Sprint from before the ledge and jump to the left outside yellow railing. Note: The railing is vertical. This is a hidden ladder. Climb up this railing/ladder to the top of the scaffolding, then walk to the right of the scaffolding along the ledge of the building. You will eventually reach another scaffolding. Climb onto this scaffolding. Walk to the top. Look towards the building and climb onto the higher ledge. Follow that ledge going left. Keep going forward and you will reach the roof. This is a great sniper position. You may want to bring a Tactical Insertion because other players may discover you on your way to the top, or while you are up there, and lob grenades. |

Steam achievementsACHIEVEMENT - HOW TO UNLOCK |
Using teammatesYou will usually have multiple 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 are 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. |
Raising prestigeWhile online, the first time before you prestige is basically pointless. Any progress you made with any primary, secondary, or any other weapon or kill streak will be reset. However, after you prestige the first time, the kills and headshots you get with your primary and secondary weapons (except the riot shield) will be saved via the Master and Veteran challenges under each gun. After prestiging once, you will also get the Prestige challenges, which is a separate set of challenges like Basic Training, most of which will remain if you prestige again. This tip will help not wasting hours maxing out a gun the first time to get nothing and only to learn that you have to do it again. |

"Evasion" Spec. Ops mission: "3 Star" rankWhen the mission begins, 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 quickly 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 proceed the right after the fourth guard passes, but stay along the fence. After that, 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 center 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. After that, 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 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 couple 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. |
