Just when you think that a game has been thoroughly datamined and explored, a new secret is uncovered. That’s happened to the original Modern Warfare 3, as players have now found a cut ending featuring a strange Shadow Man appearing to Captain Price after the battle with Makarov.

In this cut cutscene, uploaded to YouTube by Vlad Lokitonov on May 17, as Captain Price sits down to smoke a cigar and watch Makarov hang from the ceiling of a Dubai hotel, a strange figure appears in the distance with eerie, echoing footsteps. His face is obscured and he merely glances at the two men for a moment before turning away to take his leave. Price then drops his cigar and appears to either die or faint after this encounter. This is slightly different from what actually happens in Modern Warfare 3 where the screen fades to black as Price smokes his cigar, ending the series on a cliffhanger (no pun intended).
