People have said it could be a couple of things: 1. It’s Yuri surviving the shot and rescuing Price but given it was changed to a headshot in the final product doubtful 2. Price is hallucinating as he’s dying and sees the ghost of either Zakhev or Soap 3. It was going to be one of Task Force Stalker saving Price at the last moment and setting up Ghosts

[@moizv4771]

Could be either however the model of the mystery man is that of the FSO officer from the mission "Turbulence" in MW3 (2011)

It couldn't be a setup for ghosts I can tell you that much. Remember by that time in the game a united south America was already at war with the USA. That never happened in mw3. Also remember the world was hit with the Odin orbital weapon causing deep craters around major city's. So it cant take place in mw3s timeline.

I heard from some people ghosts was originally supposed to be a Modern warfare game. If this theory was supposedly true.This would mean that if the cut ending was true, the ominous man at the end would probably either be the villain for the next game. Given that allegedly Ghosts was supposed to be A MW game we can suspect it to be Rorke (TO an extent). Another theory that could sort of make sense given that the asset used for the ominous man seems to be from the "Turbulence" mission. This could potentially mean that the ominous man is infact a FSO officer who was likely surveiling the entire mission,"Dust to dust", and only walked to the room only to confirm that Makarov is actually dead.

[@Deathmare235]

I doubt the federation and Rorke would’ve been the villains in mw4 hell I doubt task force stalker would even exist

[@moizv4771]

@Deathmare235 true. But Bare in mind, I'm saying this from the information that is provided from cod ghosts, being an alleged MW game in its initial stages. From what I've heard the story in the initial version is supposedly, mostly the same only difference being that the game allegedly was supposed to be set after a nuclear event which happened after the ending of mw3

[@J_C_CH]

My head canon is that this guy is some invisible mastermind who manipulated practically _everything_ in the trilogy from behind the scenes as part of some incredibly well thought out "long game," including anonymously supplying the Four Horsemen and providing them with the means to stage their attacks, putting Makarov and Shepherd on the path to starting WW3. Except WW3 is only part of this mastermind's grand plan, and his ultimate goals go far beyond a global conflict and towards something much more sinister. This character would be so powerful, so unknowable, that they would go completely undetected by TF141 and their allies, who would simply assume Makarov was behind everything, until the very end when he appears out of the shadows to observe Price's handiwork, essentially a reveal that the Four Horsemen were never truly behind any of it, before walking away to continue with his dark plans for the world, leading into MW4. Why this guy is there in the hotel in the first place would have to be explained later, but as it's a luxury hotel I'm sure there would be some "hidden in plain sight" explanation. He appears to be wearing a suit and tie after all.

What is this is the angel of death just signifying that Price's time has come?

[@MrGrimm-gy1mu]

If that's Rorke, my theory is that all of the events in the MW2 and MW3 were planned out by him or he did played a major part in it. Maybe he was supplying Makarov or using him as a pawn and when Makarov got killed by price, he came in to either confirm Makarov's death or just to get a glance of what happen before disappearing into the dark and maybe that's what sets up Ghosts. Makarov is dead, the world is pretty much destroyed or in chaos and TF141 is gone. Rorke could use this perfect opportunity to start setting up his own big plan which would deal a fatal blow to the US and pretty much start up the Ghosts storyline. If CoD Ghosts was setup like this, that game would be 10 times better imo

They probably wanted to focus on the new Call of Duty games in the future so that’s why I think this is probably Hassan.

[@EL_Mariano_13]

Well, i do think Cap. Price dies at the end regardless of this deleted cutscene. And the reason why i came to this conclusion, is that if you pay close attention. When Cap Price is lighting his cigar and looking at Makarov's corpse, you can see his vision is starting to get blurry and blurry, and you can also see he had already lost a good amount of blood. And i know some of you can also say the he's just loosing consciousness and he eventually passes out, which is also valid. However, we know MW3 was the last MW of the old era, since MW 2019, it's a reboot and does not follow the original storyline. So that would make so much sense if Cap. Price dies in the end, since that would mark the end of the MW saga.

I still remember having a weird clairvoyant like dream about this ending a few years ago and I believed it to be Shepherd

[@Tacticalhuman1]

When i saw the video the other day i thought the shadow person was nikolai

[@Eoghandillon7]

My ideas on who it is - 1. Shepard as he only got knifed through his eye and people can survive from that. 2. Rourke - looks the most like rourke + makes sense as too ghosts being the next game by infinity ward. 3. Death itself/satan - far fetched but a cool idea as makarov tells price he's going to see him in hell in mw2.

