It does not help the situation that you have to drive over it during the snowmobile chase part of the level either.

To give you an indication where this tricky-to-spot Intel is located, it's about 1800 meters away from your goal, so it's relatively early during the course.

To stand the best chance of getting the intel, slow down a lot when you are about 1900 meters away from the final destination and you'll soom arrive at a small fence placed horizontally, there is also a hut on the hill to the right.

Secret room in Karachi

In the diner in Karachi beside bomb (A) you will notice some umbrella's outside the diner. From inside the diner you are able to jump on a table then smash a window with your knife witch will allow you to crouch and move out through the window, when you get to a certain point it will allow you to stand while still on window then you jump outwards towards an umbrella you should land on top of it then you will be facing the building. Ok so it probably looks pretty solid but there is a certain point where you jump to which will allow you to get above the ceiling of the diner in a secret room .

P.S please note this takes a couple of try's do please don't give up on the first go. And also rate this submission


Fast Coldbloded pro perk

Start the match with a launcher and an LMG make sure you set your perk coldclooded. When an enenmy calls any attack hellicopter blow it up with the launcher and as it is falling shoot it with your LMG and every bullet that hits the helicopter while falling counts as a clodblooded kill!


Get cold blooded pro quik and easy

Ok this is my first post, plz rate, ok an easy way to get cold blooded pro is out n a strong lmg with the AT4 as you're secondary and go to cage match wit a friend and get them to use pavelow, wen they call in the pavelow shoot it ONCE wit the AT4 and then shoot it with you're lmg wen it blows up it will spin outta control and while it's spinnin out of bounds shoot it with cold blooded on and evry time you hit it ull get a killstreak destroyd for cold blooded enjoy the cheat Smile


Last Stand

This is only effective in Team Deathmatch. When you are on Last Stand and about to die, use a semtex [flash bangs are also exceptional] near you which will kill you even though you will die anyways but instead of giving the 100 points to the other team, you save your team from one kill and trust me, every kill counts.


See through smoke without thermal

If there is any glass, look through it into smoke. If it doesn't work then break the glass. And, Bon Appetit! You look through the smoke.


Get Goodbye!

When playing Rust, jump off the top/ When playing Quarry, Go to the ledge around the watch tower and right next to the stairs that lead up into a building and where a panel connects to the watch tower and jump of near the stairs but don't land on the stairs.


Intervention helper

If you use the intervention it's hard to keep going up and ack down.

So the trick is to is to shoot then stop aiming down sight

Remember shoot and then stop aiming down sight


Equipment glitch

If you stick an equipment like C4 or throwing knife to a window, and then destroy the window without hitting the equipment, the equipment will float in the air.


Playing Dead (Online)

This is a maneuver in the game that can really save you at times. If you want to make it look like your character is dead on the ground, go into prone and rapidly press the triangle button, it will minimize the amount of movement your character usually does while in prone and it makes it much harder for enemies to pinpoint your position. After you're done hiding, go ahead and stop tapping triangle. Another little tip going along with it, is if you're afraid of being spotted, very slowly move your character while doing it.


Juggernaut

Try to get head shots against juggernauts.

Also use High-caliber weapons, such as the Desert Eagle and Barret 50. Caliber.


Knives

When using the throwing knife any hit on the body of your target is a kill (default health)

How to get a desert eagle akimo

In takedown after you pass the little village. when you kill the milittia go behind the green house there is a little stairway. In front of it you will see a desert eagle. Get near it and you will see the icon saying DESERT EAGLE AKIMBO


How to get on building roof on Highrise

If you go to the side of the building closest to the helicopter you will see a lift for window washers hanging. You have to jump on the side railing of it, and when you do you climb to the top and continue on to the other side of the building on the little ledge that sticks out of the building. If you go to the other side there will be another lift you have to get on that and jump on the next ledge of the building and go to the top of the building. It will take time but ive done it 5 times its not that hard if you try alot enjoy its a great sniping spot i went up 10 lvls thx 2 that spot


Go on the crane!

In the [online] level where you are up high from the ground on a building where there's a higher helicopter on a helipad higher up on the building that most people use, theres a builing that a rope is holding wood up that you can jump onto thats above the ground not the building, and the building's also on the side where the crane is. Anyways, jump onto the wood and head to the crane. It wont say press X to jump over but press X anyways. Now, you're on the crane!


On building you start inside and are able to come back in at Hig

(Marathon recommended) You can go onto the very top of the building you start inside and are able to come back in at Highrise, by 1st finding the thing that people stand on to wash windows and stuff, and it's hanging by one cable and almost sideways, 2nd, going on the higher block thing that outlines the edge, 3rd, dashing across it and jumping at the thing hanging sideways, 4th, as you make contact, stop completly, and 5th, climb up and you will stand on top, 6th, walk across the thing that sticks out of the building and you'll see another of those things that was hanging sideways but crooked this time, 7th, climb over the railing onto and across it, 8th, climb over onto the building ledge and walk over to the wider area and you see...- Teddy bears??? Ha! Perfect sniping spot! (P.S: It ..


Silencers

Ok most of you probably know this but:

Silencers do NOT reduce range as all weapons except shotguns have infinite range.

They reduce the speed at which your bullet will have it's damage decreased.

So on your UMP it's minimal damage is 35 at long range. With a silencer it's damage will reduce faster so you may be doing 35 damage at mid range instead.

Except for snipers

Their base damage is reduced to 50.

So without Stopping Power they can only OHKO with a headshot.

Shotgun range is reduced


Intervention trick

Have a handgun for your secondary and when you are using your Intervention, double tap triangle fast so it gives it that curve trick (right to left movement). It usually helps keep your bullet straight when you are trying to scope.


Underneath crane in highrise

you can get underneath the crane in highrise by finding the conrol booth underneath the walk way. you would then edge your way to the closest bar and start edging your way off the plank. when you drop quickly turn back to the control box and you will stick to the edge. Voula


Museum from Hell

Now you may or may not know this, but the Museum(the level unlocked after you beat the game for those of you who don't have it yet) is haunted. Yes, haunted. Sort of. Not really. Anyway, to activate the spirits you simply have to walk up to the information desk, find the red button that say "do NOT press square" and- what else!?- press square. Every single model in the room you pressed square in will come to life and attack you, excluding the divers who can't get out of their tank, and the hostages of course. This includes the dog and riot shielders. You can kill them while their alive too. If you want to survive this onslaught I recommend you pick up a riot shield to cover your escape from the room- you"ll want to take cove past the information desk in the vehicle room- and grab a power..
