Plot
Intel obtained by Victor Ramos' laptop in the previous level suggests Rorke is hiding at a floating industrial complex in the Gulf of Mexico.

The player assumes the role of Pirate Five-Zero, the callsign of an AH-64 Apache. It, the Ghosts, and an entire squad of Apache helicopters approach Rorke's hideout in the Gulf. After clearing both Federation ground and air forces, the player takes the perspective of Logan Walker. He and his team encounter countless enemies but successfully neutralize them. The player again takes control of Pirate Five-Zero to neutralize enemy reinforcements, and goes back to Logan. After clearing the rooftops of the base, the Ghosts finally capture Rorke and bring him in for interrogation.

Trivia

 * This is the third time that the Gulf of Mexico is a location featured in a campaign mission in the Call of Duty series, the first time in the level Redemption in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and the second being Odysseus in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
 * This is the first time that the player can control flares manually.
 * This is the third mission in the series where the player pilots a helicopter, and the first mission where the player pilots a helicopter in an Infinity Ward-made game.
 * Even though Rorke appears as an enemy target, the Ghosts' objective is to capture him alive. Killing him only results in the mission failing.
