Supply and Demand (Level)

Supply and Demand is the third level of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. This level is the introduction to Cortez who fights for the Columbian Army on a mission to disrupt a suspected arms deal between the Drug Baron Eduardo Perez and a faction of Makarov’s Ultranationalists. In addition to these two factions Task Force 141 also takes part in the raid in an attempt to discover the fates of Captain MacTavish and John Price and to get even with Makarov

Walkthrough
The level starts with four Columbian Soldiers, Captain Marcellus, Sergeant Catherine Cortez, and Privates Albus and Redueriis on a forested embankment watching two blacked out Jeep Cherokee’s pass them. After the coast is clear they slide down the bank and enter the forest overlooking the Plantation House. From there they covertly thin the guards as they patrol the perimeter and then take up positions as Perez and his Bodyguards exit the house and meet up with the Ultranationalists who are carrying a Laptop and two suitcases of money. The deal seems to go according to plan until one of the Bodyguards is shot dead from the opposite side of the clearing to the Columbian’s location. Believing that the Russians have double crossed him Perez shoots the Laptop Carrying Russian with a Shotgun with the clearing descending into a fire fight between the two factions.

The Columbian Army soon joins in and fight their way into the house to catch Perez only to see him escaping in a Pickup Truck down towards his Plantation. As the Columbian Army begins to take control Cortez hacks into the plantation computers to find that the client list has been downloaded but manages to find a paper copy of the arms shipment details. At the same time Pvt Albus is killed by an unknown sniper and the rest of the team are instructed to take some ATVs and follow Perez.

On the way the team is harassed by Perez's Employees and Ultranationalists with Cpt Marcellus is struck by a round from a Thumper causing him to loose control. Despite his injuries he urges Cortez and Redueriis to continue without him. As they reach the fields Cortez notices ‘unknown hostiles’ entering the field possibly in pursuit of Perez. Following these enemies Cortez and Redueriis push through until they see Perez and his remaining bodyguard under fire from more Ultranationalists. Suddenly the Russians are struck down and Cortez is grabbed from behind only to be saved by Redueriis who is shot by Cortez’s attacker.

As she lies dying Cortez is informed by a mysterious ally that Perez is setting fire to the fields. Dragging Redueriss out of the field Cortez escapes just in time only to be attacked by more of Perez’s men causing her to fall into an irrigation ditch. Crawling through the mud Cortez defeats a few remaining Ultranationalists before Perez comes to execute her. At the last moment a TF-141 soldier arrives and kills Perez before shooting a dart into Cortez’s neck. As she blacks out a second soldier arrives and comments that she will do.

Redueriis: - Two more by that broken Jeep

Albus: - Forth Contact leaning on that tree

An Ultranationalist opens a laptop with a connection to Makerov

Makarov: - Do you have the merchandise?

Perez: - Indeed as soon as you show me the money?

Cortez: - The files are not here Sir, deleted off the hard drive. All we have is some old hard copies

Marcellus: - Those will have to do Sergeant. Albus what’s the situation outside.

Marcellus: - That’s too late Margay One we will head down to the annex building roof and catch Perez, Condor One can you scan for hostiles and advise us as we go

Condor One: - Affirmative Puma One, Condor Out

''The team gets to their feet and jumps from the balcony to the annex building and slips inside to find four quad bikes. Jumping on they head down the dirt path to the fields using Automatic Pistols to thin out enemy contacts. On the way they encounter Ultranationalists and Plantation Workers fighting but continue down to the bottom of the road. As they reach the first field Marcellus is hit by a Thumper round and thrown from his Quad Bike''

Redueriis: - Captain

Marcellus: - Keep going. Cortez keep Redueriis safe and get Perez nothing else matters

Perez: - Kill them

''Gunfire erupts from the surrounding crops killing all the enemies but Perez. A hand grabs Cortez from behind as Redueriis tries to pull her to safety''

Mysterious Assailant: - Let Go

''Shots ring out and Cortez and Redueriis falls to the ground. Cortez sinks several rounds into his attacker.''

Redueriis: - Don’t Leave Me Sarge

Cortez surveys Redueriis wound as gunfire is heard in the distance

Cortez: - Your leg appears to be broken. I am going to call for evac for you.

A flare suddenly can be seen in the sky before descending into the field

Redueriis: - They set off the Flares

Cortez: - I see them

Mysterious Voice: - Come in Puma Two, Perez is starting to burn the fields you have to get out of there

Cortez picks up Redueriis in a fireman’s carry and heads towards the road

Cortez: - Who are you? There is no answer Condor One I need you to analyze radio chatter sent over the team communication relay

Condor One: - No match Puma Two we have no record for any contact

''Cortez reaches the edge of the field but is attacked by Perez’s men slipping into an Irrigation Ditch. Cortez checks Redueriis only to find that he is dead.

