Mission 1, Operation 40:

Intel #1: After progressing up some stairs, your two squadmates will line up at a door, at which point they'll break it down and charge in. Go straight ahead to the opposite side of this building and you'll see it sitting on top of a crate that has an RPG leaning against it.

Intel #2: Shortly after your brief and bitter affair with Castro and his lady of the night, you'll cross a balcony and head into a (Lightly) burning building. Head through the first door on your right, then head left. Between the bed and the TV, you'll see a desk with the intel on it.

Intel #3: Shortly after the last intel, you'll rappel down a mountain and head into an aircraft hangar. On the southeast side of the hangar you'll find an aircraft ladder. Head to the top and grab the intel.

Mission 2, Vorkuta:

Intel #1: You'll eventually come to a poor, defenseless building whose door will be brutally kicked down by Reznov. Continue to follow Reznov--the door murderer--until he stops. Facing Reznov, turn right to find the intel sitting on a cabinet next to a radio.

Intel #2: After you slide under the gate and open it for the rest of the prisoners to get in, go through the doubledoors to the Northeast, just behind the stairs (Do not go up the stairs!) You'll find the intel on a desk in this room.

Intel #3: After a cut scene, you'll find yourself in a room with Reznov and a couple bikes. Turn around and head Southeast towards the flickering lantern. On the bottom shelf next to the lantern you'll find the intel.

Mission 3, U.S.D.D.:

No intel.

Mission 4, Executive Order:

Intel #1: You'll come to a point where Bowman and Brooks distract two guards standing infront of a door. They'll lead them off to the right while you go in and kill everyone. Continue up to level 3. On the Southwest side of the room you'll find two desks, the one on the right has the intel sitting on it.

Intel #2: After blasting a hole in a wall, continue straight to the back of the small room and you'll find the intel sitting on top of a corner computer.

Intel #3: Continue through the level until you get to a long hallway and see a yellow loading vehicle that's carrying a blue barrel. Go through the first door to your right, turn left, and you'll find the intel sitting atop the computer to the Southeast. It's a bit hard to see, but it's close to the window.

Mission 5, S.O.G.:

Intel #1: When you're tasked with destroying the three T55 tanks, you'll have to use an M72 LAW to take them out. South of the area that has all the M72s, you'll find a small stack of weapon and ammo crates. Amongst all these crates is the intel.

Intel #2: Once you're tasked with pushing back the NVA (VIA Napalm barrels), head down the North side of the mountain. You'll come to a MG nest. Southeast of the MG nest, and just a tiny bit below is a bunker. Head inside and you'll see the intel sitting on the right side of the right window.

Intel #3: As you progress through the level, and you come to the top of the hill, a cut scene will take place where you get knocked out. Follow Woods into the burning building and stop once you see a soldier stumbling around and coughing. Just behind him, on the bottom shelf you'll find the intel.

Mission 6, The Defector:

Intel #1: When you get to the room with the large screen and a projector (You can't miss this room,) head through the door to the West, then take an immediate right. You'll see the intel sitting on a desk.

Intel #2: After calling in support for the first time, you'll be tasked with supporting "Bottom Feeder," the M113. Almost immediately as it starts moving, it'll make a right turn. Stop following it once it makes another right turn (Shortly after you call in air support a second time,) and head into the small alleyway to the Southwest. Turn right into the Khach San hotel, go down the stairs to your right and then straight ahead you'll find the intel sitting on a desk.

Intel #3: Once you're at the LZ with the purple smoke and the helicopter, ignore them and head North to a building with a large hole in its wall. Head through the hole, and directly to the Northeast you'll find the intel sitting on a desk.

Mission 7, Numbers:

Intel #1: As soon as you're able to move, turn around and head left around the metal shelf. The intel is sitting on the desk to the west, next to a computer.

Intel #2: After slow-mo sliding down a ramp, you'll see a waist-high wall, just behind it is the intel.

Intel #3: Once you jump off the roof in an attempt to grab Dr. Clarke before he slips, you'll get a cut scene. Once the cut scene ends, you'll be jumping down from rooftop to rooftop. Continue on until you land on top of a roof with a red glow. The intel is on the South side of this roof, half buried in garbage. If you slide down the plywood, you've gone too far.

Mission 8, Project Nova:

Intel #1: As you progress through the level, it will take you into a building and up some stairs. At the top of the stairs, go through the only door and turn right. You'll see the intel sitting on a desk next to a lantern.

Intel #2: As you progress through the level, you'll come to a hangar with a large rocket in the middle of it. In the lighted room at the Northeast end of the hangar you'll find the intel sitting on a desk towards the left.

