8 Manliest Characters In Gaming History

3. Captain Price €“ The Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Franchise

Captain Price You just have to bask in the sheer awesome of Captain Price. Though he€™s probably slipped into parody recently, the sight of him, bedecked in his magnificent mustache and hanging out of a helicopter before COD 4€™s tanker mission must go down as the manliest vignette ever summoned by a console. That he goes on to murder absolutely everything ever while thwarting constant doomsday threats is a fitting follow-up to such a transcendent memory. If we€™re being fair, if anyone had the right to descend into self-knowing pantomime awesomeness, it€™s most certainly Captain Price. Leading a crack team of the world€™s most manly fighters €“ drawn mainly from the legendarily awesome SAS €“ the man exudes machismo like few others before him, and will always be there with shouting and bullets when the time comes. Ready with some unorthodox torture techniques €“namely, beatings, beatings and more beatings €“ and unlimited ammunition, the fact he€™s eventually disowned by the establishment just seems to amplify his manly rage to record levels. It€™s not every man who can bestride World War III like a colossus, but Price most certainly can, and most certainly does. Such an accomplishment is something which can only be saluted, after the carnage dies down.
