How do I get three stars on "The Pit" in Special Ops?

I've completed the campaign mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and I want to complete Special Ops. I'm stuck on "The Pit". We have to complete the level in 35 seconds to get three stars. I was only able to get two stars no matter how many times or how hard I tried. Can you give me some suggestions (e.g., shoot from the hip, or shoot while running rather than aiming down)?

Solution 1:

Use the pistol you start with and the Deagle. Line up your shots so one bullet takes out two targets (possible 3 or so times).

Switch to the other pistol instead of reloading.

Solution 2:

It's much easier with a co-op partner. When I did it, we split the targets between us in a predefined fashion so we had the whole run choreographed. I think aiming is necessary but only for a split second i.e. aim-shoot all at once.

Solution 3:

The key to completing The Pit in under 30 seconds is accuracy. The more accurate you are, the higher your bonus and the more seconds that are knocked off your actual time to give your final "score" time.

If you hit any civilians, forget it - start again.

Also, try and make use of the "snap" auto-targeting feature if you have the opportunity.

Other than that, it's just practice. It can be done solo - I did it a few weeks ago myself.

Solution 4:

I did it solo, after a gazillion tries, found out that lining up targets is the key, and reloading as rarely as possible.

Use the MP5, its aim-down-sight (ADS) and reload time is shorter than others. Run between targets, ADS, fire single shots, AIS, repeat. Melee the target at the top of the stairs, reload before jumping down.

Solution 5:

1. Choose your guns: I recommend ACR and M9 Tactical.
2. Switch weapons: In the house, as soon Shepard says MELEE Switch to your pistol, continue like that.
3. Practise: Don't just think it'll be a one time miracle, practise.
4. Don't hit civilians.
