Diary

«

Shit! Shit! Shit! Everything is fucked! The Russians are openly backing the Chedaki, totally blind to their atrocities. Maybe they don't want to see. It's all gone to hell! I still don't regret getting into this, but seeing all our efforts come nothing is like a knife in me. The people we lost. We have to regroup, take a breath, consolidate and figure out what the hell we do next.

Epilogue

«

There was nothing to stop the insurgent offensive after the dissolution of forces under Razor Team's command. Chernarussian troops had to withdraw beyond the boundaries of the Northern Province. In the following year, the insurgency ended with the total victory of the ChDKZ and 'Akula' Lopotev became countrywide dictator in summer 2010. Chernarus became a totalitarian regime and its people had little hope for the future. In 2014, after four years of violent rule, Lopotev was assassinated by an unknown killer at his summer villa in Chernogorsk. It changed nothing. The continued involvement of Force Reconnaissance Marines in Operation Harvest Red post the Russian occupation is still denied by the US government. Team Razor was declared 'Missing In Action' at the point of USMC withdrawal. Their real fate was never revealed.

Trivia

• Alongside Revelation, Missing In Action is one of the two main bad endings which culminates in the worst outcomes to the campaign.
  • It is the result of the player(s) neglecting to complete any of the side missions throughout the entire campaign and failing to defeat the ChDKZ militarily in Dogs of War.
