Just realized how similar the sniping mission is to real life.

Scrolldown to number 2 on this list and you will see the city that IW used as inspiration (Probably even the photos were used as inspiration) fo the sniping mission in COD4.
Sorry if you all knew this already but im guessing not everybody does.

I'm pretty sure that level was set around Chernobyl as opposed to being heavily inspired by it.

No he' saying that there's little inspiration, that the level is basically the same.

Indeed. They may have even visited it.

Your wording in the original post - to me at least - seemed as though you were saying that the location in Modern Warfare was fictional, but just heavily inspired by Prypiat - you only coming to this conclusion recently. I just meant that the location was specifically mentioned by name, and was supposed be Prypiat, and not just look like it.

So... the topic is just saying that the Prypiat level, infact looks like Prypiat? Apologies for the misunderstanding. They would need to include and recreate some iconic imagery in the level when designing it, and they nailed it.

@Pie: The recreation of Prypiat was pretty damn accurate though the sniping part is a joke.

While not completely relevant, I feel a sudden urge to go check out places 9 & 5 since I live in the same country. :)

Yeah. It was pretty cool. Especially how the last bit was set near the most memorable landmark. Although STALKER did a better job, imo(hell, CoP is going to recreate the Pripyat region on a 1:1 scale)

Ive been reading this site for two days now. They have some really intersting lists on it.@CharlieTuna said:

Read their top mysteries series, its the most intersting lists on the site in my opinion.@atejas said:

This is pretty old news, but cool nonetheless. When you are sniping Zakhaev, you can see the nuclear power plant where the explosion occured that caused the Chernobyl disaster.

You can actually see it multiple times throughout All Ghillied Up I believe. Most of those two missions are real. Heck, remember the large pool with the dogs in it right before the ferris wheel? That's actually there, and the go karts.
