Stay Sharp

Stay Sharp is a Special Ops Mission Mode challenge in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The objective is to clear all enemy targets, while avoiding all civilians, and reaching the end within a certain time limit. This level is very similar to the CQB test from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and the Special Ops mission, "The Pit", from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. There is also a similar mission, "Charges Set", that uses the same course and setting, but includes the use of breaching charges and slow-motion sequences.
==Overview==
The level takes place in a training area with both stationary and moving enemy and civilian targets popping up. The player takes control of Derek "Frost" Westbrook. The player starts with an ACR 6.8 and a USP.45 (but can change weapons on the table at the beginning of the mission), and is tasked with charging through the level as fast as possible.
One star is rewarded for completing the course in 40 seconds or more, two stars for finishing between 28 and 40 seconds and 3 stars for completing in 28 seconds or less. Stars can also be deducted for collateral damage.

==Trivia==
*Sandman is waiting at the end of the course, behind a desk, encircled with multiple targets. No matter how the player reacts, he will thank him for "not taking his head off."
*Truck and Grinch are seen watching the player to the left when the mission begins and to the right before entering the last room. Shooting them will also cause a 'Friendly Fire' mission failure.
*There is a picture of Shepherd in the room Sandman is in. It appears that three knives have been thrown at the picture.
*In the truck at the beginning, there are an AK-74u and a USP .45 without tactical knife (they are also found in the same place in "Charges Set"). Upon picking one of these weapons up, Truck will say "Aah, someone brought their own toys to the party."
*The starting USP. 45 with the Tactical Knife has a 1.2x zoom.
*A teddy bear can be seen in a truck before the player has to clear the building.
*A shooting range with a table with three melons can be found if the player goes left before starting the course. The melons can be destroyed.
*It is possible to see an One Man Army Bag and a container with a Shadow Company logo in the last room.
