Cheats are unlocked not by inserting passwords, but by acquiring the thirty Intel Pieces strewn throughout the game. The more of them you collect, the more cheats you can access. On the left are the number of Intel Pieces collected, and on the right are the cheats that are unlocked, with an explanation of what each does.

• 2 - "CoD Noir" Play the game in black and white.

• 6 - "Super Contrast" Game's contrast increases.
• 8 - "Ragtime Warfare" The game feels like an old silent movie.

• 20 - "Slow-Mo Ability" Game plays at 40% normal speed.
• 30 - "Infinite Ammo" Just what it says.

Below is the level distribution list for Intel Pieces, which are enemy laptops full of information strewn throughout the game. There are thirty of them total. The left column is the level in question, while the right column is how many Intel Pieces can be found on that level. Levels with no Intel Pieces are excluded completely.

• Level 2 - 2
• Level 4 - 2
• Level 5 - 3
• Level 6 - 2
• Level 7 - 2
• Level 9 - 3
• Level 10 - 2
• Level 12 - 2
• Level 13 - 3
• Level 14 - 2
• Level 16 - 2
• Level 17 - 1
• Level 18 - 2
• Level 19 - 2

You can unlock all of the intel laptops automatically on the PC version of CoD4, but since you'll need to mess with your game's files a little bit, you're doing so at your own risk.

Simply go to your player profile (it will look something like this: C:\program files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\player\YOURPROFILENAMEHERE), and search for a file called config.cfg.

Open the file by double-clicking it (or right-click it and open it in Notepad) and search for "cheat_points", minus the quotes, via the CTRL+F function. There will be a number next to cheat_points -- change it to "30" and all intel laptops will be automatically unlocked!

To unlock Arcade Mode, beat the game once through on any difficulty level. Arcade Mode itself is split into two options - Full Challenge or Level Challenge - that add extra replayability to the game.

To unlock Prestige Mode, which is a multiplayer-only mode, you must reach experience level fifty-five. Instead of capping out at level fifty-five, which is the highest level, Prestige Mode allows you to start again from level one. This can be done a total of ten times, giving you ten different icons in in-game lobbies to show your extreme achievement.
