The Coup

"Our noble crusade has begun. This is how it begins."

- Khaled Al-Asad

The Coup is the third level in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Plot
The Coup is largely a cinematic level, acting as the opening for the game. This level is used to introduce the player to the primary antagonists, as well as the opening credits. It is shown through the perspective of President Al-Fulani who is driven through a city captured by Al-Asad and his military force. During the drive, Al-Fulani sees Al-Asad's forces rounding up and executing people (these are likely supporters of Al-Fulani). At the end of the level, Al-Fulani is executed by Khaled Al-Asad with a chrome Desert Eagle after saying the words, "This is how it begins." to the camera.

Walkthrough
The player's ability to move is limited to only looking around and watching as people flee Al-Asad's forces. Many soldiers are shown throughout the city exiting armored personnel carriers and helicopters, as well as chasing down and executing civilians trying to escape.
