Cheats



Cheats are unlockable options available that will either make a game easier, harder, or add a humorous aspect to it. Cheats are available in Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Call of Duty: World at War (and other games by using the Command Console).

There are two types of cheats. One type is unlocked by collecting intel (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) or Death Cards (Call of Duty: World at War) to unlock something special like unlimited ammo. The second type is executed by activating the Command Console. This can only be done on the PC versions of the games by pressing the tilde key. This can unlock cheats like invincibility and noclip mode. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops, no cheats at all can be used from the default game, but however, through a complex process, the player can activate a hotkey for cheats (See Section 7 on this page).

Call of Duty 3 cheats (for Wii) Select Campaign mode, and Chapter Select. Starting at Chapter 1, (Saint Lo) hold +, and while holding it, control stick right, control stick right, control stick left, control stick left, 2, 2. This unlocks ALL campaign levels, and ALL bonus material.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Cheats
(Cheats only available for use in Campaign and only after the player finishes the campaign.)


 * Collect 2 pieces of enemy intel.

CoD Noir: All color turns black and white.


 * Collect 4 pieces of enemy intel.

Photo-Negative: All colour is inverted.


 * Collect 6 pieces of enemy intel.

Super Contrast: Drastically increases the game's contrast.


 * Collect 8 pieces of enemy intel.

Ragtime Warfare: All colour is faded and yellowed, dust and scratches fill the screen, gameplay occurs at double speed, and piano music plays over any other sound in the game - as though playing in a silent movie. In the Nintendo Wii version of the game, this is replaced by a Paintball cheat, where all weapons fire paintballs instead of bullets. This has no effect on the weapon's performance, as it is purely for visual effect.


 * Collect 10 pieces of enemy intel.

Cluster Bombs: After a frag Grenade explodes, four more spawn and explode. This only affects the player's grenades, including enemy grenades which have been thrown back. This doesn't affect the Player's Special grenades, like Smoke and Flashbangs.


 * Collect 15 pieces of enemy intel.

A Bad Year: Dead enemies turn into tires. In the Wii version a headshot only produces this result.


 * Collect 20 pieces of enemy intel.

Slow-Mo Ability: When the melee button is pressed, the game slows down to half-speed.


 * Collect 30 pieces of enemy intel.

Infinite Ammo: Weapons have infinite magazines. RPGs and grenade launchers become automatic. Doesn't work with inventory weapons like C4 and Claymores, or smoke grenades.

More information on "noclip"

 * Noclip refers to clipping, a developer term meaning anything that restricts the player's movement. For example, a floor is clipping because it prevents the player from moving down. There is also invisible clipping, such as the invisible walls at the boundaries of a level which prohibit movement outside of the specified area.

Trivia

 * Using the "give all" command on the PC version of Call of Duty 4 and World at War will allow the player to use weapons that cannot be accessed without the cheat. Below is a gallery of such weapons.

Modern Warfare 2 Cheats
In Modern Warfare 2 for PC, cheats are also available, but by modifying game files. To enable cheats, the user must go to the "players" folder

(example: C:\Games\Modern Warfare 2\players). There, the "config.cfg" file must be opened with a text editor like Wordpad. The following line must be added at the end of the file first: seta thereisacow "1337" (the numbers must be in tidles) This will enable the cheats. Now, several other lines must be added. To use the cheats, the "bind" command must be used: bind X "Y" - on the place of X you must put a key, which is not in use (check the other "bind" lines, and ensure that the key you want isn't already in use). On the place of Y, between the two tidles, you must put the cheat code.

EXAMPLE: seta thereisacow "1337"

bind U "god"

bind V "notarget"

bind P "give ammo"

When ingame, you just have to press one of these keys, and the cheat code will be activated.

Almost all cheats from the first Modern Warfare work, but the "give all" cheat will make the game unplayable, as when it gives you the weapons all of them have the skin of the previous weapon you used (like: if you used the SCAR-H before using the cheat, and after that you are given an AK-47 and switch to it, it will look like the SCAR-H) and there will be no ammo for them, even if you refill at a crate or use the "give ammo" cheat. To disable a code, just press the needed key a second time. NOTE: cheat like "player_sustainammo", which need "1" or "0" to be inputed, will need a different key with the "0" inputed to be disabled

(example: bind Z "player_sustainammo 1", bind X "player_sustainammo 0")
