The subject of this article appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The F-15 Eagle is a single seat, twin engine, all weather, air superiority fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat.

Modern Warfare 2

Singleplayer

The F-15 Eagle is commonly seen in Campaign, most notably providing Close-Air Support in "Team Player" and performing SEAD operations during the assault on the Gulag during the mission "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday"

Multiplayer

In Modern Warfare 2, the F-15 Eagle appears in multiplayer as a killstreak reward. Three F-15 Eagles are unlocked as a 6-kill killstreak, the Precision Airstrike. This airstrike is directional and calls in three F-15s to cluster bomb an area, similar to the Call of Duty 4 version. Unlike the Stealth bomber, the F-15s will show up (but will not be announced) since F-15's do not have stealth technology.

In the Battle of New York scene the F-15 is spotted defending and fighting with Russian F-16 Falcon. Both aircraft where borrowed from US Air Force for motion and image capture.

Trivia

  • In the single-level "The Gulag", two F-15s are seen launching AIM-120 AMRAAMS at missile emplacements. AMRAAMS are a medium range air-to-air missile, and are not designed to hit ground targets. (Note: this is only partially true; a radio operator on the missions clearly says "Four HARMs for the section". the AGM-88 HARM is an anti-SAM/radar missile designed to destroy missile emplacements. however, in game, the model of the missile is an AMRAAM, and the brevity code "Fox Three" used when they are launched in that level is used for missiles like the AMRAAM.)
  • It is a common mistake that people think throughout that level Ghost refers to them as the navy which is incorrect as the Navy does not operate them. In actual fact, Ghost is referring to the Navy ships bombarding the Gulag, and these are mentioned if the conversation is followed through the level.
  • All F-15s in the game bear the tail code "IW4" on their vertical stabilizers. The code usually identifies a plane's unit or base assignment, but since "IW4" is not in use by any of those entities, it clearly refers to the game's engine.
  • The F-15s in many different levels (such as "Exodus", "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday" and others) have no visible pilots.
  • On the PC, if you no-clip in "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday " under the F-15 Eagle the landing gear is still deployed.
