Since the beginning of this franchise, Call of Duty has given us innumerable Campaign missions. The modern generation of CoD might be obsessed with Multiplayer and Zombies modes, but still today, Campaign remains the most sought after aspect of the franchise, no matter how hard it is. However, there are some Campaign missions which still give nightmares to the fans.
Top 5 hardest Call of Duty missions of all time

5. Loose Ends - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Not just technically, but also emotionally, this mission is arguably the hardest. You have played this mission in your childhood days, you might have already realized at an early age how betrayal from your close person looks like. Yes, this is the infamous mission where the commanding Officer of Task Force 141, Lieutenant General Shepherd, will kill two of the most loved characters of the game, that too in a brutal way.
After escaping an enemy ambush you have to clear a cabin where you have to set up the DSM to download required info and then comes the enemy hoards. Until the whole download process gets finished, you won't have any clue from where the enemy waves are coming. After barely surviving this massacre, you have to hand over that DSM to Shepherd, only to get burned on the spot. This mission might not be the toughest to complete, but has to be the toughest to overcome that scene, which is right now popping in your head.
4. Vendetta - Call of Duty: World at War
Unlike the other missions, where you had to survive hoards of enemy waves, in Vendetta, your mission was to survive, just survive. In this mission, you are all alone with Sgt. Reznov with whom you have to sneak through the German soldiers to finally kill General Amsel. The major highlight of this whole mission is the 'cat and mouse' like sniper battle between you and an enemy soldier from a far building.
Completing this battle in Hardened mode is almost impossible because all you get is the flash of your enemy's scope to kill him. In the hardest difficulty, that flash just for a second, and even before that disappears, you will be killed. Even if you survive this, you will still have to provide sniper cover fire to your comrades, and ultimately kill General Amsel.
3. Dust to Dust - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
This is the final mission of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 where Yuri and Captain Price will embark upon a one-way out journey to kill Makarov, the central antagonist of the trilogy. Initially the mission will feel a lot easier as you and Price will be stacked up in Juggernaut suits with LMGs in your hands. However, try to play this mission in Veteran or Hardened modes, and will barely be able to cross the enemy flocks.
Even if you do, the luxury of wearing those suits won't be long as an enemy chopper will blast off your elevators, destroying the Juggernaut suits and almost burning Yuri. The mission will become more daunting after you leave your suits as there is no stoppage of enemy waves. Again you will have to get over with another emotional barrier when Yuri dies in the hands of Makarov. However, you can't pause and mourn his death as you have to chase Makarov down where you will finish him off in one of the most cinematic and enthralling battle scenes of the franchise.
2. All Ghillied Up - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Just like Vendetta in World at War, this mission is all about proper resilience and patience. One wrong step, and you are gone. All Ghillied Up might be the most popular missions of Call of Duty, as it literally changed the course of the game. Unlike typical Call of Duty battle frenzy experience, this mission was all about stealth. Not just sneaking through, you literally have to lie down under the approaching enemy armies and tanks with your Ghillie suits and let them pass.
You even don't have any other path because choosing other ways to progress will lead you to death by radioactive poisoning. After sneaking through and settling in a safe building, you can't let go of your disguise as it's impossible to complete this mission with all guns blazing, because no matter how much you defend yourself, you are gonna get killed eventually. And if you hate dogs, then please don't play this mission.
1. One Shot, One Kill - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Who doesn't remember this mission? The Ferris wheel in this scene still gives the OG players nightmares. The main objective of the mission was to kill the central antagonist of the game, Imran Zakhaev. Playing as Captain Price, you have to set yourself up in a building at a perfect sniping spot. There, you have to shoot Zakhaev from far, keeping in mind the direction of the air. However, you will only be able to chop Zakhaev's hand as he will eventually escape.
If this sounds tough to you, then don't play this level, because what's tough, is after that. You first have to shoot down a pilot of an attacking chopper. Then after reaching the extraction point, you have to defend Captain McMillan and yourself with just a sniper rifle and USP. 45 pistol until the rescuing chopper shows up. And do you know the fun part? Capt. McMillan's leg will be injured in the middle of the mission, so he won't be able to move and you have to protect him as well.

