At the end of the Ghost Team mission, Valeria will tell you that the last rocket is in Chicago. After tracking Hasan to a high floor, you will have to take hostages and fight your way through the server rooms. Eventually, you will reach a checkpoint where a rocket will be launched. After that, you’ll have to fight off a few more enemies and chase Hasan down the elevator shaft. There you will lose your weapons but gain missile control.

Now this part is quite tricky. You will be standing in front of the soldiers with the controls in your hands. Turn around and start running. Find the door to the office or bathroom and hide there. Then open the Missile Control and follow these steps to detonate the countdown missile in Modern Warfare 2:

• Enable diagnostic mode by simultaneously pressing CLR and Mode (F and C on PC, X and B on Xbox, square and circle on PS).
• To override, Laswell will ask you what is in the second row, third column.
• This is %ESP
• Press the appropriate button to %ESP
• Now press Left and CLR at the same time to start overriding (A and F on PC; Left Arrow and B on Xbox; Left Arrow and Square on PS).
• Laswell will then ask you to be safe. If you are already well hidden, close Missile Control and open it again.
• To detonate the missile, press LNK when the green light turns on on the fourth circle (R on PC; Y on Xbox, Triangle on PS).

This is how you blow up a rocket in the Countdown mission. Next, you will need to dig around and find a box opener. Using this cutter, kill the guards and Hassan will knock you down. After a short cutscene, you will gain control of the Ghost to kill Hassan. Killing Hassan ends the mission.
