1. try to use silenced weapons (H&K mk23 pistol, MP5SD, M4a1 socom) - it does reduce the amount of enemies you encounter.
2. when you unlock the mossberg 590, go back and use it for the Irish Safehouse mission - it is easy to do this mission without losing any health, and you will unlock the medikit, which is indispensible during the later missions.
3. when you reach the last mission, it is important to study the firing patterns of the machine gunner. this part of the mission is in 3 mini stages. for stage 1 he will fire a 5 round burst, then pause. for stage 2 he will fire a 3 round burst and a 4 round burst, then pause. for stage 3 he will keep firing 3 round bursts in rapid succession. however, there will be a short pause, during which you can pop up and shoot him. It is easier during this bit of the mission to have your gun on single shot mode. DO NOT SHOOT THE JEEP, SHOOT THE MAN ON THE GUN.
4. for the 'gun running' challenge, use the Benelli shotgun. it will make it a lot easier to hit the targets.
5. for the pistol challenge, ALWAYS reload when it tells you to.
6. for the sniper mission and challenges, pay close attention to the wind. low wind - compensate by 0.5mm. med wind - 1mm. high wind - 2-3mm depending on range. AIM AHEAD OF MOVING TARGETS, BUT ACCOUNT FOR WIND AT THE SAME TIME.
7. take out targets one at a time, don't just run in like a crazy berserker thinking you have loads of health - you don't.
8. to get 2 extra mags - vital for later missions - simply use the Colt m4a1 on single shot mode to do the 'Irish Safehouse' mission. AIM FOR HEADSHOTS AND DON'T RELOAD!!!
9. shotgun reloads are interruptable, so don't feel you have to reload all 8 shells if you are being shot at. just reload 2 and shoot the enemy, then you can reload all 8.
10. use a certain degree of common sense. enemies who are further away are less likely to hit you, so take out the enemies in order of closest to furthest.

I didn't know that, thanks for the tip. I have finished the game in all modes anyway.

I think you can beat that level with any gun and you won't lose health. It is quite easy.

In the level 6, when you go underground and turn on the night vision and die (on elite), you come back to the beginning but the night vision glitches and you have to keep it on all the time. So I recommend to pay attention to the targets that are hidden in the underground.

Pretty sure. I played with the AK47 and died because there were so many enemies, tried it again and kept dying because there were loads of enemies, then I did the same mission all the way through with the H&K mk23 and hardly encountered any enemies at all.

Sometimes when I am using a handgun and it runs out of ammo when there are still enemies, the enemies start shooting at me like crazy so I have to change to the primary gun and shoot every where. It usually works when I am with the Colt Socom.

I have played the game a bunch and loved it, was unaware that silenced reduced the number of enemies. i thought it meant they wouldn't be ready for you. E.I. not having their gun drawn.
