  • Hidden Thunder Gun in "Numbers" mission At the beginning of Mission 7: Numbers, after the Nova 6 Gas is released, go to the back of the room, and enter the office. Find the tape recorder, and hold [Action] to pick it up. If done correctly, the screen will shake. Continue through the level until you get to the part where you jump off the roof into the building and onto the mattress. Once Clarke is inside, he will move a fridge leading to the weapon stash. You must watch him move the fridge or you will not get the Thunder Gun. Once you get inside the stash, go to the left. You should see another tape recorder. Walk up to it, and hold [Action] to pick it up. If done correctly, the screen will shake and the Thunder Gun will appear from the wall. You can trade the weapon you are holding for it, and it will be equipped with twelve shots. After you get the Thunder Gun, the rest of the level should be very easy.
    In Mission 7: Numbers, after interrogating Clarke, several enemy soldiers will appear at the end of the long hallway. If you shoot all six Nova 6 canisters (two in the back, four on the sides), you can retrieve a cassette tape in the office behind where you started. Note: It is recommended that you toss a flashbang to blind the enemies so you can shoot the canisters more easily. Once you pick up the tape, continue progressing through the mission until the part where Weaver and Clarke both jump off the roof and onto a mattress. After they jump down, Clarke will ask Weaver to help him move a fridge out of the way to his first weapon stash. Once they do, go inside, and look to the left. There should be a place to put the cassette. Note: When picking up and placing the cassette tape, the game will not prompt you to do anything -- you must use this information to know when to do these things. Once you insert the cassette tape, the screen will shake, and the Thunder Gun will appear out of the wall. It has twelve bullets, and it is reloaded at checkpoints.

It is on the bottom shelf of a rack near the back of the building you start in after the cutscene from being gassed. There will be a pallet jack and lantern in front of it.

It is the building at the back far right corner from when you come out of the building you used the C4 in.
    Mission 7: Numbers

This is just after you slide down the metal roofing, and the game goes into slow-motion so you can kill the enemies that appear. 18.

This is just before the end of the level where you slide down plywood.

It is on a pallet that is almost completely covered in snow at the end of the ship. It is right before the stairs to the right. You must grab this Intel before you use the rope to get off the ship and before time runs out.
    Mission 9: Victor Charlie
      22. It is lying against the wall near the west corner of the hut. It is right before you knife someone in the back and just after knifing someone in their sleep after climbing through a window with Woods. 23.

The village is just after the river area you swim through and plant explosives. 24. It is in the left tunnel after Reznov helps you move a barrier blocking the path to the next tunnel. When you lead the way, instead of going straight, go left. It is lying on the ground against a rock on the right-hand side of this tunnel.

It is on a table with explosives in front of the office that is inside of the large warehouse with explosives everywhere else. You can grab this Intel before or after entering the office. However, it is easier to get it before entering since there is not any resistance.
    Mission 12: Payback
      31. It is on a shelf inside the large ammunition room you enter after going through the left or right tunnel when you escape. It is on the right side of the room.

You must grab this Intel before getting in the helicopter with Woods. 33. It is right after you have freed the POWs. It is on a crate in the area to the far left just before you reach the building where Kravchenko is inside on the second floor.
    Mission 13: Rebirth
      34. It is lying on the ground next to the crate to your left as you exit the shipping container that you were hiding in. Kill the enemy in front of you, grab the Intel, then move quickly so you do not get spotted from the helicopter in the area. 35. It is on a cage with a monkey in it inside of the containment unit in the center of the room. Do not shoot the enemy inside; instead knife him. If you shoot him, the containment unit will close, making it impossible to grab the Intel located inside of it. However, if you make this mistake, simply die, and start from the last checkpoint to try again. 36. It is shortly after you have put on the gas mask when the area gets gassed with Nova 6. You will first pass through one house, and then continue up the road to reach the next checkpoint. Before you go into the next house with the checkpoint, there is a house in front of it to the right that contains the Intel. It is sitting on the cabinet with a bunch of pots.

It is on the desk to the left inside of the first office room you come across after you have a flashback with JFK as you head down the long hallway with the rocket taking off in the background.
    Mission 15: Redemption
      40. It is just behind the first shipping container you come across. It is lying on the ground under the door. It is right before you need to use the Valkyrie Rockets to take out the two helicopters above you. 41. It is in the second room you enter when you are inside the ship. It is under the table in front of you with a bunch of crates as you enter on the other side of it. This room is after the locker room. 42. It is in the office room at the end of the mission before you fight Dragovich. It is under the left desk with the phone.

  • Clearing the trenches in battle of Khe Sanh At the battle of Khe Sanh, you are told to clear the trenches, but it is not exactly clear how to do this. You must run to the two giant striped barrels near the bottom of the hill and kick them down into the trench. Hide behind the sandbags, and shoot at the Viet Cong until it is relatively clear. Then, run to the nearby barrel, and follow the prompt to stab it and kick it down the hill.



