How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The multiplayer map Gibraltar is set on the slopes of the Rock, with British gun positions, tunnels and a road sign reading Gibraltar below the cliff face. Activision named it as one of the real locations recreated for the game's multiplayer.
The real place
The Rock of Gibraltar is a 426 metre limestone ridge at the mouth of the Mediterranean. In the Second World War it was a fortress: the British dug more than 30 km of tunnels inside it, part of which can now be visited, and its harbour and airfield guarded the route between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
Visiting
Take the cable car or a tour up to the Upper Rock nature reserve to see the Great Siege Tunnels and the World War II tunnels. Keep food out of sight: the Barbary macaques will take it. You need a passport to walk across the border from La Línea in Spain.
