First Level Modern Warfare 2 Guide to Single Player S.S.D.D

Hope you Enjoy this Modern Warfare 2 guide to single player! The game starts with you giving a demonstration to some local soldiers on the art of shooting. Pick up your gun from the table and turn around to face the target range. You are told to demonstrate shooting from the hip first so take down all of the targets without using your sight to aim, once all targets are down its time to hit the targets with a bit more accuracy. Change to a crouched position and now take out all the targets, aiming with the sight of your gun. Once that is done you have a short run through of quickly changing targets and shooting enemies through wooden surfaces before finally demonstrating your grenades attacking capability by tossing one into the middle of the targets.

Now turn around and follow the objective indicator (the white marker on the screen) to the Pit. When you get to the Pit pick up your pistol from the table, switch between weapons and enter the timed assault course to the left. Once the timer has started keep yourself moving forward as quickly as possible but make sure that you take out the enemy targets as they pop up – if you miss any or hit any civilian targets you will get a time penalty at the end. When your rifle runs empty, switch to your pistol, also you need to use your knife to take out the target at the top of the stairs in the building. Drop back down onto the course, take out the remaining enemy targets and sprint down the path to the end of the run.

Once you have completed the course, you will be given your time and also a recommendation of what difficulty level to play the game on. You can now either have another go of running the course to try and cut your time or you can go and join the rest of your squad at the jeep and get going into the real battlefield.

Modern Warfare 2 Online Strategy Guide to Team Player

Grab yourself a decent spot with good cover that you can crouch behind, take out any soldiers across the river that you can and then fire off a few rounds with your grenade launcher, if your taking too many hits just drop to the floor or get fully behind your cover until your health regenerates. Listen out for the shout that there are enemies at the end of the bridge to the left of the screen and then take them out either with your rifle or, for extra carnage, your grenade launcher. When you have killed this group of soldiers, follow your squad up the stairs and then hop into the Humvee indicated.

An air strike is called in on the tall building to the right, watch that fall and get ready for a rough ride through some tight streets. As your Humvee moves into the city, keep an eye out for enemy targets and take out any that come out, the further you get, the more intense their firing becomes so you need to be on your toes. Take out any enemies with RPG's or those on the rooftops first as they are your biggest threat. On the harder difficulties, you may find yourself being killed quite a few times, we would suggest to keep yourself facing forward as much as possible because if you start turning to take out targets you will end up ignoring the greater danger in front of you.

When your vehicle gets flipped over, get inside the building to the right asap. Once inside move to the stairs, there should be one enemy who starts to come down, kill him and then slowly make your way upstairs and eliminate the remaining targets up there. Make your way through the rooms until you are at a window where you can see the school you drove past earlier (with the RPG's on the roof), your squad will start to move towards the school, follow them over, taking out any enemies in the schoolyard area.

Inside the school, pop off with your grenade launcher down the hallway, clear any remaining enemies in the hall with your rifle and also take out the couple in the classroom before moving upstairs. Kill the two guards at the end of the hall and move on, round the corner are more guards, take them out and then watch out as there will be a few that come rushing into the room. Keep moving on and clear out another hallway, once done, make your way back to the streets with the rest of your squad (follow the white objective marker if ever in doubt). Follow your squad down the alley and watch out again as more soldiers will come rushing out, take them all down and push on, be careful as you approach an open building on the left as there is another soldier waiting in there. Kill him and then move through the building, throw a flash bang down the alley to the left and eliminate the two soldiers down there, now just follow the white marker until you reach General Shepherd and finish the mission. This Modern Warfare 2 online strategy guide should give you some good pointers.

Modern Warfare 2 Strategy Guide to Cliffhanger

Follow MacTavish along the ice ledge and then take out your ice axes and follow him up the face of the mountain, alternating your left and right ice axes to pull yourself up but make sure one axe is in the ice before trying to plant the other, if not you've got a long fall! Once at the top He will take a running jump across a gap, follow him over but once across you need to do the same actions as when climbing to stop you from falling again.

At the top of the slope, haul yourself up the two ledges that MacTavish goes up and then follow his instructions by equipping your heartbeat monitor. Enemies will show up as a white dot on the radar and allies will be blue. Keep going forward until you spot two enemies up ahead and then follow the instructions to take out the guy on the left on the captains count, move further along and then its same again with another two. As you approach the enemy base your buddy will move off to the higher ground on the right to provide you with some sniper support.

