22 Trivia
Call of Duty: Finest Hour[]
Yusef.
In Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Yusef is a civilian man who helps out Popski's Private Army during the British Campaign levels Mission: Matmata and Depot Saboteurs. He wears clothing common to Arabic civilians in the area and it is possible for him to die in battle.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare[]
In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, many civilians can be seen being executed by the OpFor in The Coup, in which the playable character is the President of the unnamed nation in which the events take place. Several other non-combatants are seen hiding and fleeing from the violence. A rural farmer appears in the level, Hunted, who is questioned and is about to be executed by Ultranationalists (the player can choose to save his life, which earns an achievement, Man of the People). Two civilians appear in the following level, Death From Above, when several S.A.S. commandeer two civilian jeeps (the mission is failed if they are attacked). Many civilian drivers can be seen in Game Over, particularly the first portion of the level in which the player's jeep enters a highway. Shooting them through their windshields has no effect, likely due to the confusion which would arise from a variable such as randomly crashing vehicle in the midst of a scripted chase. Many dead civilians can be seen in Mile High Club. One last civilian, originally named Kriegler, is held hostage at the end of the mission and must be rescued.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]
Civilians appear more frequently and in far greater numbers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered. Easily, their most prominent appearance is during the mission No Russian. As an undercover CIA agent, players (in the role of Joseph Allen) join a group of Russian Ultranationalists in an outright massacre in a Moscow airport (Zakhaev International Airport). Scores of civilians are murdered in cold blood by the player's allies. The player can choose to kill the civilians, however it should be noted that prior to the mission's start, players of the game are given several warnings as to the graphic nature of the following scenes, and may choose to skip the mission entirely.
No Russian sparked a wave of controversy regarding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, with many in the media displaying outrage at the notion of players being instructed to kill unarmed civilians in cold blood. The game, however, gives no such prompt; it is possible to complete the level without killing a single civilian or an airport security officer. In Russia, copies of the game had the mission removed entirely. Some gaming outlets also criticized the level, with IGN likening it to a publicity stunt by Infinity Ward. Also, contrary to initial popular belief, there are no children in the airport.
Civilians make their first appearance of the game in the mission, Team Player, when the player is riding in the humvee in the town. They run away from the convoy that the player is riding in, and are not actually present when fighting breaks out in the town.
A large group of civilians is seen in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the mission, Takedown. A member of Task Force 141 (Meat) evacuates them from the area with a warning in Portuguese and a burst of gunfire aimed at the sky. Further non-combatants are seen in Bomb Squad and O Cristo Redentor.
A single civilian is present in the mission Exodus. As the player advances down the street at the beginning of the level, a car driving towards the starting point will speed by on the street. The civilian driving said car will crash it and then explode; there is no way to save them.
In The Pit for the mission S.S.D.D. and the Special Ops mission The Pit, there are several civilian targets as well as hostile targets. If the civilians are shot in S.S.D.D., the player will receive a time deduction after completing the course. If the civilian targets are shot in The Pit, the player will be unable to achieve a 3-star rating when they complete the course.
Civilians are held hostage in The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday and the Special Ops mission Wetwork in the oil rig.
