Bloc

Bloc is a large multiplayer map in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Based on the Soviet-style apartment buildings and both the map's visual resemblance to the campaign level "One Shot, One Kill", and the reuse of the level's swimming pool, it is strongly implied the location is Pripyat, Ukraine.

Overview
Bloc features the SAS fighting Spetsnaz (Ultranationalist character models). It primarily consists of two large Soviet-style apartment buildings and the courtyard in between, as well as the inaccessible high-rise flats surrounding these two. Fighting on this map is usually centered around long-range/sniper battles across the courtyard and CQC in the two long buildings. However, in most game modes the swimming pool is absent from battles as it is too far away from the action, which can be used for challenges, but in Headquarters it can be used to the teams advantage by holding off the entrances and holding the HQ.

Trivia

 * The giant statue of a World War II-era Soviet soldier is holding a golden PPSh-41.
 * The player can see the Ferris Wheel from "One Shot, One Kill", but it is inaccessible.
 * Near the pool, being overlooked by the stairs to the more destroyed apartment there is a large rock with a knife embedded in it, an obvious nod to T.H. White's novel The Sword In The Stone.
 * There is a hidden room covered by vegetation on the outer-most part of a building. In that room, there is a wall which reads "Alexander Roycewicz 2007" on it.
 * The player can occasionally hear dogs barking, people speaking and people aggressively knocking on wood in the background.
 * On the more destroyed building, there is a teddy bear lying on the ground next to a baby crib. This would mean that the teddy bear was owned by the baby who would have been in the crib, evacuated after the events of Chernobyl, further supporting that this level takes place in Pripyat.
 * It is possible to spawn on a burning metal barrel in the more destroyed building, otherwise it is inaccessible.
