As you may have realized, I have not been working on this much lately. If you
care at all, I apologize. I have been playing around with some of my new

stuff. There is a new Mulitplayer Guide by Brendan DeMeo. Very good, worth
checking out. I finished the missions up until the first British one. Look
for the rest of the missions in the next update. The most notable change is
the new format for the guide. I think it looks more organized now.

Call of Duty was released in late 2003 after a few months of enticing previews
and gameplay movies. Before it even came out, people were calling it better
than Medal of Honor: Allied Assault; MoHAA is widely called the best WWII
game ever created. That would be hard for any game to live up to but in my
honest opinion, it lived up to the hype. Call of Duty features 24 intense
single-player missions and a whole different game mode which allows you to go
online via the Internet or LAN to go head-to-head against other players around
the world.
Call of Duty is a unique game in that it calls for teamwork, strategy, and
squad based combat rather than your typical shooter game in which you just
charge ahead and shoot the enemy. In this game you_must_cooperate with your
squad members. If not you will quickly find yourself looking at a quote from
Winston Churchill on the game over screen. The enemies are smart, they will
use cover, throw grenades, throw your grenades back at you (I'm not joking),
and lurk in the shadows or around corners waiting for you to let your guard
down.
In this strategy guide I will walk you through the game step-by-step. I will
cover both single-player and multiplayer modes. If I have made any mistakes
in this guide I would like to know about them as soon as possible so that they
can be fixed. If you find that I have not covered something or you would like
to contribute your own tips to this guide then by all means tell me about them
and I will put them in.

August 9, 1942
Camp Toccoa, Georgia
More long marches tomorrow. Then obstacles with Cpt Foley and weapon training
with Sgt. Moody. Everyone is dead tired. Another guy got RTU (Return to
Unit) yesterday. He begged the Sgt to let him stay.
My unit, the 506th paratrooper regiment is an all volunteer unit. I'm lucky
to serve with these guys. There's no one I'd rather have watching my back.
Our officers Drill us continuously. I've trained for months and I haven't
even jumped out of an airplane yet. The army has never had an airborne unit
before, and that makes the brass nervous, and what makes the brass nervous
makes us train even harder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Read each sign. [5]
- Approach the sign indicated by the compass star.
- Open the gate to the obstacle course.
- Pick up both Carbines, hit the target a total of 12 times.
- Pick up the Springfield, hit the target a total of 4 times.
- Pick up a Thompson, hit the target a total of 10 times.
- Switch Weapons, hit the target 3 more times.
- Pick up some Grenades, throw a grenade into each window and door.
- Plant the explosives.
- Go through the last gate to exit training.
---------------------------------
Objective 1 : Read each sign [5]
---------------------------------
When the mission starts use this objective to get acclimated to the controls
of the game. Go around to each of the signs around the area and look at each
on, you should hear a beeping noise when you look at it, if not then adjust
your view. When the counter in the objectives list has reached zero the
objective is completed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Approach the sign indicated by the compass star
-------------------------------------------------------------
This couldn't be simpler. Just use your compass to stand on the point
indicated by the star on it.
--------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Open the gate to the obstacle course
--------------------------------------------------
Just run to the gate in the north and it will open.
------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Complete the obstacle course
------------------------------------------
Now you must complete the course. Press crouch and go through the cement
tubes. Then crawl under the next barrier and hop over the next three. When
you reach the barbed wire crawl all the way under it while the Sergeant sprays
bullets over your head. After the barbed wire you must climb up the ladder
and over the top of the wooden box. When you reach the bottom you will be
instructed to go through a door and to the weapons training area.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Pick up both Carbines, hit the target a total of 12 times
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the M1A1 Carbines on the bench and pick them up with the "F" key. When
you have them face the target and hit it 12 times. Try the Iron Sights to
improve your aim.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Pick up the Springfield, hit the target a total of 4 times
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through to the next area and pick up the Springfield sniper rifle. Try
aiming at the target that is downrange from you. You will see that it is
quite far away, so the way you can eliminate this obstacle is with the scope.
Just right-click and you will be aiming down the scope. Fire 4 shots at the
target and move on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 7 : Pick up a Thompson, hit the target a total of 10 times
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through the gate to the next area. Swap the Springfield for the Thompson
and fire 10 shots into the target.
---------------------------------------------------------
Objective 8 : Switch Weapons, hit the target 3 more times
---------------------------------------------------------
Switch your weapon to the other rifle that you have and fire three more shots
into the same target.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 9 : Pick up some Grenades, throw a grenade into each window and door
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through the next gate and pick up all the grenades on the table. Approach
the wall and let one fly into each of the openings. It may take you a few
tries for the windows but all you have to do is adjust your aim based on the
previous throw to get it right. If it bounces back at you then make sure you
duck down to avoid the blast.
-----------------------------------
Objective 10 : Plant the explosives
-----------------------------------
Grab the explosive on the table next to the tower and run up to the brick
structure in the pit to the north. Plant the explosives with the "F" button
and move your butt out of there before it gets blown off.
--------------------------------------------------------
Objective 11 : Go through the last gate to exit training
--------------------------------------------------------
Go through the last gate next to the tower and training will end. Now get
ready to be briefed and ship out, soldier!

