High Roller (callsign)

"High Roller" is the callsign of an American M1A2 Abrams battle tank in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, under the command of General Sheperd and working with the U.S. Army Rangers during the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. High Roller makes its first and only appearence in the level "Team Player". It can be found located on a small ridge to the left of the level's starting point remaining stationary. Where it is seen providing covering fire to the Rangers as they engage the OpFor forces located across the river in an attempt to protect bridgelayer "BigFoot" from being destroyed so the ranger's convoy can proceed into the Afghani town. In this process High Roller will fire it's main turret several times with each round appearing to be a miss landing in the river. After the player is able to beat back the OpFor counter attack, the player can still see High Roller from the bridge, remaining stationary. After crossing the bridge High Roller is out of the player's sight and never seen again in game. Making it likely that the vehicle and it's crew survived the events of Modern Warfare 2.

Trivia

 * A 'High Roller' is a term in the gambling industry refering to someone who wagers large sums of money, and thus taking a large risk. This may be the basis of High Roller's callsign as it seems to be taking a large risk in it's position. As it is on a ridge exposed to RPG fire in an area where OpFor insurgents have destroyed two other tanks of similar class.
 * High Roller can also be seen on behind the ranger's spawn point in the multiplayer map "Invasion". Oddly it shares the same model as a destroyed tank where in campaign it was not destroyed. It could be an oversight by Infinity Ward or a sign that High Roller was destroyed by OpFor forces after the player leaves the area.
