There is no choice of difficulty here the stars awarded are dependent on how well you complete this mission. If you are doing this with two players the time will only stop once you have BOTH crossed the finish. You can choose any weapon available to you before it starts. Just go through the pit which is exactly like the one you faced at the start of the campaign. This is simple enough, so much so that a second player may hinder you. The Pitģ star criteria - Complete in 35 seconds without hitting any civilian targets.Ģ star criteria - Complete in 45 seconds hitting no more than four civilian targets.ġ star criteria - Complete, hitting no more than four civilian targets. Unless you were holding a pistol in one of your slots beforehand, you will always fire an M9. While one player is in any of these stances, if the other player takes a death you will fail the mission, so the other player must make it a priority by 'reviving' the other player (going to the other player and holding 'use' until he stands back up). When playing with two players, a death will cause one player to go into 'Last Stand' where all he can do is fire a pistol and use the knife melee attack, if this player gets hit a second time while in Last Stand he will only be able to crawl. Achievements will unlock once their criteria has been filled. This guide goes by the assumption that you are doing these missions in order and all on Veteran and with a second player (unless stated otherwise). The Alpha missions are available from the start, the Bravo missions need a total of four stars before you can unlock them, Charlie will need eight, Delta needs twenty (which means you need to do all the previous missions and some at least on Hardened!), and Echo needs 40.

The missions are split up between five call signs - Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta and Echo. I'll just be going over some tips to assist you along the way. Unlike the story, these missions are very open-ended and will require a lot of your own tactics and thought to get you through the mission. The harder difficulties will be more challenging but offer more stars for completion. Almost all the time you will be given the option for difficulties: Veteran, Hardened and Regular. These missions are more difficult than the campaign but much easier if you can talk to your teammate. Spec-Ops are largely co-operative based missions which you can do either via Xbox Live (you will need a Gold account) or split screen.