Intel
Intel No. 3 (1/3) Located in the Plantation House in the basement on the table next to the Thumper

Intel No. 4 (2/3) Found during the ATV Chase. When you reach the fork in the road go right across the stream towards the fallen tree. Veer Sharp Left and simply drive over the Intel to claim it

Intel No. 5 (3/3) When you drop into the Irrigation Ditch turn round to find the Intel under a big pipe

Achievements
Jungle Cat (15G): - Complete the Level on Recruit, Regular or Hardened difficulties

Recruitment Drive (25G): - Complete Supply and Demand on Veteran Difficulty

Burn it Down (20G): - Escape the burning Cocaine Field in under 90 Seconds

Infiltration
The Jeeps at the beginning of the level simply vanish as soon as they round the bend. When you reach the plantation they reappear with different licence plates

Alerting the enemies at this point will result in the message: Mission Failed – You were detected before you reached the plantation

The woman washing her hands despite being a civilian seems to be carrying a G18 Pistol. Shooting her won’t bring up the ‘You killed a Civillian’ message so it can be presumed that she was intended to be an enemy

The clearing where the four guards are has a rusted jeep in the middle. It has obviously been there for a while but the licence plates show it was only made in 2016

A ZPU-23 can be seen outside the plantation from the ridge yet when you arrive it has vanished

A King Snake can be seen slithering in the bushes and can be shot although it’s death will not get you any achivments

The hidden Snipers use the OpFor Sniper Model

Plantation House
Perez’s sidearm changes from an M1911 to a Desert Eagle after he shoots the Laptop

Makarov’s lips are not moving on the laptop screen when he speaks

Makarov mentions Alejandro Rojas and the fact that he is dead. This is strange because he is shown alive at the beginning of the Modern Warfare 2 level The Hornet's Nest. It is possible that he was killed by the Favela Gang or even by Makarov for supplying information to the TF-141.

Perez drops the SPAS-12 after he shoots the Laptop but it is nowhere to be found

The Plantation House is a re-skined model of the safe house in Loose Ends

The picture of the Russian Girl with the Tommy Gun found in Loose Ends reappears in the Plantation House

A very Rude Parrot can be found in one of the bedrooms. If you enter he will swear at you in Spanish until you leave

When you have to download the information the laughing skull from Independence Day flashes onto the screen followed being told that ‘’You didn’t say the magic word” a reference to Jurassic Park

A UAV can be seen outside just after Albus’ Death. It is possible that it is Condor One

Condor One seems to share the same voice as the Columbian General at the beginning of the level

All three of the Columbian Army Teams are named after South American Cats; The Jaguar, Puma and Margay

ATV Chase
The ATVs used are Yamaha Grizzly 450s which are not used by the Columbian Military. They probably belong to Perez’s men to patrol the fields

A disabled Technical can be seen on the side of the road with an Ultranationalist manning the machine gun. Strangely the gun doesn’t seem to make any noise when fired

After Marcellus dies if you go to where his Quad Bike crashed his body is missing

When you arrive at the site of Perez’s Pickup it seems to have changed colour from blue to green

The Fields
One of Perez’s men can be heard asking, “Did you chase a snake into a cane field when you were younger.” This is a quote from Crocodile Dundee 2 where the bad guys were also Columbian Drug Barons

Occasionally the plants ripple as if someone was moving through them but there will be no-one there

Shooting the TF-141 soldiers (apart from the attacker) will flash a message; Shepherd lied these are the good guys.”

The attacking TF-141 Soldier is called Kane. His name can be seen faintly above his head for a brief second when you pull the trigger

As you pull Redueriis out of the field one of his legs occasionally disappears or will have a plant sticking through it

One of the Plantation Workers at the Irrigation Ditch has the skin of a Brazilian Militia enemies from Modern Warfare 2

A Mi-8 Hip can be seen overhead as you fall into the ditch with Ultranationalist markings. It can be seen again when Huntsman and Onyx capture you in the background beginning to land suggesting it was captured by the TF-141

Ditch Crawl
The players M4A1 (or any other weapon that was picked up) seems to have been lost in the action and has been replaced with the G18 with half an ammo clip

The Ultranationalists in the ditch are harmless as their guns are out of ammo

Perez seems to be bullet resistant

Miscellaneous
Albus is the Spanish for White while Redueriis is Spanish for River

There are several similarities between Supply and Demand and Cliffhanger, both contain a stealth sections, a chase on a vehicle armed with only a G18, a point where you are forced to surrender and a point where you ally rescues you

The level title Supply and Demand references both the Arms deal between Makarov and Perez and the TF-141s need for more operatives after Shepherds Betrayal

This is the first and only Campaign that you play as a faction from South America

The Jungle Cat Achievement may be a reference to the Columbian Army teams being named after Cats or that the players name is Catherine that can be shortened to Cat
