Cliffhanger

"An American satellite has crashed on Russian territory. Locate and retrieve its ACS module containing vital information on the U.S. defense grid before the Russians decrypt it."

Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson and Captain John "Soap" MacTavish are resting on a ledge on the side of a mountain
After a MiG-29 flies overhead, Roach and Soap start climbing a wall of ice with ice axes
There is a harrowing moment when a pair of MiG-29's take flight overhead, nearly dislodging Soap from his position on the cliff.

Once at the top, Roach and Soap jump a small gap
Roach does not make it and nearly falls to his death when Soap grabs his hand at the last moment, saving his life
Soap brings Roach up, and they climb up the rest of the mountain.

Here, Soap teaches Roach to use the Heartbeat Sensor attached to his ACR
They simultaneously down enemy patrols as they move to the airbase.
Captain MacTavish then climbs a nearby ridge to provide over watch with his thermal sight, while Roach infiltrates the airbase.

Roach proceeds to the fuel depot under the cover of the blizzard using the heartbeat sensor to thread his way through vehicles and patrols
He then plants C4 on the fuel depot to serve as a diversion in the event that a quiet extraction is not possible, and moves to a hangar, rejoining Soap, to recover a crashed satellite containing an American ACS module
MacTavish takes out the lone guard inside the hangar and, directs Roach upstairs to retrieve the ACS.

As soon as Roach grabs the ACS module, Russian soldiers hold MacTavish at gunpoint and the base commander Major Petrov threatens to kill MacTavish if any other soldiers that were with him do not surrender in 5 seconds
As Petrov counts down, Roach detonates the C4, sending the Russian soldiers in disarray.

Roach and Soap use this distraction to fight their way out of the hanger and towards the runway using destroyed MiGs for cover
They reach a break in the fence and slide down a hill where they encounter enemy snowmobiles
After downing the crews the two men escape on the snowmobiles and evade their pursuers, who use snowmobiles and a helicopter in an attempt to kill them
The last obstacle is a giant gorge which is taken at full speed to reach the LZ where Kilo Six-One is waiting.
