Black Tuesday
1. The initial cut-scene starts off right where Modern Warfare 2 left us hanging two years ago. Yet in a bit of a tease, it cuts to the chase as you’re in the shoes of another soldier, Frost. You’ll be immediately hit by a RPG. Time to exit the vehicle. From here on, it’s on foot.
2. Follow Sandman and crew down the street with your goal of disabling a jammer. Take cover behind the walls and obstacles along the road quickly, because a swarm of enemies will be just along the way. Keep moving forward toward the way-point, as you take out each enemy one by one. If any one of them peeks their head out, massage their head with a bullet. You can also use the hybrid scope by pressing “3″ to test it out and see if you like it.
3. When you get further down the road by the cross street, a vehicle with a machine gun on top will swerve in. Take out the gunner first and proceed forward. You’ll turn right down the street and be faced with more enemies. I’d suggest taking the sidewalk on the right where the scaffolding is, since you’ll be heading in that direction anyway.
4. When the helicopter comes, you’ll be no match for it, so follow the way-point that leads inside the building. Take out any enemies on foot that might shoot you in the back as you head in.
5. When you’ve avoided the helicopter, follow your squad down the hallway and up the stairs until you reach a door. Sandman will bust it open with his strong foot. As soon as you enter, you’ll see a part of the building where the ceiling collapsed. Shoot the enemies that are focused on you there.
6. Walk up the rubble and hang a right. You’ll see a downed helicopter. Look down the hall and up a little bit above the helicopter blades, to spot some bad guys. There will also be one across the way on the same level. When they’re gone, hop over the rubble and more enemies will appear down the hallway. Shoot them. If you stick to the right, there’s a bedroom where you can grab some intel. Keep following Sandman through the hallway and down the stairs.
7. When you reach the bottom, you’ll be given a lesson in throwing a 9-Banger. Press “Q” when the door slowly opens and disorient the crap out of those two enemies, who are now even more prime targets. Now go through the door and up the stairs as you keep following Sandman. You’ll then head through a door and be on the second floor with enemies on the bottom floor.
8. Shoot anyone you see on the bottom. Use the 9-Bangers if you wish as well. When the initial group is dead, head down the stairs and more will enter the building. Take cover behind the glass cases, preferably prone, and wipe out the incoming force. You’ll be shown to use the grenade here, so press “G” or the middle mouse button to see if you can get a triple kill. When all is clear, head left on the street. You’ll also see a way-point.
9. To flush out the enemies hiding behind cover, you’re given the use of the XM25, which is pretty much a grenade launcher. You don’t get too much ammo, so try to get enemies when they show up in groups as you keep moving forward. You’ll eventually see the target building you have to enter. At the same time on the left hand side you’ll also see a machine gunner. Take this guy out and thin out the rest as you head inside.
10. Inside, you’ll find an ammo refill station. Use it to replenish guns, then follow your team as you head up the escalator. Upon reaching the top, you’ll be fired on to your left and be treated to a nice aural melody. Take cover here and use the kiosks to navigate your way through, while killing any enemies you see. Keep heading for the way-point.
11. When you reach it, run up the stairs with your team. When you get half-way up, a group of enemies will ambush you on the balcony. Take these guys out quickly, then keep going up. When you reach the ladder, climb it, and immediately engage any enemies that run down the stairs. Climb up the stairs and shoot any enemies you see. Push forward, take cover, and wait until all enemies on the rooftop are gone.
12. Run up to the jammer and place thermite on it, by pressing and holding “F”. Now clear the blast radius and use “LMB” to blow it. Hang out a little bit as you wait for exfil. When this happens, two groups of enemies will be firing on you from a building across the way. Luckily, you can fire missiles on them with the Predator. Take cover where it’s safe, go prone, and press “4″ to activate it. Now press “LMB” to fire off a rocket. Use the mouse to guide the missile toward your enemies.
