In April 1961, Mason, Woods, and Bowman participate in Operation 40 to assassinate Fidel Castro and assist the CIA-sponsored Cuban exiles during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Mason kills Castro's body double and stays behind, allowing Woods and Bowman to flee in an extraction plane. He is captured by the real Castro, who gifts him to a Soviet Army Major General named Nikita Dragovich. Imprisoned in a brutal gulag known as Vorkuta, Mason befriends a former Red Army soldier named Viktor Reznov, who gives him the identities of their enemies: Dragovich, Colonel Lev Kravchenko, and ex-Nazi scientist Friedrich Steiner. In October 1945, Reznov, Dimitri Petrenko, and their platoon were sent to extract Steiner, who wished to defect, from a secret Nazi base on Baffin Island. Upon being rescued, Steiner provided the Soviets with the location of a disabled cargo ship carrying the weapon he had originally developed for Adolf Hitler. However, Reznov and his men were betrayed by Dragovich, who wished to see the effects of the gas first-hand; Reznov was forced to watch Petrenko die horrifically, only being spared himself when British Commandos, interested in also acquiring Nova 6, attacked. Reznov detonated the V-2 rockets onboard the ship during his escape, destroying it and Nova 6, only to be captured by the Soviets and imprisoned in Vorkuta. The Soviets later recreated Nova 6 using British scientist Daniel Clarke.

In October 1963, Mason and Reznov spark an uprising to flee the prison; Reznov stays behind to facilitate Mason's escape. Upon his return to the US, President John F. Kennedy authorizes a mission to assassinate Dragovich; Mason is plagued by anxiety and murderous visions during his meeting with the President. Mason, Woods, Bowman, and Weaver are dispatched to the Baikonur Cosmodrome to disrupt the Soviet space program and eliminate members of "Ascension", a Soviet program giving sanctuary to Nazi scientists. The team destroys the Soyuz spacecraft, while Dragovich is seemingly killed in a car explosion.

In January 1968, Mason's team is sent to Vietnam as part of MACV-SOG. After defending Khe Sanh from a North Vietnamese assault, they recover a dossier on Dragovich from a Russian defector being held by the North Vietnamese Army in Huế during the Tet Offensive; the defector is revealed to be Reznov. When Dragovich resurfaces, the team penetrates Laos to recover a Nova 6 shipment from a downed Soviet plane, but are captured by Viet Cong and Spetsnaz forces at the crash site. Bowman is later executed during a forced game of Russian roulette, but Woods and Mason escape, hijacking a Mi-24 Hind and crippling a part of the Ho Chi Minh Trail before rescuing Reznov from Kravchenko's base. They confront Kravchenko, but he primes grenades strapped to his body, forcing Woods to push himself and Kravchenko out of a window; Mason presumes the two dead.

Hudson and Weaver interrogate Clarke in Kowloon Walled City, with Clarke revealing the location of a facility in Mount Yamantau before being killed by Dragovich's men. Hudson and Weaver infiltrate and destroy the facility before receiving a transmission from Steiner requesting to meet at Rebirth Island, as he suspects Dragovich will kill him in order to cover up Nova 6. Mason, now going rogue, travels there with Reznov to assassinate Steiner, succeeding just as Hudson and Weaver arrive. It is revealed that although Mason supposedly witnessed Reznov executing Steiner, Hudson and Weaver saw Mason carrying out the act alone while calling himself Reznov. With Steiner dead, Mason is now the only individual left who knows the location of the numbers station, prompting Hudson and Weaver to interrogate him.

Hudson explains that Dragovich has sleeper cells stationed within each American state capital, which, when ordered by the broadcast of a series of numbers from his station, will release Nova 6 and pave the way for a Soviet invasion. In response, the US, now at DEFCON 2, is preparing a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the Soviets. Hudson reveals that Mason was brainwashed by Dragovich at Vorkuta to serve as a sleeper agent and assassinate Kennedy. Reznov died during the breakout, and the Soviet defector was killed; Mason's visions of Reznov are an illusion caused by the brainwashing. Prior to his death, Reznov reprogrammed Mason to kill Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner to complete his own revenge. Mason finally remembers the location of Dragovich's broadcast station is a Russian ship named the Rusalka in the Gulf of Mexico. An assault on the ship is carried out the next day, with the US Navy called in to destroy it. Mason and Hudson confront Dragovich in the underwater submarine base protecting the ship, with Mason killing Dragovich before the two escape.

Footage of President Kennedy before his assassination on November 22, 1963, is shown, revealing Mason was among onlookers who watched him arrive at Dallas Love Field, suggesting Mason may have carried out his initial programming.