When you reach the base find yourself some cover as there will be a couple of guards that come out, MacTavish will take them out with his sniper. Move into the building where you will find a guard asleep on a chair, kill him (knifing him is much more satisfying plus gets you a trophy). Move out of the building and keep to the left hand side of the perimeter fence. Get into cover as your captain tells you there is a vehicle coming. Once the vehicle has passed keep moving round to the left sticking as close to the fence as you can, keep an eye on your heartbeat monitor as there are a couple of guards patrolling, MacTavish will take them out but you can if you want, just don’t let them raise an alarm. Your leader will warn you that there is a group of soldiers on the runway, as long as you stick to the edge and watch your heartbeat monitor they wont spot you, now just follow the marker to the fueling station and plant the C4. Talking of C4 one of the top pro’s has some interesting tactics to use with C4 as a team whenever you play Modern Warfare 2 tournaments, info coming in November.

After setting the C4 in place, your objective marker will move to show the way to the satellite. We found that the best way was straight across the middle of the runway, you can dodge between the planes and just keep an eye on your heartbeat monitor. Listen to MacTavish as he warns you about a patrol vehicle (you can see its headlights through the snow), keep out of its path and get to the building in the middle (about halfway to the marker). Once at the building check your heartbeat monitor as there will be a patrol of soldiers, wait until they have walked away and then it should be clear for you to sprint to the objective, your team leader is round the back of the building.

Follow Soap into the building, he'll kill a guard and start working on the satellite, move upstairs where you will find your Intel pick up at the back of the room. Once you have picked it up you will hear that MacTavish has been found by the enemy, he tells you to keep a low profile so crouch and move to near the top of the stairs you just came up. You will then hear him tell you its time for plan B – let the fireworks begin by detonating the C4 that you planted, once the explosion goes off, stand up and take out the men beneath you.

After eliminating the men who had surrounded MacTavish, its time to make your escape. Go right out of the hangar and he will lead the way, take out the soldiers directly around you but concentrate on pushing forward, take cover if you need to let your health regenerate. Follow him as he slides down a slope, when at the bottom there should be another four soldiers that appear at the top so turn around and kill them. There will now be enemies on snowmobiles coming at you, take them all out and then its time for a little ride. Jump onto the snowmobile and start making your way towards your marker, there will be a lot of enemies about as you move on and you can still shoot so whenever anyone is in front of you start popping your bullets off. Keep your eyes mainly on where you are going though as there are more than enough obstacles that you can end up smashing into and if you hit them hard enough you will die. When the helicopter comes it is fairly easy to dodge its bullets so just keep going as fast as you can, the final straight is the big downhill bit, there are a lot of trees and you will be going fast at this point so you need some nifty manoeuvres to get yourself through. Once through the trees you have just got a big jump to make and then that’s level complete.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to one of the Most Controversial Game Levels in History!

Please note that this mission can be skipped due to the nature of its content, if you have chosen to skip it then you don’t actually miss out on anything other than a small part of the story.

As you enter the airport, Makarov and his men will open fire on all of the civilians, it is entirely up to you whether or not you do the same, we personally chose to take out as many as we could – it is only a game after all! Keep following Makarov as he makes his way through the terminal, security guards will pop out every now and again so kill them as well if you want to.

Once outside, its time for the real resistance as you are faced with a row of police officers with riot shields. Time for your grenade launcher to make an appearance, fire off a round or two at the officers, that should be enough to take care of them but if you are getting hit then make sure to duck behind some cover. After taking care of the first group of officers, move forward and you can pick up a riot shield if you want but if not just get yourself to cover as the next group of officers arrive. Another few rounds with your launcher should take care of anyone that appears.

Once cleared push forward again and keep your eye on the walkway as officers will appear above you. As usual get yourself a decent spot with some cover as you take care of the men and if you are taking too many hits, get yourself fully concealed. A flash bang or two will always help you and give you a couple of seconds if needed, just make sure you don’t get yourself with it as well. When the riot van comes, another round with the launcher should clear the people coming out of it, finish off any survivors and push forward. Another riot van will come so its same again with your launcher or, if you don’t have any left a normal grenade will do. Once this group have been dealt with just follow Makarov to the van with someone waiting in the back for you.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission Takedown

You start the level riding in a car, as the car pulls up you will see the men who get out of the car in front of you get shot by the man they approach, when this happens crouch down before you get shot as well. Once out of the car the chase is on, keep running after him until you have a clear shot ahead, when you do you need to be quick and shoot him in the legs.

Follow your squad as they move on, you will reach a fence looking down on a group of civilians, jump down and get yourself into the building straight ahead. There will be quite a few enemies that start to come at this point and they don’t always come from the same places at the same time so we suggest that you utilize everything available to you. Flash bangs are greatly underrated, something we will cover in our Modern Warfare 2 guide, and can come in very handy for this section. When you are in the building there will be a couple of enemies in the next building across, take them out and then check out the back where you first jumped down as some will come there. After taking care of these few, there will be a lot more coming so you need to just keep your wits about you. Don’t move out into open space until you are sure that there is nobody waiting but also try to keep pushing forward through the tight alleys and buildings towards the objective marker which is in the far right corner of the shanty town. Keep an eye on the rooftops as there will be people shooting you from there as well as popping their guns around doors with a bit of blind fire.

