I N T R O D U C T I O N [INT99] _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my second ever FAQ, lets hope you enjoy this Trophy Guide that I have made for Modern Warfare 2 (I will call it MW2 from now on). In this FAQ, the Trophies attainable in-game will be listed, along with detailed descriptions on how to obtain them. _______________________________________________________________________________ 2.

F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S [FAQ99] _______________________________________________________________________________ Q: What is this FAQ? A: It is a guide on how to obtain all 51 trophies in Modern Warfare 2. Q: Why did you write this FAQ? A: I wanted to help people who were confused or struggling with trophies, hopefully this guide did that. Q: How did you get all this info? A: Most of the trophies are fairly straight forward and I observed the rest while playing in-game Q: I can't understand one of your explanations!?!? A: Just send me an email (listed at contaact information) and i'll try re-explaining it to you or update it with more detail. Q: Hey I found a quick/easy way to do a trophy, can you put it in your guide? A: Sure, simply email me (with an alias to credit you with) and i'll update the FAQ and give you credit for it. Q: My trophies are not working!??!? Help please A: Simply update to version 1.04 and trophies should now work. Q: Can I pick each mission from the menu, complete it on Veteran and still get the trophies that way? A: Yes, you can. You don't need to do it all in a single run. _______________________________________________________________________________ 4. T R O P H I E S [OBT99] _______________________________________________________________________________ Please note the order of trophies are sorted by type, so bronze trophies are first, then silver, gold and then the platinum. If you do not want to manually scroll down through each individual trophy, you can press CTRL + F then type in the name of the Trophy you are looking for, or the code next to that trophy it will take you straight there. _______________________________________________________________________________ | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has a total 51 Trophies, which are: | | | | 1 Platinum Trophy | | 2 Gold Trophies | | 13 Silver Trophies | | 35 Bronze Trophies | _______________________________________________________________________________ Some tips before starting: 1. For the story related trophies, always try to utilise cover. There are no infinite respawn enemies and less grenade spam than previous COD games. Always take note of grenades and the direction in which the enemies are shooting at you. 2. In spec ops, always stay close to your partner, ALWAYS. If you happen to be shot and put in last stand your partner can revive you if they are close by, you do not want to be halfway through a mission and then die because your partner was too far away to revive you. Also, if you do Solo Spec Ops, you will not go into Last Stand mode, you will just die instead. **More tips to come soon** _______________________________________________________________________________ *** PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS, IT APPLIES TO ALL SPEC OPS TROPHIES *** _______________________________________________________________________________ To earn stars in Special Ops, you must complete one of the 23 missions on either of the 3 diffuculties. Completing it on the lowest difficulty (Recruit) earns you 1 star, completing it on the next highest level(Hardened) gives you 2 stars, completing it on the highest difficulty(Veteran) earns you 3 stars. All together there are 69 stars. You will need to beat all missions on the hardest difficulty(Veteran) to get the related Special Ops trophies, including the Gold Trophy. It is also STRONGLY reccomended that you play Spec Ops with another Player, simply because the levels are *mainly* designed for 2 players, unless you are hardcore and want to try 1 player the majority of Spec Ops. For all JUGGERNAUTS, try to use cover as much as possible, and remember Stun and Flash Grenades work wonders and can get you crucial seconds to recoup. It takes up to approx 5 .50 Cal bullets to kill one, they have SERIOUS amounts of armour. Also Claymores are a godsend while dealing with juggernauts, they can also give you precious seconds to run away or get to cover. Also if you are having trouble with the harder difficulties, you can always try planting claymores in main areas, then luring your enemies out into them while you move back to another safe area. Also remember to use your grenades when they are available to you. *** Also there are 2 levels in which you MUST play with another player. *** _______________________________________________________________________________ *** PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS, IT APPLIES TO ALL VETERAN TROPHIES *** _______________________________________________________________________________ - ALWAYS use cover, it is a life saver. When you are in cover and severely injured, go prone (hold O), and this will make you a harder target to hit. - In the sneaking missions you should ALWAYS use suppressed weapons, not doing so is NOT reccommended. - Watch out for enemies crouching behind cover, take the time to spot them, otherwise you could be put in an uncomfortable position when they surprise you. - WATCH OUT FOR DOGS. Dogs should be your first priority, they can charge at you a LOT faster than other enemies (duh), and thus pose the most immediate risk. They can also instant kill you, and who wants to get owned by a dog? - When a grenade gets thrown at you, THROW IT BACK! Free grenades should always be welcomed and can help get enemies out of cover. - If you are not the most skilled gamer, I would strongly reccommend you beat the game BEFORE trying Veteran. This is a great game and being frustrated at this game on Veteran may mean you won't enjoy it more. I personally beat the game first on Hardened, then Veteran, and I can honestly say having the knowledge of the gameplay aspects and enemy locations HELPED ME A LOT. It could help you too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.01. Back In The Saddle [00401] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Help train the local militia. