After grabbing the Aether Extractors contract phone and downloading the intel, players should take a moment to drop any pursuing zombies or hounds before moving to the contract area. Players will have t hree minutes to fight through the three squads of mercenaries and disable the extractors before the onboard rockets launch and extract all the collected aether - so, while moving quickly is a priority, it is crucial to remove any threats that can sneak up on players when fighting the mercenaries. Move with a sense of urgency but be deliberate in clearing corners and ensuring all mercenaries are dealt with before attempting to disable an extractor. Use audio clues to help identify nearby soldiers and pinpoint their locat  
  
  
Any offensive armaments like the Mortar Strike can be excellent at quickly removing the Terminus forces around an extractor, just be careful not to get caught in the effect area. Throwable tactical and lethal equipment are also effective in this regard - when choosing between Epic tactical gear options, the Cymbal Monkeys or the Kazimir Device , the latter will pull the mercenaries into the blackhole effect , similar to zombies, making it more effective when dispatching a large group of Terminus goons . While the Cymbal Monkey does have an effective blast radius, the Mercenaries do not fall prey to the upbeat tune and will not gather around the explosion the way zombies would. Claymores and proximity mines can be useful at deterring recon assailants , but be cautious of proximity mine placement not to accidentally catch yourself in the blast if triggered by a mercenary. Thermite is also highly effective against groups and heavily armored troops like the shocktroop  
  
  
The mercenaries in MWZ can be a serious challenge. Players will want to ensure they are geared up with high quality weapons, vests, and plenty of plates and url revives before attempting this contract , especially in higher threat areas. If players can hack all three computers and disable all three extractors, the Aether Extractors contract will be completed, with the Reward Rift spawning by the final extractor disabled. In higher threat tiers, players will often encounter even more difficult mercenary troops, including Riot Shield mercenari  
  
  
Media outlets mostly lambasted the level, accusing Infinity Ward of creating shock value and even going so far as to compare it to real-life terrorist attacks that took place after the SLG game story guide’s release. Over time, the critical response to the mission has softened, and has since opened up discussion about the depiction of mature themes in video games. It was also alluded to in the trailer for the 2023 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III . The tone of the games used to be very straight-faced, before it introduced things like cameos from Heavy Metal artists and Nicki Minaj sk  
  
  
An infamous level from the otherwise-acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 , ‘No Russian’ takes a drastic turn from fighting terrorists to strolling through an airport while undercover and mowing down civilians alongside said terrorists. What the game does not mention is that shooting innocents is entirely optional, while battling the armed police force is mandatory to progress and complete the le  
  
  
Additionally, players will also gain the ability to unleash a small nuclear blast on zombies by flopping on the ground. The original golden feature of the perk is back - and the distance players fall after sprinting and diving to flop on the ground will determine the damage and range of the blast. Players can use this blast to quickly drop large groups of zombies if a small elevated platform is available to dive f

Sandy Peterson’s maps for DOOM were notably different from those created by the other developers of id Software. Peterson liked more abstract designs for maps, and was more experimental. As such, fans remain divided to this day about his creations. One such level, ‘The Chasm’ from DOOM II: Hell On Earth , was said to have been inspired by a nightmare the developer had involving thin bridges and deep cha