13. As you kill the first group of rooftop RPGers, a helicopter will fly in. Use the Predator once again and guide the missile to the, soon to be flaming pile of wreckage. The helicopter for exfil will appear. Run to it and take a ride. You’ll also be manning the gun.
14. Shoot the enemies on the rooftops. When the helicopter moves around the buildings, you’ll be ambushed by enemy helicopters. Give them everything you got until they go down. The helicopter will then fly around a building under construction. An enemy helicopter will ascend quickly and it becomes a chase as you try to take out the heli through the building and eventually above.
15. The enemy heli will hit the heli you’re riding on, and explode on the building under construction. Watch the rest of the explosive action as we head to the next mission.

Hunter Killer
1. You start off in the water as Frost once again as you’re paired with Sandman. Wait for Sandman to break through the grates, and ride the submersible as you head into a tunnel. Press “W” to move forward and use the mouse to steer. Move through as you pass by the remnants of battles past, then turn right out of the tunnel into more open water.
2. Follow the squad while diving underneath the pipe. You’ll then get word of the Russians laying down mines, so check your sonar periodically to locate them. Keep moving through and avoid the mines you come across. As you press forward you’ll head down, and some more mines will be visible. Keep heading down past the chains that are keeping the mines steady and under another pipe.
3. Then in a scene that reminds me of Star Wars, you’ll see the submarine you need to board, jet past, above you. When the squad moves, move forward as well toward the way-point. Get close to it, then press “F” to plant a mine on the submarine. When the mines blow, the submarine will move to the surface. It’s time to head up to the surface as well. And what a lovely surface it is.
4. As you make your way on top of the submarine, take out the enemies that are running toward you. After laying waste to them, follow Sandman as you both enter the hatch by pressing “F”. Sandman will open the door when you head inside. Take out the two bad guys directly in front of you and move toward the entry way adorned with the red light.
5. As you enter, make a right and move down the stairs. You’ll see Sandman using his strong foot once again. Walk down more stairs and you’ll enter an area flooded with water as you hang left. Shoot all enemies in the area as you head to the way-point. You’ll split again from Sandman, so take the stairs on the left hand side. When you reach the top, head right and a pipe will start emitting steam. Then head left up the stairs past the steam, and you’ll be faced with enemies using laser targeting.
6. They should be easy to locate. Just follow the path of the laser and take all the guys out in the room. When this room is clear, head into the door with the way-point on it, but watch out for enemies in this corridor. There’s also an enemy you can see on the second floor through the grating. Kill any that oppose you, then make a right past the railing, then left as you see a set of stairs to climb.
7. You’ll be met with a door, but that’s okay because you’ll be breaching it with a charge. Press “F” to do so and Sandman will do the rest. When the door blows, it’s slow motion time. I’d recommend taking out the closest dude. The one who is trying to stab you. Then clear the rest of the room. After some communication, press “F” to use the console. After turning the keys, follow Sandman up the ladder, then head down to the raft.
8. You’re in full control of this thing, so press “W” to move forward and the “A” and “D” keys to steer. Follow the raft in front of you as you head through the war-zone. At one point, a slow motion moment will ensue with a boat knocking you off course. Shoot the mines toward the back of the boat to continue. Keep following the squad in front of you. Eventually the exfil helicopters will arrive, soaring above you. Punch it, as you head inside one of the helicopters that has landed.

Persona Non Grata
1. The situation starts off with a bang in this mission. Soap needs to be flown into a chopper to escape the Russians. You’re in the shoes of Yuri for this mission. As you see Soap in pain, a chopper decides to crash land through the door and open up the city around you. Unfortunately, they’re full of enemies, but fortunately, you’re under Capt. Price’s orders.
2. Take position on the balcony and shoot the enemies sliding down the rope. They’ll eventually breach the courtyard door, so when that happens, take them out as well. Use the balcony on the right hand side to get a better view. As you fight off the wave, attacking helicopters will hit the doctor helping Soap. When this happens, run to Soap and press “F” on the table the doctor was using. You’ll inject Soap with some good stuff.