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 1/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You get towards the end of the first mission, you will have to shoot a few targets, as well as run 'The Pitt.' There are no real enemies so this trophy is incredibly easy. This will most likely be your first trophy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.02. Danger Close [00402] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Get hand picked for Shepherd's squad. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 4/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this at the end of the second mission after passing through the militia village and after you clear out the school. When you meet up with Shephard you will get this trophy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.03. Cold Shoulder [00403] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Infiltrate the snowy mountain side base. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 5/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this in the mission 'Cliffhanger.' You have to ascend the mountain with Soap and then make it to the main building in which you must "interact" with the base. As soon as you make it down the slope and get to the helicopter this is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.04. Tag 'em and Bag 'em [00404] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Find Roajs in the Favelas Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: Simply progress through the Favelas and you will eventually catch up to him, once you reach the top, the mission ends and this trophy is yours. NOTE: in this level there are many enemies that shoot from behind cover and windows, try memorising the locations of enemies and it should make it easier on higher difficulties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.05. Royale With Cheese [00405] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Defend Burger Town Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this after completing the mission "Wolverines." In this mission you have to, well as the trophy says, defend burger town. You can make this level seem easier by sticking to rooftops and using the Predator Missile when it is ready. There is a thermal scoped weapon on the rooftop with the turret, this will come in handy when your enemies use Smoke Grenades as cover. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.06. Soap on a Rope [00406] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Storm the Gulag Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this trophy after you have progressed through the gulag, and rescue prisoner #627. Through out this level, use the cover available and grab a Riot Shield when you first encounter them. If you are having difficulty in the shower room, go back to the wall in which you breached (while facing the direction of the objective marker) and use the cover on the left hand side. When the Riot Shield enemies appear, use the grenades available to you. Flanking them around the side also works wonders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.07. Desperate Times [00407] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Execute the plan to help the Americans Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this by beating the mission called "Contingency." You will have to sneak past enemy patrols and infiltrate the base with your squad. Remember to use suppressed weapons while sneaking and make good use of your Predator Missle. There is also a M240 Heartbeat Sensor on the box after you slide down the hill, use it wisely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.08. Whiskey Hotel [00408] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Take back Whiskey Hotel Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this trophy by beating "Whiskey Hotel" in Act III. At the start you will need to progress through a raging gunwar in which you will need to use cover effectively. Stay low and wait for your health to regenerate if it gets low. Inside the 'building' after this sequence, use your grenades wisely as your enemies will hide behind cover. After this you will need to make it to the roof, after which the mission will end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.09. The Pawn [00409] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Assault Makarov's safe house Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 9/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this trophy by beating "Loose Ends" in Act III. Start by running down the hill, and when the landmines activate HOLD O, otherwise you will die. You need to head towards the left path through the smoke and while doing so try to avoid gunfire. After you make it up this hill you will need to breach and clear the entrance, and the rooms in the basement. There are an assortment of weapons in one of the basement rooms, pick wisely. After this you will need to defend the house. Plant Claymores and pick a spot where you can see and protect the objective. At the end sequence you will need to make it down a hill. I personally went down the right hand side, I found this to be most effective and I could avoid enemies much easier this way. Either way, make it down to the bottom of the hill and this trophy is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.10. Out of the Frying Pan... [00410] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete the mission in the Airport graveyard Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Cannot be missed on a regular playthrough of the Campaign. Guide: You will get this trophy by beating 'The Enemy of My Enemy' in Act III. The areas are filled with soldiers from 2 seperate sides, I would reccommend staying low and avoiding getting involved with soldiers as much as possible. The route I took was the far left and basically nearly hugging the wall as I progressed through the level. Reload often and cover your back to avoid being unexpectedly killed from behind. After you make it to this checkpoint you will need to shoot as many people as possible, after which you will need to control the car. Accelerate using (R1), and steer using the analog stick. After you do this the mission ends and the trophy is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.11. Pit Boss [00411] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Run the Pit in 'S.S.D.D.' and finish with a final time of under 30 seconds. