Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Achievement Guide

Here is an achievement guide to Modern Warfare 2, hopefully I can help you root out those last few achievements you may have been having trouble with. First, the majority of the achievements come from just beating the game (which as it is so short, about 6 hours, is not a big deal) and still more come from beating the game and individual levels on different difficulties, so I am not going to cover those. Instead I am going to focus on the more tricky achievements which are not always apparent.

First is “Ghost,” a pretty simple achievement, all you have to do is plant the C4 in the level “Cliff Hanger” without alerting or injuring anyone. This if done properly is not a difficult achievement, just one which you need plenty of patience for. The snow storm will cover you for most of the level, but the real key to succeeding is to make use of the heartbeat monitor on your gun. This is going to be your best friend if you want to unlock this achievement. Beyond that, just take the level really slow and if you have to repeat level, just try to keep in mind when and where your enemies are going to be.

Another called “Pit Boss,” is also really simple, just run the pit in the first level (the basic training area with the cutouts you need to shoot) in under thirty seconds. This is not an easy accomplishment, but it can be done with practice. One of the not so obvious but fun achievements is “Col. Sanderson.” Real easy, you just need to kill seven chickens in less than ten seconds in the level The Hornet’s Nest. This sounds tough, but there are a lot of chickens near each other and the achievement’s difficulty comes more from not being apparent. The last one I am going to touch on is the “No Rest For the Wary” achievement. Again, a real easy but not apparent achievement, you just need to knife an enemy without him ever being aware of your presence, and the best place to do this is in the snow blizzard on the Cliffhanger level (but if you do this here you can’t achieve the Ghost achievement), there is a sleeping guard in a shack who is really easy to take out.

I just want to note that beyond these achievements I have listed, the rest come from excelling in the special ops portion of the game and just trying to kill as many people as you can with as few shots as possible, and using every type of weapon. My advice here, is that when you have the predator drone, use it as much as you can before you lose it, it will help you get a couple of achievements. Also don’t be afraid to use the attachments to your guns, switching weapons often and dual wielding as there are achievements for those as well.
