Factions (COD Movies)

Factions in the Call of Duty movies.

Ultranationalists
A revolutionary political party and armed organization in Russia who wish to return the country back to what it was during the days of the Soviet Union. They believe that the Russian Federation does not have the best interests of the Russian people at heart, siding with Western interests both philosophically and economically, and they perceive this to be destroying or weakening the Russian state. The Ultranationalists idolize the Soviet Union out of a sense of national pride.

In this crusade of natioal liberation, the Ultranationalists consider the powers of the Western world, specifically the United States of America and United Kingdom, to be major obstacles in their path, as well as any Russians who do not support their aims, which includes the political wing of the party which advocates peace with the Western world. The extremist group's funds come from several criminal activities such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, hijackings, arms dealings and kidnappings.

Although they fight with standard infantry weapons, Grunts behave significantly differently from human soldiers, steadily walking forward into combat instead of attempting to utilize cover. They do possess a degree of self-preservation and can dodge sideways several feet in an attempt to evade gunfire. They are typically equipped with assault rifles, shotguns or submachine guns, and are generally not assigned to sniper rifles or explosive weaponry as well as not utilizing grenades.