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: CANNOT be completed in Spec Ops, must be completed in Campaign, in the first mission. Guide: You need to complete 'The Pit' in under 30 seconds to get this trophy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: you will not get any time subtracted from your score | | if you do this mission in Spec Ops, so I would reccommend doing this in the | | first mission of the game so that you can have a slight degree of error. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Killing civilians will add to your time and having good accuracy will subtract from your time. I used the M4A1 and the USP to do this one. As for the actual course: 1. Start by running into the course and slightly heading right, while doing so 3 Targets will pop up. 1 will be on the far left, 1 in the 'window', and one on the far right. - Shoot all 3 (I did from left to right) and then sprint forward. 2. Next 3 will pop up, as well as a civilian in the foreground. 1 enemy will be on the far right hand side, and the civilian will be infront of the other enemy. - The order in which you take these 2 down doesn't really matter. 3. Now 7 targets will pop up, with 2 civilians. One of the two civilians is on the far right hand side of the rear part (inside the window), the next is standing INFRONT (i.e. foreground) of the window in the middle. There are 2 enemies directly above these two civilians, as well as 1 enemy behind the one standing near the middle window, with 1 more on the far LEFT window, as well as 1 enemy closer than the rest, who is standing on the right hand side. - The order in which I did this in was to shoot the two enemies on the top floor first, then i went from right to left on the bottom floor (reason because you have to walk through the left hand side where the enemy was standing) then immediately proceed into the doorway on the left hand side. 4. There will be 3 enemies in this area, 1 immediately infront of you (behind the civilian) and 2 on the right hand side. When you look to the right hand side, the 2 targets on the far right are the ones you need to shoot. So shoot the enemy immediately infront of you first, and then quickly turn and shoot the 2 on the right hand side. After this, quickly change your weapon to the USP and sprint up the stairs. 5. When you are near the top of the stairs, an enemy will spawn at the top of the stairs. You MUST melee him(using R3), regular bullets won't do anything to him. 6. After this there will be 6 targets with 2 civilians. One civilian is inside the window straight as you walk up the stairs. On the RIGHT of this civilian will be 2 enemies, one behind the other (The one behind will move from left to right.) Quickly take them out (while not moving forward, VERY important) and then start turning right. As you face the right hand side, there will be 2 enemies, one on the far right, and one behind him who will also move from left to right. Quickly shoot them and move around the obstacle and jump down. 7. This is where it gets tricky. There is 1 enemy on the left, but there is also a civilian infront of him who moves from left to right. Strafe (L3) right and you will then see 3 enemies. One on the far left, one in the middle, and one behind this enemy in the middle who will move from the middle to right hand side. Shoot them in any order you wish. 8. Last step. You will see 2 enemies, one behind the other (the one behind moves from left to right), quickly take them both out and then SPRINT to the end. -End course- Tips for 'The Pitt' - DO NOT use the Desert Eagle, the recoil is horrible, no matter how good it looks it's not appropriate for this course. - Try to memorise the locations of the barriers in which you will have to navigate around, it is incredible frustrating when you get stuck on one. - Try to memorise the locations of the enemies, this seems like a no-brainer, but it really does help you cut down your time. - Try not to use more than 1 bullet per enemy. You need to cut time and you do not want to be reloading in the 'heat of battle.' It will also add seconds onto your time. - Use a SMG in quick bursts as it has a large capacity which will cut the need for reloading. - I would strongly reccommend you use the USP as your secondary weapon, it is equipped with a tactical knife which lets you knife faster, it can cut down on your time while trying to melee the enemy at the top of the stairs. - If you shoot a civilian, restart. You're only going to waste your time by continuing. - If you reload before jumping off the second level near the middle of the course, restart. You need to be fast, you want to reload only once maximum, which should be after you shoot the first 3 enemies after jumping down off the second floor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.12. Ghost [00412] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Plant the C4 in 'Cliffhanger' without alerting or injuring anyone in the blizzard. