    Found at the start of Mission 14: Prison Break. Once you've climbed over the wall and entered the CCTV room. You'll need to guide Ghost through the compound without being spotted in under 4 minutes. If you mess up or hang around too long, you can "Restart Checkpoint" without wasting any additional time.

    cn_A to move Ghost around.
    cn_RT to shoot unarmoured enemies.
    cn_RB to knife armoured enemies.
    cn_Y to switch between cameras.
    cn_X to plant the car bombs.

    It's a rather long and difficult section to describe by typing. So please use my fully narrated video below for aid.

    Note: Pausing the game also pauses the 4 minute timer if you need to watch further steps in my video guide.

    Knucklehead923Excellent video! Perfectly narrated and explained as far as what you were doing. Actually made it kinda fun trying to match the timing of everything. Thank you

    Mobius EvalonThis is pretty much a perfect guide. I missed the timing on the last guard by the last truck you plant a bomb on. Ghost got killed before he could plant/I could get the achievement, and the game checkpointed there a millisecond before Ghost was spotted and basically softlocked there. I had to restart the whole mission, so be extra aware of the timing there and restart the checkpoint if it even looks a bit hinky.

    This achievement takes place on the mission called Prison Break. After you gain access to the CCTV room you will control the cameras around the Prison. The timer starts when you take control of the CCTV. Also whilst moving Ghost be sure to switch to the different CCTV cameras in the area as you can do multiple moves at once in some sections, it makes the flow of things go faster.

    When Ghost has finished breaking the lock on the gate, direct Ghost to the wooden box in front of you. Next, switch to the CCTV camera in the distance, and direct Ghost to shoot the enemy that's using the laptop. After this switch to the next camera and hide Ghost by the barrels. Next shoot the enemy that's on the catwalk and switch to the next camera and make Ghost climb the ladder and melee the enemy from behind.

    In the area next to you will see two enemies walking around. Ask Ghost to shoot the enemies and proceed to the 1st truck and plant the device. Move to the right side of the destroyed wall and wait until the enemy on the catwalk walks away. Next turn off the generator and go back to the right side of the destroyed wall and shoot the enemy that's by the pickup truck. Switch to the next camera and move Ghost to the forklift. Shoot the enemy that's beneath the lights and melee the armoured enemy that's walking to the enemy you just shot. Lastly shoot the last enemy that's using the laptop.

    Switch to the next camera and move Ghost behind the barrels that's beneath the catwalk. Melee the armoured enemy that get's out of the pickup truck. Switch to the next camera and wait until the enemy is looking away from Ghost and use melee attack from behind. Switch to the next camera and move Ghost to the bunch of boxes that's right of the armoured vehicle. Wait here until the armoured enemy walks to the left boxes and use melee attack. Next plant the device on the vehicle and move Ghost through the hole in the fence on the right side.

    Switch to the next camera overlooking the two vehicles in the next area. Move Ghost to the front of the Pickup Truck, switch to the next camera on the left side of this area and move Ghost behind the barrels. Wait for the last enemy to walk away from you and use melee attack. Lastly plant device on the last vehicle.

    If you are still having trouble, feel free to use this video as a reference.


    Hope this helped, thanks again.

    The 15th mission of COD MW2 is 'Prison Break'. As the name suggests, you are breaking into a prison to rescue Alejandro. Right after gaining access to the Prison, you will make your way into the Security Building where Lt. Ghost asks you to hop on the CCTV to help guide him to arm 3 car bombs.

    While there are numerous different paths and correct ways to do such, the path I showed in the video seems to be the best. Making sure to stick on the outside perameter of the heavily guarded areas making sure to take out the power whenever possible.

    This achievement tracks your best time for each segment meaning that if you die, you respawn and try again. The time does not stack if you continue to die.
