MW3: Fate of Derek 'Frost' Westbrook.

Most of MW3 fans must be wondering about what happened with Frost at the end of MW3. Is he still alive? Why he didn't appear in "Down the Rabbit Hole"?

Infinity Ward or the game itself didn't give us a word about his fate. But if we see from mission "Scorched Earth", there are possibility that Frost is still alive and resting after wound that he had in the mission. And his position was replaced by McCoy.

Scorched Earth

The mission starts with Frost looking down at his hands, and soon Sandman comes to help him. The pair starts moving past injured soldiers until they reach a collapsed building, where the screen fades. Twenty minutes prior to this, Frost is on a MH-6 Little Bird, flying into a war-torn Berlin where many American and German tanks advancing through the bridge across to Alena's location. While flying towards their destination, one of the Little Birds is hit by RPG fire and crashes on the streets below.

Frost's ride lands on the roof of a building and Frost and the rest of Team Metal get off and start engaging hostile Russian forces. Once Team Metal has eliminated all threats on the roof, they move inside to the office areas. After clearing the first floor, they ascend the building to reach the second floor. Here they fight off more Russian soldiers before reaching a staircase. This staircase takes Metal team on a rooftop, where the Russians have constructed a makeshift base. After all the enemies here have been taken out, they signal Team Granite to start their assault on the hotel.

At this point, Frost and Grinch provide overwatch to Team Granite. Once all the enemies were dead, Granite team lands on the roof, but then more hostiles appears from the hotel, and the player must take them out with the sniper rifle. As soon as all the enemies were eliminated, Russian tanks arrive and start firing on the hotel. Using binoculars, the player must target the tanks for a strafing run by friendly A-10 Thunderbolts. After all the enemy armor was destroyed, however, Metal Team watched as Team Granite entered the hotel and were killed by defenders.

Frost must rappel down the building he (and Metal Team) are on, after Overlord approves of them taking over the responsibility of securing Alena. After landing on the street, Team Metal goes through a back alley, where they meet the remains of the dead Team Onyx, until they reach the river bank, where they assist the German tank column to repel enemy Russian forces on the main street. Frost then destroys a Russian T-90 using an RPG-7 and Team Metal moves up the street with the German tank column. However once they reach the end of the street, a building rigged with explosives detonates, sending the building crashing down on the American and German forces.

Soon Frost regains consciousness and wakes up in exactly the same place he had started the mission. He then follows Sandman through the ruins of buildings, until the hotel is visible across the street. Team Metal battles Ultranationalist troops as they advance into the hotel and up flights of stairs to rescue Alena. When they reach the room Alena is being held in, they prepare for breaching. But before they can, the door explodes, sending the player to the floor. Frost takes Sandman's pistol and kills two Russians. After recovering from the explosion, the enemy helicopter takes off with Alena on board. Grinch tries to take a shot, but Sandman stops him, saying that their objective has failed. The mission ends with Sandman relaying the (bad) news to Command.

That is the last mission that we see Frost in the game. I think Frost was medevaced for his injuries. In "Scorched Earth" he was hit by a flying debris when the building rigged with explosives blew up and fell. He was probably further injured when he attempted to open the door, not knowing that it was booby-trapped, so maybe he was wounded enough by the booby trapped door at the very end of Scorched Earth that he couldn't go on the next mission.

I'm just hoping, if Infinity Ward make another Modern Warfare Series (maybe MW4), Frost appear in the Game to prove that he still alive or at least they give us an explanation about his fate.
