Acceptable Losses

"Acceptable Losses" is the third Special Ops mission from the Delta group in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and the eighteenth mission overall. It is based on the level "Cliffhanger" with the player trying to sneak into and sabotage a remote airbase located in the mountains.
The Infinity Ward best time for Acceptable Losses is 48.15 seconds.
==Overview==
The player starts deep within an enemy airbase featured in the "Cliffhanger" mission. The objectives are to plant three C4 charges on three locations: A helicopter gunship near the hangars, a combat plane parked near the runway and an ammunition cache inside a barracks. After that, the player must get to the extraction point. A severe snowstorm limits the visibility, so the player can employ stealth. However, there is significant enemy presence near the runway and around the barracks, so any dead bodies will eventually attract attention, raising the enemy alertness at best. The primary weapon for this mission is a silenced AA-12 with a Heartbeat Sensor and Red Dot Sight, which is ill-suited for engaging the enemy in the open because of its very short effective range.
A truck filled with four soldiers patrols the base, and will unload its soldiers if it finds dead bodies. Soap notifies the player if the truck is approaching and if its soldiers are disembarking. Enemies finding dead bodies do not cause alarms to happen immediately, but they begin investigating the surrounding area. Killing isolated groups of enemies, including the truck, with grenades does not raise the alarm, but causes all nearby soldiers to be suspicious.
