Trivia

CIA Interrogation Room BOII — The interrogation room.

A CIA interrogation room like the one that Alex Mason was in will be seen and mentioned by Harper at the train station, revealing that the CIA has had an extensive presence around the world.
This mission could be inspired by the RQ-170 drone captured by Iran, as both the mission and the real event have a US drone being captured by a Middle-Eastern country and its contents sold to China.
If the player has subtitles on, when Harper says, "These drones are really starting to piss me off," it censors "piss", even if the graphic content is not reduced.
Though it is very difficult to do, if the player alerts the drone helicopter and manages to avoid its attacks, Harper will eventually destroy it. However it is much easier by using a powerful weapon such as the M82A1.
- Strangely, if the drone is destroyed, when Harper reaches the two soldiers standing above the sewer entrance, he will shoot them both immediately.
The building after avoiding the drone is extremely reminiscent of the collapsed building after the ambush in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 mission, "Scorched Earth".
During the SOC-T sequence of the level, it is possible to hear both "Escape from Anthem" and "Pakistan Run", tracks from Black Ops II OST.
- During the mission, some elements of the "Anthem" can be heard. Also, Rivers and Rain can be heard.
The looters being killed by the MQ Drone carry Tac-45's that can be used.
This is the second mission where the mission data (title, location, etc.) doesn't appear when the level starts, the first being Pyrrhic Victory.
This is the first mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops II where Section is seen in third person outside of cutscenes in the game.
The spy that DeFalco shoots in the knees was a member of the ISI. (Possibly meaning that he was spying on Menendez).
- DeFalco shot the spy on the knees, as Menendez did with Woods and Hudson
In the first part of the level, Harper and Crosby both use a SCAR-H. However, Salazar has an M27.
When taking control of Maximus, enemy soldiers will rappel down from a VTOL. This VTOL can be destroyed after dropping of the soldiers and start flying away.
When meeting Tian Zhao, both Section and Harper stand calmly and try to reason with him, while Salazar can be seen standing in a very sharp position, ready to fire, and yet Zhao's bodyguards pay attention only to Section and Harper.
When meeting Zhao, Crosby disappears and another SEAL will take his place.
A mysterious corpse will pop out when the player swims to continue spying on Menendez.
On the Behind the Scenes of the reveal trailer, Salazar can be seen hiding from the MQ Drone under the ISI truck. However, he was wearing the clothes from the mission Karma.
If the player stands towards the end of the street and does not help Harper push the gate open, the bus will start tumbling toward the player at incredible speed and kill them.
When the player must hide from the MQ Drone, the player's field of view is decreased dramatically.
In the beginning of the level, the player can see several signs labelled "Fariha Market". These signs are reused from the Modern Warfare 2 map Invasion.
Sometimes the player will walk out of the water yet still move their arms as if they are still swimming.
When Harper shouts "Look out, grenade!", he says grenade when he's in the water yet it still sounds as if he was above the water.

Achievements/Trophies

Hey Good Looking (10 / Bronze Trophy ) - Plastic surgery avoided.

Waterlogged (20 / Bronze Trophy ) - Gather information on Raul Menendez suspected terrorist plot.
