Call of Duty Modern Warfare II – Is Phillip Graves Dead or Alive? Here’s the Answer…

The Call of Duty franchise is famously known for its characters ever since the first entry was released in the action saga, nearly two decades ago. When it comes to making a huge impression, some of the names have succeeded in attracting a massive fanbase. Modern Warfare II is a clear example of that. It not only brought back a classic operator like Ghost but also revealed several new ones. Yes, Alejandro has turned out to be a fan favorite, but even the villains of MWII have succeeded in gaining huge popularity, like Valeria Garza and also Commander Phillip Graves.

Graves eventually caught the attention of a lot of gamers who were attracted by his personality. Without a doubt, he’s now among the most popular new faces of Modern Warfare II. But his fate in the Campaign ended up leaving many people surprised. Is he actually dead or will he return in some mysterious way in the future expansion of the ongoing installment? Let’s find out.

Phillip Graves is alive in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and here’s how

The character led the Shadow Company in the single-player story of last year’s MWII. Towards the end, he was shown to be dead, being inside a tank. But it was never exactly confirmed by showing his body or any last dialogue. This is something that made a lot of players wonder about his existence.

InkSlasher is a renowned Call of Duty YouTuber and gamer who keeps sharing interesting videos about all the aspects of the franchise. Especially when it comes to the characters featured in different entries. Recently, he dropped a new video while discussing Phillip Graves.

According to the YouTuber, Phillip Graves is very much alive in the story of Modern Warfare II. He has got some proof as well to solidify this theory. Firstly, the character was never shown to be inside the tank in which he was supposed to be. In fact, he wasn’t shown to be dead after the tank exploded.

That was quite weird to see given the fact that Graves was someone who betrayed Task Force 141. So how could he not have a final scene with the team’s members before dying? Moreover, InkSlasher also mentioned an Instagram post by the actor who portrayed Graves himself in the game. Have a look at it below:

In case someone missed keeping track of events, the post is from last month. Actor Warren Kole shared the picture of Graves while also mentioning that if fans want more of the character, he’ll see what he can do. Now that’s nothing less than a confirmation that Commander Phillip is not dead in Modern Warfare II – at least not yet.

One last proof of his existence, mentioned by InkSlasher, is the blog from the developers before the release of Season 2. There was a pre-season blog published by Call of Duty, giving early details for the Resurgence mode’s Ashika Island. One line in the blog mentioned that there was a presence of Shadow Company on the island map.

Moreover, there was also an indication of a leader who was in charge of the team in that area. Well, this leader could be none other than Graves himself. Activision‘s Modern Warfare II is now available across the globe. What are your predictions regarding Phillip Graves? Let us know in the comments.