Mary Janes: The shoes that never went out of style

'Mary Jane shoes are versatile and can be styled in many ways, depending on the occasion and your personal aesthetic,' Namita Alexander, celebrity stylist From the standard school shoes style for girls to Carrie Bradshaw's discovery of the legendary Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes in an episode of Sex and the City , we have all been introduced to Mary Jane shoes in different ways. Versatile and timeless, they can be worn by both men and women and styled in many ways, depending on the occasion. If the recent Spring Summer 2025 showcase at Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks is anything to go by, Mary Janes have been conquering the runways, with reinterpretations by luxury brands like Miu Miu, Prada, Bally and Wales Bonner. Once the 'it' shoes for clubbing in the 1920s, Mary Janes have remained a fashion staple over decades. How to style Mary Janes CASUAL LOOK: Pair your Mary Janes with a cute sundress or a flowy skirt for a feminine, playful vibe. They also work well with skinny jeans or baggy denim. For a more relaxed feel, try them with a simple T-shirt and denim shorts WORK/OFFICE LOOK: For a polished, businesscasual look, opt for neutral or black Mary Janes with a tailored dress, a pencil skirt, or trousers paired with a blouse PREPPY LOOK: Channel schoolgirl chic by styling your Mary Janes with knee-high socks or tights, a pleated skirt, and a button-down shirt or sweater VINTAGE/RETRO LOOK: Lean into the shoe's nostalgic appeal by pairing them with a retroinspired tea-length dress with a floral pattern or a high-waisted skirt with a tucked-in blouse Inputs by celebrity stylist Namita Alexander 'Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes?! I thought these were an urban shoe myth!' Carrie Bradshaw exclaims, as she finds a pair in the fashion closet at the Vogue office, in season 4 of Sex and the City. The iconic style turned 30 last year – first debuting in August 1994 'Balance the feminine nature of the shoes with fitted tops' While styling Mary Janes, balance is the key, say stylists. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Sleek Mary Janes complement structured outfits, while chunkier styles look great with relaxed fits. A monochrome outfit paired with a bold shoe colour can also elevate the look,' says celebrity stylist and personal shopper Dipika Mohta. Celebrity stylist Pyu Mishra adds, 'Balance the feminine nature of the shoes with fitted tops or blazers. When choosing Mary Janes, ensure a proper fit. Opt for highquality synthetics or leather for durability, and select a heel height that matches your comfort level.' What to avoid  Avoid pairing delicate Mary Janes with overly bulky pieces, as the contrast can look unbalanced  Be mindful when styling them with socks — some styles work well, but thick or heavily patterned ones might take away from the shoe's elegance. Stick to thinner socks like tights, ankle socks, or knee-highs for a polished look  Since Mary Janes have a distinctive style, avoid overaccessorising with chunky jewellery or too many statement pieces. Let the shoes be the focal point to prevent the outfit from looking too busy – Inputs by Dipika Mohta and Namita Alexander The origin of Mary Janes Mary Jane, a character from the Buster Brown comic strip, played a significant role in popularising these shoes in mainstream culture. The classic design — closed-toe, lowcut, with one or more straps across the instep — was worn by both Mary Jane and Buster Brown. Some of us were first introduced to these shoes through Alice in Wonderland , Sex and the City and Clueless .

Rana Daggubati breaks silence on Deepika Padukone's alleged 8-hour workday demand for exiting Prabhas's 'Spirit': ‘There are actors who only work four hours a day…'

Tollywood star Rana Daggubati has joined the ongoing discussion about work-life balance following Deepika Padukone 's alleged demand for eight-hour workdays in Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's film 'Spirit', which recently stirred considerable buzz in the entertainment industry. Reports suggested that Deepika opted out of the Prabhas-starrer due to contractual disagreements regarding her working hours and remuneration. Rana Daggubati on work life balance In an interview with The Lallantop, Rana offered a perspective on the practicality of implementing uniform work schedules in the Indian film industry. 'We should understand that India is a developing country. We are not a developed nation. Our economy is probably 186th in the world if you look at the per capita income. So to me, it is not work, it is a lifestyle,' he stated. No Makeup, All Style: Deepika Padukone's Travel Fashion Win Rana also highlighted the diverse nature of film production across various regions. The Telugu actor explained that there is no universal template.'It depends on the project, the person, and the region. For example, Maharashtra follows a 12-hour shift starting at 9 am, while Telugu cinema typically has an 8-hour shift beginning at 7 am,' he noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Rana about Deepika's alleged 8-Hour workdays demand He further shared his personal view on the physical and mental toll of extended shooting schedules on actors. 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. It's a choice. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them. There are actors who only work four hours a day — that's their system,' he said. About Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Deepika Padukone's cold war Amidst the ongoing debate, a new report from News18 claimed that Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit had no connection to work-life balance. Instead, the report alleged that she had demanded a higher remuneration along with a share in the profits, and had declined to deliver dialogues in Telugu. However, the Jawan actress' team has yet to respond to these claims. Following her departure, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter), referring to it as a 'dirty PR game.' Rana's work front Meanwhile, Rana Daggubati is currently gearing up for the release of the next season of his OTT series 'Rana Naidu', which is set to premiere on June 13.