Greenhorn Common, England
In about three hours I will be in Normandy. As one of the pathfinders for my
unit, I'll be landing ahead of the main airborne force. The pathfinders land
before the main force and place beacons in the landing fields, to guide the
rest of the pilots and paratroopers.
The brass are sending the airborne in first, in the early hours of the
morning, to protect the flanks of Utah Beach. At first light the main force
of the invasion will hit the beaches.
For weeks the entire invasion force, more than 175,000 men, has been cooped
up, and forbidden contact with anyone outside, with nothing toy do but
memorize maps and battle plans. We're all quite eager to be in France.
A few hours ago General Eisenhower paid us a visit. If we pull this off the
Germans are in for one hell of a surprise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Link up with Sgt. Heath.
- Get the sergeants Legbag.
- Set up the radio beacon.
- Defend the drop zone.
- Make your way to the nearest town.
-------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Link up with Sgt Heath.
-------------------------------------
As soon as you parachute into the level and land on the ground run up to the
wall that is north of your position. You will find it at the top of a small
slope. When you reach the wall, look to the west and spot the German guard
taking a piss by the tree. Use your Iron Sights to get in a clean head-shot
on him and then proceed to the objective marker on your compass. As you
approach it you will see that Sgt Heath landed himself in a tree and is now
dead.
----------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Get the Sergeant's legbag.
----------------------------------------
Go up to the yellow bag on the ground and pick it up using the "F" key.
--------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Set up the radio beacon.
--------------------------------------
Move towards the bunker ahead. As you get closer to it you will see that
there are two German soldiers playing a game of checkers inside. Whip out one
of your M2 Frag grenades and toss one right in-between the two of them. They
may not die if you threw it incorrectly, so if that is the case, shoot them
when they come into view.
Now go through the bunker and to the yellow glowing structure in the field.
Press the "F" key to set it up and the objective will be completed.
-----------------------------------
Objective 4 : Defend the drop zone.
-----------------------------------
Now you will get some real action. Duck behind one of the stone walls and
move to the right edge of it. Lean out carefully and shoot the person manning
the MG42 in the building ahead. Once he is out for the count pick off the
rest of the soldiers in the windows. Once they have all been eliminated one
of the soldiers will kick down the door to the building.
------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Make your way to the nearest town.
------------------------------------------------
Shoot the guard at the top of the stairs, where the smoke is. Now go out the
door and take cover. Take out the Germans in this little courtyard and make
sure to hit the one who opens the window above it. The window is in the next
building not the one you were just in.
Now enter the next building after shooting the German in the doorway. As you
move into the room with the dining table in it you will see a truck pull in
outside the window. Move to the stairs and lean out to take out the enemies.
You should also try throwing a grenade or two around.
Now move out of the building, though the doorway that doesn't lead to the
truck outside the window. As soon as you get outside, look behind the door
and shoot the German hiding there. Now follow Captain Foley through the
trench.

D-Day 0020 Hours
Nobody seems to have dropped where they were supposed to. I haven't yet seen
anyone from my unit yet, but luckily I've hooked up with some of the guys
from Baker Company. We also have men from Able, Dog, and Fox Companies with
us... what a mess.
We're getting ready to capture the village of Ste. Mere Eglise, about 5 miles
from Utah Beach. We're approaching through a narrow field with minefields on
each side.
Captain Foley says there's two platoons of German paratroopers in that village.
I'd say we've got a serious fight ahead of us.
The roads of Ste. Mere Eglise connect Utah Beach to the main highway of the
peninsula, which should put us right in the path of the most likely German
counterattack.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Destroy the "Flakpanzer" Anti-Aircraft tanks. [3]
- Debrief with Captain Foley at the crossroads.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Destroy the German "Flakpanzer" Anti-Aircraft Tanks [3]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Move through the trench and out onto the field. Captain Foley will give the
go ahead to the entire unit. Move through the field and when the artillery
starts coming in get behind either a cow on the ground or a tree. Lean out or
carefully crouch down and take out the two MG42 gunners ahead. Once they are
down move to the building and take out the new gunner on the ground floor with
a grenade. Now move to the next building and stay on the ground floor.
Look through the hole in the wall and you will see a small contingent of
Germans moving through an opening ahead. Shoot them down with the Thompson on
Full-Auto. Now move into the building and take out the two German ground
soldiers in there.
Outside the building is a gunner in an APC truck. I do not believe that he
can be killed with gunfire because I have yet to do so. The only way to kill
him is to toss a grenade under the APC truck and wait for it to blow.
Now move to the stone wall ahead. Eventually all the windows and openings
will be occupied by Germans. The best way to tackle this is to throw a
grenade into each doorway. This will take care of about half the enemy
soldiers. Now take out your Thompson and make sure that it is on Full-Auto.
Move into the building quickly and gun down every German in sight. Once they
have all been eliminated the game will auto save.
Now move to where the rest of your squad is engaged in another fire-fight.
Crouch behind one of the windows and take your time to pick off the Germans in
the small field ahead.
Move to the north, staying as close to the building you were in and hop over
the fence. Take out the Germans that peek out or approach from where you are.
When your squad moves ahead some MG42 gunners will pop out. Use the M1A1
Carbine to pick them off. Now head into the small building in the middle of
the field. Grab any health packs that you need from here.
