For the 'right' door, you have a knife soldier on the right (when you breach). If you face the room from the stairs, the 'left' door has a knife soldier on the left (when you breach). When things are clear, switch to a weapon with a plain Jane sight (the M4A1 is fine) and breach both doors in the final hostage room. When enemies on the ground are no more, take one of the CheyTac Interventions with Thermal and gun down the shooters in the windows. Simply thin out enemies from here and when things get quiet, check the 'left' side (around the silo) for the team of shooters guarding the Dragunov marksman. You will find a great corner to hide in between the rig's railing and a large (indestructable) fuel silo. From the top of the stairs, keep going forward and past the forklift. Once the chopper is downed with the Stinger (you won't hear its rotor ambience any more), take in a second weapon (keep the M4A1 you start with because you need it for the breach exercises) like the F2000 w/ Thermal. Of course, enemies are there too, so if you manage to thin them out (by drawing them out and sapping them with pre-planted claymores and ambush), you can get into the Stinger room with little trouble. You can sprint/run/avoid the chopper to the middle deck (above deck 2) and slip into the rig's big interior room where there are two Stinger SAMs.

The attack chopper on Veteran will be more evasive and you may not be able to take it out with the RPG-7 or AT-4 (both of which were designed for enemy ground armor anyway). From the second hostage room to the final hostage room (in the smoke screen ambush on the top deck), it's mostly about the attack chopper and taking enemies out slowly as they spawn. If you're having trouble clearing the hostage rooms, try using just a single hip shot on enemies (and have your sensitivity set to 7 or higher) and firing when your crosshairs turn red. Clearing the first room is easy once you do, having one player take the spot on the scaffold with the Dragunov and a second in the hostage room to funnel them outside is handy. _ Echo _ Wetwork (Assault) Completed on: Veteran This stage is essentially the second hostage room to the final one (including the attack chopper and the smoke screen ambush). All you need to do is create another PSN ID or Xbox Gamertag. With large televisions being so cheap (a 36' cathode ray tube is cheap), use split-screen if you need the help.

There's absolutely *NO* excuse for not having a second player because there is split-screen. The Spec Ops missions are designed for two people (especially on Veteran).
