8 Video Games With Cut Content That Would've Been Awesome

3. The Cobra Pilot (And Other Missions) - Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Modern Warfare's story mode was, like other Call of Duty campaigns, short but sweet. You can guarantee that all CoD campaigns will clock in somewhere around the four-six hour mark, with the main focus of development having been on multiplayer pretty much since the release of the first Modern Warfare in 2007.

Still, that doesn't mean that Infinity Ward, Treyarch or whoever else is developing the next CoD go in with a fixed set of missions that absolutely must be included. Cut content is actually really frequent, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in Call of Duty 4.

Infinity Ward's revolutionary FPS featured a campaign unlike any we'd really seen before, leaving World War II behind and instead whisking players away to the murky and frighteningly advanced combat scenarios of the modern day.

Players will recall one of the standout missions involving an AC-130 gunship, but that wasn't originally going to be the only vehicle that you'd get to control. In actual fact, one of the several cut missions from the game involved you piloting a Cobra attack chopper, and would've assumedly tied into the sequence where Sgt. Paul Jackson rescues the downed pilot shortly before the nuclear detonation.
