Modern Warfare 2 campaign guide: How to complete Mission 8 - Hardpoint

sportskeeda.com:

The eighth mission of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign takes the classic aerial support concept and converts it into fully-fledged combat gameplay. After the seventh mission where Ghost, Soap, and Alejandro ambush Hassan's base and capture him alive, this one is rather a support-based endeavor to escort him to safety.

During the mission, players will play as Shadow-1 and oversee weapon systems in an aerial support vehicle. The weapon loadout in the helicopter comprises an LTM Missile, a 40mm Cannon, and a 25mm Cannon that they can use at their disposal.

The LTM missile has quite a larger area of effect that can damage multiple bogeys in an area. Meanwhile, the 25mm Cannon is great for taking out normal enemies and the 40mm Cannon is instrumental against large groups or enemy convoys.