3. After this happens, watch Capt. Price kick some ass, then follow him as you make your way out of the room. Turn right down the hallway and take out the enemies that will run up. A group crashes their way through the windows as well. When they’re taken care of, follow Price down the stairs after he kicks open the door.
4. When you reach the bottom, help out the crew as you try to clear the courtyard. When you run out, you’ll be in some intense gun-fire. Look to your right and you should see an arched entry way, which you can use as a cover spot. Peek out from here and shoot any enemies as you move up to clear the courtyard.
5. Once the courtyard is clear, follow Price down to the gate and to the street. Price will kick open the gate after requesting some heavier firepower. Look left and you’ll see civilians running away from the enemies. Shoot the enemies down the street as you head down the stairs, to where the way-point is.
6. Use the cars for cover and take out any enemies on the street ahead and the balconies above. When you’re ready to move up, make a right into the alley way right after the burning building. There will be a lot of enemies here as well, as you follow the alley way. Take cover where you can find it and take shots at any enemies you see. The way-point is tantalizingly close.
7. Keep pushing forward and kill the wave of relentless enemies. When things look safe, follow the alley way down and make a right on the street to the way-point. Look up across the way and take out the enemies on the rooftop. Now follow Price down another path and be sure to take care of the two enemies. You’ll see more enemies past the gate, so it’s time to go another way.
8. Follow Price and crew through the building and head through the door once it’s breached. Keep following Price and you’ll reach the building with the UGV. Watch Price open the trap door, then head inside with him. He’ll open the crate with the unmanned ground vehicle. Now use the console by pressing “F” to control this beast.
9. The garage will open so press “W” to move through. “G” or the middle mouse button will fire off grenades and the “LMB” will fire the gun. Head left and take out the bad guys directly in front of you and the helicopter, highlighted in a red square, above you. Follow the road and mow down anyone shooting at you. It’s time to clean house.
10. Eventually you’ll reach an area where three helicopters will try to take you down. Tell them, not a chance. Then move forward and turn left as you cross another dirt road. Kill the next wave of enemies. When you reach the way-point, you’ll see the helicopter you need to protect on your left. Take out any hostile forces as they come toward the UGV. A helicopter will also make an appearance. When all is clear, you’ll see Price and Nikolai loading Soap inside the chopper. The UGV will then be disabled.
11. You’ll quickly change back to Yuri. It’s time to get to the chopper. Run the same path the UGV went through, but when you reach the scaffolding, it will explode and you’ll start sliding down the hill. Immediately slide left to avoid the collapsing house, then head slight right as you fall down into the water. Watch the rest as you hear the helicopter coming to your rescue.
“Who the hell is Yuri?”

Turbulence
1. You’re now Andre Harkov, a Russion FSO Agent protecting the Russian President. You’ll see the President and his daughter leave the office you’re in. Follow your fellow bodyguard as you see the President enter a meeting.
2. Soon after, gunfire will erupt and the door will breach, disorienting you. Luckily, it’s not too bad and you’ll get your chance to take out the enemies. When the enemies are down, follow your commander through the breached door. When you reach the next area, all the agents on the president’s side will be taking cover as the enemies appear. Use your pistol to clear the room or if you’ve taken another weapon, use that.
3. When you head about halfway through this room, the plane will hit some major turbulence. So much in fact, that you’ll be weightless for a small portion of the time. Take out the enemies as you’re simulating zero gravity as you move forward. When the plane gains it’s footing back, head down the stairs and take a 180 degree turn to clear the next room full of enemies.
4. Keep moving forward to the next way-point and eliminate any threats. You’ll then find the President’s daughter in the cargo hold. The President will then enter the room, but there’s still more danger ahead. The door with the blinking red light above it will now be opened, so head with your team through it and shoot the bad guys in the face in the next room. When you lose footing, that’s when the enemies will appear. Shoot as many as you can, then watch the explosive fireworks.
