Cliffhanger (mission)/Trivia

==Climbing==
*In the remastered version of the campaign, when the player has climbed to the top and is getting up from the cliff, Roach's shadow is visible. From this it is shown that he is wearing a beanie just like John "Soap" MacTavish is. However, the shadow will disappear as soon as the player stands up.
*The player can get across MacTavish when he's smoking his cigar. To do this, the player must jump over him. If done so, the player can see that MacTavish's nose passes through his jacket's collar.https://imgur.com/a/mactavish-nose-clipping-L555ton
*When climbing up after the second jump, Roach's shadow consists of two floating arms which disappear before pulling out the ACR.
*On the first jump, if the player hesitates to jump when Soap does, he will start climbing, stop and wave to Roach to jump. He will keep doing that until Roach attempts the jump.
*If the player presses the melee button while holding the ice picks both ice picks will swing as if they were a melee weapon.
*The player can hear Roach yelling if he falls off the mountain.
==Approach==
*Should the player decide to not shoot either of the two-man guard patrols after climbing up, Soap will do it while chastising the player for not helping out, saying "I guess I have to do everything?" The second time, he is a bit more agitated and replies with "This would be a lot easier if you do some of the work."
*Should the player instead kill both guards, Soap will give his standard lines as though the player had taken them down together as normal. On other occasions, he will not say anything at all and continue as if nothing happened.
*If the player were to go ahead of Soap and shoot one of the enemies in the second pair, and damage but not kill the other, Soap will kill him and say "There is the reason we brought silencers."
*Soap says he will help Roach with a Thermal Scope, sniping enemies. However, his M14 EBR has the default scope attached.
**If the player uses the command give m21_scoped_arctic_silenced, the M14 EBR given will not have the Thermal Scope.
* If the player picks up a weapon from the enemy, Soap will advise the player that un-suppressed firearms will attract a lot of attention.
*If the player attempts to kill a guard with the USP .45, Soap will say, "That was sloppy."
*If the player kills a guard first when Soap says "He's mine", he will reply after the player has killed him "Then again, maybe not" or "Never mind".
*If the player reaches the fueling station fast enough, sometimes Soap's script will mix around out of order.
*If the player does not kill or alert any enemies while sneaking through the base to the fueling station after separating with Soap he will comment, "No kills, no alerts. Impressive, Roach."
*If the player destroys a jeep when there are no enemies around (or are unaware of your location) MacTavish will comment "Wow, I wonder if they'll notice a flaming wreck in the middle of the road", although the subtitles say "Gee, I wonder if they'll notice a flaming wreck in the middle of the road."
*If the player goes to the hangar with the intel before they rendezvous with MacTavish, the hangar is empty. However, upon planting the C4 on the fueling station, two workers can be seen inside repairing a . They can be killed without penalty, as they are simply "scenery" enemies - even if shot at with an unsuppressed weapon, they will not react to it. As soon as the player rendezvous with Soap, the two workers will disappear if they were not killed.
*While Soap takes out lone, unaware enemies if the player gets near them, he will not take down enemies if they discover the player, instead stating the direction in which they are coming from.
*If the player gets caught multiple times before they reach the fueling station Soap will comment "You're not very sneaky Roach."
==Hangar==
*If the player takes out the USP .45 and looks at the hand holding the Tactical Knife, Roach's gloves appear to say "Snowfinity", a reference to Infinity Ward.
*If the player moves up to the window where the ACS module is, an APC located outside will vanish as soon as the intel is collected.
* If the player gets seen on the way to the hangar and leads guards to the area where Soap is hiding, he will comment, "Brought some friends with you?"
*Once the player enters the hangar, the ice covering Roach's goggles and ACR seems to melt away.
*If Roach shoots the guard before MacTavish assaults him, MacTavish will stop and take up a shooting stance, even if the guard is dead.
*The guard in the hangar starts to bleed before Soap stabs him.
==Cover blown==
*After the player retrieves the ACS module if the player goes and looks out the window, they can see the guards spawn outside the hangar.
*Petrov's speech is cut if the player reveals themselves in front of the Ultranationalists surrounding Soap.
==Snowmobile==
*When the player is close to jumping over the giant gap at the end of the level, they will hear the music from the mission "Crew Expendable" in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
*While driving the snowmobile down the large hill at the end, hitting Soap's snowmobile from behind will kill the player and send them flying.
*If the player is killed when driving up a large hill, the camera will still go over the jump.
*When at extraction, Kilo Six-One will say "We're at bingo fuel," but the subtitles say "We're getting close to bingo fuel."
== Miscellaneous ==
*In the Worldwide Reveal Trailer, it shows Soap being killed after being caught by the soldiers in hangar.
* The ACR has more zoom on the Red Dot Sight. This is easily noticed when the player compares it against an AK-47 Red Dot Sight.
* In the E3 2009 demo, numerous differences to the release version are apparent:
**The player's objective is to download data from a computer, but in the release version it is to retrieve the ACS module; the computer is on the same table as the ACS module in the release version.
**Soap has a timid English accent rather than a loud Scottish one. Major Petrov also has a different voice, and the audio post-processing sounds more like a radio transmission than the megaphone effect.
**Roach performs a slashing motion with the Tactical Knife instead of stabbing with it.
**Intel no. 2 is not present in the demo.
*There are multiple references to the level in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 made by DICE.
**One is in the mission "Snowblind", where Sweetwater claims that Braidwood would "send in some special ops douchebags with pussy-ass heartbeat monitors on their guns instead of us", referring to Task Force 141 and the Heartbeat Sensor.
**The other is in the mission "No One Gets Left Behind". It is in a conversation between Haggard and Sweetwater in a quad-bike race, with Sweetwater saying, "If this was a snowmobile race, I'd take you down!" to which Haggard responds, "It's not a snowmobile. Snowmobiles are for sissies!"
*In the early development of the level, Captain Price was scheduled to be with the player and the player would control Soap, rather than Roach.
*If give ammo cheat is used, the player could notice that the ACR is special not only for three attachments and unique camouflage, but also for 840 capacity instead of usual 630.
*If Roach crouches near a heater, the frost around his goggles will melt. When the player leaves, frost will appear on the goggles again.
*In the Pre-Alpha Build, Soap’s callsign was Papa Six instead of Bravo Six.
==Remaster==
*In the Remastered version of the level, Roach can perform a unique execution on the first patrol. If the player presses the melee button behind them, Roach will pull out his climbing picks and stab the guards.
*Another unique execution in the Remaster of the level is when Roach approaches the first building of the encampment containing a soldier standing guard and a soldier asleep in his chair. After the first guard is silently eliminated, if the player presses the melee button while behind the sleeping guard in the chair; Roach will kick the chair forward, knocking the soldier awake into a small shelf, bash the soldiers head against the shelf and than stab the knife into the soldier's neck.
*If the player has the "Green Beret" intel cheat on, the player will have an ice pick, instead of a knife.
*The ACR's striped camo was removed, leaving the red dot sight and heartbeat sensor with the arctic camo.
*In the remastered version, the player’s footprints can be seen in the snow.
*Soap's EBR now has a thermal sight.
*Unlike in the original, after MacTavish said "The storm's brewing up", Roach will pull down his goggles. He will pull up his goggles just before entering the hangar with Soap
