Trivia[]
There is an apple levitating in what appears to be an electromagnetic field on the map. When shot, the bullets deflect and hit the walls around it.
The player can see three alien carcasses covered with blankets, which also have hands with four fingers and blue feet with four toes sticking out from the blankets.
It should be noted that these bodies have a tag on them which reads "Government Property."
In the alien room, there is an autopsy table that was thrown into a wall, and has large amounts of blood throughout the room, suggesting an alien escape.
There are numerous panels throughout the map that can be destroyed. If the action button is pressed, sounds will play. After being destroyed, these panels will re-spawn.
All the black vans' license plates say "exempt", and all the white vans' license plates say "U.S.Gov".
The map's name might also be a reference to the Megadeth song of the same name.
