Airfield: Nazi Zombie Building
Go to the multiplayer map "Airfield". Go to the first side, which is the one where you spawn behind the big building then go out to the field. Instead, go inside the building and examine it. Look around at the pillars and windows, then go upstairs to the left. Look around some more and on the balcony. Notice it is the same building in the Nacht Der Untoten (zombie) mission, except all the entrances are walled up or blocked by an invisible wall.

Asylum: Strange Sounds
You can also hear a disembodied voice near the bathroom. It comes from just outside of the bathroom, and is best heard in Spectator mode.

Just outside of the bathroom on Asylum, exactly where the disembodied voice is heard, you can also hear a crying girl. She will switch back and forth from crying to laughing, and just like the voice, is quite disturbing.

All around the stairs that are a bit away from where the piano can be heard, you can here knocking on the wood that is covering up all the windows. If you fly around constantly as a spectator, you will hear this wooden knocking sound everywhere. It distinctly sounds like someone deliberately knocking on wood. It can also be heard on the boarded up windows on the other side of the map.

Asylum: Ghostly Piano Record
Above the bathroom in an invisible room, a piano can clearly be heard being played on a record player. The piano can only be heard if you music setting in the options menu is on.

Cliffside: Strange Voice
On the Japanese spawn side of the map are two concrete bunkers. Go into the one at the top of the hill (with Japanese Flags on it) in Spectator mode. Go through one of the little windows into the back area of the bunker. Turn around and turn up the volume. You should hear a strange garbled and quite disturbing voice coming from the wall. It is a disembodied voice.

Cliffside: Mysterious Shrub
Go into Spectator mode on Cliffside and look down the cliff at the beach. To the left, you should see a small crater on the beach where a mortar shell has hit. Fly down through the crater and keep going down. Eventually, you will go into some invisible water. Come up out of the water a bit and look around. You should see a large bush nearby in the mist. It is just floating there very far under the map.

Dome: Big Crowd
Go into the large pit as a spectator, and you will hear the Red Army shouting their battlecry of "URA! URA! URA!". Oddly enough, you cannot hear them at all from within the actual map boundaries (unless you are unfortunate enough to fall in).

Downfall: Animal Shadows
Go to the map in Spectator mode. Look for a drivable tank to the left and in front of two trucks. From there, it should be exactly next to the destroyed building you are looking for. Make sure the truck behind the tank is in front of a destroyed Flak cannon, and the building is to the left according to the direction of the tank. After you find the building notice that the walls are divided into squares or segments. And keep note the correct building is not alone; it is connected to a series of buildings. Line up the tank exactly with the square segment it is next to on the building. Look carefully at the shadows and notice how they fade out the walls. If you look carefully enough looking at the whole wall square, you should see a chicken with its wings in the air with big bulging eyes. Two segments over you should see a fat pig standing up and smiling.

Hangar: Torture Chamber
In the bottom of the two story tin building on the Marine's spawn side is a jail cell with a dead tortured Russian soldier in it. Coming from the door in the cell, you can periodically hear a Japanese person torturing another soldier.

Little Resistance: Ray Gun
After the boat crashes, call in an air strike on the specified location. Run up to the beach and move to the right. You will find a small puddle at the right side of the beach. Stand in it briefly, then move towards the middle of the beach to find a smaller puddle. Stand in that puddle briefly. Move towards the far left side of the beach. Stand briefly in the puddle in the barb wire. After several seconds the screen will shake and you will hear strange voices. Four lion statues will rise out of the ground with alien ray guns in their mouths.

Nacht Der Untoten: Hidden Radio Music
Start any sort of Nazi Zombie game and unlock the door to the Mystery Box room. Go to the Mystery Box. Go over to the right and look at a table to find a radio. Shoot a bullet at the radio then wait a few seconds. You will hear random sorts of music such as rock, disco, opera, and some in game music such as the Russian victory song, the last level music, or the Japanese combat music. The music will stop in between rounds but will then start again. Every player in game can even hear it.

Getting More Ammunition
Use the following trick if run out or are running low on ammunition on any mission in Solo mode. Find a non-essential teammate (someone not involved in the story line). Walk up to him and aim the reticule next to his head or torso. Knife the air, and as you do so move slightly towards them so that the reticule is over them. If done correctly, your teammate should die and should drop his weapon. The difficulty setting will not matter. Non-essential teammates will get replaced when you walk into a battle. If the teammate does not die but keeps getting back up, they are essential to the story (for example, Sgt. Roebuck and Sgt. Rezenov).

Saving Private Ryan Reference
There will be a section where you will be asked to "Save Private Ryan". This is a reference to the critically acclaimed film Saving Private Ryan.

Makin: Invisible Chimes
Go to the path that circles around the woods and the map. Keep walking until you see a series of Japanese statues and square rocks. Go to the statue that is lit up and enclosed by other square rocks. It should stand out from the others and should be facing you. Get as close to the statue as possible and wait. You will start to hear bells, chimes, or metal tools rattling against each other that are very loud. Although the sounds are coming from in front of you, nothing is there.

Cannot Die Due to Fire
When a car is on fire, jump onto its roof. The fire will hurt you, but not kill you.
