Forum:Unamed Middle Eastern Country locations

I believe it is time we finally dealt with this page. After looking at in-game screenshots and satellite views in Google Maps I have deduced where each mission takes place. While it has been debated before this forum will spilt the page into 3 pages as the Middle Eastern segment of the game takes place in 3 different countries. While no name is never given it is never not given, it is never stated the entire Middle East is one unified country, nor do any quotes refer to it as such. Below you can see my images and any further supporting proof that these locations match the real life counter parts.

The Coup and The Bog -, Saudi Arabia

Geography matches up in terms of location and nearby islands, also in-game it's stated in The Bog there is a highway that goes right though the town, Al Qunfudhah also has this highway going though it.

Charlie Don't Surf -, Kuwait

This one is down to pure geography.

War Pig -, Saudi Arabia

This one is a bit fuzzy, and I'm sorry for that. But as can be made it, it's central Saudi Arabia, and due West of the centre of that "pokey out bit". To further cement the claim Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia, before this level this city is called the capital.

Shock and Awe -, Iraq

Down to geography again. Also a news reporter calls this the capital, this is the capital of Khuzestan Province, Iran. And since War Pig was also in the Capital, either the Capital got up and walked, or this is a different country.

So basically, let's split up the page and put it into the correct segments. And if anyone wants to say "But it says The Middle East on the scan" I would like to point out that's just the region, which all three countries are in. 16:58, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I think we should do this. It's from the game and although they're never mentioned, these are definitely where the missions take place according to the levels' preamble. I updating the article to reflect these findings. Nice work. 17:12, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

Isn't this still technically speculation, since it's an inference rather than anything buried in the game files? 17:35, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Game files refers to some levels as Saudi Arabia. And since the world doesn't like shifting around every 5 minutes, the Geography isn't that easy to call speculative. 17:57, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's true, but it also directly contradicts the game's assertion that all the events take place in, to quote the opening cinematic, a "small, oil rich nation". Unless Al-Asad somehow has the resources to take over large areas of the Middle East in a few days. 18:15, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been looking for that quote, and it's illusive as Ghost's fireproof vest quote. 18:28, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here you are. 18:30, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I can't find it in any of the transcripts though. So either we've missed a line, or that line is faked for that video. 18:56, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Its only used in the intro to CoD4 I think. That intro has a ton of differences from the actual game so it might not be a good thing to use imo. 19:02, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * We already use it on the page for the country itself as part of the evidence for calling it "oil rich" in addition to the evidence of the offshore rigs. 19:09, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
