ODIN Space Station

The ODIN (Orbital Defense Initiative) space station is an orbital kinetic bombardment weapons platform that appears in Call of Duty: Ghosts. During the events leading up to Ghosts, the orbital station is hijacked by the Federation. As a result, the onboard systems were directed to fire its kinetic tungsten rods at the United States. The first payload targeted Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Houston, and Miami with an estimated 27 million casualties.

With no other choice, mission control in Houston scuttled ODIN's control station by remotely detonating explosives aboard the station. This aborted the launch of ODIN's third and fourth payloads, presumably saving dozens of cities. However, the second payload of rods had already targeted San Francisco, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, and Washington D.C. and were preparing to launch. The two surviving ODIN crew members, Mosley and Baker, moved to the station's firing module and succeeded in destablilizing its orbit, sacrificing themselves in the process.

The resulting impacts from the rods devastated several regions across the United States, notably Southern California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Southern Nevada, Louisiana, and Florida. As the Federation invaded, atent to bring aid to these regions was swept aside. A band of craters and destroyed cities along the southern U.S. is now collectively known as "No-Man's Land". Later, the Federation will built a new orbital kinetic bombardment weapon, called LOKI, based on the crashed remnants of the ODIN space station.

Multiplayer
Tungsten rods appear in Multiplayer, as a Field Order and as the highest killstreak which is known as the K.E.M. Strike. The K.E.M. Strike is similar to the M.O.A.B. from the Modern Warfare 3, but instead it completely changes the terrain of the map.

The Odin appears as a Support Strike package in multiplayer, as a 16 point killstreak.
