Interesting Things
content auto translated from {from}

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I won't be able to calm down until I get at least most of the achievements. I just love them, what can I say? \_

However, this is also great for you because I managed to complete some missions three times. Why is this great for you? Because in the CoD series, there are often interesting little details that you might not notice right away.

And that's what we'll discuss in our program.

D.D.B.T. or the tale of how the British bent the Americans

As soon as you finish shooting in front of the brave recruits, you're immediately sent to the training ground. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend rushing.

Go to the fence near these guys and turn up the volume as high as possible. In addition to the jabs at the black guy African American, you can learn that just yesterday, some super cool squad visited the training ground, and five people from the Delta team did it all in "one" go. They also mentioned that there was some guy with a mohawk and another one with a skull mask... Right, they’re talking about Task Force 141 and Soap with Ghost in particular.

But the British feats at the training ground don't end there. When you get to the training ground itself, look up - there will be Shepherd with two bodyguards. The latter are talking to each other.

They actually say a lot, but the main point is this: some guy in a skull mask completed the course in 8 (whatever units - they don’t specify), but Ghost is a real monster o_O

I’ve seen this somewhere... Or will I?

Right at the beginning of the first mission. Pay attention to Shepherd's actions.

I think those who have completed the game will easily remember where we’ll see exactly the same thing. But under completely different conditions and through the eyes of a completely different person.

"I need to post this on the internet!"

The same mission, explosion of a large building. Pay attention to the comrades during the explosion:

They are recording the explosion on a phone o_O And then they’re sharing their opinions about the explosion:

Although I agree, the explosion is really cool.

Don’t believe that it’s actually a phone? Well, let’s mentally return to the training ground!

Yes, you too have that expression on your face when you sit in front of the computer. But I didn't say that ;)

Oh, these military men!

They shouldn't be allowed to talk over the loudspeaker! Mission "Rock Climber", enemy base. Right after a vehicle drives by you, turn the volume to maximum and hide somewhere where no one is. Then you'll easily hear the loud communications of the base. Besides the quite ordinary phrases, you can also hear two... um... unusual ones:

  • Who took the sandwich from the supply table, return it immediately. I know who did it. You're going to regret it, you bastard.

  • Private Borodin, your Roxana has arrived. A wonderful rubber doll. I personally tested it in all modes.

No, they seriously need to be prohibited from even using the radio.

Somewhere in Kamchatka

Right during the loading of the mission "Colony", you can notice that this colony is marked as GULAG.

Out of curiosity, I started digging through the archives. It turned out that there were no significant GULAGs in Kamchatka. There was only one relatively large regional management of colonies. But the broad Russian thought went further...

After all, there are maps. Wonderful satellite maps. Here is the location. There’s nothing there; I checked with several maps (yes, I had nothing else to do =)). I think it’s difficult to miss such a large object in such a small area. There are simply no analogues of this colony in reality.

By the way, an interesting detail: while in Moscow ("No words in Russian") it’s practically summer, near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky ("Colony") there’s a fairly thick layer of snow. Although this is quite possible, it’s an interesting detail.

Smile - it annoys everyone

Inside the colony itself, you can find security cameras.

They show not "some places", but quite real rooms that you will have to visit. Unfortunately, apparently, this is just a recording, not a live feed. On the other hand, these cameras are too far from the necessary rooms to be able to return and ask your teammates to make faces for the camera =)

Wait, we've seen this somewhere too

The moment of meeting Price.

Pay attention to the pistol. It’s a Colt M1911 (A1). A standard model. It’s interesting because it hasn’t been used by the American military since 1990, so 25 years relative to the game time.

Although there are quite a few outdated weapons here. This pistol is interesting not for that reason, but for a completely different one. I think the most attentive fans of the series recognized it immediately.

It was a bullet from this pistol that proved fatal for Imran Zakhaev.

And this pistol indeed belongs to Price.

Well, for starters, that’s enough. I think this is far from all the subtleties of the game - after all, the game has just appeared on the shelves, and I’ve only described a few levels. But getting and absorbing a lot of information at once is quite a hard task.

Good luck and have a great game.
