Cheats

Ragtime Warfare, A Bad Year, Infinite Ammo and godmode activated on All In on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

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, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Call of Duty: World at War.

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 modifying a file and then pressing the tilde key. This can unlock cheats like invincibility and noclip mode. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, 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.

Call of Duty Cheats

To unlock cheats, create a shortcut to the CoDSP.exe file located in the Call of Duty program files. Right click on the shortcut and go to Properties. Go to where it says Target and add the following onto the end of the existing link: +set thereisacow 1337 +set developer 1 +set sv_cheats 1 +set monkeytoy 0

If implemented correctly, the target name should be: C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDSP.exe +set thereisacow 1337 +set developer 1 +set sv_cheats 1 +set monkeytoy 0

In the game, pressing tilde (~) will bring up the command console, into which a number of cheats may be activated.

Ragtime Warfare: All color 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.
