Terminal (map)


 * For the Special ops level, see Terminal (Special Ops level)

Terminal is a multiplayer map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, based off of the campaign mission No Russian. In this map, the airport terminal is full of luggage, bars, and small shops; the outside area of the map where planes and cargo are stationed is accessible as well. The various shops, security checkpoints and barricades make the map a very maze-like area. Players can even head inside one of the planes. The indoor area can provide some cover from enemy killstreaks, but there are several overhead windows that should be avoided.

Be very careful when placing care packages, as this level has many obstructions. Remember that if a care package lands on glass, breaking the glass will result in the care package falling through.

Terminal is also a Special Ops level.

Strategies

 * At the back of the accessible plane, there is a place where you can get a view of the ladder below and the rest of the fuselage/cockpit, good practice during free for all. Be wary though, there are some explosive barrels here first. Also, the victim of your surprise attack will then learn your position, so once you kill someone from here be sure to move along the fuselage to a different spot, as your victim will seek revenge with a frag/semtex.
 * There is also a very dark room behind the ladder, where it is very difficult to spot players. Approaching the airplane from the back is usually the safest route.
 * Right by the escalators, there is a ladder where you can climb upon and will greatly overview flag C, flag B, and the hall in the terminal near the cafe with the shatterable glass windows, a player standing here can rack up huge killstreaks which can be devastating.
 * It is advised to use a thumper on this map as it has a large blast radius and it's notched iron sights are easy to use
 * If you are familiar with deploying care packages, you can place them so they crash through the windows. Otherwise, the only good place for deployment is behind the window in the far corner of the map.
 * The ladder inside the Terminal building leads to a rooftop which has a good view of the rest of the map (if you stay inside you can see a fair bit of the terminal building, outside you can see another portion of the terminal and the tarmac/plane), ideal for domination or general sniping.
 * The area behind the metal detectors is a dead end; it is possible to ambush players who simply run past this area.
 * The windowed corridor is easily one of the deadliest areas on the map. Sentry guns are frequently placed either at one entrance, or on top of the roof, to guard the area.
 * The cockpit of the airplane can give you a vantage point at anyone coming to the gate or the other side. If someone is camping there, throw a grenade inside.
 * A good idea is to place a sentry gun inside the plane on the dark area from behind the lader on the plane because it will be almost impossible to destroy
 * If the enemy controls the outdoor area and you wish to deploy a care package, it is possible to drop on indoors from the overhead windows. still, it requires careful aim as the package may land on the roof.
 * If you wish to deploy claymores in the plane, plant them behind seats. They will be virtually invisible to enemies until its too late.
 * This map is by far one of the easiest to rack up FMJ Penetration kills for unlocking Extended Mags. Simply sit in the grey room with windows opposite the plane and when an enemy is spotted either in the cockpit or the passenger area (through the open or closed windows) shoot through the thin hull for easy kills. Also notable is that you can cause damage (and sometimes get kills) through the extension to the plane from the main building, and also the black/white walls near that area too.

Trivia

 * Inside the terminal, beneath the escalators, there is blood on the ground but no bodies.
 * The suitcases on the ground inside the terminal can be shot open and contains a variety of different clothes.
 * On the Rangers' Team Deathmatch starting spawn areas, the player can pass through metal detectors, which go off as they detect the player's weapons.You can also use your throwing knife to make them go off by standing back and throwing your knife through the metal detector.
 * In the cosmetics store, inside one of the glass cases nearest to the door, there are four Teddy bears sitting in a row.
 * In the airplane, the pilot, co-pilot and some passenger seats are missing.
 * Like in its Campaign counterpart "No Russian", there is a Burger Town where the player can jump over the counter and use it for cover.
 * In a possible reference to the movie store area in the level Chinatown, there are movie posters in different places in the airport with the Infinity Ward team posed as though they were Hollywood stars.
 * In the middle of the map outside near Flag B in Domination, there are barriers that say "IW International Airport".
 * If you go into spectator mode and jump over the small barrier on the second floor there are more shops that are visible, in one of these shops with posters of bottles of wine is two unknown Call of Duty Xbox game cases with Captain Price on the front cover, and the back cover is the same from Call of Duty 4's case.


 * The luggage containers outside show images of a Southwest Airlines 737-700, which is odd due to the fact that this map is located in Russia. Southwest primarily flies domestic US flights, it does not fly to European destinations.
 * Windows on the ceiling will break to allow a Care Package into the airport if one is dropped onto them. A Predator Missile can plow right through these windows, and Helicopters and Harriers will shoot through them.
 * If you look at any police car, you will see that it has an American flag on it, even though the level is in Moscow, Russia. No FSB vehicles are present, either.
 * Near the Army Rangers spot you can find a Food Court that have Taco To Go and a Burger Town, seen in the mission Wolverines!
 * If you press action to any of the soda machines they will pop out a can.
 * Russian folk music (Kalinka) can be heard playing in the cosmetics store and the gift shop.
 * If you hop over the barrier inside terminal in Spectator Mode, there is called "Dreams (Russian: Мечты). That is the same name of the store near the airplane, although it is in English.
 * There are copies of "Hamlet", "the Winter's Tale", "The Sign of Four", "1601", "Little Dorrit", "Oliver Twist", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "The Wizard of Oz" in the bookstore.
 * There is a teddy bear outside of the map next to a blood trail.
 * On the respawn point for the Spetsnaz,there are large paper planes hanging,but no ropes or chains are seen holding them.
 * If you look at the Departure Flight list,you will see that a flight to Paris was boarding and the rest is delayed,this probably means that this flight was boarding (and that the terrorist attack was between 11:20am and 11:50am) while Makarov and his men initiated the terrorist attack on the mission No Russian.
 * But the above cannot be true as the attack takes place at 8:40 and the Departure Flight List on the mission No Russian, the Departure to Paris is delayed.
 * On the respawn point for the Spetsnaz, there is a bar. If the player looks closely at one of the bottles, it can be identified as Chardonnay, which is a type of wine.
 * The choice of factions on this map could be a reference to the foreshadowed American attack on Moscow.
 * There is a poster for the movie Vengeance which is about 2 of the most dangerous soldiers on Earth (Soap and Price) that were double crossed and left for dead.
 * Some of the commercial aircraft featured in this level are the TU-154(the one which is accessible), 747-400 and MD-11.
 * If you shoot or knife the cash register you will see flying US dollars, even though the Terminal is in Russia.
 * On the orange barricades it says "Property of IW Intl. Airport". One of Infinity Ward's many IW easter eggs.
 * Out of the map, near the lifts there are two copies of Modern Warfare 2.
 * In the cosmetics store, there is a magazine about Navy SEALS.
 * In the corner near the metal detectors if you knife under the wall of T.V.'s they will turn black without being broken.
 * There is a teddy bear next to a suitcase outside of the dreams store.
