Trivia[]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II[]
- In the Multiplayer Open Beta, the 556 Icarus was manufactured by Tempus Armament.
- The "Hunting Party" blueprint is a reference to the mission of the same name from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III[]
- The Pack-a-Punch name of the 556 Icarus, 101A Daedalus, is a possible reference to Mob of the Dead. 101A is the prison number for either Albert "Weasel" Arlington or Billy Handsome, while the original name can be considered a nod to the Icarus plane, which the mobsters attempt to build in order to escape Alcatraz Island. In Greek mythology, Daedalus is the father of Icarus.
- This reference also strongly hints toward 101A being Weasel's prison number, as he is the person behind the idea of building Icarus.