5. After waking up from blacking out, the plane has crashed and your commander will lead the way. Follow him as you head outside. You’ll see survivors under the falling snow. Keep following your commander through the crash site. You’ll hear a notice of incoming enemy troops. Run to the defending team as they start getting attacked by more enemies that come in vehicles. Take some weapons off the ground near the fire if you’re running low on ammo.
6. Go from cover to cover as you push forward. Take out the machine gunner up ahead. Personally, as I pushed ahead, I used the path to my left alongside the huge hanger. There are boxes there near the fence that I used for cover, plus it gave me a flanking position. As you thin out the enemies, you should see your commander move up as well. You’ll see more enemies pouring out from the broken side of the fenced in area.
7. Follow your commander there where the trees are located. Run to the way-point and you’ll finally see the president as well as the rescue helicopter. When the helicopter lands, open the door with “F”, but there’s a problem. Watch the rest of the cut-scene as we head to the next mission.

Back on the Grid
1. As you emerge from the muddy water as Yuri, you’re not alone as you see Soap, then Price rise up one after another. Follow Price and Soap as they move forward along the stream. Enemies in vehicles will start to drive by, so immediately crouch next to where Soap is.
2. When Price says “move”, follow his lead. After you crouch under the tree Price says there are two enemies that need to be taken out. Locate both of them and it’s up to you to shoot them both. Follow Price and Soap into the hut. When you exit, there will be a group of enemies about to torch a poor fellow. Take position and clear the group. One of them will attack Price, but that’s a bad idea.
3. Keep following Price and another convoy will drive in. Stay still and wait until they’re occupied to proceed. Run with the team and you’ll need to get off the road. Move off to the side and go prone in the foliage by pressing “LCTRL”. Another convoy will pass by. When it’s clear, head into another hut and wait out the troops. Exit the hut and make a left. Two enemies will be on a bridge. Take one out of your choosing as Soap takes out the other.
4. Move to the bridge and crouch underneath as you move ahead. You’ll soon reach the village. Wait until Price surprises an enemy to move forward. After Price opens the door, you’re tasked to climb the ladder and provide overwatch. When you reach the top, kill the sleeping guard by pressing “E”. Two enemies will appear directly in front of Soap and Price. Shoot them in quick succession.
5. Two more enemies will appear. Watch for movement to get a bead on them. Afterward, a group of three will start walking down the road at the farthest point, next to the building with the rusted colored roof. Price and Soap will then breach that building, but it’s empty.
6. Your position will soon be compromised. Quickly switch to your secondary weapon and run for Price. Take out any enemies along the way. When you reach the shack that Price and Soap are in, look down the road and push forward against the enemy wave and toward the way-point.
I like to gain the high ground, so as you move down the dirt road, look for the wooden stairs on the right. Climb them and kill anyone standing in your way. Make a left into the hut and use it’s protection to take out any bad guys you see. After you clear the area, follow Price as the path leads to a pair of ladders.
7. As you drop down into the pool of water, a technical will drive up. Take out the gunner, then man the .50 cal. Now, don’t be bashful. Hold the crap out of the “LMB” and shred the enemies to bits as they come. Sadly, the fun won’t last long as the technical will be hit by mortar fire. It’s time to run.
8. Follow Price and Soap as you narrowly escape the destructive mortar rounds. As you reach the wooden stairs, you’ll fall through the roof of one of the shacks. Get your gun ready and shoot the machete wielding maniac. Look down the road as well and take out another baddie.
9. Keep following Price as he mentions that mortars are in the tower up ahead. Take out the rooftop shooters. You can also take out the mortar guys from here. When they’re gone, get on the mortar by pressing “F”, aim at the ground, and blow away any ground troops and technicals that are looking to stop you.
