* During one of the moments you team up with "Reznov" he states he's breaking away which has Mason tell him to be careful. The Soldier he's crawling with turns around and asks Mason bluntly "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Without the context of TheReveal this looks like he's complaining about the two talking while their sneaking but when you realize it's really just the two of them and Mason is talking with himself it becomes an incredibly disturbing foreshadowing.

** The horror movie-esque music in Mason's half of that level doesn't help.

to:

** The lab where Nova 6 victims are studied is where you see everything that weapon can do. You can see corpses on surgical tables ''with their chests sliced open, showing their near-liquified organs''. And most were dissected ''while they were alive''. And though all the corpses shown in the level were adult males, Kravchenko's aforementioned log indicates ''women and children'' were among those studied. Perhaps Mason would have killed Steiner even if he wasn't brainwashed...

* Really anything with Nova-6 counts. Especially having to fight in a cloud of it. If you take too much damage to the HAZMAT suit your character dies rather messily...

to:

* Really Really, anything with Nova-6 counts. Especially having counts, as its nature as a bioweapon lends it perfectly well to fight in a cloud of it. If scare potential. Just by breathing it in, it rapidly makes your body fall apart, as if it's melting you from the inside out! Dimitri gets a very CruelAndUnusualDeath via Nova-6, as previously mentioned. And later in the campaign, the Russian forces deploy Nova-6 on the island Hudson and company are assaulting, forcing them to don gas masks to avoid being affected. But it's not permanent - taking damage steadily wears away at the hazmat suit's integrity, meaning that even fully regenerating health means nothing if you still take too much damage to the HAZMAT damage. Once your suit your character dies rather messily...is fully compromised, Hudson will make a really nasty gurgling/choking noise as he collapses and succumbs. It's really not pretty.

** Mason remembering the torture he underwent in Vorkuta is already disturbing enough. But Creator/SamWorthington's delivery of the line that he says afterwards is... chillingly realistic.

** FridgeHorror kicks in when you realize this mission took place on November 10, 1963, and you realize that the next mission, Executive Order, was a Presidential Order, and took place on November 17, and involved an assassination attempt, a failed one, on Dragovich, by locating his escaping limousine, and then turning him into a ''charcoal briquette'', as Woods called it. Despite that, Dragovich is still alive and kicking by 1968, and probably would want revenge against the U.S. for the attempt on his life. Guess what happens five days after the latter, on November 22.

* The bits with Mason's SanitySlippage are also quite unsettling. Particularly a hallucination in U.S.D.D, during his meeting with John F. Kennedy, as when he told Mason to sit, there is a small hallucination in which the screens behind him projects the news on his assassination in Dallas, alongside Oswald and Ruby's mugshots, and his mourning wife, Jacqueline, right before everything turns back to normal. And then there is the part where he imagines himself drawing a pistol, and then pointing it at JFK's head, set to a [[HellIsThatNoise loud, ear-splitting screech]], right after JFK mentioned [[BigBad Dragovich]].

* In the multiplayer, one of the killstreak rewards is a napalm strike, which, as would be expected, consists of an F-4 flying by and engulfing the area of your choice in napalm fire. Taking damage from this causes your soldier to audibly scream in agony, just to hammer home how notoriously painful this stuff really was.

* "Payback" is this in droves. Mason, Woods, and Bowman are all captured by the Viet Cong and Spetsnaz, being held captive and tortured for about a week. Bowman is mentally broken beyond repair, and when [[DefiantToTheEnd he acts a bit too defiant against his captors]], a Russian soldier ''bashes his brains in with a pipe''. Seeing the resulting gore and his lifeless face can be a lot to take in. Woods then enters the scene, and is forced to play Russian Roulette in Bowman's place. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness He acts a bit more jumpy than usual]], indicating that [[BreakTheHaughty the situation is able to even scare]] ''Woods'' of all people. When it's his turn to play, he gives a ''massive'' AtomicFBomb as he believes the gun will fire.. but thankfully, he gets an empty chamber.

And there is nothing you can do about it.]]
* There are actually some pretty disturbing sounds in Rebirth and a couple other levels were you see [[spoiler: hallucinations]]of [[spoiler:Viktor Reznov]]. It sounds like a bloody scream from a bigfoot. If you've seen Lost Tapes episode with Bigfoot, you should know what I'm talking about.
** The horror movie-esque music in Mason's half of that level doesn't help.
* Samantha Maxis. A [[CreepyChild creepy child]] that appears to be controlling the Hellhounds (and maybe the zombies) , and [[CuteAndPsycho changes from being sweet to psychotic in seconds]]. The fact that she still might be alive doesn't help.
* The "Revelations" mission was pretty freaky. After you punch out your interrogator, [[spoiler:Hudson]], you stumble through the NSA building that they've been keeping you in. You see the numbers in the air, hear them being spoken over Mason's screams that he keeps ''"HEARING THE FUCKING NUMBERS!"'', hear flashbacks from earlier in the game, and you can hear Mason yelling "Proceed to target" and "Oswald compromised", then you walk into a room and see footage from your escape from Vorkuta while Reznov speaks to you.
* The ship in "Project Nova". We start with the [[SarcasmMode lovely]] sight of a [[JumpScare dead body suddenly entering your field of vision]] as you navigate the dark entrance tunnels. Then you enter the main part of the ship, which has these huge fuck-off V2 rockets which were meant to unleash Nova-6 upon Allied command-and-control centers. [[DissonantSerenity While that's going on, Dragovich and Steiner have this creepy little chat about the weapon, and Dragovich praises Steiner for his "ambition"]]. [[spoiler: It finishes with the gas chambers, where Dragovich orders Dmitri to be gassed because he's [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]]. It would have happened to Reznov, too, if the British didn't show up.]]