When you finally make you way through the alleyways to the marker you will see a set of stairs on the right, head up the stairs and a dog will run to the fence on your right, shoot that before getting into a bit of cover as enemies start shooting from the rooftops. Eliminate their threat and push on but remember to check your corners as there will be some people waiting for you around some of them, another dog will also come so shoot that as well but if you don’t, don’t worry, it will jump on you but you can then break its neck by using your melee button. Stick to the left hand wall and you will arrive at another set of stairs, move up them and an enemy will appear at a window, take him out before you reach the top. At the top of the stairs you need to turn left but first you need to kill the people waiting for you down the alley, there will be another one in a window so take him first before dealing with the others. Now push forward and get yourself into the building on the left, this provides you with both a good place to kill the people ahead of you but also great cover as well. Once in the building, your priority is to take out the people high up on a ledge and the rooftops, when cleared move back into the alley and move on but keep an eye out as there will be more people that will come out including a few that run out from the rooftops.

As you go on you will see a staircase to the left and a green shutter, the shutters will burst open with an enemy behind them so kill him and then move up the stairs on the left. There may be another enemy at the top of the stairs depending on whether they have ran out or not, if so deal with him and then move to the end of the building to the right. As you move out from this corner there will be a few people ahead, one at the door on the raised section to the right, one at the window to the left and also some will come to the edge of the building just to the left of the window. A round with your grenade launcher towards the left of the window will deal with the people down there and the ones at the door and window are simple enough to shoot. Remember to keep a check on your ammo, during this level as there are a lot of people to deal with, if you are running low then switch weapons by picking up one of the guns left behind by the dead guys.

Get yourself to where the enemies where at the left of the window, there will be a few people appear round this corner, throw a flash bang and then shoot the explosive red barrel ahead. Use the flash bang and the explosion to take advantage while the enemies are disorientated, killing them all and making sure that the two buildings are completely cleared. Now get moving to the corner on the left, as you turn this there will be people appearing on the rooftops, get yourself up the stairs and into the building ASAP. Again this building provides both cover and a good place to shoot from, kill as many people as you can from inside the cover of the building and then move out of the back where you will find a ladder. There will be more enemies on the roof that the ladder leads to, throw up a flash bang if you have any left and get up the ladder to kill them while still feeling the effects of the flash. There are another set of green shutters on the wall of the rooftop, these again have another person behind them so take him out when you get the chance before moving around to tackle yet more rooftop enemies.

Follow the marker until you reach another set of stairs, move up them, ready to deal with the people waiting for you, watch out for any people in the buildings and once all have been killed in this area get yourself to the marker. As you approach you will hear Ghost saying that Rojas is going to get away – not this time, watch as he comes flying out of a building and lands on the green car quickly surrounded by you and your squad. We hope you are enjoying this first installment of our Modern Warfare 2 Guide to the single player aspect of the game.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission Wolverines

The war has moved to American soil now! When your out of your transport, follow the rest of your squad as they move into an alley, keeping your eye out for the enemy soldiers dotted about. Keep following and you will eventually see an armoured vehicle moving along the streets, let it move past and then follow Foley as he moves into cover. He will then tell you to use your smoke grenades, land one near the armoured vehicle and once the smoke has given you a good enough veil its time to get on your toes. Run over to the right and down the alley, once in the alley take out the enemies ahead but also watch out as there may be a couple that come from behind you.

As you move through the alley more people will appear in the petrol station ahead of you, take them down remembering to use your grenades, flashbangs and to get yourself some good cover if needed. Once cleared move forward and look out for the soldiers in the building to the left, after you have taken care of everyone in this area follow Foley and he will tell you to get onto the roof of the restaurant in front of you. Get onto the roof by going up the ladder found in the kitchen of the restaurant and prepare yourself for an onslaught of enemy soldiers that are about to come.

When you are on the rooftop, grab the claymores and the rifle with the thermal scope, place claymores at the top of the ladders that lead upto the roof as there will be people climbing up to attack you. You can also reposition the sentry gun that is up there, move it if you want to – anywhere with a clear view of the people coming at you will do. With the claymores and sentry gun set, get into position and use your thermal scope to take down as many of the oncoming soldiers as you can. Make sure you listen to the rest of your squad - if any enemy soldiers make it onto the roof they will shout about it, when this happens switch guns and take kill them asap, if the claymores have been triggered plant more quickly and then get back to using your thermal scope.