10. Continue following Price as Soap opens up a grate into a pipe. Follow the path down as you head to the church. When you emerge, take cover and take out the bad guys from a distance. Run through a building and you’ll be met with gunfire from two buildings in front of you. Both have riflemen in the windows. Shoot them through the glass, then move up.
11. Turn right and kill the enemies down the road as you keep pressing forward. You’ll reach a building and Soap will open it. Head through the ruins and the church will be up ahead. Make a right into one of the buildings along the road that has stairs leading up. You can take a height and cover advantage here.
12. Move along the balcony toward the church, then jump down. Climb the stairs of the church and the doors will bust open. Be ready to fire on some men and dogs. If you search the church, you’ll find some intel on one of the tables by the wall on the left. Now head to the door where the way-point is and breach it with “F”.
13. A dog will grab hold of your arm, but your other hand will be free. Use it to shoot two enemies and eventually the crazy ass dog that has it’s jaws deeply plunged into your forearm, will bite the bullet. The cargo you were looking for has just escaped.

Mind the Gap
1. You’re now Sgt. Marcus Burns. The mission will begin with an aerial view, then zoom in from Burns’ perspective. Walk down the alley way and eliminate an enemy up ahead. Keep moving forward and head inside the door with the light above it. There are two clueless enemies here. Take them out before they know what hit them.
2. Head on back to the alley way and shoot the enemies that appear behind the windows. You’ll see another team enter that building. As you turn right, shoot the two enemies walking side by side. Keep moving forward and wait for your squad to open the double doors. Head up the stairs after you enter, then watch Wallcroft take out a guy as he rounds the corner.
3. Move ahead and turn left in the room where the windows are located. Neutralize the room to clear it. The room turns to the right. From there, head up the stairs. As you turn into the hallway, you’ll see the second team take out the unsuspecting enemies with their laser sights.
4. Chaos will then break loose. Run through the windows and head down street level. Take out the enemies in the area. Some of them will be using laser sights. There’s plenty of cover here. When the enemies are dead, run to the back of the truck and open it when the game prompts you to. Press “F” to open it. An explosion will occur and you’ll see more enemies pop out from the building on the right side using the catwalks.
5. Keep pushing forward when you get the chance toward the building the enemies were occupying. When you enter the garage doors, two bad guys will run down the stairs firing. Silence them. When you exit the building on the other side more hostiles will appear. Focus on them and take them out. Push ahead and drop down past the chain-link fence.
6. Drop down, then make a left. Eliminate the enemies in this area. I used the wall along the right side for cover as I kept moving up, positioning myself behind various porta-potties. The helicopter will help out here. Keep following the trail of bullets and you’ll enter an area with shipping containers full of bad guys. Maneuver your way through. Grab a gun if you’re running low on ammo.
7. Follow the team down the slope and shoot any stray enemies. You’ll see the subway running. Follow the way-point and enter the back of the truck with “F”. Aim for the enemies that you see emerging from the subway windows. The truck will weave in and out from track to track, so try to keep your aim steady. When the sequence is over the train will lose footing and violently crash.
8. You wake up and it’s just you and Wallcroft. Follow him through the tunnel wreckage. Shoot the enemies that happened to survive the crash, then take any out that appear in the long narrow hallway of the subway station. Take cover behind billboards and overturned vending machines. You’ll then reach a path that turns right and when you exit, civilians will be coupled with the bad guys. Aim carefully and proceed through the station.
9. Soon you’ll see the exit with a group of enemies going up the escalator. Take them out as they ascend, then climb the escalator yourself, but watch out for the two straggling enemies and a thrown grenade. Keep moving up to kill more enemies and you’ll reach another escalator. Take out more enemies here, then hop the gate and you’ll see the other team.
10. Head toward the surface an join the barricade for the speeding truck. Shoot it and it will tip over. But there’s a problem.
