Special Ops Walkthrough & Tips Guide


Recommended Posts

In order for you get all 69 stars, you have to complete all of these missions on veteran mode. I would advise you to have a partner for these, just to make things easier on the both of you. Use the Special Ops Boosting thread to find you one. These missions can also be done solo, if you don't want a partner.

 

There are 23 missions you have to complete. 5 in Alpha, 5 in Bravo, 5 in Charlie, 5 in Delta, and 3 in Echo.

 

Alpha Missions

 

1. The Pit

- Clear all of the enemy targets as fast as possible. Shooting civilians will prevent you from getting 3 stars.

*Complete the course.

**Under 45 seconds.

***Under 35 seconds.

Grab the pistol to replace your automatic weapon, and make sure you use 1 bullet to hit each target, just so you won't run out of bullets quickly.

 

2. Sniper Fi

- User sniper rifles, claymores and Predator Drones to hold off waves of enemies.

*3 Waves of infantry, 1 Jeep, 1 Truck

**4 Waves of infantry, 2 Jeeps, 1 Truck

***5 Waves of infantry, 3 Jeeps, 2 Trucks

If your the person that has the Predator Drone, make sure that you use it on the Jeeps & Trucks first, before wiping out the rest of the enemies. Take advantage of this, because you get to use it every 30-60 seconds

 

3. O Cristo Redentor

- Hunt down an eliminate the Favela gang. Minimize civilian casualties.

*30 Enemies, 6 Civilian casualties maximum.

**40 Enemies and Dogs, 4 Civilian casualties.

***50 Enemies and Dogs, 3 Civilian casualties.

If you have a partner for this, make sure that the both of you are close by each other. Also, the dogs come in two, at every time you kill 3-5 enemies. So make sure your volume is turned up to hear their barks getting louder towards you.

 

4. Evasion

- Use silenced sniper rifles and cunning to slip past the enemy patrols.

Make sure you are on the lookout for every enemy in front, the sides, and behind you, incase you missed one.

 

5. Suspension

- Push through the invading forces on the bridge to reach the safe zone.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPfCVfwGbns]YouTube - Modern Warfare 2 - Spec Ops Veteran Difficulty - Suspension[/ame]

Use the destroyed cars for cover (of course). Don't throw grenades, unless your holding it for a good 3 seconds before you throw it. You don't want to throw it and it rolls back down to where your at. Also, when you get close to the end, make sure you pick up an RPG, and take out the helicopter first.

 

Bravo Missions

 

6. Overwatch

- Rain death from above using an AC-130 gunship to protect your partner.

This video is shown when your on the ground. Watch out for enemies inside the houses that a couple don't leave out of.

This video is shown when you choose to be in the AC-130. I would choose to use the 40 mm first and start shooting up the place for a good while, then switch back to the 105 mm and shoot at a group of enemies and the helicopters dropping off the enemies.

 

7. Body Count

- Rack up a large enough body count. Quick kills earn larger bonuses.

This video is posted in this guide just in case things don't go your way in the video shown above this one.

 

8. Bomb Squad

- Race through the Favela marketplace defusing the explosives before its too late.

 

Credit goes to Q8Punk for the video.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRnaAx0dlXI]YouTube - Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops: Bomb Squad on Veteran[/ame]

Make sure that you start off by defusing the bombs that is closes to you. You don't necessarily have to rush quickly just to complete this. Take your time, but speed it up a bit, just so you can defuse the bombs on time.

 

9. Race

- Speed your snowmobile down the mountain, dodging trees, rocks and thousand foot drops

* Finish in 2 minutes.

**Finish in 90 seconds.

***Finish in 70 seconds.

I don't think I need to explain this one. Just beat it in under 70 seconds for all 3 stars.

 

10. Big Brother

- Explosive ammunition, Vulcan Minigun, Blackhawk Helicopter. Clear the way.

This video is shown in when you choose to be in the helicopter with the minigun. Hold the L1 button to slow down the helicopter, so you can wipe out the enemies, giving your partner a better chance to reach the end.

This video is shown when your on the ground. Watch out for enemies near the bank side at the end. There are a few that try flank you from behind, so be on the lookout for them.

Charlie Missions

 

11. Hidden

- Evade enemey patrols and Ghillie Snipers near Chernobyl.

Don't rush your way across the field, because you will get sniped down. Take your time looking out for enemies that blend in with the grass and use the tanks for cover. Also, stay out of the radiation area, since it will slow you down and kill you if your too deep into it.

 

12. Breach & Clear

- Smash through enemy defenses in the Gulag and escape.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvLasU9KrYE]YouTube - Modern Warfare 2 - Spec Ops Veteran Difficulty - Breach & Clear[/ame]

Once you've cleared the enemies in the first set, and a little bit in the second set. Once you see the guys with the riot shields come out, throw a flashbang and run right past them all the way to the end. If that doesn't go your way and you die, you can try again, or you can sit there and try to take them out.

 

13. Time Trial

- Launch your snowmobile across the chasm before time runs out. Hit the flag gates to get extra time.