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: You can't shoot, melee, or be seen. Basically means make it to the C4 checkpoint without 'interacting' with any guard. Guide: After Soap parts ways with you, you need to progress through the storm without any enemy contact, which basically means you can't use any weapons or damage anyone. Keep an eye on your Heartbeat Sensor and crawl as much as possible. Here's the path I took: When soap leaves you, move southwest, towards the green car, then crawl along the far outside of the building with 2 enemies (on the right hand side, inside the fenced area). Then crawl to the door of the next building and wait for the truck to come past. Crawl east from that building to the stack of boxes. Then proceed south-east around those boxes, while doing so, there may be a guard on the right hand side on top of the hill. Keep heading towards the objective and take the right hand side of the next building. When you make it to the runway (you will see 2 fighter jets there) immediately sprint across the runway, Soap will say there are foot mobiles headed your way, but they wont reach you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.13. Colonel Sanderson [00413] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 7 Chickens in under 10 seconds in 'The Hornet's Nest' Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 1/10 Additional Details: Only available in the market section near the end of this mission. Guide: The only real place to get this is right near the end of this mission. There will be a market place with stalls, in which many chickens are stacked in boxes. You can easily get this by tossing 1 or 2 grenades into a mob of chicken cages, or by simply using an Assault Rifle. Try not to shoot the chickens while clearing out the enemies otherwise you may not have as many grouped together which would make this trophy seem harder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.14. Gold Star [00414] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn 1 Star in Special Ops Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 1/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: For this trophy all you have to do is complete 1 Special Ops mission on Recruit or harder. You can finish 'The Pitt' to easily get this. You don't even have a time limit, all you need to do is complete the course. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.15.

It Goes to 11 [00417] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn at least 1 star in 11 different Special Op missions Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 3/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: Self explanatory, simply beat 11 different Spec-Ops missions on any difficulty (recruit if you're in a hurry) and this trophy is yours. Difficulty does not matter for this trophy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.18. Operational Asset [00418] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn all 3 Stars in at least 5 different Special Op Missions Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 5/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: This trophy requires you to beat 5 missions on Veteran difficulty. The Alpha missions are reccomended as they are the easiest missions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.19. Blackjack [00419] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn 21 Stars in Special Ops Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 6/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: Keep playing the different Special Ops levels, this will come over time, if you are in a hurry you can beat 7 missions on the hardest difficulty (veteran) and this trophy is yours. Just keep playing Special Ops and you will eventually get this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20. Honor Roll [00420] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn at least 1 Star in each Special Op Mission. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 6/10 Additional Details: 23 Total missions, i.e. Beat all 23 missions on the lowest difficulty or higher. Guide: Incredibly easy. All you need to do is to beat each Special Ops mission on the lowest difficulty(recruit) or higher. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.21. Downed but Not Out [00421] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 4 enemies in a row while downed in Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: Requires a SECOND PLAYER/CONTROLLER. Guide: For this trophy you will need a second player. You will need to go into the 'Last Stand' mode, in which you can use a pistol while you are 'half-dead' on the floor. You will be unable to stand up or move fast, or use another weapon. An easy way to get this is to do a split-screen match on the 3rd Alpha Mission (the one in favela) and get the second controller and melee the first player. This will put them in 'Last Stand' mode. Now you need to kill 4 enemies, and on recruit this shouldn't be too hard. You need to get this in one go, so if you get revived or die the count restarts. Have patience with this one as you should be able to get 4 kills within the 1 minute limit of 'Last Stand' mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.22. I'm the Juggernaut... [00422] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill a Juggernaut in Special Ops Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge/Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: Juggernauts are the larger looking foot soldiers. Pick the Spec Ops mission Snatch & Grab and at the start a juggernaut MAY** appear in the open space after the plane right infront of you. Simply use the Intervention sniper rifle or a Light Machine Gun which you should be able to pick up. It may take a while but he will eventually go down, just keep shooting. As soon as he dies this trophy should pop up. ** The juggernaut does not always appear at the start, if he does not appear at the start and you are in a rush you can keep restarting untill he appears. Also note you can do this on any difficulty, if you just want to quickly get this trophy just pick Recruit difficulty, you will incur less damage this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.23. Ten plus foot-mobiles [00423] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill at least 10 enemies with one Predator missle in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Hit R1 to speed up the Predator Missle, giving enemies less time to space out. Guide: The most ideal place to get this is in the mission 'Wolferines' in which you must defend Burger Town. After you pick up the Predator Missle, you will need to progress towards the roof on a building on the opposite side of the road. One of your squad mates will announce "large amount of foot mobiles emerging from ____ direction." There will be about 15-20 enemies here, so simply pull out your Predator Missle and aim in the