Move to the next doorway in the building and look to the Northwest, you should
see one or two Germans approaching from there. Now take out the last MG42
gunner and move into the building where he was. Take out any Germans left in
the building. In the west side of the building you will find a hole in the
wall. Stand by it and look out. You will see two MG42 gunners and a
Flakpanzer manned by about 6 men. Use your Thompson to take out the Germans
on the Flakpanzer first and then turn your attention to the MG42 gunners.
Follow your squad to the Flakpanzer and plant the explosives on it. Move back
and wait for the charges to blow.
Once they do move past the Flakpanzer and you will see another one. This one
is a bit harder to take out because there are a bunch of Germans defending it.
I prefer to throw grenades in over the top of the wall and use my M1A1 Carbine
to pick some of them off. When you feel that most of them are down, pick up
your Thompson and approach through the left or right side of the wall. It
would not behoove you to go in through s spot in between there. Gun down any
Germans in the area around the Flakpanzer and then plant the explosives on it.
Stand back and let them blow.
Move ahead and when you enter the next building take out your grenades. Throw
them through the windows at the Germans out there. Three usually does the
job for me. Now head out the next doorway and look to the last Flakpanzer.
Either use grenades or the Thompson to take out the Germans on the Flakpanzer.
Before you plant the explosives, move around the stonewall to the southeast
and take out the MG42 gunner. Now you are free to plant the explosives. Plant
them and move away.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Debrief with Captain Foley at the crossroads.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Move to the intersection of the roads and wait for Captain Foley to give a
little debriefing speech.
******************************************************************************
Burnville tips from Cy <cybertooth85@yahoo.com>
1) When facing the gunner on the APC truck, it IS possible to shoot him. If
you go to the farthest right window (which the squad will evantually depart
through), you can see the gunner at profile (he does notice you quickly, so it
is important not to leave yourself revealed for long). Taking advantage of
this, if you shoot him quickly, he will not have time to turn his shielded
gun around and suppress you. Though this does take good timing, you do not
need a steady gun (I've done this several times in a row with my Thompson on
full-auto), and if you do miss and he turns, just duck or back away from the
window, and he'll turn back.
2) When encountering the Germans in the houses, I first pick off the one in
the rightmost house in the top window (he's most visible) and then the one
manning an MG42 in the "garage". This will help your squad. I then use
grenades (like you recommend) before strafing around the left flank and
sweeping the house of the remaining soldiers.
3) It's best to note several places where Germangrenades can be obtained. The
first is in the upstairs room of the first building you advance on at the
beginning of the level. The second is beside the desk in the room you take
from the Germans after the truck. The last is inside the church, behind the
MG42.
4) Facing the second Flakpanzer, I originally liked to take the left wall, but
found more cover on the right where you can duck behind columns or below the
small ledge. Here, you can also stop several reinforcements coming to the aid
on the right. After that, you can pick off shooters near your field of vision
or throw grenades into the far right group (two or three is good). Then you
can make your way from the right side picking off whoever is left standing.
5) You can actually grenade the last Flakpanzer before you even get there!
With proper aiming (try a very steep angle) you can toss the grenades just
over the wall that shields the Flakpanzer (and has all that AA gunfire roaring
over it), killing a few soldiers (and noticeably stopping the firing).

D-Day 0500 hours
Ste Mere Eglise
The boys on the beaches must have landed by now. They are only a few miles
away but right now it seems like a million. We don't have a radio and are
completely cut off.
Captain Foley was right. We did face a platoon or more of German paratroopers
when we took the village last night.
Today we hold it against German counterattack. Our defenses are all stolen:
enemy MG42s, Panzerfausts for anti tank defense and the village itself.
The air force and navy put on quite a show this morning pounding the hell out
of those beaches. One thing is certain, the Germans know we are here.
Whether that means they turn tails and run or come swarming out of the
woodwork, we are about to find out.
- Pvt. Martin
Baker Company, 506
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Assemble With Captain Foley.
- Get a Panzerfaust Anti-Tank weapon from the church.
- Destroy the tank.
- Defend the church.
- Reinforce the Northern approach.
- Destroy the second tank.
- Destroy the third tank.
- Get a Panzerfaust Anti-Tank weapon from the church.
- Locate and eliminate the enemy mortar positions. [3]
- Regroup with Captain Foley and get in the car.
-----------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Assemble with Captain Foley
-----------------------------------------
This is rather simple, all you have to do is run forward into the building
where all of squad mates are running to. Once you are inside the objective
has been completed. Once Johnson has been gunned down you will have to fight
off a small wave of enemy soldiers. I suggest that you take care of the ones
that leap over the wall to the left of the doorway where Johnson fell with
the Thompson. Once they are dead throw a grenade to the left of the doorway
and you should take out several enemy soldiers. Now it should be a rather
simple matter to eliminate any surviving soldiers with the Thompson or the
M1A1 Carbine.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Get a Panzerfaust Anti-Tank weapon from the church
----------------------------------------------------------------
Once all the enemy soldiers are dead a Tiger Tank will come into the area. You
must grab a Panzerfaust from the church to take it out. The church is located
to the south of your position, look on your compass for reference. Grab the
Panzerfaust by pressing the "F" key and head for the tank to the north.
------------------------------
Objective 3 : Destroy the tank
------------------------------
When you move in to take it out, all you have to do is align yourself
beforehand while you are hiding behind the wall and pop out quickly to fire a
shot at it. One hit should do it. If you miss then rinse and repeat steps
2 and 3.