11. This little micro-mission is called “Davis Family Vacation”. You’re a father and a husband with a camcorder filming your wife and daughter as you walk down the sidewalk. Move forward if you like. You can even zoom in by pressing the “RMB”. You’ll see one of the trucks park dangerously close to you.

Goalpost
1. When you drop down, move along the beach and follow Sandman as you move from cover to cover using rocks. You’ll soon reach the wall and smoke will be thrown. Move up to see the street and kill any incoming enemies. When you reach the barbed wire, shoot the enemies down the road. Afterward, turn right toward the way-point.
2. Use the brick wall for cover and cap some enemies in the dug out encampment. The next way-point should now be visible. I moved along the right side of the street, since it provided a lot of places to hide. Slowly move up and take any shots at any bad guys who is willing to pop his head out. Push forward. I stayed the course and followed the brick wall on my right side. As you move ahead, the brick wall on the right side will be broken. Drop down here to flank, plus you’ll get a good view of the enemies.
3. You’ll need to turn into the street that moves you left, but stay on the right side for now where there are more brick walls, to surprise the enemy. There will be a swarm that arrives, but you’ll have a bead on them. Keep following the brick wall by keeping it to your right, and enter the grassy area with the tree. Immediately look to your left and there’s some intel you can pick up on the table. Now move out to the street and shoot the enemies in the back.
4. The way-point will now be focused on the tank. Regroup with it. Unfortunately the gunner on the tank will be hit with sniper fire, so it’s up to you to man it now. Get close to the tank and press “F” to man the gun. The gun can overheat, so watch the meter on the right. Mow down the enemies down the street. The tank then starts to move down the road. You’ll see the enemies go down into the garage. Shoot them as they enter, then you’ll also enter the garage.
5. Shoot all the hostiles in the garage. Use the cars for explosive devices. When you reach a path, the other tank will go first. More enemies will appear. Eliminate them. But when both tanks climb up the ramp, yours will crash down several floors. It’s on foot from here.
6. Follow Sandman to find an exit from the parking garage. Kill all the enemies that block your path out. Follow Sandman to street level and turn right. You’ll see a swarm of enemies. Push forward down the street, but stay on the right side. There’s a window you can enter that’s behind some crates. Enter the building and stay in there while you fend off any enemies inside. Keep moving up ahead, then exit the building after a little while, with your squad.
7. Stick to the right and hug the brick wall. Move forward as you blast away enemies and the road will turn right. You’ll see the convoy, but enemies will be surrounding it. Take them out, then look around for any survivors.
8. Follow Sandman into the adjacent building and head up the stairs. You’ll see an enemy enter a room. Time to breach with your squad. When you’re ready, press “F” to plant a breaching charge and eliminate any enemies inside. You’ve just rescued the vice president. Now watch the rest as we go back to Price, Soap and Yuri.

Return to Sender
1. With a sandstorm fast approaching you need to find out where Makarov is. You start off in a jeep, blazing down a beach with Price driving and Soap riding shotgun. Both jeeps will ram a gate open. Afterward you’re on foot. Take cover and push through the port. There are a ton of enemies here, and eventually Nikolai will provide air support, but you’ll be the one manning the remote turret.
2. Press “4″ to activate it and you’ll be in a top down view over-looking the action. Shoot all the enemies highlighted in red squares. The area will be clear for now, so move up the road following Price. Price will walk along a ramp that leads inside a building. Take out the enemies here and use this building to take shots from the window. Eventually, you’ll take control of the turret again. Activate it and eliminate all the threats you see.
3. When all is clear, follow Price to the way-point into the target building. Move along the hallways and up the stairs while still following Price. Neutralize any enemies you see as you push forward. You’ll soon reach a door you need to breach. Take out the enemies around the person of interest, Waraabe with a big “Capture” sign over him. Time to have a little chat.
4. The sandstorm is almost here after talking with Waraabe. Follow Price and head up the road along the coast. You’ll see the helicopter for exfil, but things won’t be that easy. Take cover, get out of the open, and eliminate the threats along the road, and on the rooftops. You’re timed here, so keep pushing forward and take the road on the right. More rooftop and balcony enemies will be up ahead.
