How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Task Force 141 storms a clifftop prison near Petropavlovsk, described as a former castle and monastery, to free Prisoner 627. The prison itself is fictional.
The real place
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is the capital of Kamchatka, set on Avacha Bay and ringed by volcanoes. It has no road link to the rest of Russia.
Visiting
The city is reached by air through Yelizovo airport and is the base for volcano and bear-watching trips. Many Western governments currently advise against all travel to Russia.