-------------------------------
Objective 4 : Defend the church
-------------------------------
Once you have destroyed the Tiger you will have to defend the church, where
you got the Panzerfaust from, against a large wave of enemy troops. I suggest
that you pick up the weapon that you dropped earlier when you were getting the
Panzerfaust, press "F" to pick it up. Stand to the side of one of the holes
in the wall and crouch down. Fire away at the oncoming troops and ducking
behind cover when you have to reload. If you want to, try out the MG42. It
is effective here but you will usually take a good amount of damage since you
are so exposed.
---------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Reinforce the northern approach
---------------------------------------------
Just follow Captain Foley and your squad mates to the enemy positions. You
will come to a narrow alleyway looking out on the area where some enemies
are shooting at you and your squad mates. This alley will provide some good
cover, so crouch down right here and whip out whichever rifle you have. Pick
off all the enemies that you see, use the iron sights for this, it will make
it a lot easier.
Now after you know things have calmed down a bit, go to the overhang area
where most of the recently gunned downed Germans are. Approach cautiously
since there may be an enemy with a FG42 waiting for you here. If there is
then... (do I have to say this?) ....kill him.
Around this time your squad mates will open fire upon another group of
enemies. Slowly creep out with either of your guns and shoot down any enemies
that you encounter. You will have to move up to shoot some of them. Once the
are all down you will be attacked by some mortars. None of them should hit
you but you now have to find them and take them out.
-------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Destroy the second tank
-------------------------------------
Head back to the church but you will be stopped by a tank rolling through the
wall up ahead. Right behind it will follow a wave of enemy soldiers that
come over the low wall to the left of where the tank came. Quickly take care
of the enemies and move to the alley where you were before. There will be
two enemies waiting at the other end of it, so let them take a few bullets in
the face before proceeding onwards.
You will have to fight your way back to the church. The tank will blow out
two of the walls that you go by but it won't kill you unless you stop moving.
When you enter the first little house you will immediately be attacked by
an enemy that is hiding behind the doorway. Make quick work of him and move
on, this is where the second wall will be blown out. When the wall is blown
the game will enter a shocked mode where your character is disoriented and
can't really do much except wait for it to pass.
Now fight off all the enemies around the tank and when there is a break in
the action, go to the church by moving around the BACK of the tank. Grab the
Panzerfaust and go to one of the windows in the church, you can take out the
tank from there.

As you hear the order to regroup run towards where the mortars land and grab
the health packs there. You will likely be a bit beat up from defending the
northern approach so make sure you are full health before going into this
part.
Go back up the street to the alcove where the enemies were all shooting from
and go right up the front, but still in cover, next to Cpt Foley. Go to the
prone position. As soon as you hear ‘Tank!!! Take Cover!!!’ throw a grenade
to where the tank is coming out. This will take care of a few soldiers and
give you a better chance. As the tank stops watch for an enemy running around
the tread with an MP40 shooting insanely. Take him out quick (he may already
have been killed by the grenade) and look for others. I think the positions
of the soldiers vary for each difficulty. I am talking about the Veteran
setting. The MG42 shooting from the church will take care of most of the
enemies but there will be some who escape. You may notice Cpt. Foley twitching
from all the gunfire he is taking from the tanks machine gun (he cannot die).
When the flow of soldiers pauses immediately throw a grenade over the building
in front of you and another one down the alley slightly to your left. This
should take out anyone up there but still be on guard. Press spacebar and
forward simultaneously to begin running immediately in order to avoid the
tanks machine gun and head for the alley. If there is anyone up there take
them out but don’t proceed just yet.
Let your teammates take care of the enemies who wish to follow you and head
through the doorway to your right, not the one ahead. Shoot the man in the
first room through the window of the shelled out building you are in and toss
a grenade into the second room. Be on guard to kill the soldier in case he
dashes out. Go through the rooms as quickly as possible. If you do enter the
slow motion phase, don’t pause, just stand up and keep running. I find the
slow motion phase fun since you can shoot the enemies who are also running in
slow motion. Head straight to the small wall by the most direct route (make
sure you are running) and go into the church. Grab the Panzerfaust immediately
and shoot the tank through the window. Watch for more enemies coming into the
church to hunt you down.
******************************************************************************
------------------------------------
Objective 7 : Destroy the third tank
------------------------------------
This objective will be completed by your squad mates but they will need some
help in doing so. You need to fight off all the enemies to the north of you
so that they can reach the tank safely. Once they have reached the tank they
will shoot the people inside it and toss a grenade into it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 8 : Locate and eliminate the enemy mortar positions [3]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow the road to an opening in the wall. Immediately when you reach it
some MG42s will open up on you from across the field. Grab the Kar98 and
crouch down. Snipe all the gunners (be ready for several shots for each one)
and when they have been put out of commission run across the field an take out
both enemy mortar positions by shooting the operators.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 9 : Regroup with Captain Foley and get in the car
-----------------------------------------------------------
Look to your compass to get the location of the car. Go to it and you will
hear the Sergeant calling to you. Go around the side and press the "F" key
to enter the car.
