Trivia

 * Zakhaev's son, Victor Zakhaev can be seen riding in the car that transports Al-Fulani to his execution point, with Imran Zakhaev giving Al-Asad the Desert Eagle he uses to execute Al-Fulani.


 * Some players incorrectly state the driver of the car to be the Fourth Horseman. This is unlikely though, as nothing has been confirmed yet.


 * The multiplayer map, Showdown, is modeled after the execution area.


 * As you drive down the alleyway, you see a civilian painting a picture on the wall. The picture is of a man's face. This face is most likely Al-Fulani's face.


 * No matter how hard you try, you will always die at the end of the level.