After a couple of waves of enemy soldiers, they will start coming from the opposite direction so you need to reposition your sentry gun over at the other side of the roof. You may as well take the opportunity to re-stock your ammunition at this point by going to the supply crate. Now its same again, using your thermal scope to eliminate anyone you can remembering to listen out for any that make it onto the roof. The oncoming soldiers will use smoke grenades of their own to give them a screen but you can still use your thermals to take them out. Eventually they will stop coming and Foley tells you to come back down from the roof.

Once down from the roof your next objective is to retrieve the Predator (Remote missile) control rig from a building across from the restaurant. Theres no point trying to battle your way across the street as even on Veteran it is fairly easy to get across just by running, as long as you stick to the right hand side you should get across without too much bother. When you have clear site of the diner the Predator is in, eliminate the soldiers inside and then run in and pick up the Predator control. When you have the control get into a good cover spot inside the building and now its time to wreak some havoc with your new best friend. When you are using the Predator the screen changes to a camera on the missile that you fire, enemy targets show up with red squares and you need to take out the armoured vehicles that have turned up. Once the two vehicles are destroyed, head back over to the restaurant you were at before, on your way over it will get destroyed so time for a re-think, your marker changes to the Burger Town building instead so make your way over there.

Watch out for the enemy soldiers in and around Burger Town, kill them and get yourself inside, Foley will now arrive with the Raptor. Now its time for more Predator missiles, each time you hear that the missile is online, use it to take out large groups of the oncoming soldiers. In between your Predator shots, use your thermal scope again to clear as many enemies as possible, take cover again if you find yourself getting hit.

An enemy helicopter will soon be on its way, Foley tells you to grab the rocket launcher in the building to the West. Again the easiest way to get to it is to sprint as quick as you can, this time going the left hand side to keep away from the enemies. Once you have the launcher, take aim at the helicopter, you will hear it lock on, fire and watch the fireworks as it comes crashing down. Another helicopter now arrives and Foley tells you that there were more rockets on the roof of Nates (the roof you were on earlier). Make your way there, again sprinting over to avoid getting shot, get onto the roof and get the other rockets and get that second helicopter blown out of the sky. Once this one is down, its time to get out of there, your escape vehicles will arrive and you need to get yourself to them. Make your way over but stick to the edge as much as you can as there are still a lot of enemies in the area, when you get the chance, sprint over to the waiting trucks.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission The Hornets Nest

Follow the rest of your squadas they move forward up the hill and around the building. Once around the building take care of the soldiers ahead, shooting the red barrels will give you a bit of help here. Once cleared move into the hut to the right and then kill the people in the building just across from there. When the people in the building are eliminated move into it and use it for cover as you take out the soldiers you can see through the windows and doors.

MacTavish will tell you to push forward so follow him as he moves on, turning left and dealing with the enemies in front of you. As you move into a clearing get yourself moving down the left hand side and you will reach a staircase. Move up the stairs and target the soldiers that you can now see ahead, remember to use the available cover if you need to. Move on around the corner, taking care of the soldiers before you, remember to utilize your flashbangs, frags and use cover when needed. As you eliminate more enemy threats keep moving forward up the street. At the top of the street you will be going left, however, we suggest going down the alley just before the top of the hill. Move into the alley and watch out for a few soldiers down there. Follow the alley to the right, again killing the soldiers waiting, once the alley is clear move up along the left side.

You are now looking at the street you would have turned onto at the top of the hill but you have flanked some of their men. Stick to the left wall of the alley and eliminate the soldiers to the right of the street and directly ahead of you first. After clearing them, now look around the left corner at the remaining soldiers down the street, take out the guy on the truck with the big gun first before killing the rest.

When the street is clear move to the end, the market place to the left is where you are next headed. Get yourself some cover to deal with the first few people and then move into the market. Stick to the left of the market as more people move to attack you, keep moving towards your target remembering to check your corners as you proceed. Your target leads you through a building where you can then see your escape helicopter. However, it cant land here so it has to move, meaning so do you! Eliminate the hostiles that appear around you and follow your squad as they haul themselves over a wall. Once over the wall, follow the route of MacTavish as he moves across the rooftops. You will fall to the ground as you attempt the final jump, dont worry this is meant ot happen.

As soon as you get up from the floor you need to get moving as quick as you can. Sprint into the building ahead and get up to the roof, once there keep sprinting towards your marker. Dont worry about getting shot, as long as you keep moving you should be fine. You will drop down a ledge, take a right turn and the helicopter is not far off, now you just need to make a running jump to safety.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission Exodus

Its back to the streets of America for this level, only this time youve got back up in the form of a tank. You can select targets for the tank to shoot at using the laser in your equipment.

