It's not too bad. I'm not that good at COD but I beat this in about 2 hrs. I got stuck at the end of Ex. Dis. like everyone else. The guys are always in the same place so just memorize their locations. The grenade launcher attachment helped out a TON.

I covered the corridor (minute 19:30) with 3 smoke nades until the door to the right (minute 20:30) and threw the last smoke inside this room. This way worked best and I survived.

I was really fooled into thinking this was a good game up until I decided to try it on veteran. This level will show you just how bad the AI and infinite respawning system are . Not to mention the horrible check points at the end of executive order this game is going back to game fly today and I will not attenmpt a single motherfkn achievement. The AI is worthless. It can barely hurt the enemy. The AIA gets in your way and get you killed. Sometimes the AR I will not move where it is supposed To. The enemy ai has aim bot like capabilities and can shoot around corners and Insta kill you. The entire design is cheap. Imagine this as a game that wants to eat corners like an old arcade game. This is that kind of design. Very poor. Thank you. Goodbye. Good riddance.

Operation 40 and Vorkuta are not that hard to do, just take it slow, use cover and let the AI players kill some of the enemies, they will constantly rush forward most of the time. Don't save and quit in middle of a mission, cause the achievement might not pop because of that. This happened to me.

In the end of Executive Order there will be a long part with no checkpoints, you need to get to a room on the right side of the corridor and the enemies will respawn continuously, save some smoke grenades for this part.

The enemies can't respawn when they are alive inside the smoke cloud, also they mostly won't shoot you. I recommend saving at least 2 smoke grenades for this corridor. Throw the other one after you have reached the room on the right, then you will see a small room on the opposite of this room (far left of the long corridor). Lob the other grenade there and rush to this room. You might hit a checkpoint and after that, it is easy to finish the mission. Note: in this room there is usually a couple enemies there, so be ready.

executive order level, struggling in the tunnels?

you shoulkd have not used your smokes until you got to this level, ok clear room at bottom of the stairs, peek around corner clear a few russians that move forward... use explosive crossbow on lift in far room (just peek around the corner) when safe move up to barrels on left down corridor and use 2-3 smokes in front and to the left. move up and mp5 the 2-3 bad guys and hide behind barrels on left, beside the lift. reload and clear forward. (checkpoint) now the next hard part is clear forward and in rooms with exploding computers... now this is the sneaky bit....

before going down the next horrible corridor of doom, re trace level to where you start the tunnel, swap crossbow for enlarge mag submachine pistol and pick up another 3 smokes off the silver table!

this makes the last bit a peace of piss

good luck!

This was an excellent tip.

After the server room, I lobbed in two greenades and two smokes in the corridor, then ran into the small alcove on the left. One more greenade and one smoke more, and I dashed to the room on the right, killing the two enemies inside. Meanwhile the friendlies proceeded on the corridor. At the back of the room was another exit to the corridor, I threw in one smoke and one greenade and dashed to the locker room, killing the two guys inside. Checkpoint reached.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen such a frustrating point in a game before :) Thanks for the great tip.
