Trivia

• Black Box was the first map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to portray Delta Force facing the Inner Circle. The only other map to feature this is Oasis.
• The Content Collection 1 trailer shows Black Box's location as Los Angeles, California.
• There is a Teddy Bear riding an inflatable ring in the pool in Black Box. In addition, it is wearing a Boonie hat similar to the one Captain Price wears.
• There is a picture in one of the houses in Black Box. Some of which show some real life people, who are developers at Raven Software currently working on the content packs. One person in the picture is wearing a Raven Software Shirt.
• Strangely, inside Air Force One, many of the signs are in Russian. This is likely the developers saving time and resources by reusing textures from the Russian President's plane in "Turbulence".
• Black Box's name is a reference to the black box in airplanes, a recording device that record what happens inside the cockpit, which is often searched for in a crashed plane to discover how it crashed.
• The boxes found close to the plane have the number 2009 on them, which is the same numbers on the boxes in the Modern Warfare 2 map Terminal, and the same year Modern Warfare 2 was released
• This is the second multiplayer map in the CoD series to feature a non-combatnant airplane, the first being Terminal from Modern Warfare 2.