******************************************************************************
Dawnville tips from Cy <cybertooth85@yahoo.com>
1) After obtaining the Panzerfaust, players should switch back to their
Carbine to fend off two fresh waves of German soldiers (this may just be in
Veteran setting). One will leap over the wall to the left of the church exit,
the other will advance from the direction of the tank far down field. The only
thing you really have to worry about are the soldiers coming over the wall.
They can ambush your squad mates, but since they all land in single file, they
are easy to take out. Then just pick off the shooters beind the defenses
before hitting the tank.
2) The best way to avoid getting left behind during the tank attack and facing
what I believe is a permanent respawn of soldiers (this may just be in Veteran
setting) coming over the wall is to instinctively run from the mortar fire to
the overhang where you picked up health, towards the alley without stopping.
During this, switch from gun to grenade, and throw one into the alley. This
beats waiting for the soldiers to appear and risking damage.
3) Rather than risk damage going behind the tank (where you're open to the
respawning soldiers), it's best to clear the area near the tank, wait for the
onboard gunner to stop firing, and make a break for the church. There is less
vulnerability this way.

==========
Objectives
==========
- Report the towns capture to Regimental HQ.
- Find another vehicle.
- Defend Private Elder.
- Get in the Kubelwagon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Report the town's capture to regimental headquarters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
All I can say at this point is to fire in short bursts, aim for the gunners in
the cars and then the drivers, reload while inside the car, and use the F5
button frequently.
When the car is discarded and you get out you have a new objective. Find a
new vehicle.
-----------------------------------
Objective 2 : Find another vehicle.
-----------------------------------
Shoot the Germans inside the building with the large hole in the wall. Go
through the building and make sure to note the health packs inside. When you
reach the doorway, stop and lean out. Use either your Thompson or the rifle
you have to take out the Germans who are in the next area. One of them has an
FG42 so be extremely careful.
You will see another German running down from a car up ahead. Shoot him and
run into the building quickly, there is an MG42 gunner up above who will pop
out. Go up the stairs in the building and shoot the gunner.
------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Protect Private Elder.
------------------------------------
Now, either man the MG42 by the car or up above and shoot the Germans that are
firing at you from down the road.
------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Get in the Kubelwagon.
------------------------------------
When the Sergeant tells you to get in the car, do it. Elder isn't as good a
driver as Moody so I hope you can aim well. Get out one of your sub-machine
guns and use it to fire at the Germans that fly by. There really aren't too
many so don't worry about taking too much damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Report the town's capture to regimental headquarters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon you will pull up at the Regiment HQ and Moody will get out and report.

D-Day 0900 Hours
Near Ste. Marie-du-Mont,
Normandy, France
Battalion headquarters is a mess. All the companies are way under strength
due to mis-drops everywhere. Hopefully Foley knows what he is doing cause I
don't think we're going to be getting much help from here.
Meanwhile we already have a new mission. A German artillery battery a few
miles north of here has just opened fire on the beaches.
The CO wants it silenced and he picked us to do it. We're going in without
air or artillery support and way outnumbered, but that seems par for the
course at this point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Secure all enemy maps and documents. [2]
- Provide covering fire for Sergeant Moody.
- Get the explosives from Sergeant Moody.
- Destroy the enemy artillery guns. [4]
--------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Secure all enemy maps and documents.
--------------------------------------------------
Listen to the Sergeant's instructions and follow him until the enemy opens
fire. Take note of the enemy positions and lob two grenades at them. Now run
in and clean up whatever is left. Proceed through the trenches and when you
reach the first 90 degree bend in the trench. Lean out and take out the three
Germans that will appear there. After they are gone, proceed further on.
At this point you must stay LOW. There are two MG42 gunners firing at you and
all they need is a good view of your body for about 3 seconds to kill you. Run
to the point where you can just barely see the next Artillery Gun and the
Germans around it. Lob two grenades into the trench where they are and then
run in to clean up anybody that didn't die in the blasts. Wait for Sgt Moody
to plant the explosives.
After the artillery gun has been taken care of you must proceed further
through the trenches. Take out the German soldier standing in the trench
before the door and then go into the room. There will be about 5 Germans in
here. Three are hiding in the first room amongst the boxes and the last two
will be hiding out in the next room.
After you have taken out the enemies in these two rooms you can pick up the
first set of documents fro the table, beside the radio. Now go out the door
and follow your squad to the next area.
There is a small group of allied soldiers here, fighting off a large group of
Germans. While the Sergeant is talking to the Medic, watch out for
approaching Germans. Eventually the Medic will get shot and the Sergeant
will have to go out and bring back the wounded soldier in the field.
-------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Provide covering fire for Sergeant Moody.
-------------------------------------------------------
Provide covering fire for the Sergeant while he goes out and rescues the
soldier. Just crouch down around the area where the Medic was shot and shoot
down any enemies that approach.
------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Get the explosives from Sgt Moody.
------------------------------------------------
After they get back into the trench the Sergeant will give you the explosives
so that you can destroy the Artillery Guns.
---------------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Destroy the enemy artillery guns. [4]
---------------------------------------------------
Run through the trench and plant the explosives on the artillery gun. Move
away before the timer runs out but wait close by. You will see that a small
portion of the trench has blown out giving you access to the field. Run up
against the tree and lean out. Take out all the enemies you can and then lob
a grenade towards the trench where they are.
