Modern Warfare 2: Game Space

The level played took place on a bridge that looked very similar to the Golden Gate in San Francisco. The player spawns in the middle of the bridge with the goal being to get to another point further down the bridge. There is no option to jump off the side of the bridge or go in the opposite direction. As you progress through the level, there are abandoned cars scattered around to be used as cover if need be. Once you get halfway towards the goal, the bridge shakes and the portion you’re on is showing signs of structural fatigue as if the whole thing is to collapse soon. As you climb your way into the second half of the level, you can see the green smoke marking the goal point, and an attack helicopter flying beside the bridge shooting at you.

Since you play as a marine, you’re shooting Russian troops, and the bridge your on looks like the Golden Gate Bridge (at least in my opinion), the level presumably takes place in the states. However, this is not confirmed. They made the bridge look the way it did to bring a heightened sense of realism to the game in order to pull you further into the game and further enhance your experience.