5. Keep moving and you’ll be faced with a technical. Eliminate the gunner, move up, and shoot the enemies on the rooftops and balconies. Follow Price and you’ll see the extraction point, on top of a building under construction. And because of the wind, will need more construction.
6. Head inside the building and shoot any enemy that moves. You’ll need to clear each floor until you make it to the top. The landing zone will be hot, so press “4″ to man the remote turret once again. Unfortunately, Nikolai will be hit. The helicopter will head straight for you, so turn around and jump on the rope. Time to save Nikolai in the midst of the sandstorm.
7. Follow Price through the streets and eliminate any enemies you see. They’re usually easy to spot since you can see their silhouette in front of either fires or headlights. Push ahead with your squad and you’ll eventually see the way-point that leads to Nikolai. Shoot some enemies for a bit and after some talking, grab Nikolai with “F”, then keep following the way-points until it’s mission over.

Bag and Drag
1. When you reach the rooftop via helicopter, follow Sandman and Grinch as they head through the ruined building. Sandman will move some rubble along the way to create a path through. When you reach the way-point and head down the stairs, you’ll be fired on. Time to go loud.
2. Move down the stairs and follow the way-point to the bookstore. Clear the bookstore as you push forward and climb the stairs. As you head up, there will be another set of stairs that lead down. Follow your team and they’ll open some double doors into an alley. You’ll meet Sabre and crew. Follow them through the building and take out the enemies as you exit.
3. When you reach the street, look for the building with the red/orange canopy. Enter it to find some intel and use it to provide yourself with ample cover. Also, don’t forget to take out the RPG on the top of the stairs. When all is clear, follow Sabre through the building up the stairs and shoot the enemies through the windows. Keep following Sabre. You’ll reach stairs that head down onto the street with a huge cluster of enemies in your way.
4. It’s fire mission time. You’ll be given some smoke to throw. Press “4″ to equip it and “LMB” to throw it. Toss it where the enemies are and air support will do the rest. Keep following the team and head right up some stairs. A helicopter will drop troops and a tank will also be in the vicinity. Drop some smoke again and let air support do their thing.
5. When all enemies have been cleared follow Sabre and you’ll head down the sewer into the catacombs. Press “F” to climb down. Watch the cut-scene and after the game loads, you’ll be in control of Frost once again.
6. Follow Sandman and Sabre through the sewers and you’ll eventually reach the catacombs. Once Sabre gets attacked, it’s time go loud. You’ll be blinded as you move up, but you’ll see Volk. Clear the tunnels as you chase after Volk. You’ll reach a ladder and then a set of stairs. Don’t let him get too far of he’ll escape. The stairs will lead outside and you’ll see Volk enter a gray sedan. Clear the way of enemies, run to the blue van, and enter the passenger side.
7. At one point you’ll move to the rear of the van where humvees, troops, tanks, and a helicopter will chase after you. Shoot them all. When this sequence is over, you’ll move back to the passenger side and gain some distance on Volk. Shoot the tires and you’ll hit the gray sedan and a slow motion sequence will ensue. Shoot the enemy in the backseat. When the car stops, Volk will be bagged.

Iron Lady
1. You have Volk, but he still needs to be extracted. Run to the Osprey, but unfortunately it’ll be taken down. When it lands, you’ll be transported above for air support. Use “1″ and “2″ to switch between weapons and attack anything that has a red square. Friendlies will be in white diamonds. Provide support for them as they run down the streets. Do not hit any buildings, yet.
2. Eventually the team will come across a building with RPG troops holed up inside. Wait until confirmation then choose the 105mm to blow a hole in the building. Warhammer will get fired on, and from here you’ll be transported back as Frost.
