Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Loose Ends Guide

This is a guide to one of the more difficult levels in Modern Warfare 2. This level you take control of Roach as you assault the safe house of Makarov. You start off sneaking up through a minefield filled with bouncing Betty’s, when the land mine comes up into the air you need to lay prone to survive. Fortunately this is the only time you face land mines. Next you are going to be fighting off a whole bunch of heavily armed soldiers in thick smokescreen, use this to your advantage, but be aware that the enemies have mortar support, but if you stay low and take out as many soldiers as you can as quietly as possible you should be able to move through this part of the level with little difficulty.

The next key part of this level is to raid the safe house and eliminate all enemy forces there. This is a wonderful little place to stock up on ammo and supplies. I suggest walking around and assessing every weak point or difficult to cover point in the house as this will be essential knowledge later in the level. Now before progressing the level further, go out to these points and put claymores (in areas such as the driveway and doorways) then go restock before continuing the level.

Once you are ready, begin the download of files from Makarov’s computer, for the rest of the level you will have to protect the download. This is rather difficult; there is an infinite respawn of enemies while the files are downloading. I suggest staying near the computer in the large living room area as you can get a full view of any enemy closing in on you. Also whenever you can go and restock your ammo and weapons and lay more traps for the enemies. Ultimately this is just a battle of attrition and you really just need to keep an eye on the download progress and as soon as it is done get out of that house. From here, just keep an eye on your health and make it to the helicopter. Not a very long or complex level, but there are lots of enemies hiding in places which are not easy to shoot at and the download process takes a pretty long time, but if you have adequately prepared you will do fine. Also as a last note, when the game tells you to set claymores at the driveway, don’t do it then. The drive way will be crawling with enemies and the side of the house will be being assaulted as well, it is suicidal to try and put claymores down during the waves of attack when the game is telling you to do so. It is okay to let the enemies get to you, they have only two ways in the house and you can keep an eye on both as they both are choke points and not wide open space where you have not protection like outside the house.

Android Game – Build-A-Lot Tips and Tricks – Glu Mobile

The cost, in my opinion, is well worth it.

Build-A-Lot features two play styles, casual and career. For the purpose of learning, you might think that the career game-style would be best, and you’d probably be right. However, I learn best by doing. This is why I started first with the casual game-style. The casual game-style give you free reign to achieve your goals, allowing you to do whatever is necessary. Unlike the career game-style that gives you specific goals that you must achieve, and specific tools with which to achieve them. I’ll talk more about the two game-styles a little later. Primarily, I wanted to write a Build-A-Lot tips and tricks blog post to let everyone know what the buildings in Build-A-Lot do. While some buildings provide you with passive bonus, others can do multiple things. So please, read on to get some more about the Build-A-Lot tips and tricks for game-styles (strategies) and Build-A-Lot Buildings tips and tricks.

Build-A-Lot Tips and Tricks: Casual Game-Style

As you might have guessed, the casual game-style is just as it sounds, casual. But don’t think it’s a walk in the park. While it is casual, there is still a requirement.. you just don’t have to reach your goal in a set amount of time. Also, some of the game features aren’t enabled. For instance, your houses don’t get taxed. I don’t know if this is unique to the lower levels or not, however.

In the casual game-style for Build-A-Lot, there are 6 different modes:

River Glen
Money Goal: $1,000,000

Evergreen Park
Money Goal: $2,500,000

Lakeside
Money Goal: $5,000,000

Granite Springs
Money Goal: $10,000,000

Summit Ridge
Money Goal: $25,000,000

Palm Grove
Money Goal: $50,000,000

My Build-A-Lot tips and tricks for the casual game-style are fairly basic: have fun. You don’t really have anything to worry about, so just do what you want. If you want to make $50 million using only ramblers,

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.