Keep to the right and move forward through the houses and gardens. Use the laser target as much as possible to help you out on this level. Deal with the enemies in each house as you move along the right hand side, you will eventually see a checkpoint ahead of you with a large number of enemy soldiers. Clear most of them by targeting with the tank and move over to the building on the left. Kill any guards left inside and then move forward past the checkpoint once all enemies are cleared. You will be moving across a bridge now, keep the tank firing at your selected targets and stick to the right hand side grabbing cover whenever you can/need to. You need to move through the house on the right with the open garage, there are quite a few enemies in there so be careful as you proceed.

When you make it through the house and are back outside you have two enemy vehicles that need to be destroyed. Its time to use your targeting laser again on both vehicles, this time initiating a bomb drop on them. With both vehicles destroyed follow the trail towards the marker where you will find a house engulfed in flames. Move into the house and up the stairs towards the panic room where you will find a dead body with a briefcase next to it, pick up the briefcase and its level complete. The next installment to this Modern Warfare 2 guide will follow shortly!

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission The only easy day......was yesterday

You start this level underwater on your way to a rig off the coast of America. When you surface, swim behind the guard and use your melee attack to kill him your teammate does the same with the other.

Pull yourself out of the water and youre told its suppressed (silenced) weapons only to be used, follow everyone up the stairs and take out the guard. You have to rescue the hostages on the rig and they are held in a few separate locations, the first you are about to reach. When you arrive, there are two entrances you can breach we found the nearest one the best. Plant the charge on the door – when it goes off you will spill into the room and everything is slowed down for a few seconds. Use the slow motion to eliminate all hostiles in the room but make sure you dont kill any hostages! After clearing this room, follow your squad upstairs to another room, again choose to breach the closest door and do the same during the slo-mo by killing the enemies but be careful of the hostages.

When you have eliminated all threats in the second room its time to lay a trap – plant C4 on the body indicated and then follow MacTavish out of the room and up to the vantage point on the platform. You will see a group of soldiers make their way to the room with the C4 in, wait for MacTavish to say to do it” and then detonate the C4, killing some of the guards. Now shoot the remaining guards before dropping down from the platform and moving forward. Take out anyone that comes in front and as usual, use the available cover if you are taking a lot of damage. Eliminate the targets on the stairs and then move up them, there will be quite a few enemies that appear now so get yourself into the building on the right. This provides you with some good cover so use it when needed and kill the guards as they come into sight.

An attack helicopter soon arrives but you are safe while in the building so make sure you have taken care of all the soldiers in there before worrying about the chopper. When you have cleared the soldiers, pick up the rocket launcher that you can find at the top end of the room to blow the helicopter out of the sky – go outside and when you have a target lock-on fire away.

After destroying the chopper push on towards your next marker, again use any available cover when necessary to help you eliminate all threats. You will reach another staircase and you need to head up there and be prepared for a tough section. When you are on the top deck the enemy will have released smoke grenades and they are equipped with thermal scopes – lucky for you there are plenty of weapons lying about next to crates that have thermal scopes equipped so pick one up. Now to pick your spot, we found the best place was to the left there is a squared out section just past a fence that we got settled in. When you are there, you need to peek out from the corner you just came around to take care of the soldiers that are moving to your position. You also need to peek out down the left hand side, a path leads along the edge of the rig and there are guards ahead so you need to deal with them as well. When all guards on your level have been killed you need to take care of the ones at the upper windows situated directly opposite the stairs you came up.

Once all threats have been dealt with, you have one more room full of hostages to breach, we chose the door to the far left to do this. Same thing applies here, when the breach goes off, utilize the slo-mo to kill all of the guards within the room. As well as making sure you dont kill any hostages, you also need to make sure you dont hit any of the explosives in the room. With all hostiles taken care of, follow the rest of your squad as they make their way to the waiting helicopter to get you out of there.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission The Gulag

This level starts with you in a helicopter approaching 'The Gulag', as you get near, use your sniper to take out any enemies that you can on the rooftops. Once off the chopper follow the rest of your squad and eliminate the soldiers on the ledge above, use the cover available if needed. Now move forward, following your squad into cover as your support chopper clears the rooftop ahead.

With the roof cleared by the helicopter, head into the building ahead through the broken window. You have again now flanked some of the enemy, shoot them through the window to the left and clear the rest of the area. Now follow your squad again, kill the couple of guards who come up the stairs and then make your way down them. At the bottom of the stairs, kill the soldiers in the control room and push through and down a set of stairs.

You are now on a circular walkway where the jail cells are situated. You need to move round the walkway to the right, there are quite a few enemy soldiers here so proceed with caution. Use your grenade launcher if needed to clear out the enemies ahead, you can even fire it way across to kill people not yet directly in front of you. Once you have made your way round the wlakway, get down the stairs with the rest of your squad and you find yourself in the prison armoury. The doors now lock, trapping you inside, you will be surrounded soon by enemy soldiers so you need to pick up a riot shield to get some protection. We chose to ride this section out rather than trying to kill anyone get yourself either with your back against a wall or back to back with a team mate until your squad manage to get the door back open.

