The fire finished him. Sometimes it's too late to save a man. We must move out, before we join him in death.
- The first mission begins with the charming close up sight of a man graphically burning alive while trapped in his own vehicle.
- Woods is found during the first mission of the game lying in a shipping container, heavily fatigued and malnourished, surrounded by the decaying, dead bodies of all his fallen squad mates. Supposedly he had been locked in there for weeks. The whole affair is so horrific that for most of the mission, Woods is completely checked out, on the verge of being entirely catatonic. He kind of snaps out of it at the end but still..."The things I've seen, man..."
- In the second mission "Celerium", it's revealed that Menendez has developed Quantum-entanglement based tech, that is apparently miles better than the US military infrastructure. Considering what Menendez wants, the outcome was bound to be horrifying.
- Josefina Menendez's face. Holy...
◊ - In "Fallen Angel" Lahore is in ruins following a storm, and the general atmosphere is simply horrifying. What should have been one of the largest cities in the world is depicted as practically a ghost town, with the occasional looter, who get gunned down with high prejudice by the Pakistani MQ Drones.
- Speaking of which, the part where Section and Harper hides from one of these drones can be tense. If that drone sees you, you'll be instantly reduced to swiss cheese due to its minigun.
- The terrorist attack on Colossus in "Karma" is quite scary, with the instigator of the attack DeFalco, indiscriminately gunning down everyone in sight and executing hostages for every five seconds Chloe "Karma" Lynch failed to turn herself in.
- The ending of the mission "Suffer With Me" is entirely nightmare fuel and Tear Jerker combined, as 2 beloved Characters die in it (or one, depending on how you play the mission), both of which are horrifying in their own ways.
- Firstly, Alex Mason gets shot by Woods with a sniper rifle, which ends up killing him (or ends up merely incapacitating him if you choose to not shoot him in the head). What makes this one horrifying is that Mason's heard was covered in cloth, and Woods was asked to kill him being tricked into thinking he was Menendez. Woods doesn't take it very lightly when he realises this.
- Later on, Menendez forces a Sadistic Choice between killing Jason Hudson and David Mason. Hudson decides to sacrifice himself to save David. We then get to hear Jason Hudson's agonized cries as Menendez kills him by shooting him in the knees, then slitting his throat.
- Remember Menedez's techonological advantage over the US in "Celerium" ? Yeah, in Odysseus, he manages to hack the US navy with it. What's worse is that he personally invades USS Obama, which is where your hub of operations is.
- "Cordis Die" features a massive Drone Attack on Los Angeles, which ends up being horrifying. You get to see the city falling apart, not to mention the LAPD being brutally overwhelmed by the Cordis Die funded PMCs and the drones hacked by them.
- One example, is an LAPD officer getting his guts torn out after getting gunned down by a CLAW drone.
- Later on, the French President gets his life threatened, and can even die depending on the Player.
- Right after, an entire building falls down on Section, knocking him out.
- In "Judgement Day", Menendez manages to take out all the drone based defence systems in cities around the world, leaving them vulnerable to further terrorist attacks.
- Later on, a dead soldier is found, whose body is revealed to be rigged in explosives, which blow up and take out two American Soldiers.
- This soldier was missing his USMC uniform, and then we learn that Menendez has stolen it to sneak out of the facility and escape.