[@Z_Berkut]

Shepherd couldn't survived the knife, it's already hit his brain

[@derth9230]

​@Tigran-Abazyan1st could be possible actually, people have survived worse, depending on how deep the knife went

[@ChromeFilmsEntertainment]

It can’t be Rorke; when he was captured in Ghosts, he was on a mission during an all-out war with The Federation which, in MW3, cannot not exist because they are depicted in Ghosts as being at war with the US. The ease TF141 has of going to Rio in MW2 points toward the government of Brazil being allied with the US, but in Ghosts they are part of the Federation.

[@Gillan1220]

MW and Ghosts are a different canon

[@NextGenzzzz]

OKAY so the Person in the Background is wearing a suit with a Long Tie if you look at his suit before Makarov swings in front of the Miseries model he's gotten a mustash as well he has a bandana as well so It could be hudson from Black ops 2 but maybe not or it coulod be rorke or sheperd / Rorke bc of the Bandana /Sheperd bc of the Mushstash. or maybe it was a scrapped character what they never used. Maybe when they were developing rorke's model they could off given him a suit or mushstash.

[@nascarsimracing1]

2:21 that scene made me cry when i played the game as a kid, and even still today i cry everytime i watch this scene.

[@michealwillingham9014]

At first I thought it was Zakhaev because if Rorke can survive a 44 Magnum to the hart then I don’t know what is possible but a total new villain very possible

[@khoas_6160]

The man in the end credits is meant to represent death which is why he is a very basic looking character that is also completely hidden in darkness this is also why captain price seems to suddenly die as soon as he leaves showing that death has taken price

[@hashirnumber2]

What if it's Nikolai coming back to save price because we never see or hear Nikolai die.

[@Toocoolforschool573]

Can’t believe it was found now this is cool but changes everything

[@GrainOnTheGo]

The connection you make for Rourke doesn’t work unless the Ghosts timeline was meant to be different. The Federation would’ve been forming during the events of MW3 which yea makes no sense unless it would’ve been further down the timeline.

[@AbdulHannan-kc4xb]

Now it makes sense why did they made call of duty ghost

[@Blaczek297]

Option no.5 - it was just ghost of yuri or someone else's captain price was close to

[@rtobias2013]

Watching at half speed here's what I noticed. He's carrying a bag of some sort. Puts it down. Then picks it back up as he leaves. Not sure if this helps at all.

[@mohammedkhnizer515]

Hear me out, the secret guy is Joseph Allen or Viktor from No Russian, they look the same and they have a strong connection with this

[@_TheForeverVirgin_]

U can literally find Victor's corpse in exodus

[@_TheForeverVirgin_]

And Allen was either killed by FSB or just died when makarov shot him

[@adrianmejia4467]

Someone No clipped the cut scene, I remember seeing the Video. It was one of the secret service person of the Russian President. It was already de bunked

[@Anthony20084]

Me when i saw the notification 🏃‍♂️

[@UnorthodoxYannick]

same

[@MdyaserShareef]

Fr

[@H.S.1.M.TheLyricVideoCreator]

Actually this character is indeed a character in COD Ghost but this character is far than what you guessed and there's this KZbin channel in the name of Major Alex and he noclip to the person in the end and the person isn't bald and doesn't wear a trench coat and what he said on that video that this mysterious man is probably Victor H. Ramos, an agent in Call of duty Ghosts, and Major Alex said that Victor and Makarov had a meeting in Hotel Oasis. And this man really appeared on COD Ghost but COD Ghost has other titles like Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Ghost or COD MW 4 but they stayed on Dall Of Duty Ghosts. Man this is exhausting to type hope you understand 😅.

[@kevinahm3773]

Just noticed that the new general shepherd from 2022 wears a suit and is bold, and we know because of cod zombies that traveling between dimensions is possible

[@Deathmare235]

No I t’s impossible for mw3 to exist during that time since there were no zombies

[@brucifer2332]

Nah, i dont see this being the death of price. I see this eother being he finally rests as the lead ultra-nationalist faction is snuffed out by him personally. Which doesn't signify death, as it finalizes the conclusion of the Price/Zakhaev story. The person in the background can mean a number of different things. From hallucinations, to a setup villain, to the story of Ghosts. I dont see it being Shepard really and im not sure how I feel about it behing a startoff for CoD Ghosts. i feel like there would have been more to the campaign if it were either of those two

[@Ro-boss165]

Btw the original videos was actually posted by bogdan konstantinou and not Watchful wolf. Watchful wolf's video was based on yoyo1love's discovery and Bogdan made the first video on this so he deserves credit

[@rayanbe85]

6:04 you sure he just new who the " shadoman" was and was shocked to see him that's why he stoped no ? If he was dead MWIII would not have him and there would be no more cod almost 😅

[@arsen38]

I dont think Price is dead, and I feel like the mysterious character may be a halusination and it is Captain Price from Cod 1.

