==Plot==
At the Afghan boneyard, Soap continues his attempts to contact Ghost and Roach to no avail. Price states that Shepherd is "cleaning" house, and tells him that he is on his way to him. Soap realized Shepherd has betrayed the 141.
Shadow Company and Makarov's men are fighting each other in a vicious battle throughout the whole boneyard, with technicals, Little Birds and BTR-80s being deployed. Soap makes his way through the heat of the battle, avoiding the two warring factions while making his way to the extraction point. Price contacts Nikolai to extract him and Soap with his C-130, which Nikolai agrees to do.
On the way, Price taps into Makarov's channels and tells him that Shepherd is now a "war hero" with a blank check and information with his movements. Price offers to take out Shepherd for Makarov, who grudgingly gives up Shepherd's base of operations, Site Hotel Bravo. Nikolai comments on the hectic battle below, and knowing that it is too dangerous to linger around, threatens to leave the two behind if Soap takes too long. Soap makes his way to Price, who has Rook, a Task Force 141 soldier who survived Shepherd's betrayal, commandeer a UAZ-3151 to escape in.
A hectic vehicle battle ensues, and in the process, Rook is killed by a stray gunshot by Shadow Company forces. His foot still on the pedal, Soap is forced to steer the jeep into the cargo hold of Nikolai's C-130 and they manage to escape the boneyard.

==Trivia==
*The MH-6 Little Birds on this level appear to be much weaker than other helicopters; they can easily be shot down with almost anything.
*The player can find Akimbo TMP's with Red Dot Sights on this level.
*If the player kills all the enemies by the Inner Circle controlled BTR-80s while the BTR is firing at a Shadow Company helicopter, it is possible to run around the BTR without either the BTR or the helicopter even trying to kill the player.
*It is possible, though extremely rare, to find a SPAS-12, Striker or Dragunov with Woodland Camouflage on this map.
*In the Spanish version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the line "Soap! Rook is down!" is mistranslated as "¡Soap! ¡El novato ha caído!" (Soap! The rookie is down!).
* When the player gets in the Jeep, their ammo is automatically refilled. Their field of view is also increased.
*In the Remastered version, after Rook is shot in the head and dies, his name will still appear as if he was still alive, similar to Pyle in World At War and Ambassador Harris in Modern Warfare (2019).
*Rather than the AK-47 having woodland camouflage like in "Loose Ends", the only attachment it's equipped with is a red dot sight and has no camo at all. Only for RPG units to have it.
*Soap's loadout and suit resembles a slight similarity with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's "All Ghillied Up" mission. Soap is seen wearing what appears to be a ghillie suit and his loadout is a suppressed sniper rifle like how Lieutenant Price and MacMillan had in Pripyat.
*The name of this mission is taken from the ancient proverb, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", which means that two opposing parties should work together to bring down a common enemy. Price mentions this proverb to Makarov through the radio, to which Makarov tells him that it cuts both ways meaning both sides often turn on each other.
*After getting into Nikolai's AC-130, it's possible to see that no one is present in the cockpit.
*While driving, only Shadow Company soldiers chase you.
*This level was shown in the game's reveal trailer. In the footage shown there are Airport Security officers battling Shadow Company. Presumably they were used as placeholders for the Inner Circle. At 1:28 in the trailer, a Winter Spetsnaz soldier can be seen in the same area.