Go into the trench after they are all dead and plant your explosive on the
Artillery Gun. Move further into the trench. Shoot all the enemies that you
see until you reach the next Artillery Gun. When you can see it stop and
make sure that you are crouched. Shoot the enemy soldiers around the gun and
move around the wall of the trench so that you can see the MG42 gunner.
Quickly put a bullet through his head or else he will rip you full of holes.
Plant the explosives and hop over the wall of the trench. Move over the field
and take out the two enemies that you see on the way.
When you enter the barn you will see two Germans moving around inside, to the
left. Quickly shoot them and move out one of the doors. You will see a bunch
of Germans sticking out above a stone wall. Use either a couple grenades or
your Thompson to cut them down.
head into the building and take care of the German just inside the door. Find
the stairs that go up and pause right at the top, so that your head is just
peeking out. Wait for the two German soldiers to come into view and shoot
them. Now head into the room that they came out of and grab the documents
and any health that you need from the closet.
Man the MG42 and mow down all the approaching enemy soldiers. Wait until you
are absolutely sure there are none left and then go back downstairs. Pause
at the newly opened door and get out a rifle. There is an MG42 gunner to the
left of the door and up in a window. What you must do is pop out quickly and
shoot him before he gets the chance to do so to you. It may take a few tries
so press F5 here. Go out into the courtyard with a sub-machine gun once he is
bleeding from the head.
Use your sub-machine gun to take out all the enemies in the courtyard to the
left. Once they have all been taken out. Move around the building either
way you want. You will see the last Artillery Gun. Shoot the operators and
all the Germans around it. There are quite a few so be on your toes at all
times. Plant the explosives and you will be done.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 7, 1944
The Bavarian Alps,Germany
It seems that a couple of British Officers, a Captain Price and a Major
Ingram, were shot down somewhere over enemy territory.
I don't know who those guys are but they must be pretty important, or know
something pretty important cause Army intelligence has decided to parachute us
into Austria to rescue them.
Intelligence sources say the two officers are being held in a Chateau in the
Bavarian Alps.
We've stolen a German truck, hidden it near by, and are approaching the
Chateau on foot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Break through the main gate.
- Find a way into the Chateau.
- Secure any documents and plans.
- Find the secret communications room.
- Sabotage enemy communications equipment with your weapon.
- Find and secure the prisoners.
- Clear the way to the extraction point.
------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Break through the main gate.
------------------------------------------
Listen to Moody's little talk and then follow his instructions. Move up the
hill and right at the crest of it, stop and quickly shoot the MG42 gunner with
your BAR. Take cover behind the sandbags of the MG42 pit and fire at the
Germans that take cover behind the jeep and the barrels ahead. Once they have
been suppressed then you may proceed ahead. If you decide to go into the
building by the jeep then you should be ready to fire at a German that comes
around the corner ahead of you once you walk in the door.
Now make your way up the hill towards the main gate of the chateau. When you
get near it a truck full of Germans will screech to a halt and about 5 or 6
Germans will come out firing at you. Crouch behind the concrete part of the
fence and lean out from behind it to fire at them. When they have all been
killed move hrough the gate.
------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Find a way into the Chateau.
------------------------------------------
To get into the Chateau, you will have to make your way around the back of
it on the left side. Move along to the point at which an enemy truck pulls
up in a courtyard in the north part of the level, taking out all enemies on
the way. When the truck pulls up make sure to crouch and only advance further
into the courtyard after killing all the Germans in your present field of
view.
There is another truck on the far side of the courtyard so don't let your
guard down after eliminating the occupants of the first truck. When you have
killed all of them you can move further along and climb up the ladder you see
leaning against the wall of the Chateau.
---------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Secure any documents and plans.
---------------------------------------------
There is only one set of documents to secure in the Chateau and they are. On
the top floor. You will have to fight your way there accompanied by one of
your fellow soldiers. You will notice that there is only one path to take
through the Chateau at this point so I find that an explanation would just be
redundant. Just move slowly, peek around corners, and conserve your ammo.
Try using the BAR and switching it to slow-auto. Usually the enemies will go
down in 1 or two shots if they are hit in the torso.
You will find the documents stashed in the very end of the route inside the
Chateau. Once you have secured the documents by pressing the "F" button the
objective will be completed.
--------------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Find the secret communications room.
--------------------------------------------------
Now follow your steps back to the ground floor. When you reach the hallway
with the big double doors make sure your finger is at the ready. The doors
will fly open and two Germans will be standing there shooting at you. Waste
them with the BAR. Now turn on the Iron Sights and move forward slowly. You
will see in the upper right hand corner of the door that there are two Germans
on a balcony. Move forward so that you can just get in a shot at their torso
and fire a shot at both of them. They should both fall over the railing, dead
but if not then I think you know what to do.
Once again there is only one main path through the Chateau so it isn't a real
problem trying to find the comm room. When you enter the next room scoot
yourself behind one of the pillars and crouch down. Whip out the Thompson
and fire at the Germans that come running into the room by the staircase. Now
head up the stairs and move down the hallway, shooting any Germans that come
running in towards you.
When you reach the end of the hallway. Stop at the door and lean out with the
BAR in your hands. Shoot the 3 enemies on the balcony and then keep your head
out to shoot at the German who shoots at you from behind the next doorframe.
Try and get a headshot on him and if not then chuck a grenade into his
vicinity. Move along and shoot the two Germans just outside the door that
leads into the next hallway.