This can be done easier with a partner, just in case your away ahead of your partner and you missed some flags, they can run through them and add more seconds to the time, making it a bit easier to finish.

 

14. Homeland Security

- Sentry guns, Thermal sights, Rocket launchers and Claymores. Defend yourself from five difficult waves of attackers.

Save your Sentry Guns until the 3rd or 4th wave. It'll make it easier for you, because the enemies will steadily rush in to where your at and try to take you down.

 

15. Snatch & Grab

- Battle Shadow Company and Juggernauts in the airplane graveyard. Grab the intel and escape to the extraction point.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3BFUgpKPC8]YouTube - Snatch & Grab - Spec Ops Charlie 3* Solo[/ame]

The enemies hit and run on you, so don't expect to look for the enemy in the same one spot you got hit from, because he won't be there anymore. Take your time completing this mission and when you jump down from the plane, be quick to move forward, because a few troopers and a juggernaut will get you from behind.

 

Delta Missions

 

16. Wardriving

- Laze targets for the Stryker armored vehicle. Battle in the 'burbs house to house, room to room.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNOyA4WOQuI]YouTube- MW2 Spec Ops "Wardriving" Veteran Guide[/ame]

 

Leave House #1 the last place to download the files. I say this because, you can be closer to the Stryker once it has moved back to the beginning and you wouldn't have to face the enemies coming out of a house near #3. Try and keep your Sentry Guns from being destroyed by the enemies, so that way you can use them in the next house and so on.

 

17. Wreckage

- Use C4, grenade launchers, RPGs, sentry guns, semtex and more to destroy every vehicle on the bridge.

 

Credit goes to Penacence for the video.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vfT7HAXBNM]YouTube - Modern Warfare 2 Spec-Ops (Delta) Wreckage (Splitscreen gameplay) - PS3[/ame]

All you have to do is destroy the vehicles on the bridge. Chain reaction or quick-destroying ones, will give you an infinite ammo for an amount of time. Keep destroying them while killing enemies to boost your time up.

 

18. Acceptable Losses

- Sabotage the remote airbase with your silenced weapons and heartbeat sensor.

 

Credit goes to Mr360Games for the video.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J1C9y6S53E]YouTube - MW2 Spec Ops Acceptable Losses Guide[/ame]

For people with partners, I would choose one person to pick up the sniper rifle, and the other to pick up the AK-47, or any weapon of your choice. Kill the enemies without trying to alert any of them.

 

19. Terminal

- Pummel your way through enemy riot shield ambushes.

 

Credit goes to Danstreet123 for the video.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdNbWciHtyw]YouTube - MW 2 Spec Ops - Delta : Terminal On Veteran[/ame]

Don't turn your back on the enemies when you have the riot shield on you. Take your time beating them down with it, and use your grenades and flashbangs as an advantage as you move forward.

 

20. Estate Takedown

- Eliminate Ghillie Snipers, Elite Mercenaries and Juggernauts guarding the estate.

You don't necessarily have to follow instructions on most of these videos. For this one, you can stay outside and snipe everyone, and then run in the house to get ammo. There are at least 4-5 Juggernauts on this level, so make sure you are quick to snipe them down fast.

Echo Missions

 

21. Wetwork

- Breach and clear two deadly rooms full fo enemies and hostages to capture the oil rig.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__bW5-u4k9Q]YouTube - MW2 Spec Ops "WetWork" Veteran Guide[/ame]

Try and go for headshots when breach & clearing the rooms. Do not rush it, or you will fail the mission and have to start all over again.

 

22. High Explosive

- Kill all ten Juggernauts using only explosives and a knife. You'd be insane to even try this.

Do the same strategy as the video above, and guarantee you will beat this level with ease.

 

23. Armor Piercing

- Kill all fifteen Juggernauts on the oil rig. This probably isn't even possible.

While I'm all for self-exploration and discovery... not everyone has 5 hours (or more) to spend trying to complete 1 single Spec Ops mission. I think I read that another poster spent 12 hours trying to beat WetWork or something. When it comes to efficient use of time I firmly believe guides and help threads are essential to keeping the fun-meter up where it should be. Frustration leads to YouTube videos of people punching walls and slobbering mindless drivel. Members here who spend a great deal of their time writing up guides and walkthroughs should be thanked and given proper credit. :applause:

just tried the mission where u have to kill 10 jugs with explosives on solo veteran, the trick doesn't work, I ran up the stairs (where it says that u have to turn back and continue the mission) but they can come up too, so either it's an xbox thing or an older video and it got fixed with the newest patch.

 

SO I believe the other vids are also useless

just becuz one thing didn't work for you, doesn't mean the videos are useless... why don't you try having a partner, instead of running solo on veteran... and try doing the same trick in Armor Piercing, in the High Explosive level

No it hasn't been fixed. You need to do it with a friend for it to work. But this video should help you. You can boost this by yourself with second controller in split screen. I can confirm this works, cause thats how I did mine. Good luck:D
