COLLECTIBLES
Call of Duty: Ghosts Rorke Files
Find one laptop in each of the 18 campaign missions. Pick it up before finishing the level; the mission-select replay can recover anything missed.
From my notes. Locations below follow PowerPyx's published text guide (5 November 2013), checked against IGN's Rorke Files guide (updated 6 November 2013). These are attributed guide directions, not a claim of a new in-game walkthrough; some room landmarks are phrased differently between sources.
All 18 file locations
1. Ghost Stories — After returning from space and crossing the car, enter the one-way house; check on the right near its exit.
2. Brave New World — After the MAAWS helicopter sequence and MATV ride, enter the base, go up to the third floor, and check the large table in the computer room.
3. No Man's Land — At the open area with the broken windmill, pass the enemies and enter the nearby building; the file is inside. IGN describes the landmark as the trailer by the crane and crashed satellite.
4. Struck Down — After breaching the slow-motion room, clear enemies, then inspect the lockers on the left as you entered (IGN: near the baseball shirts).
5. Homecoming — At the opening allied camp house, check the ground floor's left corner table before climbing the stairs.
6. Legends Never Die — After Rorke pulls you from the flood, cross the long platform and enter the opposite building; check where the two guards were standing.
7. Federation Day — After rappelling down and cutting into the tower, check the room to the left of the server-room objective; the laptop may be easier to spot from another angle in the dark room.
8. Birds of Prey — At the final Rorke room, grab the file from his desk immediately; the mission ends shortly after entry.
9. The Hunted — Near the regroup point up the hill, check beside the waterfall to the left of your teammates.
10. Clockwork — After the lights go out and night vision comes on, pass the security checkpoint and enter the accessible central office; check its table.
11. Atlas Falls — After the grapnel and common-room fight, reach the control room where your teammate handles the last guard; check the right side as you enter.
12. Into the Deep — After the torpedo strike and swim through the rusty tanker, clear the enemies and look slightly right on the seabed, on the first rock. PowerPyx notes the laptop takes a moment to sink into view.
13. End of the Line — In the large room with the satellite and rockets, go down the short stairs just after entering and turn around; the file is on a box.
14. Sin City — After the Egyptian-style casino, crouch under the gate your teammate raises and look immediately left in the seating area.
15. All or Nothing — Turn around at the start and inspect a bunk (IGN specifies the second bunk set on the left).
16. Severed Ties — After launching the missile, descend the stairs; when Hesh opens the door, turn right into the small side room and check the computer terminal.
17. Loki — After the space explosion and the two enemies, look left by the shiny orange/copper panel; the file floats, so collect it promptly.
18. The Ghost Killer — Turn around in the starting room and check the back corner for the final file.
Track progress and finish the set
There is one file in each mission. Collect all 18 to unlock Audiophile. PowerPyx says pickup progress saves immediately, including if you die or quit; missed files can be replayed through mission select.
Check Campaign → Rorke Files from the main menu, or pause during a mission to see the file status. Use the mission list if you need to identify a replay. Sources: PowerPyx location guide (5 Nov 2013); IGN Rorke Files (updated 6 Nov 2013).
