F.N.G.

"Right...What the hell kind of name is Soap anyway? How'd a muppet like you pass selection?"

- Captain Price

 is the first level in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, it serves as a tutorial to teach players basic gameplay mechanics. It also introduces two of the game's major characters.

In this level, the player is first introduced to Gaz, and learns how to fire, aim, switch weapons and use their knife in close quarters. The player is then introduced to Captain Price and must take place in a close quarters combat exercise on a mock ship deck. Once training is over, they learn their next mission: raid a cargo freighter at sea with a nuclear device on it.

The Multiplayer map, Killhouse is based on the interior of one of the closed buildings.

Starting equipment: None

Trivia

 * FNG is an acronym used among military personnel to describe newcomers to a squad or unit. It stands for "Fucking New Guy".


 * On the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4, the achievement "Earn a Winged Dagger" is awarded on completion of this level. The achievement "New Squad Record" is awarded if you complete the cargo ship mock-up in less than 20 seconds.


 * If you do badly in the mock-up cargo ship test, Captain Price will say, "Seems like a mistake to let you skip the obstacle course." Just to let you know, you can do the obstacle course outside the warehouses for a bit of fun. First, you must jump/duck a couple of logs, then you must duck under barbed wire, then you must run in and out of poles sticking out of the ground.


 * F.N.G. makes a minor reference to the first Call of Duty game. In the original Call of Duty, you must toss grenades into windows of a battered stone bunker. There is a similar, but larger, building in front of the warehouses when you exit the shooting range where Gaz is.