From Mars to Saturn: How each planet teaches you life lessons

Because the solar system didn't just come to orbit—it came to rigorously educate everyone, both painfully and poetically. Sun – The Ego Professor Lesson : Identity & Self-Worth The Sun illuminates how confidence is constructed (or, at times, brutally dismantled). It teaches the often painful distinction between "Who am I, really?" and "Who am I pretending to be?" This planet operates much like that high school teacher who forces public speaking exercises, claiming it's meant to "build character. " Spoiler alert: it actually works. Moon – The Therapist Who Cancels Last Minute Lesson: Emotional Security The Moon instructs us on how to truly feel , not just merely function. Its lessons often arrive in powerful waves—some nurturing and supportive, others feeling completely overwhelming or even drowning. Expect to unexpectedly unpack childhood trauma mid-Monday. Remember, healing isn't a linear process, but it is deeply lunar. Mercury – The Debate Club Moderator Lesson: Communication & Mental Clarity Mercury teaches that every single word carries weight—and so does every poorly understood text message. It misses no minute details but can instigate emotional chaos if left unchecked. This is especially true during its retrograde periods. At those times, it's akin to turning in essays without spellcheck and dealing with important calls that never seem to connect. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Venus – The Aesthetic Guru Lesson: Love, Value & Self-Worth Venus often doles out glittery heartbreaks to underscore the crucial importance of self-love. It compels us to re-evaluate who genuinely deserves our affection, rather than just focusing on who looks good on paper. It also has a strange way of making one become utterly obsessed with skincare during a painful breakup. All in all, a very educational experience. Mars – The Personal Trainer from Hell Lesson: Desire, Anger & Action Mars delivers its lessons primarily through friction. It sends along rage issues, intense gym addictions, and heated relationship arguments, all just to pose the fundamental question: "So, what are you really fighting for?" The answer, surprisingly, isn't always about achieving perfect abs. It's about authenticity. Jupiter – The Guru Who Takes Students on Road Trips Lesson: Growth Through Chaos Jupiter imparts lessons in optimism, ethics, and unwavering faith—usually by abruptly dropping someone into completely unfamiliar territory with absolutely no Wi-Fi. This planet strongly believes in learning through direct experience. And, on occasion, through some rather expensive mistakes. Saturn – The Ruthless Life Coach Lesson: Discipline & Reality Checks Saturn simply does not care about your whimsical dreams—it only cares about deadlines. It teaches patience, the importance of firm boundaries, and how to truly "adult" even when the urge to quit feels overwhelming. Every single breakdown it instigates is fundamentally a setup for a significant breakthrough. Uranus – The Electric Shock Professor Lesson: Rebellion & Change Uranus delivers its lessons by abruptly pulling the rug out from under you. One day, you have perfect stability; the next, there's a llama inexplicably in your living room. It forces evolution through sheer chaos, but somehow manages to make it the most liberating chapter of your life. Neptune – The Delusional Dream Mentor Lesson: Illusion vs. Intuition Neptune's primary teaching involves distinguishing between comforting fantasy and genuine, deeply felt faith. It brings forth waves of inspiration, but also addiction, intoxicating romance, and profound confusion. You either manage to create incredible art… or you find yourself texting an ex at 3 a.m. It's a very fine line. Pluto – The Soul Surgeon Lesson: Transformation Through Death & Rebirth Pluto doesn't politely knock. It actively detonates. It teaches profound lessons about power, control, and discovering the inherent beauty of starting completely anew from the ashes of ruin. It only enrolls students who are brave enough to walk through emotional fire barefoot.