When the door finally opens move out with the riot shield still equipped, melee attack the soldiers at the end of the short walkway. Now swap the shield for one of their dropped guns and take out the rest of the soldiers as you move around the circular walkway. When you reach the end of the walkway, you need to rappel down, once at the bottom equip your night-vision goggles and carry on forward.

Keep on your guard through the darkened section, eliminating all targets that appear. You will soon get back to a lighted area so take off the goggles and keep moving until you arrive at a pipe filled room. There are a few targets in here so take care of them as you move through. Around the corner at the end of the corridor you go down are a small group of soldiers, throw a flashbang or grenade (if you have any left) around the corner before clearing up with your gun.

Next up is another breaching job, place the charge on the wall and, same as before, when it goes off use the slow motion to kill as many guards as possible. This section can be quite tough on the harder difficulties, after the slo-mo finishes move back into the corridor you came from to assess whats ahead. There will be enemies on the walkways above the shower room to the left and right you can spot them as they have laser targets on their guns, take care of these first before eliminating any left on your level. When you move forward, a group will come with riot shields and more on the upper walkway. Throw a grenade behind the ones with riot shields before switching attention again to the upper levels. When you have cleared the upper level you need to make sure the rest are dealt with. If any with riot shields remain either get another grenade behind them or move back slightly and when they come forward flank them to get past the shield. When the room is cleared, head on through and drop down the hole in the floor and into the sewer.

Get ready to meet a long lost friend, the prisoner you have been searching for is now revealed to be CAPTAIN PRICE, he is alive!!! You now need to follow your squad as the building starts to crumble, you will get hit by falling debris but will get back up, when you do get to the rope to be lifted to safety.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission Of their own accord

Get through the corridors and you will find your squad, follow them through the trenches towards the Capital building stopping just short by a wall. Check for any enemy soldiers in the area and when you hear the order, move towards the buildings entrance.

Once in the building you will come across some enemy resistance almost immediately, eliminate all soldiers and then follow your squad. More targets will be in the rooms ahead so deal with them, using cover if needed. After clearing a couple of rooms, move up the stairs and then follow your squad as they climb some rubble up to another floor, keep alert for guards along the way.

When you get to the next floor, kill the people on the balcony and move on slightly to allow you to clear the rest of the enemies on this floor. Now move up yet another floor and go to the room on the left as you move along. There are soldiers in here so be careful as you approach, clear the room and move through until you reach a balcony. Eliminate all people on the balcony before moving to the sniper rifle in the far corner, use the sniper to take out the enemies running to set up their mortar positions.

After clearing the mortar soldiers there will be a group who enter the room behind you . Use your old friend the flashbang to stun them before mowing them down with a spray of bullets. Next you have to pick up the Javelin from the balcony to destroy the incoming enemy vehicles near the Washington Monument. After blowing up the vehicles its time to get out of there, follow the objective marker to make your way to the roof where you can easily make your escape.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission Contingency

You start this mission in a snowy forest alongside Captain Price armed with a silenced sniper. Follow Price as he makes his way through the forest, stop as a couple of jeeps go by, Price basically guides you through the forest so keep following him and listening to what he says.

Price will tell you to take out one of the soldiers while he does the other, follow him further and you then need to kill the soldier and dog on the left, he will again deal with the others. Keep going forward and an armoured vehicle will arrive, follow Price to hide in the bushes until you are clear of it. Next you will see an enemy patrol of soldiers looking for you, again stay in the bushes with Price and the danger will soon pass.

Move further on and there are 3 more soldiers to be dealt with and then another group of 3 plus a dog, follow Price's instructions to take these out. There will then be another group that you spot, dont attack these yet, instead hold still until Price initiates the next move.

After following his instructions and making it to the top of a hill, follow him as he slides down. Move over to the supply box and pick up a different gun before moving up the road with Price and taking cover behind the jeep. Your Predator missiles will now be online and they are there for you to use in intervals, there is a 20-30 second wait between each missile so you need to use them to maximum effect. Eliminate as many enemies as possible with each one, while waiting for your next missile to become available you can take out any that you get the chance to with your normal weapons.

Move forward and more soldiers will appear so its time to clear them again with your Predators, once again get into cover and between missiles shoot down those that you get the opportunity to. After clearing this group follow Price and when he stops get some cover again to allow you to use your Predator's to obliterate the enemy forces within the submarine base, make sure to take out the enemy chopper before targeting ground soldiers. Push through the base and take out any remaining soldiers you encounter between missiles until Price makes his way towards the submarine, you now have to give him cover so get onto the roof of the building to the left. When up there use the cover to fire more missiles to clear the oncoming soldiers and again clear as many as you can in between with your gun. Once the area is cleared of hostiles a nuclear missile will soon fire from the submarine and this results in the end of the level.

