Mile High Club (mission)

"Mile High Club" is a bonus campaign level of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare; this epilogue mission is unrelated to the storyline of the game's campaign. To play the bonus mission, the player must complete the mission "Game Over" and watch the credits until the end, or quit the credits and go to the Mission Select menu or this level can be unlocked by a cheatcode.

Infinity Ward has stated that the Special Ops missions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 were inspired by this mission.

According to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 field journal received in the hardened edition, this mission takes place before the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Plot
The player is an unnamed Task Force 141 operative battling through a double-decked aircraft to rescue a hostage in a set time limit. The time limit varies by difficulty: three minutes on Recruit, two minutes on Regular, one minute and 45 seconds on Hardened, and just one minute on Veteran. To end the mission, the operative will switch to the suppressed USP .45 to eliminate a hostile holding the hostage at gun point. On Veteran difficulty, when saving the hostage, the player has to kill the terrorist with a headshot, or the game will say "True veterans get headshots, not flesh wounds," and will make the user start over. Also, if attempting to shoot him in the legs, he spreads his legs out resulting in a miss and he stabs the hostage. The player will then have 30 seconds to jump out of the plane by a breach with the VIP and the other 141 operatives.

The level features no fragmentation grenades and no explosive weapons of any type (the player does have the standard flashbangs), likely due to the devastating effects such weapons would have on a flying aircraft; the "give all" cheat will allow Frag Grenades.
