Removed Areas

This is a sub-page of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii).

Several single-player and multiplayer levels were made but eventually scrapped for various reasons. There are no unfinished playable levels, but there are leftovers and traces in the game's files and SDK.

Campaign#

Art Gallery#

Only the skybox remains - it was ripped from "Crossing the Rhine" in Call of Duty 2. Presumably, the idea evolved into "Museum" in Modern Warfare 2.

Cobra Pilot#

A USMC mission where you pilot a helicopter in a Middle Eastern city. The level was cut very late in production, as reference to it can be found in promotional material released shortly before the release of the game. A nighttime version of this level also existed, but is only referenced by name and does not have its own unique assets. Models of all the buildings in the level still exist in the SDK. Additionally, the following text strings can be found in the SDK:

Descent#

Another USMC mission. This one involves infiltrating an underground bunker to photograph and identify the remains of Al-Asad and other dead officers. The only remnants of this mission are a corridor in the mission Crew Expendable, the Camera "weapon", as well as the following text strings found in the SDK:

REFERENCE	LANG_ENGLISH	Notes
OBJ_DOCKS1	Eliminate the Axis naval artillery crews at the docks. [&&1 remaining]	Leftover from the Call of Duty 2 mission "The End of the Beginning".

INFO	U.S. Marines entering underground command bunker

Designated Marksman#

Another late USMC mission, taking place in Saudi Arabia. This one would have involved defending a base and blowing up stuff like Overpasses and Satellite Arrays. Fun! Only the minimap image and the following text strings remain:

REFERENCE	LANG_ENGLISH	Notes
TITLE	Designated Marksman
TIME	Day 6 - 1500 HRS - 30 miles south of Riyadh - R.O.A.	This mission was likely to take place directly after Descent.

Designated Training#

Yet another late USMC mission, also taking place in Saudi Arabia. This mission would involve storming and defending a construction site. Interestingly, the mission name implies that it would have been the standard introductory training mission, although its in-game assets refer to it under the development name "rallypoint". Despite the name, there is no clear connection between Designated Marksman and Designated Training.

The following text strings can be found in the SDK:

REFERENCE	LANG_ENGLISH	Notes
TITLE	Designated Training
PLACE	Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia
DATE	Day 5 - 1746 hrs

OBJ_ANTI_AIR_UNITS	Destroy all anti-air units in the area. [&&1 Remaining]

Helicopter Ride#

A mission where you would presumably ride in a helicopter. The only remains are an impressively old, largely unedited minimap image with references to "COD3" in the visible dev console text on it. It can be seen from the screenshot that the image was dated December 20, 2006, indicating that this level was worked on quite early in development.

Immediate Action#

A cut mission set in the American Embassy in London. This mission is likely loosely based on the Iranian Embassy Siege of 1980. This mission would have included a Breaching mechanic. Only the following text strings remain:

cqb_2#

An unknown level, only known as "cqb_2". This level appears in Build 253's MenuTest as "CQB Test", however, it is unable to be loaded on that build due to its missing .ff file (FastFile). Only a minimap remains.

Parabolic#

An early mission involving use of a parabolic microphone to collect intel and save a prisoner. This is possibly an earlier version of Blackout, as they both involve BM21 rockets and both share many geometry assets viewable in the SDK's level editor. Only text strings and assets for the parabolic microphone remain.

Rivertown#

Only a .vision file and a very short localized string file remain. The only two strings left for this mission were copied and pasted from Parabolic's localized string file.

(Source: Github - English-localized strings file - rivertown.str)

School#

Only a minimap and localized strings file remains. However, the localized strings file is an identical copy of Designated Training's localized strings file.

Seaknight Assault#

Only a small number of geometry assets viewable in the SDK's level editor remain. Appears to have been a Middle Eastern USMC mission.

Seaknight Defend#

Strike#

Possibly a campaign version of Strike. Only a .vision file remains.

An early USMC mission involving border security patrol on the Omani-Saudi Arabian border. Only an untextured and flat shaded minimap image and the following text strings viewable in the SDK remain:

Wet Work#

A cut mission with no relation to the "Wet Work" multiplayer map. Only a .vision file remains.

Zipline#

A mission which is likely a precursor to Blackout, as prefabs in the level editor are mostly identical to those of Blackout and Parabolic. Only the skybox texture still exists, and was reused for Blackout. Additionally, a single string remains with no useful information:

REFERENCE	LANG_ENGLISH	Notes
OBJ_WHATEVER	Temp text	This mission was likely cut very early in production judging from the lack of localized strings.

Miscellaneous#

Broadcast Changes#

Early Load Screen	Final Load Screen

Some differences can be seen between the early and final load screens for the map Broadcast. Such changes included the black ceiling in the early one and the load screen showing a lobby in contrast to the final which has a white ceiling and shows the newsroom. On a related note, Broadcast has an early minimap as well.