You are stuck in the downed chopper at the start of this mission, shoot any enemies that you can see but dont worry too much about it as not a lot happens if you dont. Your view will then change to show you as being in space, look to the right and you can see a nuclear missile explode on Earth.

Back to the downed chopper and dealing with the after effects of the blast. When you're helped out of the helicopter, follow the squad as they rush for cover in a building. Stay in there as your squad has a quick talk about what is going on before moving back out to the street. You will have a short encounter with another American soldier before moving into another building.

There are a few enemies in this building so again proceed with caution as you enter. Deal with the ones just as you enter before moving through and taking care of the others a bit further ahead. Continue through the building, making sure each room is cleared, you will soon reach a hole that you need to drop down. As you follow your squad there will be a group of soldiers on a vehicle that appear, take them out quickly before carrying on through the streets. Another group appear ahead, there is confusion at first as to whether they are friend or foe – they are enemy soldiers so eliminate them as soon as the flare is thrown towards them. After killing this group, move over to the building on the other side of the street, follow your squad down the stairs and its level complete.

As you make your way through the bunker, you eventually come out in a war torn field directly in front of the White House. Your next objective is to get into the West Wing of the White House but its not going to be easy as you come up against some heavy resistance. You need to sprint over to the left-hand side, if you are taking too much damage get some cover either behind a tree or by going prone in one of the dips in the ground. Make your way to a more central spot where you can use a car for cover, you need to eliminate the hostiles in the open field around you first.

When there are no enemies left in the field, its time to concentrate on the building. Fire off a couple of rounds with your grenade launcher first, this should clear most of the ground floor. Then pick off the targets on the roof with your gun, as always grab cover if you need to. When the roof is cleared move back to the far left, throw a flashbang or two over the vehicle just in front of the building and then run around to take out the remaining soldiers outside. When the outside is cleared move to the front door of the West Wing, take care of the people inside and then advance through the door.

Once inside follow your squad until they reach a door that they will blast open, there are more hostiles on the other side of the door so take care of them as it opens. Move through the rooms eliminating all threats and you will reach the press room, there will be a few people to deal with from here so use your grenades and flashbangs to help you along the way.

As you move through this section you will be informed that you need to get to the roof and set off some flares within two minutes otherwise the White House will be destroyed with an air strike. Follow Foley as he makes his way to the roof, you will encounter a few more enemies along the way so take care of them, when you make it to the roof its level complete.

You are now on the trail of Makarov, follow your squad as they make their way down the hill, get ready to go prone though as a mine will shoot up out of the ground and you need to avoid its blast. Soldiers will now start to come at you so grab any cover you can while you are taking them down. An enemy smoke screen will soon be released, once it is dart down the left hand side and take out any soldiers in your path, grab cover behind some of the rocks if you need to. After clearing some of the resistance just push your way down the left and towards your marker, you will soon arrive at Makarovs safehouse – kill the soldiers outside the house before moving up to make your entrance.

When you reach the house you need to breach the front door, when you do its same tactics as before – take care of the enemies in the room directly behind the door during the slo-mo before dealing with another two just off to the side. With these guards taken out, move downstairs and there will be a couple of soldiers in the hall, after killing them breach the door on the right – there will be another couple of soldiers in here so take them out. Now come back out of this room to breach the other door, there will be a group of soldiers in here who are rushing out so mow them down before they get the chance.

After breaching the two rooms, move back upstairs, you need to go up another set of stairs right by the front door you first came him to get to the top level. As you get to the top of the stairs a soldier is in the toilet to the right, take him out before proceeding to the left and dealing with the guard in there. You now have another room that needs to be breached, there are more hostiles through this door so take them out once breached.

With this final room now cleared you will soon have to defend the house as enemies come from all directions but you have to connect the DSM to Makarovs computer first so you have some time. There are two places that you will have been through in the house that have large stockpiles of weapons, go to one of them and choose your weapons wisely – we suggest you get one of the big light machine guns (lots of ammo) and also a weapon with a thermal sight attached to it. Once you have chosen your weapons, go around the house and plant claymores at or near as many entrances and doorways you can, as well as a couple around the computer downstairs.

Once the claymores are set up, connect the DSM to the computer, now be prepared for the waves of soldiers that will be coming. Listen out as your teammates will tell you where the enemies are moving from, we decided to keep moving around the house during this section, it enables you to target the different areas that the enemies approach from and you can eliminate most of them before they get anywhere near the house. As your teammates highlight where the next wave is coming from reposition yourself accordingly, you need to watch out for hostiles coming up from the basement as well as through the main doors – any that do get into the house need to be killed quickly.