Intel #3: As you're escaping the ship, you'll make your way out to the front deck. You'll find the USSR fighting the Allies. Stay on the North side of the ship as you move up. You'll come to some stairs and a door that can't be opened. To the right of the door is the intel sitting on the ground.

Mission 9, Victor Charlie:

Intel #1: Pretty early on in the mission you'll be tasked with slitting a sleeping guard's throat. Head out the door of this room, then take an immediate left. In the corner you'll see the intel.

Intel #2: Once you detonate the C4, head directly East a ways until you get to a small shack with a makeshift, waist-high barricade infront of it. On the left side of the floor, at the very back of the small shack you'll find the intel.

Intel #3: After you enter the rat hole, you'll progress a ways and meet up with a friend. You'll come to an intersection, go left (South.) Continue on while keeping an eye to your right. You'll find the intel leaning against a rock. Sure hope it's waterproof. If you make a right turn and start heading North, you've gone too far.

Mission 10, Crash Site:

Intel #1: At the very beginning of the level, as you're heading towards the boat you'll see a flaming barrel ahead of you. North of this barrel is a crate with the intel on top of it.

Intel #2: Immediately as the boat segment ends and you have control of Mason, it's towards the Northeast on the ground by a large rock.

Intel #3: Once you get to the top of the crashed cargo plane, you'll drop down onto some rocks that are glowing red (Cause of the fire). Just below the rocks, on part of the ground that is also glowing red, you'll find the intel.

Mission 11, WMD:

Intel #1: Once you breach the barracks, head down the stairs in front of you, make a left and you'll see the intel sitting on a green cabinet.

Intel #2: Once you breach the comstat station (The big room with lots of computers,) head towards the stairs at the opposite end of the building, but before going down head East into a small room that a bunch of soldiers came out of. Near two lockers, you'll find the intel sitting on a bench.

Intel 3#: As you progress through the level, you'll come to a large area that is rigged with many, many bombs. Head West and you'll see two tables, one brightly lit up, the other darker, each one with a bomb on top. Head to the darker table to find the intel sitting on top.

Mission 12, Payback:

Intel #1: Once you come to a large area with a waterfall in it, check the Northeast wall for two shelves, the right of which has the intel on it.

Intel #2: This is in the area with the Hind (The helicopter). To the North of the Hind you'll see a table with a radio on it, and the intel sitting next to it.

Intel #3: Towards the end of the level, once you get to the large room with lots of beams going across the ceiling, head Southeast towards the flickering light. To the left of the light you'll see some crates and the intel sitting on top of them. It can be difficult to see because it's so dark.

Mission 13, Rebirth:

Intel #1: Once you brutally murder the dock worker and steal Hatchey The Hatchet, turn Northeast and you'll see the intel on the ground.

Intel #2: As you progress through the level, you'll come to a room with a large chamber in the middle, and red lights above that chamber. You'll see the intel on one of the monkey cages in the chamber, but make sure you kill everyone in this room before going into the chamber or an enemy might hit a button and you'll get locked in and killed. Sometimes an enemy will hit the button prematurely and you'll get locked out. I'm honestly not sure how to prevent this.

Note: If you miss this the first time, you can get it while playing as Hudson.

Intel #3: Once you're controlling Hudson, and on foot, progress through the level until you get to the burning building. Instead of going in (As you're supposed to) go into the building to the right. On the North side of this building you'll find a black cabinet with some cooking pots and the intel.

Mission 14, Revelations:

Intel #1: Shortly after you get out of your chair, you'll open a double door. Make a left here. Against the right wall you'll see a birghtly lit vending machine (Or something) with the intel sitting on top.

Intel #2: You'll come to a wall that reads "1 3 2 3 31 34" and some red numbers will fly at you. Turn right here (the game wants you to go left), continue towards the end of the hallway and you'll see the intel to the left of the double door. It's quite dark here, so turn up your brightness if you have to.

Intel #3: You'll come to a room with 8 monitors on a wall to the left. To the right of the monitors you'll find two desks, the left of which has the intel sitting on top of some papers.

Mission 15, Redemption:

Intel #1: Shortly after bailing out of your helicopter, you'll come to an open shipping container with a single box in the middle. On the South side of this shipping container and under the East door you'll find the intel. This is around the area that you'll be told to take out the two helicopters.

Intel #2: As you head down some stairs, you'll eventually come to a room where you're attacked by three guards, and you'll see three pipes going through the ceiling and floor. There are also a lot of computers in this room. Towards the South side of this room you'll find a table, and hidden under the South side of the table you'll find the intel.

Intel #3: After you move up some stairs and go through the door at the top of said stairs, you'll be in a small room with two desks to your immediate right. The intel is sitting under the desk to the left.
