Davis Family Vacation

Davis Family Vacation is the eighth mission of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It takes place right after Mind the Gap, with no briefing cutscene playing before the mission. It is mainly cinematic, like "Prologue".
Much like "No Russian" in Modern Warfare 2, this mission can be skipped due to its disturbing content. This mission marks the end of Act 1 of the campaign.
==Characters==
*Mr. Davis (playable, deceased)
*Mrs. Davis (deceased)
*Sarah Davis (deceased)
*Two Inner Circle members
==Plot==
Mr. Davis turns on his video camera and films his wife and daughter on the pavement (sidewalk) in London. His wife and his daughter, Sarah, mention their destination for the day, Big Ben. Filled with excitement, Sarah runs toward a flock of pigeons on the corner of the pavement and spins around, laughing.
Suddenly, a box truck stops around the corner and two Russians in gas masks dismount and run away. Shortly after, the truck explodes, killing the family. The truck releases gas as the camera is still recording. This explosion became part of a series of chemical attacks across Europe, triggering the next step of World War III.

==Trivia==
*If the player were to exit the game after the train crash in "Mind the Gap" and load back in later, instead of showing the loading screen seen in the aforementioned mission, the loading screen will show Burns slipping in and out of consciousness in the aftermath of the train crash. Additionally, if the player were to pause the game, the menu would say there is one intel as opposed to two in the previous mission, as the player is technically now in "Davis Family Vacation".
*It is possible to skip the mission if the player considers its content offensive, with no harm to campaign progress, much like "No Russian" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
*This level was shown during the IGN Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 live stream.
*Despite the level taking place in the U.K., all of the parking meters have U.S. Dollar pricing on them.
*The level is not selectable from the level select menu, taking place within "Mind the Gap", hence there being one intel required to be found during the gas attack scene.
*The player cannot cross the road.
*It is possible to "aim" with the camera by pressing the aim button.
*It is easier on the Wii version to see through the gas, due to graphical limitations.
*At the end of "Mind the Gap", if the player kills the police or the SAS operators or returns to the underground station and repeatedly switches their weapon with a dropped one, they can bring it into this mission. The player can use the weapon though none of the cars will explode if shot at and if the player kills any of the civilians or the two Inner Circle members that were in the truck, they will get the "civilian killed" message. Strangely, shooting Sarah Davis will cause her to glitch into the ground with no penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgKWahoIb1M
*In the map, Sanctuary, there are three grassy spots. If the player lies down in the grass, they will hear Sarah and Mrs. Davis repeating quotes from the level.