As long as you keep moving about the house and dealing with most enemies before they get near you should be ok getting through this section although it can be tough on the harder difficulties. Once the DSM has completed downloading, you need to grab it and make your escape, there will be a few more enemies to deal with both inside the house and on your way out so remember again to utilize all equipment and any available cover. When you get the chance you basically just need to sprint towards the extraction point, you will encounter a few more soldiers along the way so deal with any that are directly in your path. As you make your way past this point you will be knocked to the floor by a mortar explosion – watch the cut scene as the story takes an unexpected twist and the level is complete.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission The Enemy of My Enemy

You need to make your way through an open battlefield to complete this mission, Makarov's men are fighting with Shepherd's and neither group will hesitate to take you out given the chance. The easiest way to go about this level is to stick as far left as possible, most enemies will be too busy fighting to notice you so the only ones you really need to bother dealing with are those that are directly in front of you or any others that attack you. Utilize the available cover whenever needed and keep moving along the far left, a tank soon rolls through so hang back as it passes before carrying on.

As you push forward down the left, keep eliminating anyone within close proximity and you will eventually arrive at the shell of a plane that is sloping up a hill. Make your way into the plane and go prone as you reach the highest point so you can just see out into the field ahead. The two groups of soldiers are still fighting each other and you can now use your vantage point to take them out. If you start taking hits just move backwards slightly to allow your health to regenerate while you are out of sight.

After a short while a few vehicles will enter the field at the top, take out the people in them or wait for them to go past. Once they are dead/gone and you have thinned most of the resistance between you and the marker, drop out of the plane and just sprint down the left towards the marker. Deal with any remaining enemies you encounter and make it up the hill on the far side where the jeep is waiting. Use the surrounding cover if needed as you make your way to the jeep, when in the jeep keep shooting the enemies until you end up steering – now just get up the ramp and onto the plane.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission Just Like Old Times

Its another mission with Captain Price now and its same as before – follow him and listen to his orders as you encounter a couple of groups of soldiers, Price tells you which ones to take care of. Once done, Price attaches his rope to a railing, do the same on the one to his left and then lower yourself down, stopping just above the guards at the bottom. Use your melee attack to kill him as Price does the same with the other and you will then have dropped down from the rope.

You now need to enter the cave and keep a low profile as you follow Price, keep still as a few guards on patrol go by before killing the smoking guard and then following Price once again. Stick by Price and you will move past more guards before arriving at another two – Price intructs you to take out the one on the left.

Now follow Price again as he moves up the stairs, he will take care of the guard at the top and shortly after the lights will go out and a group of soldiers will enter with laser sights. Grab some cover as soon as the lights go off and you can pick them off using the laser sights to see where they are. Once you have cleared all the hostiles follow Price again as he goes outside, he will then tell you to pick up a riot shield. Push forward with the riot shield and use your melee attack to kill the two soldiers in front of you.

You will now move down a hill, to the right will be enemies rappelling in and also a few with riot shields. Shoot down a couple of soldiers while they are still on their ropes and then throw a grenade behind the guards with riot shields. Straight after throwing the grenade, shoot the red barrels once to set them alight – they will explode a couple of seconds later and should take out a few more guards. If you are taking hits move to the left slightly so you are out of their sight, you can then regain health before dealing with the remaining hostiles ahead.

Once cleared move through to the back of the cave, there will be a few more enemies that come out of the tunnel at the back so eliminate them and then move through the tunnel. You will now enter another cave and the enemy will release smoke bombs – as soon as you get into this cave run to the right into a separate cave and tackle the hostiles from there. Use your flashbangs, grenades and shoot the explosive red barrels to help you through this section.

With the cave cleared you now need to breach another door, as usual eliminate the threat on the other side once breached. Now move to the control panel on the right to open the door, once open get out quickly and stay close to Price, there will be some more enemy resistance ahead so use the cover available when needed. After killing all soldiers that come out here, make your way to another cave indicated by the marker – more guards will be by the entrance of the other cave so eliminate them before going after Shepherd through the cave.

Modern Warfare 2 Guide to single player mission End Game

Get yourself down to the boat and jump in, you need to chase after Shepherd as he tries to make his escape. This part is fairly straight forward, just keep moving forward as fast as you can and keep shooting as much as you can, weave your way through the rocky bits as the helicopter tries to gun you down.

Shepherds helicopter will come down and you end up on the ground, walk towards the wreckage and kill the soldier on the ground, you then need to chase Shepherd on foot but its not far. He stops next to a car, you will be fighting and he stabs you in the chest, you then have to watch as him and Price are fighting. It looks like Price is going to end up getting killed, so follow the on screen instructions to yank the knife out of your chest, you then need to just aim the knife at Shepherd and throw – taking him down and leading to the end of your campaign!

Well done soldier, youve made it through and survived everything that was thrown at you!!
