I also liked the nice little surprise at the end of the credits, although the time limit on the arcade mode's hardest setting for the VIP is impossible I think. The rap song in the credits was just poor after the wonders of Still Alive, but the game was redeemed by a well-placed Airplane! quote and some innuendo (in your endo).

I'm not sure of the significance of the enemy intelligence yet, and only gathered 5 or 6 of the 30 on my play through. Anyone else know what they're for? Do they unlock stuff post-completion, or add stuff into subsequent missions? If it's the latter, then that would be a really good way of increasing content in the game, but I didn't see any reference to extra intel received so I'm assuming it's the former.

Question repost:

a bit weird, if you keep in mind that infinity ward are merkins.

Is it possible to shoot down the chopper when you're in the jeep at the end and somehow change the ending, a bit?

i honestly think you can't change any events. but feel free to prove me wrong.

It'd be an awfully lucky shot, that bit was hard.

If someone pulls that off, kudos to them. Whilst mid-game you can go into menu>options>cheats and it'll show how many intelligence laptops there are each map, and how many you've collected.

Then you get cluster bomb, where every grenade you throw, blows up and then spawns 5-6 more, which them blow up, creates a lot of noise and bodies. Just got 'badyear', you shoot an enemy, he turns into a load of tyres when he dies! I'm going through again now, so I'll update as I collect them

Guard dogs take on a new menace when you have no last ditch neck snap move.
