History NightmareFuel / CallOfDutyGhosts

* [[spoiler:Baker and Mosley's death]], specially for those who suffer of acrophobia. After destroying the satelite and causing it to fall into the Earth's atmosphere, they are unfortunately dragged along with it towards the planet. [[spoiler:Mosley's]] last words are him acknowledging that they lost communication with MissionControl and the two proceed to burn up as they fall into the Earth. Truly an astronaut's worst nightmare.

* Possibly the biggest point of nightmarefuel is that because of the game's poor reception the sequel was canceled which leaves us with possibly one of if not the biggest cliffhangers in Call Of Duty History. Not only do we not get to learn the fate of Logan or if the Ghost actually manage to defeat the federation but Many players who actually enjoyed its story will be left Disappointed

** Scouts are the weakest, and rely on ZergRush tactics. This is problematic in that each one is about as big as you are. [[OhCrap You may face as many as a dozen at one time,]] ''[[UpToEleven alongside other, more dangerous types]]''.

** The new DLC pack "Onslaught" contains a new extinction map called "Nightfall". The setting is alot more eerie and they've included two new creatures. The first one is the Phantom that has the ability to turn invisible. The second creature, however is even worse as it's a giant creature called the "Breeder" which is even worse than the rhinos. And the best thing? This is part of a five episode pack so expect even more alien horror!
** Second DLC pack "Devastation" provides a new Extinction map called "Mayday". Taking place on a military destroyer ransacked by Cryptids in the Tasman Sea. Like with Nightfall, a new Cryptid is introduced that spits out turrets as well as acid that can melt through your armor in seconds especially on Hardcore difficulty. If you thought Nightfall was creepy, wait till you experience ''this one''.

** Wonder what took Cross? After breaching the room to investigate Cross' whereabouts, CIF 1 navigates down onto Stormbreaker's deck outside to encounter Kraken, a huge aquatic Cryptid with several tentacles and an unsettling appearance. Did we mention that it can disable your abilites with its roar and whack you to near-death?

* The environment is covered in AlienKudzu, and you will have to use a drill to remove large chunks of it. The sign reading "SEND HELP" really drives home the point that shit has hit the fan.

* ' In order to get to Cross and [[DecapitationRequired remove her head safely]], CIF 1 is instructed to flood the room Cross is kept in with ''chlorine gas''. What's creepy about this is that Cross is ''awake during this'' [[AndImustScream and unable to do anything as the laboratory is filled with gas]]. Though before she asphyxiates, something grabs her along with the Beacon Amplifier as she screams in terror.

** Dr. Kassar's death at the hands of Cross. She feeds him to the Cryptids and watches as [[CruelAndUnusualDeath he screams while being devoured by the Cryptids.]] Her last threat said to him especially brings home the pure hatred and distrust Cross has for Nightfall affiliates:
->'''Dr. Samantha Cross:''' "How much time do you think you have before you're on your knees, begging me to let you die?"

** By collecting several pieces of intel, it is revealed what exactly happened on the ship; After the mess at the Nightfall facility, David Archer gathered the leftover Nightfall personnel on Stormbreaker and established a lab there. He also imprisoned paleontologist [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Dr. Samantha Cross]] into a [[Mind-ControlDevice Beacon Amplifier]], that would allow Archer to discover the location of the next Ark. Due to a mimetic virus afflicting Cross' brain from the first [[ArtifactDomination Ark]], it started to [[DrivenToMadness affect the entire crew of the ship to the point that one crew member attempted to kill Cross]]. Afterwards Cross had enough of psychological evaluations done by Dr. Kassar and her captivity, and released the Cryptids onto the Stormbreaker. In addition to the alien mooks, she brought in a [[KrakenAndLeviathan guardian]] that protects the next Ark.

** Even worse, at various points you will need to call in a ''helicopter'' to remove large, obstructive "Barrier Hives".
** The fan-made [[https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsq-9rAKYAYuWk_J2xTka3e7MxiNr605h Extinction album]] by Benn Down is either this, TearJerker, or both. The first song, [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLsq-9rAKYAYuWk_J2xTka3e7MxiNr605h&v=ylagIcK2JYE Unstoppable]], is a very upbeat song from the perspective of the humans, saying that they'll be able to win against the alien horde, and stuff. By the end, though...just listen to the [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLsq-9rAKYAYuWk_J2xTka3e7MxiNr605h&v=oaJhvJNUhNU last song]]...

** Heading into this game mode and hearing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ik79J33F9A this]]. In the Extinction menu, you're treated to a [[http://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/call-of-duty-2013/thumb/9/98/Extinctionfront.jpg/460px-Extinctionfront.jpg simply wonderful close-up]] of an enemy's face.
** The monsters themselves. The creatures in this mode make the zombies in Zombie Mode like a fluffy creature. Each creature offers their own unique brand of NightmareFuel:
** The smallest ones are the weakest, and rely on ZergRush tactics. This is problematic in that each one is about as big as you are. [[OhCrap You may face as many as a dozen at one time,]] ''[[UpToEleven alongside other, more dangerous types]]''.

** [[ActionBomb Meteors.]] They're deployed from a rock that falls from the sky, [[ParanoiaFuel meaning they can spawn anywhere, at any time.]] They explode when they get close, and are completely silent.
** [[BossInMooksClothing Rhinos.]] You will learn to hate and fear the distinctive appearance of a Rhino, as it's melee attacks are peerless. One Rhino can easily take down a four-man team of well-equipped players, if they are not careful. Lord help you if you find more than one at a time.

** The Stormbreaker. Practically [[GhostShip abandoned by the time you arrive there, it is devoid of any personnel]] other than David Archer (and even he is untrustworthy despite his co-operation with CIF 1.) No corpses, no sign of any conflict; just the aftermath and the Cryptids that caused the ship go derelict in the first place. Atleast we know where the name of the map comes from.

And the best thing? This is part of a five episode pack so expect even more alien horror!

* At one point during the campaign, you end up swimming through a school of sharks while trying to evade the Feds. So get too close to one, and you're fish food. More often than not, you won't even see one until it's jaws are around your belly, by which time, you can't escape...
* The introductory cutscene to "The Hunted". Showing Rorke in a hole, as black crystals erupt from his body... showing how he was changed from Ghost, to Ghost Killer.
* During the mission "Clockwork", you infiltrate a Federation base while wearing enemy uniforms. When the power cuts out, you immediately start shooting your way through and finally infiltrate a computer data center where a gigantic fight ensues. Upon escaping the battle, the Ghosts begin pretending they're injured Federation soldiers, and the trick works. As you exit the facility, you see numerous wounded enemies being treated by medics and dead bodies covered up: corpses that you created. It helps to humanize the Federation soldiers and really hammers home the damage that ''you'' just did.

* [[spoiler:Baker and Mosley's death]], specially for those who suffer of acrophobia. After destroying the sattelite and causing it to fall into the Earth's atmosphere, they are unfortunately dragged along with it towards the planet. [[spoiler:Mosley's]] last words are him acknowledging that they lost communication with MissionControl and the two proceed to burn up as they fall into the Earth. Truly an astronaut's worst nightmare.

* In "Homecoming", you search for Elias in a burning building, and when you go upstairs, a massive soldier with a gas mask will ambush you, pin you down to the floor and stab you. Hesh comes just as he is about to kill you and shots him.
