No Fighting in the War Room: COD4 Speedrun Tutorial

Move into the vents ahead of Griggs. Throw a flash in front of Prices’ line of sight, this will stop his path and allow you to push in front at the first corner, doing this will save about 15secs. Wallrun along the left wall until the final corner, at this point transition to the right wall, this potentially avoids a level ending softlock, though we are currently not sure how to avoid it 100%. With the rpd out run through the following areas as fast as possible. Shoot to stun, not kill if possible, generally speaking the risk of dying from getting shot is not very high so long as you keep moving, so you really just want to avoid getting meleed. This will simply take some practice to get down, but it is always better to keep moving forward than to stop and kill the enemies around you, only kill them if they are physically blocking your path forward, such as at the doorway leading to the stairs, Switch to the grenadier on the stairs and take out the 2 enemies just past that next doorway behind the boxes, they can prematurely damage you which is very risky for the next area. Reload and fire another grenadier into the group of people ahead. Switch back to the rpd and clear a path through, if the grenadier was well placed you shouldn’t have to shoot too many enemies here. Continue, shooting any enemies that get too close, same as the upstairs area. Going left or right in this next area is the same, just do whatever you feel most comfortable with. When you reach the final corridor leading to the middle section all enemies will de-spawn, rushing for this trigger is usually the safest thing to do if you are close, so long as the path is free. This will teleport Price and Griggs, who will start running to the door, if either of them are standing still, or running weirdly and slowly, shoot them to reset their animation, this will set them back to full speed. You can press Tab to check the mini-map here, if there is a 3rd ally somewhere on the map you will softlock, the only way out of this is to pray that they de-spawn (prettymuch impossible), or restart the level. Price will wait at the door until you get through, so go ahead of him, or right behind in order to not lose any time. Reload all your weapons and wait for the blast doors to open. Fire a grenadier infront of you at the enemy that runs out from the left, then reload and fire another into the room on the right to prevent that enemy from going into last stand. Clear out the next 5 or 6 enemies as fast as possible, preferably with another grenadier shot, when they are all dead Price and Griggs will move up. Place c4 on the wall and blow it up as fast as possible. Shoot any stragglers you see while waiting for some more enemies to group up into the little room in the back left corner, then fire a grenadier in there. Enter the launch codes with the keyboard as fast as possible. You can move price back through the broken wall towards the blast doors to open the next door a little bit faster, this is incredibly finicky though, and not super important. Wait for the next door to open and then kill the group of 9 enemies as fast as possible, be wary of dropped grenades by the last 4. When these are clear Price and Griggs should teleport up and start running to the lift. Wait in the lift for a while, and then run towards the final area. This area is very random, but again you have to clear every single enemy as fast as possible, enemies in last stand still count as being alive. Be careful of barrels close to you, near the truck, you can easily die to them. The fastest way is to fire 2 or 3 grenadier shots into the middle of the area and hope you get lucky, if this doesn’t work either look for any enemies left alive, or run out and check behind all the cars, they can be hidden in some weird places in last stand.
