Horses appear in Call of Duty: Black Ops II in the missions Old Wounds, Time and Fate and I.E.D., used as transport. The player can ride horses in Old Wounds. It is possible to use whatever weapons the player is carrying while on horseback. They can also gallop faster if they press the "sprint" button when on the horse, though it is not possible to have a weapon out whilst galloping. Sprinting at both friendly and hostile NPCs will instantly kill them.
Horses also appear in Call of Duty: WWII, where two mangled horses can be found in the Axis Spawn Area of the multiplayer map Carentan .
