Cobra Pilot

Cobra Pilot was a planned campaign mission in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Several previews of the game indicate reference this mission, meaning it was scrapped very late in production. However, little is known about this level - not even its true name is known. The reason the level is referred to as "Cobra Pilot" is because all of the level's source files refer to the level as "cobrapilot". In the game's mod tools, models of all the buildings used in the level are present, as well as some additional structures.

Cobra Pilot obviously involves controlling a Cobra helicopter. It takes place in what seems to be a Middle Eastern city, and the character may have been controlling the various USMC helicopters seen in "Shock and Awe", possibly providing cover fire for ground troops. Though the timing of the mission is unknown, the mission likely takes place instead of or after Shock and Awe, or note that it takes place two days later, so possibly another city all together. It would possibly take place after "Ultimatum", considering the timing.

Trivia

 * Cobra Pilot was most likely scrapped due to the similarity to "Death From Above".
 * If this level wasn't scraped out before the final version of the game; this level should have been the first level in the Call of Duty series to control a helicopter, not the level "payback" in the upcoming game Call of Duty: Black Ops.
