Unlockable modes

Veteran mode – Reach level 32. It’s a Co-op mode with stronger enemies.
Zombie mode – Complete campaign mode.
Getting more ammunition
Use the following trick if run out or are running low on ammunition on any mission in Solo mode. Find a non-essential teammate (someone not involved in the story line). Walk up to him and aim the reticule next to his head or torso. Knife the air, and as you do so move slightly towards them so that the reticule is over them. If done correctly, your teammate should die and should drop his weapon. The difficulty setting will not matter. Non-essential teammates will get replaced when you walk into a battle. If the teammate does not die but keeps getting back up, they are essential to the story (for example, Sgt. Roebuck and Sgt. Rezenov).
Multi-player mode: Hide among the dead
Find some dead bodies. Run up to them and make sure no one else is around besides your teammates. Get down into laying position. Then crawl into what appears to be the body of the dead person, so it looks like there are fragments of the body around your HUD. Lower your gun, but have it high enough to still see what is coming. This trick will make it harder for people to see you unless they are paying close attention to the ground. The flaws to this trick is that people can sneak up from behind and see you, and you can only see in one direction without moving. After a few kills move to another location because other players will pick up on your trick and grenade or rush you.