Keep pressing on until you find yourself in a room with a fireplace and a
medium sized table. You will see a bust of an eagle on a wooden stand. Go
up to it and push the "F" button to rotate it and open the secret doorway to
the comm room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Sabotage enemy communications equipment with your weapon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shoot the enemy radios with your gun. Simple enough, eh? Watch out for the
door kicked open behind you, there are two enemies behind it.
--------------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Find and secure the prisoners.
--------------------------------------------
Now Captain Foley and the gang will come into the room and kick down the door
to the next room. All you really have to do is follow him now.
----------------------------------------------------
Objective 7 : Clear the way to the extraction point.
----------------------------------------------------
Once Captain Price has been rescued from his cell you must clear a way to the
extraction point that is marked by the star. I cannot really help you here
and is not exactly necessary to do so. Just take your time and make sure
you don't shoot Captain Price.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 18, 1944
Outside of Strasshof
Austria
It seems the Germans moved Major Ingram of the British RAF before we could nab
him from the Chateau.
Captain Price says he overheard the guards saying he had been moved to a camp
somewhere near here. Price pin-pointed the camp for us, but Captain Foley
insisted he stay behind during the actual rescue.
Our plan is simple. We are busting right through the gate, grabbing the Major
and then hightailing it out of there. Foley says the only way we can pull this
off is if we spend no more than 10 minutes inside the camp. Otherwise the
Jerries are going to have the area locked down looking for us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Eliminate the guards at the main gate.
- Locate Major Ingram.
- Escort Major Ingram back to the truck.
----------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Eliminate the guards at the main gate.
----------------------------------------------------
After Captain Foley gives you the scoop on the mission and gets in the truck
run ahead until you can see the enemy camp. Lie down on the hill to the left
of this area, next to the tree. Look through the scope of your Springfield
and observe the guards at the main gate. If you wait long enough one of the
guards will leave and come back and then he will be standing right in front
of another one, lining you up for a perfect double kill. Once those two are
down shoot the guard that mans the MG42 and then the next guard that comes in.
----------------------------------
Objective 2 : Locate Major Ingram.
----------------------------------
Follow Captain Foley through the gate. Now you must fight your way through
the POW camp to the cell where Major Ingram is being held. There are several
routes that you can take through the POW camp to get to the Major so it would
be kind of awkward to place a walkthrough in this section of the guide. Just
refer to the "Tactics" section (5.3) and you should be fine.
You should be reaching the Major around the 6:00 mark.
----------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Escort Major Ingram back to the truck.
----------------------------------------------------
Reverse your path and head for the truck. Make sure you don't dawdle and let
the timer run out.

INTENTION
1. Objective
a) Your task is to seize intact the bridge ove the canal at BENOUVILLE
098748 and to hold it until relieved by 7 PAra Bn. Most likely several
hours.
INFORMATION
2. Enemy
a) Static defenses in area of operations.
Garrison of the bridge at BENOUVILLE 098748 consists of about 50 men,
armed with at least four to six light machine guns (MG42) and possibly
assorted anti-tank weapons.
b) State of alertness
The large-scale preparations necessary for the invasion of the
Contingent, the suitablity of moon and tide will combine to produce a
high state of alertness in the GERMAN defense, particularly in vicinity
of bridges. Charges will have been laid in the demolition chambers.
METHOD
3. Outline
a) Insertion via Horsa glider. the capture of the bridge will be a 'cuop
de main' op depending largely on surprise, speed, and dash for success.
b) Your difficulties will arise in holding off an enemy counterattack on
the bridge, until you are relieved.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Clear the area of enemies and secure both ends of the bridge.
- Capture the bunker.
- Regroup with Captain Price.
- Find an army engineer.
- Use the Flak 88 gun to destroy the tank.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Clear the area of enemies and secure both ends of the bridge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will start out this level in a plane. Eventually you will be briefed by
Captain Price (after a rough landing) and then you can get going. This
objective will not be completed until the end of the level. So on to
objective 2.
---------------------------------
Objective 2 : Capture the bunker.
---------------------------------
Get into a crouching position and move into the bushes. You will see a bunker
ahead, crawl to a spot that is close to the bush but gives you a open view of
the bunker. Get out your Bren LMG and equip the Iron Sights. Now blast away
at the opening of the bunker. Your squad mates will now go ahead and clear
out the bunker. All you have to do is keep raking the opening of the bunker
with bullets from your Bren.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Clear the area of enemies and secure both ends of the bridge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move across the bridge and use either your Lee-Enfield rifle or the Bren LMG
to eliminate any opposing forces that you can find. In a few minutes you will
hear the dreaded sound of a Tiger tank.
-----------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Regroup with Captain Price.
-----------------------------------------
Now you must find Captain Price to get instructions on how to eliminate the
tank. If you are standing on the road where the tank is, facing it, then
Captain Price is on your left. Please note that it is not in your best
interests to be right in front of the tank, I was just using it as a reference
point.
------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Find an army engineer.
------------------------------------
Captian Price will tell you to find and army Engineer. The engineer has to get
the Flak gun operating so that you can use it to blow up the tank. You will
be pleased to find that the engineer is conveniently placed on the other side
of the road. That means that you will have to dash across quickly before the
Tiger pumps you full of lead.
