"Deep behind enemy lines, an allied flight crew helplessly awaits their fate at a nearby crash site. Pairing up a soldier on the ground and a helicopter gunner equipped with care packages, the Special Ops mission objective is to overcome the enemy resistance and rescue the allied crew."
Special Delivery is the final downloadable Special Ops Mission Mode challenge in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, it is part of Content Pack 8, which was released to Xbox 360 Elite Premium Members on August 7, 2012.[1] The reasoning behind this mission is that it "merges mechanics from Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer mode to create an entirely new experience." One player is on the ground and fights against Ultranationalists, Juggernauts and Dogs, while the other player controls a V-22 Osprey to provide air support and drop Care Packages for the player on the ground to help him out, such as dropping in an XM25, Self Revives, and Sentry Guns.
This is the second Special Ops mission to have Care Packages, the first being Vertigo.
The Osprey's HUD is reused from the HUD of a Reaper in Multiplayer.
The Osprey Co-pilot has 2 sets of quotes, exclusively created ones, and the other set is reused from the Task Force 141 multiplayer announcer from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
