Intel

Intel items are laptops found in the singleplayer levels of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and the singleplayer levels of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that can be picked up. There are 30 of them (45 in Modern Warfare 2) to find and, once collected, allow access to cheats (only Modern Warfare) via the pause menu upon completion of the game. If you are uncertain if you have collected all pieces of intel in a certain mission, you can go to the cheats menu, and it'll show how many intel pieces you've gathered in total, and in the current mission.

Trivia

 * The intel pieces are Voodoo Envy computers.
 * In the description for Ragtime Warfare, it apparently activates "Chaplin Omega", an obvious reference to '20s comedy actor Charlie Chaplin.
 * A Bad Year is a reference to Goodyear, an American company that makes tires.
 * When the M203, GP-25 or RPGs are used with the Infinite Ammo cheat, they become fully automatic, though the M203 on the M16A4 has the highest ROF.
 * Sometimes, a glitch can occur on "One Shot, One Kill" where the door to the last intel item never opens, rendering the intel impossible to get. It is still possible to play through the level again and get it, however. Another way is to go to the original spawn point behind the swimming pool and the doors will then open.
 * You don't have to finish the entire mission to obtain the intel. Just grab it, and you're good to go.
