Black Ice

Black Ice is a Special Ops Mission Mode challenge in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

The level is included in the Content Pack 3, which was released on March 13 for Elite Xbox players and, along with the other maps, March 20 for non-Elite Xbox players. The release dates for other consoles is unknown, but will follow.

Overview
The mission begins with the player and their partner on a snowmobile. The driver is armed with a G18 while the passenger is armed with a FMG9 Akimbo as well as an ACR 6.8 with a Holographic Sight. As the players drive, they're speed will be shown on the bottom of the screen. Once the players reach the diamond mine they exit the snowmobile and are each given an ACR 6.8 with a Holographic Sight and a Five Seven. The players will be instructed to plant a DSM on a computer inside the mine that causes a self-destruct sequence to begin. At this point the players have to escape from the mine amongst fleeing hostiles, some of which will attack the player. As debris falls around the players, they run out of the mine and onto a Little Bird Helicopter which gives them a great view of the mine as it explodes.

Trivia

 * The picture for Black Ice is of two soldiers on their snowmobiles, which is similar to Soap and Roach on their snowmobiles in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mission "Cliffhanger".
 * During the mission Captain Price and Overlord give the player instructions. It is unknown why Overlord gives instructions instead of Sandman, as he was the one who helped Price in the campaign mission, "Down the Rabbit Hole", in which Black Ice is based on.
 * All UMP45s in this mission are the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 model, as well as all attachments being the Modern Warfare 2 models.
 * The ACR in this mission has the faster fire rate that the ACR had in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 level "Museum".