3. The team will be under fire. Take the stairs up to your left to get flanking position and kill anyone in the hallway. Follow the corridor and you should see the machine gun. Use the sniper rifle on the table and take him out. Jump down and clear the area around the monument. Use the monument as a stronghold. There will be enemies on the balconies as well.
4. A tank will then bust in. Equip the smoke canister by pressing “4″, then throw it at the enemies. When the area has been cleared, it’s back up to Warhammer. Shoot all the enemies highlighted in red to carve a path for the team down below. They’ll eventually start riding vehicles. Shoot any vehicle that trails the ground team. Use the 25mm to destroy the enemy birds. The team will then come up on the bridge where you’ll now have to fight again on foot, versus tanks.
5. Immediately grab the javelin and destroy the two tanks on the bridge. Zoom in with “RMB” then wait for the square to lock on. Fire when it’s ready. There are a lot of troops on the bridge, but you’ll be given the smoke canister again. Use it when you see a lot of enemies. Keep pushing forward as the Eiffel Tower gets closer. You’ll then reach an area where you can’t push anymore. It’s all about survival now.
6. Eventually you will prevail as you see the tower collapse. The little birds will fly in and land. Run up to the helicopter with the way-point and climb aboard.

Scorched Earth
1. You wake up in a daze as Frost. Follow Sandman and we’ll re-live the events that happened 20 minutes in the past. You’re now in a helicopter about to touch down on a rooftop.

T-90s will then be firing on Granite’s position down on the road. You’ll request a fire mission that will be given the green light.

Down the Rabbit Hole
1. The whole squad is here as you’re all in an elevator going down. The door will open and the team will take out the first two guards. A RPG will hit the elevator, but everyone will be okay. Turn on your NVG and shoot at the incoming enemies. When the enemies thin out, hop out of the elevator and press forward. Move up with the team as you cross the mine.
2. Follow Price down one of the paths and eliminate all the enemies that you see. The team will reach a metal door that Truck will pry open. Shoot the enemies up the stairs. When you reach the top, move left into the smaller room to take out the enemies from the side. When you’re at an advantage, hop out into the tunnel and push the enemies back. Follow the team through the doorway and up the staircase.
3. You’ll reach a pair of double doors. which will need opening. Once it’s open, it leads outside and four enemies won’t be expecting you. Head outside into the snow and shoot any enemies you see by the railing. Drop down the railing where you see a little ramp that will slide you down. Keep moving forward in this wide open area as you take out a massive amount of enemies. Remember, you have the Predator drone at your disposal, so use it as you see fit.
4. As you press forward, take some cover here as the drone will be taken out of commission. I recommend heading left into the cargo containers. As you take out the bad guys, eventually a missile will hit the side of building and create an entrance for the team. Run inside quickly and follow Price. You’ll enter a tunnel. Take out the enemies that are trying to get up. You’ll then reach a door you need to breach. Press “F” to breach it and you’ll find the president’s daughter.
5. The team will open up another set of double doors that lead deeper into the mine. As you move ahead, you’re able to see the president. Slide down with the team and take out the enemies on the metal bridge. Group up with the squad and rappel down to the bottom.
6. Fight your way through and neutralize any snipers, RPGers and ground troops. Try to flank them to get a better position. Move ahead and you’ll reach a door that just can’t be breached, but Price has an idea. Climb the stairs above the room and press “F” to place a breaching charge.
7. The ceiling will collapse inside the room and you’ll be in slow motion. Take out the guy holding the president hostage with a sweet headshot, then take out the rest. Now it’s time to protect the president and get the hell out of there. Follow the team to the railing and wait for extraction.
8. Use the machine gun if you would like and hold out until they arrive. When they do, make a mad dash to the helicopters, but as you get close, you’ll black out for a bit. When you wake up, you’ll be dragged to the chopper as you fend off a huge wave of enemies. You’ll be able to shoot as you’re dragged. Keep shooting until the president grabs your hand. Watch the rest of the cut-scene.
