The AH-64 Apache appears in the campaign several times but mainly just taking off or flying past, only once firing at the enemy. Apaches are also seen on the ground in "S.S.D.D."
The Apache is one of the 11 kill-streak reward options, as the TF 141 , Rangers or SEALsChopper Gunner, as opposed to an Mi-28 Havoc for the Militia, OpFor and Spetsnaz. In either case, an AI pilot flies the helicopter and the player controls the 30mm chain-gun through a gray-scale thermal imaging camera, like the one on the AC-130 and the Predator Missile.
The Apache is the main ground support helicopter for United States ground combat forces fighting in Europe. It can be notably seen in "Goalpost". It also provides support in "Iron Lady" and "Scorched Earth". In Multiplayer, the Apaches are the helicopters in the Strafe Run killstreak of every faction, even if the "enemy" factions should be using Mi-28s.
The Apache's nose has a shark-mouth decal painted on it.
The AH-64's 30mm chaingun revolves like a minigun. This is likely because the chaingun uses the same animation as the guns on the Harrier, Pave Low, and other gunships in the game.
Call of Duty 4files contains some Apache scripts, indicating a scrapped appearance from the game, including a Woodland/Desert model.[citation needed]
All announcers have voice-acted lines announcing to the player an Apache is waiting for deployment, even the OpFor, Militia, and Spetsnaz.[citation needed]
In the mission Goalpost if the player doesn't destroy the two Havocs while on the gunner on the M1 Abrams, two Apaches come along and destroy them using their rockets. Other Apaches are seen shooting down several Russian helicopters throughout the mission.
Apaches are piloted by two copies of Pelayo from Call of Duty 4, same goes for the Havoc.
A formation of AH-64s can be seen escorting a Pave Low in S.S.D.D.
The Apaches used in the Strafe Run killstreak are missing their landing gear.
