Forum:Unreleased Call of Duty 4 level

So, if I have my facts right, Mile High Club was a level that Infinity Ward made for Call of Duty 4, but ended up not being able to fit into the storyline. They happened to still rather like it, so they decided to keep it as an extra mission.

This reminds me of a video I saw back in the Summer of 2007. Gameplay footage of Call of Duty 4 was just out, I think, and I was watching it on YouTube. In the part of the level that I saw, you were playing as a Russian soldier who was escorting an allied tank down a snowy Russian city street, killing any enemies that came out of the buildings and alleyways with what I now think was an AK-47 as featured in the game. Now that I think about it, you were probably playing as a Loyalist who was fighting Ultranationalists in a battle of probably Moscow, or some other big Russian city.

In a mini-cutscene either before or after that objective (I don't remember which), you were in a Jeep-like vehicle with another Russian guy, going through some large city square with other military vehicles also driving through the square. The other Russian guy was talking to you about the on-going battle or something.

It wasn't until several months after getting and beating the game that I realized that the gameplay level I wanted to play wasn't even in it :P. After reading the official story behind Mile High Club's inclusion in the game, it made me think. Perhaps that the level I saw was made, but taken out of the game due to either data capacity, the plot, or some other reason.

Any thoughts? 21:35, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
