The campaign for Modern Warfare 2 has two collectible achievements, for obtaining 22 and 45 (all) intel items. The names for these are "The Road Less Traveled" and "Leave No Stone Unturned" , respectively.

Most of these intel items are easy to find, but some you must go out of your way. This guide will provide text-based instructions, supplemented with screenshots, directing to each of the 45 intel collectibles. It will also include links to other guides, which I personally used to find said collectibles.
