The bad guys in Call of Duty are well-armed, well-trained and well-populated. Judging by the dozens of collectible “enemy intelligence” items scattered about Modern Warfare 2’s battlefields, however, they are also extremely lazy, ridiculously forgetful and sort of stupid.
In total, 45 laptops have been left behind. Want ‘em? Want two extra Achievements or Trophies? Want that 100% complete marker on your main menu screen? Then you’ll need this guide. We’ve spent hours scouring every corner of every mission to bring you the exact locations of every one. Just use the links below to jump to any mission, then follow our screens and videos to grab the intel as quickly and easily as possible.
As soon as you've finished teaching the new guys how to shoot, head for the guard tower pictured below. It's directly across from the entrance to the "The Pit". The laptop is at the base.
This laptop is inside the school, right before the exit. You'll enter a couple of rooms painted white and turquoise, with rectangular columns in the middle. The laptop is against one of the walls.
Team Player - Intel item #2
Immediately after grabbing the previous laptop, you'll exit the school. On your way out, look for another laptop sitting on a crate next to a yellow cab.
Before entering the blizzard-obscured base, look to the right for a circular road with a tower in the center. The laptop is up a ladder, on the catwalk.
Cliffhanger- Intel Item #2
Plant the C4, then meet Soap at the rendezvous spot. Don’t follow him right away. Instead, turn around and follow the ditch in the opposite direction. The laptop is through a warehouse window on your right. Shoot the glass out in order to grab it… the plane mechanics working inside won’t even notice.
Cliffhanger - Intel Item #3
This one’s tough to spot unless you know exactly where to look. During the snowmobile section, keep to the right of the path and watch for a small wooden shack on a hill. The finish line should be about 1800 meters away at this point, and the shack should be hit by a missile. See the wooden fence in the picture below? Turn slightly left at that fence, heading into the copse of trees. The laptop is on the ground and you can simply drive over to obtain. If you miss it, hit “B” or “Circle” to reverse. If you jump past a crashing tree into an area swarming with enemies on foot, you’ve gone too far.
Near the start of the shantytown, when you're still on flat ground, be on the lookout for this motorcycle. The laptop is inside the opposite structure - the one with the poster - as seen in the screen below.
Takedown - Intel Item #2
When you find the red brick building pictured below, climb the ladder and head inside for the laptop. It's on a wooden desk right past the door.
Takedown - Intel Item #3
After grabbing the last laptop, look for a taller red brick building to the left. Head inside, but stay on the first floor. The laptop is next to two beds.
Takedown - Intel Item #4
Wait until you find the car pictured below. Go through the door of the building on the right, then downstairs. The laptop is between two beds.
Awww, THEY RUINED THIS INTEL GUIDE WHEN I Was ONLY HALF THROUGH THE GAME!!! IMHO GAMERADAR went from a 5/5 stars help guide with the pics to a 3/5 stars without them. No one wants to load the crappy quality vids. THESE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS BEING THE BEST INTEL GUIDE ARE NO LONGER TRUE, THEY WERE MADE BEFORE THEY CHANGED THIS GUIDE. I WANT THE PICTURES BACK SO I CAN FINISH THE GAME WITH THIS SITE, I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A STRICTLY PIC GUIDE AGAIN ON ANOTHER SITE, PLEASE LINK IT HERE. Before this stupid decision this intel guide was perfect for having pictures because every other crappy intel guide site already has low quality videos like this which you had to load and watch and pause and look thru, this site used to have pictures that would perfectly show you where the intel was. NOW THAT IT DOESN'T IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE OTHER 150 INTEL GUIDES OUT THERE!!!!!! POOR CHOICE gameraDUR
just completed Vetaran and All intel thanks for the guide :) if any one would like to team up to get all spec ops and knows how please add PSN : smiggy2020
With grenades from hell, infinite ammo, and the horrible cases of 'tire death' in the previous game, you'd think the baddies would be a little more careful about where they leave their laptops lying around... Too bad they don't unlock any cheats this time around. I really miss my fully automatic m203 X-)
This is THE BOMBEST GUIDE EVER I got all of the intel in like an hour -
For each intel laptop it has a accurate description, shows u a picture of the room or area with an arrow pointing to the specific location and another picture of the laptop itself. you can't have any trouble, this shit is PRO
lol i dont know why but the first interl laptop for cliffhanger is really becoming a bitch to find! i guees its coz this blizzed is making it hard to see
that was easy. i already have all the intel, without help. and i've beaten the game on veteran. still an amazing video. if i had used it it would have been helpful. keep up the good work.
I finally got the two intel achievements, meaning I am basically at my limit for gamerscore in MW2, since I am not good enough to beat the campaign on Veteran or get all 69 stars on Spec Ops. However, I can still have fun in multiplayer. Happy holidays, GR.