middle of the mob. It really isn't as hard as it seems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.24. Unnecessary Roughness [00424] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Use a Riot Shield to beat down an enemy in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge/Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 4/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: The first time you can get this is in the mission which contains 'disturbing content.' After you progress through this mission you will encounter police resistance with riot shields, simply pick one up and melee (R3) while near an enemy. ** HOWEVER ** If you chose to skip the 'disturbing content', you can get this in the mission where you storm the gulag/prison. After you progress into the armory, one of your Squadmates will tell you to pick up a Riot Shield. After exiting the armory, progress to the left and meelee (R3) a soldier with the Riot Shield equipped. You can also get this on the Spec Ops level 'Terminal' after the first wave of 3-4 enemies, grab the Riot Shield that one enemy will drop and procees towards the stairs, simply meelee an enemy twice and they will die and you will get this trophy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.25. Knock-Knock [00425] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 4 enemies with 4 shots during a slow-mo breach in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: Slow-mo breaches are initiated after planting C4 on a door, this will alert you when to be prepared. Guide: I got this trophy in the mission "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday." At the second breach (or first if you prefer) you will need to kill 4 enemies with 4 shots. Unfortunately, there are hostages(and explosives) in the room, which means you'll have be careful in aiming as shooting either will result in a mission fail. If you do this on Recruit, it will only take 1 CHEST shot to kill each enemy, so simply take your time and aim, as the slow-mo will NOT wear off untill ALL enemies are dead. If you are finding it difficult, try memorising the locations of the enemies. If you are having trouble remembering where the enemies are located, you can simply shoot a hostage (cruel much?) and the checkpoint will restart and you can re-breach again. If you miss this opportunity, you can do this in the Spec Ops mission 'Breach and Clear.' Simply breach at the start of the level and take out 4 enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.26. Some Like it Hot [00426] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 6 enemies in a row using a Thermal Weapon in Special Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 6/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: The easiest way to get this is either in the mission 'Wolverines' or the Spec Ops mission in which you defend the location in 'Wolverines.' Pick up the M14 Thermal Scope and shoot 6 enemies, it is a powerful rifle so 6 single shots should do this. In 'Wolverines' you will be told to pick this weapon up as the enemies use smoke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.27. Two Birds with One Stone [00427] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 2 enemies with a single bullet in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: Best done with a Sniper Rifle, high penetrative power. Guide: If you don't get this on a normal playthrough, you can select the Spec Ops mission 'Hidden' (the one with the description mentioning Chernobyl). At the start of the mission, walk through the storage container and go LEFT. Take out the enemy you see on the left with a quick shot with the Intervention. Then crouch and move right, around the corner will be 2 enemies, line them up and shoot 1 in the chest. The enemy will hit 1 and go straight through and kill the other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.28. The Road Less Traveled [00428] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Collect 22 enemy intel items. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Collectible Difficulty: 6/10 Additional Details: Intel items look like laptop computers, there is NO way of checking which ones you have/missed. Guide: Enemy intel items are stored at locations through out campaign, simply look out for these items and continue them, and you will eventually get this. There are 45 intel items all together. Refer to an in-depth FAQ for locations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.29. Leave No Stone Unturned [00429] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Collect 45 enemy intel items. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Collectible. Difficulty: 6/10 Additional Details: Intel items look like laptop computers, there is NO way of checking which ones you have/missed. Guide: intel items are stored at locations through out campaign, simply look out for these items and continue them, and you will eventually get this. There are 45 intel items all together. This means you need to find ALL the enemy intel items in campaign. Again, refer to an in-depth FAQ for locations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.30. Drive By [00430] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 20 enemies in a row while driving a vehicle in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Constantly holding L1 will ensure you auto aim and take out targets as fast as possible. Guide: Ideal places for this are the ending sequence in 'Cliffhanger' or the chase sequence in the mission 'End Game.' If you do not get this in a normal playthrough, put your difficulty on Recruit and pick either one of these levels (preferably End Game) and simply accelerate using R1 and shoot using L1. You will auto-aim so when enemies come close simply hold down L1 and you will eventually rack up the kills. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.31. The Harder They Fall [00431] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 2 rappelling enemies in a row before they land on their feet in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Enemies must STILL BE IN THE AIR, and must be killed ONE after the other. Guide: I got this in the mission 'Whiskey Hotel.' After you progress through the first stage and enter the building, clear out all the enemies in the first room, and then head outside. Look in the direction of the large building and shoot 2 out of the 3 enemies rapelling down the wall infront of you. You can also get this trophy on the start of the Spec Ops mission 'Suspension.' Right at the start either stay on the far left or right hand side, and shoot 2 out of the 4 enemies that will rapell down, if you miss this chance you can always restart as this opportunity is right at the start of the level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.32. Desperado [00432] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 5 ememies in a row using 5 different weapons or attachments in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: This is easiest done on the mission 'Loose Ends.' After you reach the house, Simply kill 1 enemy with your primary weapon, then another enemy with your secondary weapon, then sprint up to an enemy and knife another enemy. Inside the house is a large arsenal of weapons (around 15+) so simply switch weapons twice and kill another 2 enemies while doing so. You could also do this easily on the Spec Ops mission 'Suspension.' There are around 5-7 guns sitting right infront of you when you spawn, simply switch them out after each kill and you should get this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.33. Look Ma Two Hands [00433] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill 10 enemies in a row using akimbo weapons in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge. Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: Akimbo weapons are scarce so follow instructions below. They also have lower accuracy than their single counterparts, prepare for the recoil. Guide: There are many places to do this, however I got this in the mission 'Loose Ends.' Simply storm the bottom floor of the house and pick up the dual weapons which the enemy at the end of the corridor, and kill 10 enemies. If you do this method, you should easily get 10 kills in a row before you exit the area. Another place (which is not as easy) to get this is on the mission 'Takedown.' Once you pass the area with the dogs, walk straight ahead without turning left, there will be akimbo Desert Eagles in the corner here, next to the house. They will kill in 1-2 shots but the recoil is horrible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.34. No Rest For the Wary [00434] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Knife an enemy without him ever knowing you were there in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: Enemy MUST be killed without him seeing you, i.e. from behind, and without hearing your footsteps. Guide: To get this trophy, simply sneak up to an enemy without him turning around or being alerted to your prescence, and knife him. I got this trophy in 'Cliffhanger' (go figure). When Soap parts ways with you, rush up to the first car, and carefully observe the enemy on the opposite side of this car. Sneak up to him and knife him WITH his back turned to you, then this trophy is yours. **NOTE** Instead of knifing this enemy, you could walk into the house nearby and knife the enemy who is sitting on a chair facing the opposite direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.35. Threesome [00435] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Kill at least 3 enemies with a single shot from a grenade launcher in Single Player or Special Ops. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Challenge Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: You should already have this after beating the second mission, if not read below. Guide: You should get this fairly early in the game. When you are under the bridge (lol troll) Sgt. Foley will instruct you to shoot the enemy on the bridge. The game will instruct you to switch to your secondary fire using [LEFT]. Simply shoot the grenade at the enemies on the top of the bridge and you should knock out at LEAST 3 enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.36. For the Record [00436] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete the Single Player Campaign on any difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Story Related Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: Self explanatory, simply beat the Single Player Campaign on any difficulty. However, if you beat the game on Hardened, you will get this trophy as well as 'Price of War.' Beat the game on Veteran and you will also get all the Mission Related trophies for beating them on Veteran. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.37. First Day of School [00437] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'S.S.D.D.' and 'Team Player' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: Self explanatory, these are the first two missions and are not relatively hard compared to the rest of the missions. ALWAYS use cover, and watch out for grenades. During the vehicle sequence, when you pass through the school immediately focus fire on the RPG welding troops on the roof. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.38. Black Diamond [00438] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Cliffhanger' on Veteran Difficulty Trophy Type: Bronze In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: You should try minimising encounters with enemies in this mission. If you can plant the C4 without being seen (which is another trophy) you are already halfway there. Always utilise cover and WATCH YOUR HEARTBEAT SENSOR, it can be a lifesaver, also remember it will not pick up enemies behind you. Crouch as much as possible and STAY PRONE if you get hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.39. Turistas [00439] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Takedown' and 'The Hornet's Nest' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 10/10 Additional Details: Easily (lol irony) the two hardest missions in the game. Guide: Takedown is incredibly frustrating on Veteran, Hornet's Nest, no so much. On Takedown, ALWAYS be aware of enemy positions AND