Trivia[]
This mission takes place after the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, as the destroyed bridge detonated by Yuri (or Price) can be seen while en route to the courtyard in the Little Bird, showing signs of reconstruction.
The locations of enemy intel in the beginning of the mission is randomized, as there are no preset enemies that will always carry the intel.
