3.0 out of 5 stars This Book Feels Backwards, November 25, 2009

By	PhoenixAsh21 - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

First off, this guide has a cover price of 19.99, which you might consider reasonable given it's thickness. Amazon's price made it more reasonable for the content that it actually contains, but the book leaves some pretty significant questions unanswered.

I specifically bought this book to get ahead in the multiplayer mode. I bought the game the day it came out, and there was not yet an online community with the information that I wanted. I was looking for a list of unlockable titles and callsign badges, and how to get them. While the guide does have a multiplayer section - it has some useful information on custom classes, mutiplayer mission maps and game modes - it completely lacks ANY information on Titles or Badges and how to get them.

This book feels backwards. The authors spent tons of time and resources on the single player mode - that's evident. But they didn't seem to put a ton of effort into the multiplayer section. It's my experience that with games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, this is the exact opposite of how people play this game and enjoy this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete - Skip It!, November 16, 2009

By	Bryan Sebring (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would start by suggesting that the reviewer that said all the intel locations are mapped actually count the locations that are mapped... It is not 45 locations. One example, the second mission, there is one in the school house and one directly outside... In the guide there are no locations mapped for that mission... thus it is incomplete. The locations that are mapped are not mapped well. I ended up needing to go online for the ones that were not mapped along with several that were because it was too vague. This guide seemed to be thrown together compared to ones that they have put out before. Even based on that one aspect, why buy a guide that leaves you needing to go on the internet for the info that should be there? Skip the guide!!! I wish I had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enemy Intel Locations Are Covered, November 11, 2009

By	T. Fitzpatrick - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A previous reviewer states that the guide does not provide the enemy intel locations. In actuality, the guide does provide this information.

If you look at the maps that accompany each mission, you'll see icons that mark all of the enemy intel locations. They're the orange squares with the letter "i" on the left side and a number inside the square. The map legends identify these icons as Intel.

UPDATE:

The publisher's web site has posted corrected versions of the maps for pages 17 and 93. Here's a direct link to the corrected maps:
