it was an accident or not.

Mason: Was asked/ordered not to return to church.

Woods: Helped a friend who owned a bar, after being accused of stealing from said bar, beat the life out of the friend. Weeks later the friend comes back because without his help the bar's business was failing and he returns, only after making the friend apologise to him for being a twat.

With Price's old man dead, it falls to Mac to do the embarrassing shit like show Nik the proverbial baby photos. In the absence of a bare-arsed Baby Price in the bath tub, Mac falls back on all the embarrassing, grainy photographs and footage he has of Lieutenant Price fresh out of selection being an absolute goofball on main.

Mac has a few with Nik and the 141 at the stag do and whips out a video he has of Price dancing to Soulja Boy with a bunch of Iraqi boys in Helmand. Price is twenty-one in the video. A whole year before he met Nikolai in The Phoenix and convinced him to flip sides. It instantly becomes Nik's favourite image of his captain; laughing, bright-eyed, and floundering around like a Labrador pup with paws that are too big for him.

Soap and Gaz watch the bloody thing on repeat and spend the next few weeks until the wedding perfecting the moves. Price is just about hammered enough at his own reception that he joins in when they get the DJ to play the tune so they can tear up the dance floor.

Old man still has the moves sixteen years later.

🔥(Garrison’s sat at the bar counter, talking up the bar keep that’s there as he waits on his, well. He supposes friend?

He’d decided to come a bit early. He figured older folk would appreciate it- on time is late, early is on time. Some shit like that.

He’s dressed in his civilian clothing. Carharrt jacket, wife beater, bell bottoms.. the works. He hasn’t ordered a drink just yet.)

(He's late.)

(Okay, maybe not late late. He shows up five minutes before their agreed time. But it's late for him. Making great impressions every day, MacMillan. Fuck's sake.)

(...It's a strange thing, to see Mac outside of uniform. He actually bothered to dig up a nicer shirt. He spots Garrison — fuck Mac's life, the man is wearing flared jeans — and pats his shoulder while walking up next to him to rest at the bar.)

Sergeant.

I played COD mw4 again after I think 12 years....sorry xD

[greeneyedsigma]

Part of a scene I wrote, part of a conversation between Price and MacMillan (I just thought it was funny):

“Aye, and one of our new recruits, Sergeant Georgia Sanderson.”

“Georgia? A hen?”

“We do have a few of those around these days.”

“Still weird to hear.”

“That’s because Kate Laswell is the only woman you’ve worked with in at least ten years.”

“That’s hardly true. I work with Farah all the time.” John is frowning; MacMillan just knows it.

“Oh, excuse me, English. Two women, I’ll mark that down.”

John snorted, “I just find it hard to believe the SAS finally pulled itself into the modern age by allowing it.”

It breaks my heart how some people don't know how much information they are missing out on in the games.

Did you know Gaz specializes in interrogation, not Ghost or Price, Gaz.

Did you know the first mission of the original first game is cannon to Soap? Did you know that not only did he lock a mp in the trunk of a car. Which we all know, but also that while on patrol when they were attacked and the machine gun malfunctioned. So Soap stripped the weapon and reassembled it before firing 150 single shots, re-cocking the gun for every round. And claimed Any and all of his comrades would have done the same thing?

Did you know All Gillied up is still canon and MacMillan still owes Price a favor presumably? Did you know MacMillan was still cannon? That also means Imran Zakhaev is still alive?

There are so many things people just don't know and it breaks my heart because these are some of my favorite fun facts.

On the other side of this:

Captain Price switches places with Lieutenant Price, now he's back in his old stomping grounds, face-to-face with Captain MacMillan who's like "oh so you do eventually grow up". Young Laswell is losing her mind ("Who are you? John? Uh, no you're not, you actually seem like you have your shit together"). Price can't help but have missed this version of her while still missing who she grew into. Young Nik takes one look at Price and decides to up the flirting to 200%. And Price is charmed by this, while Mac is disappointed.

[ask-macmillan]

Y'have fun?

Don’ ever try t’out smoke th’general.

[laswells-ashtray]

Mac looks between the two with something between exasperation and disgust.

"Nae shaggin in the hangar."

Nikolai won't make eye contact with him, and Mac can see the faint shaking of his shoulders as he tries to conceal his laughter.

John's face is like a skelped arse, red from his ears all the way down his neck.

"We weren't shagging. Christ, Mac."

He can't help the bark of laughter that escapes him.

"Ye wernae a bawhair aff it. A've seen enough ae yer arse tae last a fuckin life time. Drawers up in the bloody hangar, ye dirty pair a gits."

He offers himself the kindness of walking away as Nikolai mutters something suggestive to his sergeant and John smacks him over the back of the head.

What young price was thinking while with Macmillan

Don’t know if the link will work but fuck it we ball

Lmao! This is fantastic. Just that weird little guy thirsting over his CO, perhaps awkwardly flirting now and then and Mac's response eventually being, "oh, son, naw," with the pitying look you'd give a horny puppy with its lipstick out.

I love the idea that Mac is a relatively normal dude (pragmatic, down to earth) that surrounds himself with eccentric but brilliant people. Price then does exactly the same throughout his career, except he's absolutely never been Normal in his life.

🔥(It had been such a long time since Garrison truly felt flustered after a night in with someone.

But as he sits on the Major General’s desk, near naked as the day he was born outside of what the compression wear brought, cigarette between his lips, he finds himself shaking a bit as he tugs on his compression sleeve.

How did he get here? What things did he say, what god above guided him to this spot, in this moment?

He tugs on his glove.

He takes the cigarette out from between his lips and blows smoke away from the General as he glances at him sideways.)

Well.. Hell, sir. If anyone’s got any doubt y’don’ got it, I’ll be first t’punch ‘em square n’th’jaw.

(Mac chuckles, grabbing his shirt and tugging it backon.)

Y're funny, sweet'eart. (He murmurs, making his way back to Garrison. He looks at the man for a moment.)

...Y'solid?

[ask-macmillan]

S'possible. Been real nostalgic, recently...

When's th'last time you an' I actually went out somewhere fer drinks, Johnnyboy?

Continuing to get creative with blank slate characters from the original MW trilogy for use in a fanfic with MacMillan.

(Robert?) (Lachlan?) MacMillan

55 years old

Major General/Commander of Special Forces

Silver-streaked red hair and dark green eyes

6’3. Price compares him to a wolf. All predator. Long strong limbs and the tendency to gather his operatives like a pack.

Has been married for 30 years to his wife Maggie. They have five kids. 27-year-old twin boys (Erik and Ewan), their 25-year-old daughter (Madeline), their 23-year-old boy (Arthur) and their 10-year-old oops baby, Alex.

After Shepherd’s betrayal and death, Price hands oversight control of the 141 to MacMillan. Price trusts MacMillan, implicitly, as his former Captain. MacMillan’s happy to have 4 of his best operatives back.

MacMillan’s never been the type of officer with something to prove. He’s in charge and everyone knows it. He rarely yells. He doesn’t dish out arbitrary punishments. But everybody knows when he’s pissed off. His temper is cold, and if you’re the one to piss him off? Like being burned by ice.

Edit to add: MacMillan was/is secretly a metalhead. Occasionally you can hear him blast music if you you pass his office in the evening. His wife was the singer for a metal band when she was in her early 20s.
