Single Player: Walkthroughs & Tips

Gameplay
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 consists of four skill levels, with Veteran being the most difficult and at this level gamers are awarded the majority of the game's achievements. Gamers select desired difficulty level at the end of the first mission. Once selected, the difficulty level affects mission time limits and how many times they will be struck by enemy fire with each gunshot. The tutorial serves as a gauge of the gamers recommended difficulty level.


The four levels are:

■Recruit
■Regular
■Hardened
■Veteran

The following text and video walk-through covers each of the game's 19 missions including those performed by the two special forces units: Task Force 141 and the US Army Rangers.


Each new mission is unlocked once the previous one has been successfully completed. This prevents missions from being skipped. The one exception is the No Russian mission. Due to the nature of the mission, gamers will be asked the first time they begin game-play if they would like to skip this mission. Skipping this mission will not impact achievements or game completion.
