Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Multiplayer

The Air Support Marker is featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Multiplayer to signal locations for airdrop killstreaks . Be advised that it takes a bit of time for the drop to actually reach the player, so it is best to call it in somewhere far from the combat.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Campaign

The Air Support Marker returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is featured in the campaign mission "Project Nova ", where it marks locations for friendly mortar strikes.

Multiplayer

The Air Support Marker returns and is once again used to mark locations for friendly airdrops. The marker seems a bit clunkier in this game, as it does not bounce as much when thrown, and also seems to not go as far as it's Modern Warfare 2 counterpart. It also makes a bit more noise when thrown than its Modern Warfare counterparts.
