— Spec Ops description

Terminal is the fourth Special Ops mission in the Delta series of ops and the nineteenth mission overall. It takes place in Zakhaev International Airport, where "No Russian" and the multiplayer map Terminal take place. The player goes through the same path but opposite direction compared to "No Russian".

The Infinity Ward best time for Terminal is 36.4 seconds, as it is possible to sprint past the ambushes by sticking to the stair railings.

Overview

The player, an Army Ranger caught in the Zakhaev International Airport massacre, must fight through several ambushes while trying to get to the extraction point.

There are several waves of FSB troops in this mission, which are triggered at specific points in the level.

Those wielding the Riot Shield can only be defeated with explosives, careful shots to exposed arms or toes, or flanking (which is a dangerous tactic on this mission). It is also possible to melee them through the shield twice to kill them. However, don't overestimate the threat from the Riot Shield officers, the main danger is from the other FSB officers who are fast and have assault rifles.

Trivia

• At the beginning of the level when the second wave of FSB is triggered from the second level, the two elevators beside the staircase are destroyed by explosives. This is likely as the map is shared directly with "No Russian" where Vladimir Makarov tosses a grenade in the elevator to eliminate the Zakhaev Airport Security, so this explosive sequence remained programmed in the Special Ops. The multiplayer level Terminal is actually a different layout.
• The elevators make good hiding spots during the Special Ops mission, as they are bullet and explosive proof (despite in "No Russian" grenades destroying them).
