Volker

Lieutenant Volker was a crew chief on the Sea Knight Helicopter, Outlaw 2-5, seen in the level, Shock and Awe.

He is seen at the end of the helicopter supervising the Marines out of it and covering them with a Colt .45. Due to the last minute rescue of a Cobra pilot, "Deadly" Pelayo, he is killed when the Nuclear bomb explodes. The bomb's shock wave causes the helicopter to spin uncontrollably and he is hurled out of the helicopter from the force.The fall would have crippled him if not killed him outright, and the nuclear radiation would definitely kill him if he were by somehow able to survive the fall.

He was named after Infinity Ward staff member Zack Volker.

Triva

 * Volker, Price (in the Pripyat flashback), and Vasquez are the only Lieutenants in the game.


 * He looks quite old to be a Marine, but then again he doesn't fight in combat.


 * It is unknown why he falls out and Jackson does not, possibly Jackson had a better grip, or was seated.


 * If you are able to see pilots in choppers (SAS or USMC) you can sometimes see that they are exact copies of Volker


 * There is sometimes a Marine called Pvt. or Sgt. Volker.


 * His death can be seen during the trailer.
