The player will be given 3 minutes to escape the ship. Reznov arms explosives on the gas reserves, intending to destroy it, as well as a main support beam to escape. The soldiers begin to fight their way out, battling through both their traitorous comrades and the British in a three-way battle, watching in horror at the same time as both rogue Russian and British Commandos fight against each other for Nova 6. Before Reznov's chamber can be condemned, British commandos break into the ship and fire a rocket into the chamber, opening it for Reznov and his men.
Dimitri and his men suffer an agonizing death caged like animals instead of dying for their country according to Reznov. Dragovich uses his weapon on Petrenko's chamber, killing everyone inside. He orders Reznov, Nevski, and Tvelin to be thrown in one gas chamber, and Petrenko, Vikharev, and Belov to be thrown in another. Reznov then says that the victory was short-lived, for Dragovich wanted to see the effects of the gas first hand. The Russian squad and Steiner then reach the last reserves of the gas within the depths of the ship. However, Berlin had already fallen to the Soviets and the SS failed to destroy the Nova 6. and Moscow were to meet a horrible end through Germany's use of V-2 Rockets loaded with Nova 6.
Reznov brings his men into the ship while Dragovich and Steiner discuss the genius of Project Nova and how Washington D.C. Steiner talks to Dragovich about how the Germans were sworn to protect the Reich, which included destroying the ship, but Dragovich says to Steiner that there would be no problems. Reznov skips ahead in his flashback to outside a Nazi ship frozen in the ice, where Kravchenko executes POWs. He then tells Mason he wanted to kill Steiner then and there due to all of the crimes the Reich has committed during the war, but his belief in orders stopped this.
Describing that despite his defection, Steinner's lack of remorse to the atrocities committed by the Nazis as well as silently maintaining their totalitarian beliefs greatly horrified and disgusted an unsurprised Reznov. Eventually, Reznov will fight his way through stiff opposition to Steiner who will insult him and tell him to take him to Dragovich. This is the most effective tactic for getting past this area. Here Germans will be standing on bridges with MG42s and Panzerschrecks so it is smart to throw smoke grenades on these structures and to pick up a Scoped Mosin-Nagant to eliminate these soldiers and an STG44 or PPSH-41 for close range. After searching a few buildings for Steiner, the player will be given smoke grenades to mark target for mortars. Some Germans will attempt to surrender, but Reznov has no sympathy and tells his soldiers to kill them all anyway. Russians will burn down buildings to kill all Germans inside. Opposition here is fairly weak, and the player will be armed with a PPSh-41 and a Mosin-Nagant with RGD-33 grenades to deal with them. Reznov flashes back to the mission, where Reznov and his men begin to fight, looking for Steiner. Reznov returns to Vorkuta and tells Mason that Petrenko was the bravest man he ever knew, and that his heroic feat at Berlin should have made him a hero, but "Stalin had little need for heroes." Reznov takes great care to raise his voice when talking of Dragovich and Kravchenko, as their snow truck is right next to his. He then tells Dimitri that the two men are opportunists, and are not to be trusted. After a short time, Petrenko asks Reznov why he doesn't trust Dragovich and Kravchenko, to which Reznov will say that at Stalingrad, Dragovich left him outnumbered and never sent reinforcements. He and his crew move out on a snow truck. Reznov receives his orders to capture Friedrich Steiner alive, and that he will be shot if he disobeys that order. The group then trudges down the cliff where they find Dragovich and Kravchenko. Reznov looks off a snowy cliff with Dimitri Petrenko and Nevski. He then flashes back to the day he was betrayed. He furthermore says that collaborating with any Nazi is a "betrayal against all of Mother Russia." He then says that Dragovich and Kravchenko were not hindered by such crimes. He explains that his father was a musician during the German occupation who was killed by Nazis who found him and his music to be a symbol of defiance. The level starts out with Reznov talking to Mason about his father in their cells in Vorkuta.
