1) Personally, I think the end of Modern Warfare 3 was the most memorable moment from that game. Over the top insanity death of main villain is over the top.
2) I liked the sniper mission more. Hearing Reznov yell, "No scope? Nice!" was amazing when I pulled it off.
3) I do like the fact that you can change the ending, but it raises some serious questions for me. One, didn't they think to check for a pulse? You shot him in the leg, so if anything, I would think Mason would at least be groaning in agony, if not screaming. But no, he's just a lifeless body. And how did he get captured anyway, and then manage to escape completely unnoticed? And finally--and even the game asks this question--"Where the hell (has he) been?"
4) Oh, good level. Very good level. Played to death by copycats now, but man when it first appeared...whoo.
5) Literally jumped up and yelled, "NO!" when it happened. I then played the game nonstop until I drove a knife into Shepard's eye after murdering his two wounded pilots. No mercy for any of them.
6) So far, the best Call of Duty level ever made. I'm curious if I will ever come across another level that can manage to top it.
7) "I died? I died! I'm not suppose to die!"
8) By the time I played Call of Duty, I had already been spoiled by what the later games could do, so the original didn't pack that much of a punch for me. But I do remember that level, and the thing that stuck with me the most were the lies coming out of the commander's mouth as you are riding in the boat. "You will be well supplied. You will have food, you will have water. What do you think the Germans have? Nothing!"
Yeah...not so much.