make sure you check windows and behind you often. Avoid using Akimbo weapons in this as maximum accuracy is needed. Move SLOWLY and be patient, you will eventually get through. On The Hornets Nest, always stay behind cover and wait for your squad mates to announce it being safe before moving out of cover. After beating Takedown, the Hornest Nest should feel a lot easier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.40. Red Dawn [00440] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Wolverines!' and 'Exodus' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 9/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: On Wolverines, you will want to utilise the Predator Missle as much as possible. Stick close to your squad mates. Also crawling the long way around to move positions never hurt anyone. Exodus is incredibly frustrating, one of the most annoying segments in the game. Use the laser designator as much as possible and USE YOUR FLASH GRENADES when clearing out houses, and be patient. Be persistent and careful before anything. After passing this, know you have passed one of the most annoying segments in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.41. Prisoner #627 [00441] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'The Only Easy Day...Was Yesterday' and 'The Gulag' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 9/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: 'The Only Easy Day...Was Yesterday' isn't relatively hard. When you breach you must be fast because the hostages will be shot faster than on other difficulties. Always use cover, and after planting the C4 FOLLOW SOAP. He will lead you to a sniping spot where you can safely take down enemies. After reaching the area in which A LOT of enemies come, again, FOLLOW SOAP. Plant C4's towards the back of the position so enemies can't really sneak up to you. Then stay prone and pick enemies off 1 by 1 with your Thermal Scope. The Gulag is relatively easy, just progress slowly and USE THE RIOT SHIELD. When you enter the shower room, stay immediately near the entrance to the left and use the cover, you will BARELY get shot. Pick off enemies here. The rest of the level is fairly easy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.42. Ends Justify the Means [00442] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Contingency' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 10/10 Additional Details: A time limit applies near the end of this mission, see below for details. Guide: Another sneaking Mission, FOLLOW your squad mates instructions and do not use your enemies weapons, they are un-suppressed. There is also a M240 Heartbeat Sensor on the box after you slide down the hill, use it wisely. Also take note of enemies trying to flank you. When the timer starts, you will have 2 minutes (YES 2 MINUTES) to make it to the 'objective.' Before this timer starts however, use the Predator Missle on the mob of 6-7 enemies immediately infront of you. Then the NEXT time it is available, use it on the flying helicopter. Progress towards the building with the car parking under it (ugh hard to describe) and you should get a check point. MOVE CAREFULLY untill the coast is clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.43. Homecoming [00443] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Of Their Own Accord','Second Sun,' and 'Whiskey Hotel' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 8/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: Again, the usual tactics, use cover, move slowly. You should be used to it by now. Watch out for enemies behind cover as they can surprise you. These missions can be challenging but overall aren't that difficult. Complete these 3 missions and this trophy is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.44. Queen Takes Rook [00444] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Loose Ends' and 'The Enemy of My Enemy' on Veteran Difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 9/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: On Loose Ends, you need to use Flashbangs/Stuns inside the house to ensure no quick deaths, also use cover effectively while moving around. When moving down the hill, I suggest taking the path on the RIGHT HAND SIDE. When I did this mission, I encountered maybe about 3-4 enemies contrary to the 8-13 I would get by using the left hand side. On 'The Enemy of My Enemy' you need to move slowly down the left hand side of the map, crawl if needed to avoid patrols. It can be frustrating if seen but if you memorise the locations you can dead with them effectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.45. Off the Grid [00445] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Complete 'Just Life Old Times' and 'Endgame' on Veteran difficulty. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Specific Mission/Difficulty related. Difficulty: 9/10 Additional Details: See below. Guide: In 'Just Like Old Times,' I reccommend using a Thermal Scope weapon and a weapon with a Heartbeat Sensor. When you and your squadmate are discovered, there is a weapon with a Heartbeat sensor near the 3 barrels, use it, but DO NOT use your Night Vision Goggles. The Sensor is more worthwhile and effective than the Night Vision Goggles. After you pick this up, proceed directly ahead into the small tunnel and use the barrels for cover, this will make it incredibly easier than other spots. As for 'Endgame', I will not spoil anything but you need to be aware, and also fast, if you made it this far on Veteran 'Endgame' should be easy. Completing End Game means you completed MW2! Congratulations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.46. Operative [00446] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn all 3 Stars in at least 10 different Special Op Missions. Trophy Type: Silver In-Game Type: Spec Ops Mission related. Difficulty: 7/10 Additional Details: See below.

Specialist [00447] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn 30 stars in Special Ops.

Professional [00448] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Earn all 3 stars in at least 15 different Special Ops missions.
