Riot shield defense

While the riot shield is equipped to one of your classes, you can have defense from the rear when you are holding your secondary weapon. You can now change the direction of defense with your riot shield. This is useful in narrow corridors and stairwells.

Faster reloads

When in combat and you need to reload, it is much faster to switch to a pistol or shotgun.

Cooking grenades

Hold your grenades for two seconds before throwing them. This will prevent enemies from having enough time to throw them back at you.

Using teammates

You will almost always have several allied team members on your side throughout the game. The teammates that are invincible are Dunn, Ghost, Foley, Makarov, MacTavish, and Price. Always let them lead the way during battle. While your other teammates can die, they will usually be replaced by reinforcements. Although it is slower, it is much safer to let your teammates lead the way, especially when you are low on health and need to heal.

Make a trap

First, go online and set your killstreaks to one or more of the following: Care Package, Sentry Gun, or an Emergency Airdrop. Then, go into a session and get the killstreak. Once done, get into a good hiding spot. Throw your red smoke grenade (killstreak) somewhere where you will be able to see it. Then, wait for an enemy to attempt to steal your killstreak but miserably fail. Alternately, if you have unlocked claymores, you can throw your red smoke grenade (killstreak) and set a claymore by it. It is a good way to get a lot of points.

"Endgame": Nazi trucks

Select Campaign mode and play "Endgame" in Act 3. After exiting the caves during the speedboat chase, notice the village on the hills to the left coast. You can find a Nazi truck from Call Of Duty 2 behind a low wall near a pontoon and another one farther down at a jetty. Note: You will lose Shepherd by stopping to find the trucks.

"Endgame": Shepherd comments

• When at the end of the last mission, when you are supposed to kill Shepherd with the knife, after the helicopter crashes stand next to him but do not kill him. After some time, he will begin to say things such as "You know killing me won't change anything" or "You're a good warrior", trying to persuade you not to kill him.
  
  
• During the final mission where you must follow Shepherd and attempt to stab him while dazed, do not go near him while he lays against the car. He will say one sentence at a time, slowly, and his final sentence will be "But you were never willing to do what must be done" or something similar. Note: If you get too close to Shepherd, he will smack you against the car. If you go too far, he will cut the speech short.

"Estate": Infinity Ward Gamestation

Select Multi-player mode and the "Estate" map. Search the home theater to find an Infinity Ward Gamestation 5 game console.

"Evasion" Spec. Ops mission: "3 Star" rank

At the very start of the mission, run forward until you see the crosses or about four or five seconds in. Go to the right side against the fence and get prone. You must do this fast so the guards do not see that you are advancing toward your beginning position. Remain prone until four guards pass by. You can crawl to a better position to view the advancing guards if desired. You can get up and continue to the right after the fourth guard passes, but stay along the fence. Then, run and go under a pipeline. If you stop and look to the left where the pipeline goes, you will see a few guards; just ignore them. Move slowly and continue to the right. You will soon encounter a guard and a dog that will come up the path to the left. If you run, then you will not see the guard. There will be another path to the left with two guards on the far side of it. Ignore this path and continue a few more steps to get beside a tree in the middle of your current path. From this tree position, you will be able to snipe those two guards. Before rushing onward, make sure to take out the guard and his dog in a small clearing to the left. You must advance slightly along the fence for a clear shot. Once that is taken care of, you can now continue past the two guards you just sniped. Get prone a few steps ahead of them. There will be a small clearing. A patrol consisting of three guards and two dogs will pass by. Slowly follow after the last guard, but make sure you keep your distance or risk them seeing you. After a short distance down the path, there will be one guard and a dog stopped just past the pipeline, but on the path. Wait for them to leave before moving ahead. After a few more steps, get prone and wait for another guard and his dog to leave as well, but stay close to the pipeline. There will be a guard walking to your left as well going toward where you came from. Once those guards leave the area, crouch down and sneak up the bank of snow and go underneath the large pipeline. Once you move ahead enough following the pipeline, you should see two guards at the top of the hill in front of you, just after the pipeline turns to your right. Quickly snipe them and move up the hill to their position. Once on top of this hill you will see your green smoke and can quickly slide down the other side to complete the mission.