  • Hear "Pareidolia" song by Elena Siegman in "Shangri-La" map ("Annihilation" DLC) In the "Shangri-La" map in Zombies mode, find all three meteorites. The first is located in the spawning room near a broken pillar, to the left of the top-most window behind the Quick Revive machine. The second is located past the mud pits and Perk machine, but before the bridge, in the grass to the left when facing the bridge from the Perk machine. The third is located underground in the room past the AK74u, just above the water near the railing, across from the Perk machine in that room. Press [Use] when near each of the meteorites. When all three have been activated, the song "Pareidolia" by Elena Siegman will play.



  • Power box location in Zombies mode ("Escalation" DLC) The power switch is located on the half-sunken ship to your right when you start. The boat that covers the entrance costs 500 points. When you go up the ship's side, continue straight until you see a stairway to your left leading upstairs. It costs 750 points to enter. Once inside, go to either the right or left of the cabin and go inside, where you will find a stairway leading up again. Go up and move around the room to find a door that costs 750 points. Open this door, and the power switch will be to your right when you walk in.



  • Defeating George the director in Zombies mode ("Escalation" DLC) It is recommended you do not fight George the director until you obtain the new Wonder Weapon and upgrade it through Pack-A-Punch, as you will not be able to kill him without it. Shooting him, blowing him up, and even knifing him will cause him to roar in fury, then charge at full sprint after you and your allies until everyone is dead. If this happens, you can lead him to any large body of water to calm him down. Additionally, the power must be active before you can damage him.



  • Springing platforms and ziplines in Zombies mode ("Escalation" DLC) If you want to use either the platforms or zipline, you must first activate the power. Then, you must unlock the area that the platform or zipline ends at or else it will not bring you anywhere. The zipline can be used if there is no notice saying "Closed set" (indicating that you must unlock it) or "Power must be on" (power needs to be turned on). Once the zipline is active, jump into it near the edge to use it. The springing platform can be used once the area (lighthouse base) is open, and the power is on. When you stand on it, you will hear a compression sound, and after a moment it will launch you away. Note: Zombies and George can also use the springing platforms and ziplines.



  • Freezing zombies ("Escalation" DLC) If you lead a group of zombies into the water and keep them in there long enough, it will cause them to freeze for a moment, allowing you to run away or kill them easier.



  • Zombie perks ("Escalation" DLC) The following Zombies mode perks are available in the "Escalation" DLC: Double Tap, Juggar-naught, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, Dr. Phlopper, Quick Revive, and Deadshot. The Deadshot perk lets you snap-aim (holding down your ADS while an enemy is near) to the zombie's head instead of its torso.



  • Hear "Abracadavre" song by Elena Siegman in "Ascension" map ("First Strike" DLC) In the "Ascension" map in Zombies mode, there are three teddy bears holding a sickle. Press Square while standing next to each one, and you will hear a sound. Once you activate all three teddy bears, the "Abracadavre" song by Elena Siegman will play.

  • Easy "Frag Master" trophy In Campaign mode, during the battle of Khe Sanh when the NVA are pouring out of the tunnels in the background, keep throwing grenades into the crowd until you get the "Frag Master" trophy.
    In Multiplayer mode, have five friends cram together, and then throw a frag grenade to kill them all and get the "Frag Master" trophy.
    In Zombies mode with at least two players, blow the legs off five zombies, and then have another player stand in one place while the zombies crawl towards them. When they are all attacking the other play, throw a frag grenade to kill them all and get the "Frag Master" trophy.



  • Easy "Hands Off The Merchandise" trophy In Round 4 on the "Five" map in Zombies mode, try to shoot a zombie's legs off so it is crawling around before the round ends, as this will give you time to turn the power on. The Thief shows up randomly after you turn the power on. The strategy used in the video was done in Single Player mode.



  • Easy "I Hate Monkeys" trophy In the Rebirth labs, fire the China Lake into the central chamber of the lab. There will be an explosion in the chamber that releases Nova 6 gas that will kill the soldiers and all of the monkeys.



  • Easy "Quiet On The Set" trophy ("Escalation" DLC) Wait until a zombie drops the "Death Machine" perk, and be near George when you pick it up. Shoot at him as much as possible. Since the Death Machine has infinite ammunition for a short time, this will deal a lot of damage to Romero. Even if you pull him into the water and he returns to normal, this will still cause damage. It requires a very large amount of damage to defeat him. You do not necessarily need to turn the power on or kill him near the water; just as long as you keep doing damage to him, any weapon will eventually kill him. His light hammer will turn from blue to orange when you are close to defeating him.



  • Easy "Rhino" trophy In the Dead Ops Arcade game, when you get to a higher round (for example, Round 8 or 10), use a meat power-up at the start of the round. When the zombies pour in, wait a bit, then use the speed power-up to get the "Rhino" trophy.



  • Easy "Sally Likes Blood" trophy In Mission 6: The Defector, at the part where you go inside the building with Bowman, Reznov, and Woods (the one where the man is crying over his dead friend), go upstairs. There will be two VC in front of you and three more behind the window next to them. Aim precisely so that you can kill all three of them in one shot. This area is a checkpoint -- so if you miss, kill yourself, and try again.

