In the Hardpoint mission, you are in control of an AC130 and are providing cover for your team. You have to keep enemies from entering the building where your team is camping on the roof. The enemy attacks from multiple fronts. You have to protect them from mortar attacks and RPGs as well.

Hardpoint is very challenging because you have to scan the entire map at all times to protect the team while also deploying flares to stop the missile attacks to take you down. Time the flares so that you aren't caught reloading and also so you can make sure you are still protecting your team on the roof. It will take a few attempts to develop a winning strategy. Good Luck!

The Alone mission requires a great deal of tact and creativity. You start off with no weapons and you have to sneak around town to eventually rendezvous with Ghost. Creativity comes in with the crafting of tools and weapons.

Eventually, you will be able to take down an armed soldier and get a weapon, but being elusive is still key due to the increased likelihood of being overrun by all enemies in the area. Toward the end of the mission, you will be holed up in a room with two entrances. Plant explosives near both doors for easy kills and pay attention to enemies shooting you through the store window.

The Dark Water mission takes place at sea on two different vessels. The goal is to disarm a missile, but that is not without heavy resistance. The oil rig harbors the missile. However, after locating it, your team finds out that the controls room is not on the rig, but on another ship located near the rig.

The second part of the mission is where it's tricky. You have to clear the deck of enemies to reach the controls, but there are containers sliding everywhere that will also kill you. There are small rooms you can run into to prevent being crushed, but at times, the best way to dodge them is to climb on top of them. Don't spend too much time up there as you will be completely exposed to enemy fire. Once the deck is cleared head to the control room and disarm the missile.

Now you have the complete controls and tips for three missions in the reboot and sequel to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Be ready for the October 28 release of Modern Warfare II!
