Strike

Strike is a large multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - only available for the latter game through the Resurgence Pack DLC.

Overview
Strike is a very urban map with the largest open space being the two roads that run through the map. There are many small buildings that see little combat, although a good sniper can control a large area of the map while being safely planted inside one. Light Machine Guns are favored here.

"Taliban Avenue" and "Al-Qaeda Road", the two main intersecting streets (in the middle of the map creating a "T" below the marketplace) are where the most choke points for snipers and assault classes are located. The apartment block to the south provides sniper points covering nearly the entire map. Be aware of the Al-Jazeera towers to the West, they provide a blind corner for rushers. There are long lines of view, and most fighting occurs building-to-building across the streets. People tend to enjoy this map most with Team Deathmatch or Headquarters settings. Desert Camouflage is often preferred.

 * On one of the walls it says "USA go home".
 * If the player goes far enough out of the map, they can see a picture of a city.
 * The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 version's lighting is substantially brighter probably due to the lack of night vision.
 * There are mortars, ZPU-4 anti-aircraft guns, and Sentry Guns on the roofs of some buildings.
 * Chickens have been added to the marketplaces on this map.
 * Despite being an urban based map, this map uses the Desert ghillie suit.
 * Although this map is set in the Middle East, the license plates on the cars are Russian.
 * The building in the north-east of the map has an inaccessible ladder which would lead to the roof of the building.
 * In the Building towards B in Search and Destroy and where OpFor spawns in Team Deathmatch, there is a new door that has been added to the back of the building which was not there in Call of Duty 4.
 * A night version of this map was in the making, but it was later scrapped
