<br>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 missions’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<br> <br>Players will also find that when aiming down sights, the auto-aim will line up the sight of a weapon with a target's head rather than center mass.

Players will encounter recon mercenaries, snipers, and shocktroopers , so players will need to be able to quickly change their effective combat range. Versatile assault rifles like the M13B and the M4 and steadier SMGs like the Striker 9 excel in this regard, especially when players take advantage of Modern Warfare 3's tactical stance feature . Auto-shotguns can be helpful for dealing with the recon mercenaries who charge in close in an attempt to stab players - the Riveter , with attachments that improve range and accuracy, can be an effective all around tool as well. Pack-a-Punch is an absolute must if attempting this contract in a higher threat tier - while most mercenaries can be quickly dispatched with headshots, the heavier armored soldiers can be nearly invulnerable to weapons of low rarity and without Pack-A-Punch.

Worse still are the zombies armed with shotguns, as they fire them rapidly with no need to reload. While they can have their guns knocked out of their hands by being shot, shooting their heads is the only way to kill them. All of this made the 'Mansion' level almost unbearable.