    Tutorial To Replace The PS3 Hard Drive

    Playstation 3 is now increasingly booming, especially with the Jailbreak that allows the PS3 to play pirated games. Followed by exclusive games that make the PS3 more and more popular. But unfortunately the games are released now requires a fairly large hard disk space to install the data, especially if you play the PS3 with a Jailbreak or CFW, the data must be entered into the internal will be even greater because some pirated PS3 games must be copied first to the internal, that can be played smoothly.

    based on it, you'll think to upgrade your internal hard drive. It's easy, especially if you are accustomed to assemble their own PC at home, maybe as easy as turning the palm of the hand?. With this article I try to help you with the way the PS3 hard drive replacement. Hope it helps for those wishing to replace itself without the need to store.

    Some of the tools you need to prepare is a small screwdriver with a variety of sizes, 2.5-inch internal hard drive 5400rpm SATA with free space capacity, external hard drive for backup and flash that has been filled by firmware.

    1. BackUp System


    Before changing the PS3 hard drive, I suggest you to backup your system, the backup process is quite easy, you just plug the external hard drive there, then go into the PS3 menu>> Select System Settings>>> Backup System>>> Backup.

    The backup process will run in accordance with the amount of your data, because the backup will store data from Save Games, Game Data, and even copy the game's internal hard drive. On my PS3, this backup process takes about 29GB space.

    Open PS2 Loader on PS2 Fat HDD

    OPL Open PS2 Loader is a boot loader or games that can be used to play games from External Hard Drive (USB Game) and Internal Hard Drive (HDD Game).

    now,in this post we will try to discuss about the OPL using external hard drive or hard drive that uses USB as the connection interface hard drive to PS2 fat or slim.

    To use the Open PS2 Loader version 0.8 beta (and final version of the current 0.8 release) on PS2, where the hard disk format (FAT or FAT32) and how to install a hard drive on the PS2 here's how to install games onto an external hard drive (with USBUtil), the same way that we done on the use USBAdvance already described in previous posts, so for that matter, please ,just look at previous posts for USBAdvance which could also apply to Open PS2 Loader.


    Having a problem installing the hard drive and the game is clear, then the next to run the Open PS2 Loader, when running USBAdvance same way as already described in previous posts, where to run it requires MC Boot (Free mcboot).

    And OPL can be run either on the PS2 that had been taking a modchip (modbo, matrix, messia, M2, etc) or not (original PS2 chip).


    Once Open PS2 Loader v 0.8 beta on the PS2 is booting, then the next to the supporting installation as follows:

    For the purposes of display Open PS2 Loader, then the external hard drive made some folders to accommodate the various needs support from the OPL, and create a folder can be done via the windows explorer and linux (PC), can also be done on the PS2 (with Ulaunchelf), and between the folder is :

    APPS
    ART
    THM

    VMC


    explaination,


    • APPS is the folder to store applications such as UlaunchELF PS2, Codebreaker, Emulator games, SMS, etc.
    • ART is the folder to store the cover images, icons, games and background.
    • THM is the folder to store the various themes OPL.
    • VMC is a virtual file folder to store the MC.
    As for the settings of the files can be stored on the memorycard OPL, that can also be stored on a external hard drive  (for OPL revision that supports read detailed changelog).

    So ... if OPL setting stored in external hard drive, then when seen on the PS2 using ulaunch (path mass: /) after the game and some of his supporters already installed, it will load some files,like :



    APPS
    ART
    THM
    VMC
    conv_apps.cfg
    conv_compatibility
    conv_opl.cfg
    conv_vmc.cfg
    ul.xxxxxxxx.ID Game.xx
    ul.cfg
    ul-old.cfg 




    explaination :


    • APPS, ART, THM, VMC, a folder with the purpose as noted above.
    • conf_apps.cfg is the configuration of the application on the PS2.
    • conf_compatibility.cfg is a configuration that contains the settings of each game.
    • conf_opl.cfg is the configuration of the main settings OPL .
    • conf_vmc.cfg is a configuration that contains the settings for using a virtual MC in every game.
    • ul.xxxxxxxx.ID Game.xx are the files of the game after it is installed on an external hard drive, where for one game usually consists of 1 to 4 files.
    • ul.cfg dan ul-old.cfg is a configuration list of games that are installed in external harddisk.

    in order for the first time OPL run directly read the list of games on my hard drive externalnya, then on Settings, set the following
    USB device start mode = Auto
    Start device = USB Games


    As for other settings, adjust to the interests of each user.

    After the settings finished, then the next step is to press OK and save settings.

    Restart the OPL and OPL as bootable, it will detect your settings are saved in the first MC, and if not found, then the next would read the settings stored diharddisk externalnya OPL, and after the setting has been successfully read, then the next all the games and applications (if any) installed on an external hard drive will be displayed in the menu OPL.

    Select the item title and play ....

    Done.
