Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game guide Act II

Act II: Wolverines!

Follow Sgt Foley

After exiting the vehicle, follow your squad down the alley on the right. Trail them through town until you reach a house, just before a BTR. Wait for it to roll past, then follow Sgt. Foley to a car on the street for cover.

While behind the car, lob a smoke grenade at the BTR. In just a few moments, it'll unleash a smoke screen, allowing you to safely run past the BTR--stick to the right side of the street to duck into an alley just beyond. Immediately take cover behind the dumpster there and target the enemies beyond.

Push forward through the alley, taking cover by another dumpster ahead, then the jutting wall just before the gas station's parking lot--this provides fantastic protection as you target the inbound enemies. After thinning the herd, push forward to the gas station's office on the left, just before the window. Peek inside to take down a few enemies there.

Intel (1/4)
Check inside the gas station to find the intel resting on the counter.

With the gas station cleared, follow Foley across the street to a car, just in front of Nate's restaurant.

Intel (2/4)
Head inside the CRB Financial building (just across from Nates) and look for this intel on a desk, next to the "Foreign Exchange" window.

Intel (3/4)
Look inside the dumpster just outside the Burger Town restaurant for this intel.

Intel (4/4)
Enter the Taco restaurant through the door directly opposite Nate's and look for this intel on a counter.

Get to the Roof of Nate's Restaurant

You heard the Sergent! The entrance into Nate's is just behind you--head inside and make a left to enter the kitchen, where you'll find the ladder leading to the roof.

Eliminate the Enemy Assault

On the roof? Good--as you're going to have hold off some inbound troops from here. You may have noticed an automated turret by the roof's ledge--you can move this baby around by grabbing it like any other weapon, but leave it its current location for now. On either side of the turret are some trip-mines and a thermal rifle--if you want, you can set up the mines around the various rooftop entrance (such as by the ladder, or gaps in the wall), but we actually recommend ignoring them and instead using only the turret and the rifle, as you don't have much time.

After grabbing the thermal rifle, use its scope to pick off the enemies attacking from the north--the more enemies you take down, the fewer you'll have to deal with climbing onto your rooftop. Of course, your peripheral vision is limited when using the scope, so be sure to zoom out between targets to quickly acquire another. If you run low on ammo at any point, an ammo box behind you provides an unlimited supply.

Rooftop Intruders!
If any enemies breach the roof, grab the turret and spin it around so it faces the enemies as they clamber onto the roof--it'll mow them down in a jiffy!

Before long, Sargent Foley will alert you to more troops inbound from the south, which is the direct opposite ledge. Grab the turret and plant it down on the opposite ledge, then use your thermal scope again to pick off the inbound troops--you'll need the thermal scope to see through the smoke screen they set up. Remember, if any enemies get onto the roof, reposition the turret so it faces them, then take cover behind any of the rooftop's structures if you need to. Once you've cleared out the attacking forces, drop back inside the restaurant when the sergeant instructs you to.

Obtain the Predator Drone Control Rig

After dropping into the restaurant, you'll be tasked with grabbing the predator drone control rig from the diner across the street--which is teeming with enemies. The best way to go about this is to exit through the door you entered from, and head around the backside of the burning helicopter wreckage--now run parallel to it, across the street and make your way to the marked diner.

As you approach the diner, crouch before one of the windows for cover, enabling you to target the enemies inside. When clear, enter the diner and grab the control rig from the counter.

Destroy the BTR80s

After grabbing the rig, crouch behind the counter and equip it by tapping down on the control-pad. Your view will now switch to that of a missile on the predator drone--use it to launch a couple of missiles, steering them into the marked BTR80 vehicles on the ground.

Regroup at Nate's Restaurant

With both BTR80s destroyed, Foley will instruct you to head for Nate's restaurant--don't. It'll be destroyed before you can arrive, so head for the Burger Town instead, to the southeast, just right of Nate's.

Secure Burger Town

Approach Burger Town and take cover below the windows, peeking up every now and then to target the enemies within.

Protect the VIP / Neutralize the Enemy Forces

With Burger Town cleared, wait here for Sergent Foley to carry over the VIP. Once he's safely holed up in the meat locker, take cover somewhere in the restaurant, such as behind the counter, and use the Predator Drone once again to wipe out the attacking enemy forces outside. Continue firing missiles at large groups of enemies until the drone is destroyed.

Once the drone's destroyed, you'll have to hold off the enemies attacking from the direction as marked on your HUD. Remain in the restaurant and use your thermal rifle to pick them off either through the windows, or from the backside. Keep in mind that the enemies will attack in waves from different directions, so adjust your aim toward the market 'target' location.

Neutralize the Enemy Helicopter

Before long, you'll be alerted to an inbound chopper; thankfully there's a rocket launcher in the diner to the west ideal for taking it down. The best way to get there is to exit the Burger Town to the south, crossing the street far away from the action, then head for the diner.

Grab the launcher inside, then aim it at the chopper and fire a missile as soon as you have a lock-on to destroy it.

With the first chopper destroyed, another will soon roll in. Luckily, there's another launcher on top of Nate's. We recommend running north up the street first, before crossing over to Nate's to avoid enemy encounters. Quickly climb to Nate's roof via the ladder in the kitchen, grab the stinger, and use it to take down the second chopper.

Regroup at the Convoy

With the second helicopter down, your escape convoy will roll in ahead--if you try and dash straight for it, you'll get creamed. Instead, exit Nate's out to the west and run alongside the Taco building, before making a straight shop for your escape ride. This route will ensure you don't take any heavy fire.
