** You can retain unlimited missiles and still advance through a campaign using this workaround:

Go into one of the single missions and activate the unlimited ammo cheat (ie ~ W. Leave the single mission without finsihing. Return to the campaign to find that you have unlimited missiles but that the game doesn't know it!

Volition Pirate Ship
During a game, type in "arrrrwalktheplank" and the Volition Pirate Ship will jump in right into the game. This ship is on your side! It won't move, nor will you be able to give it any commands, but it will shoot at enemies who come within its proximty. You can use it as a defensive backup. (especially for missions where you have to protect things).