[@lemararyaei9383]

It might be Alexi Makorovs right hand man from castle mission with price he was in the Security room.

[@SoundosKordabadi]

I think this guy is a next Perseus

[@miniredin527]

So Price died in the alternate ending? It wouldve been good if Price was shown visisting the grave of his friends afetr winning a military medal

[@phenylalaninesnorter]

Woah... Took a while.

[@matthewtolentino4179]

I just replayed Ghosts, so in my headcanon, its Rorke.

[@thedarkknight727]

That’s probably John Wick that came to kill Makarov, himself only to find that someone already did the deed, so he just dipped. 😜

[@DerDeutschePass]

Maybe he sees the devil in Zhakaev's body before he dies, since in MW2, Capt. Price responds to Makarov after he says, "See you in hell," with "Greetings to Zhakaev if you get there first." You know what I mean?

[@Blaczek297]

Big thanks to SPi for revealing this secret ending for us :)

[@kirihikoazuma8045]

As always I am amazed by the amount detail and info pot into these videos.

[@playerslayer6923]

Theory #5: What if the shadow man was Nikolai who was blending in the crowd giving intelligence to Price and Yuri as they infiltrate the building as he is Russian and could easily spy on Makarov. Hence why Nikolai manages to control the Cameras and Elevators in the Hotel

[@ravenlinosoriano2867]

I think its just Price's hallucinations of Soap coming to check up on him from the afterlife, then leaves signifying that his soul can rest peace then passes out from the blood loss.

[@TheNinjaCoby]

Now the stories did not officially connect at the time, but what if they were teasing a connection and it was Mason. He was alive in BO2 which was 2025 and MW3 was 2017. We got the whole Perseus connection with Russian nationalist now, so maybe they were planning that type of story way back before trying out the future stuff. Plus it sorta fits into Mason failing to make sure Dragovich was dead in BO, so this mysterious figure making sure Makarov was dead could fit into Mason learning his lesson. We know they use random peds sometimes, so the character being intentionally obstructed may not be the final appearance.

[@14spiderman]

i have 3 theories, 1. setting up mw4 2. death coming to price 3. Zakhaev as a ghost or hallucination. Remember at Price and Makarovs last conversation on MW2, he says "see you in hell" then "give my regards to Zakhaev if you get there first". Well here both Price and Makarov are dead/dying and Zakhaev has come to welcome them to hell.

[@daansw3r935]

I don't understand how you can believe Capt Price dies in the unreleased scene. First he's sitting up (not against a wall) He just lifted himself up from being flat on his back to the sitting position, to smoke the cigar. So we know there's nothing behind him he could be leaning on. Secondly, the whole dropping his cigar thing has been a running theme/meme in the storyline. Whenever Capt Price stops smoking his cigar "Shit just got real" If Capt Price would have dropped his cigar because because he died his body wouldn't be able to stay unmoved, and upright. He would have slouched forward, fell to the side, etc. Yes I understand it's a story in a video game, but even those devs (probably the worst of all the studios that got moved to the the newly defunct Infinity Ward, at the time, to finish MW3) aren't that incompetent.

[@slow7217]

Theres a reason why this cutscene isnt in the final game :d

[@munkelt7090]

It's actually understandable. If you pay attention to his left leg, you'll see that Price is bleeding when he is crawling back after hanging Makarov, so having his last cigar before going is the "best way" for Price to go.

[@Guillermo648]

I dont know how you find it hard to believe that he most likely died

[@LT.KILLIAN-14031]

he died

[@daansw3r935]

@@LT.KILLIAN-14031If you belive Capt Price dies there you're literally in single digit IQ range . Do you honestly think Zampella and West (the ones responsible for not only the reason CoD is a franchise but its success with their gameplay innovations and storyline of Modern Warfare) are going to kill off EVERY core member of the MW team? Not to mention the evidence (I shared earlier) doesn't show in any way shape or form that he dies. You honestly need to have a TBI, or serious mental condition to belive that.
