Salvage (map)

Salvage is a medium-sized multiplayer map included in the Stimulus Package for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Overview
Salvage is a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars. This setting provides a lot of cover, yet the map is very open in several areas, with many long sightlines.

The house at the North of the map, which contains a shrine to Imran Zakhaev, is a very prominent location on the map, housing several objectives. This area is often heavily fortified by players due to its ease of access as well as its central position, overlooking key areas. There is a doghouse by this house, which usually serves as a humorous Camping area. South of the house and kennel, there is a car crusher, which from the top, looks down towards two large warehouses at the far end of the map.

Trivia

 * In the house with the Zakhaev shrine, on the bottom floor there is writing on the roof that says "Death to all capitalist pig dogs". This may be a reference to Battlefield: Bad Company when Serdar refers to the team as "Capitalist Pigs".
 * The map's console codename is known as 'Compact'.
 * The map along with the other 4 maps included in the Stimulus Package, was released for the Xbox 360 34 days prior to the PC/PS3 consoles.
 * The uniforms of the Task Force 141 differ from their other winter camouflage uniforms (as seen in "Derail" and the single player mission "Contingency"). Instead, certain classes are given new appearances, such as the submachine gunners having a yellow-ish uniform, LMG users having CADPAT camouflage pants and snipers (without ghillie suits) having a variant of the U.S. Navy SEALs sniper model.
 * On the western side of the map, near the attackers' spawn, there is a building full of diagrams of weapons. The weapons are a Dragunov, an AK-47 (AKM) and a 9mm Makarov pistol (like the ones in "Killhouse"). There is also a blue print and CCTV photos from the Zakhaev International Airport, and plans for the airport assault.
 * In the same house, if the player goes up to the second floor and looks up, a blow-up doll sex doll is visible (much like the one on Estate and in Loose Ends) on the rafters.
 * Also, in the pile of rubble next to C, if one free spectates to the top to find the name ALEXANDER ROYCEWICZ 2010 and a teddy bear cut in half in the corner.
 * If the player goes outside the map in Spectator mode, the map is solid for a fair distance unlike the other maps that usually stop being solid after a little bit outside.
 * Also in the Zakhaev house, on the second floor, there is a poster with Russian writing that appears to detail Cold War Era U.S. military equipment, including an M113 APC and a Cobra helicopter.
 * A book on Gerard van Honthorst can be found on the floor near the weapon diagrams. This book is also found in the White House during the campaign.
 * In Capture the Flag, the Spetznaz have the advantage, as in the first half of the match, their flag is in the house by the scrapyard, giving them the ability to camp under the stairs in the house, camp on the second floor, and extensively claymore the area, giving them an early advantage over Task Force 141.
