Modern Warfare 2 Borderline Tips & Guides

Don’t Shoot At Civilians

De escalate civilians

The mission involves going around a neighborhood filled with civilians. As part of the Mexican special forces, shooting at one spells a game over. Keep calm and don’t panic as you navigate through the houses. Some civilians may come out and startle you so move slowly and just aim at them to prevent them from attacking.

Watch Out For Ambushes

Beware of Ambushes

Similar to the second mission, this map has a lot of close quarters combat. Some enemies will stand behind doors, waiting for you to come in and attack. Move slow and don’t rush.
