The launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s Remastered Campaign has renewed the hunt for the intel spread throughout the game’s legendary story mode.
There are over 40 intel laptops scattered over MW2’s three acts. While some are easy to stumble on, others require a bit of exploration from the linear path that the game’s story takes players through.
Whether you’re experiencing the MW2 story for the first time or trying to add the ‘Leave No Stone Unturned’ achievement/trophy to your collection, here are all the intel locations for a thorough playthrough.
It’s no surprise that the remaster didn’t change the locations of the hidden items from 2009, so that should make the hunt easier for vets.
YouTube channel ‘PS4Trophies’ gave a clear rundown of where all the intel laptops in MW2 can be found.
The remaster did significantly change some lighting, objects, and (obviously) textures for some of the intel spots which could throw off people used to how the old one looks.
Fortunately, that’s a good thing when trying to find some of the sneakier intel laptops like the ones on the missions ‘Cliffhanger’ and ‘Just Like Old Times’.

If you’re still having trouble locating the laptops, here’s a rundown of where every intel item can be found across the MW2 Remastered Campaign.