Lighten your load by switching to either the Colt .45 or the M2 Frag Grenades,
you will run faster this way. Now run directly across the road. You will
see engineer fending off a large group of German attackers. Crouch down and
press the use key "F" to get him moving.
Don't turn around to follow him just yet. If you do you will be picking
bullets out of your back until the end of the mission. Switch to the Bren LMG
and return to a standing position. Quickly sweep your gun across the fence and
try to take out as many of the Germans as you can. After your clip is used up
switch back to the Colt .45 or the M2 Frag Grenades and run across the bridge.
Stay crouched so that the Tiger cannot hit you.
------------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Use the Flak 88 gun to destroy the tank.
------------------------------------------------------
Now wait in a sheltered spot by the Flak 88 while the engineer fixes it. When
he gives you the go-ahead quickly get on and turn around to face the tank. It
will take about 4 seconds to turn completely around to face the tank so be
patient, you will not take much damage from the Tiger. When you get the
cross-hairs centered on the tank click and watch the carnage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Clear the area of enemies and secure both ends of the bridge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now just use your Lee-Enfield to pick off any remaining enemies, there should
be around 15 or so. Every time you get one the little counter in the
objecives menu will decrease. When all have been eliminated the mission will
end.

Captain Price noticed a strange thing this morning -- they had the
bridge wired, but no explosives were in the holders??? (found them
securely stowed by the pillbox)
METHOD
3. Outline
a) [crossed out] Insertion via Horsa glider. the capture of the bridge
will be a 'cuop de main' op depending largely on surprise, speed, and
dash for success.
b) Your difficulties will arise in holding off an enemy counterattack on
the bridge, until you are relieved.
(light reinforcements came in from Kanville at 0800)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Hold the bridge until Allied relief shows up.
- Defend the west bank of the canal.
- Fall back to the machine gun and provide covering fire.
- Destroy the incoming tank.
- Help the reinforcements clear the area of any remaining enemies.
- Debrief with Captain Price.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Hold the bridge until Allied relief shows up.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now it is daytime and you are still at the bridge. The Sgt will address the
Captain and he will basically say that they have found some Panzerfausts,
various German weapons, and some medical supplies. Right after the Captain
finishes talking mortars woill begin to fall. What I suggest you do is run to
the little structure on the right side of the bridge. It is painted red and
white. This objective will be completed near the end of the mission.
------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Defend the west bank of the canal.
------------------------------------------------
After the mortars have fallen your squad mates will dash across the bridge to
where a large contingent of Germans is coming through. You will see, as you
near the end of the bridge, that there is a large stash of weapons at the end
of bridge. Take your pick of the weapons but do it quickly since you will
have little time to waste. Just so you know, I prefer to take the MP44 and the
Kar98k.
Now head over to the southeast and there will be a little yard surrounded by a
low brick wall. Stay on the outside of the wall, I like to be within about 15
feet of the demolished tank. Watch both openings in this little yard for
Germans, quite a few will come through. As they come through shoot them down
with your machine or sub-machine gun. There will be a few long intervals of
time in which no Germans come through but just stay patient because they will
come.
If you do happen to become bored then you may wish to head over to the north
where your squd is fighting off another large force. I prefer to stay away
from here on the harder difficulties because this approach will reward yo
with a lot more damage than the former if you are not careful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Fall back to the machine gun and provide covering fire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Captain Price will eventually yell at you to fall back to the MG42 set up on
the bridge to provide covering fire for your squad. When you are on it you
won't have to worry about any snipers taking your head off so feel free to
stay as long as you like.
You may find that you are being quite inneffective with the MG42. This is
probably due to the large amoutnof muzzle flash and recoil. All you have to
do to be effective is fire in short two to three second bursts. Pick a
target, center the cross-hairs, and fire away. Rinse and repeat until you get
a new objective.
----------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Destroy the incoming tank.
----------------------------------------
That should say "tank(s)". This objective will span quite a few minutes and
many tanks. I usually ignore the Captain's advice to get on the Flak 88
because... well... I am wide open to attack from there. I always get a
Panzerfaust and eliminate the tanks using them. You can find two inside the
bunker and a whole box of them inside the trench.
Before I get started on the individual tanks I will just give you some brief
tips. Use the quicksave feature very often in this last part of the mission.
Quicksave before and after you destroy each tank. After you destroy a tank
there may be a moment that passes until the next tank comes along. During
this time I suggest you run back to the bunker and restock on anything that
you need. There are two green health packs and one large health pack in it.
You may feel obligated to take out a few approaching footsoldiers so you may
do so.
The first tank will approach from the south. Get inside the bunker and grab
one of the Panzerfausts from the stairwell. Look out the gap in the wall of
the bunker and spot the tank crawling along the bank of the river. Put on
the iron sights and fire at the tank. If you miss it then press F9 twice and
reload, or if you didn't save the game before you shot it you should go back
and get another Panzerfaust.
Now for the second tank. It is coming in from the north. Grab a Panzerfaust
from the trench and head along the road in betwen the river and the buildings
next to the trench, not going around the bunker. You will see it approaching
along the road. Lie down in the middle of the road and equip the iron sights.
When you feel the moment is appropriate then fire off a shot and hopefully you
will hit the tank.
Now the next tank will come from the south, again. Just follow the
instructions for the first tank. It will approach from where the first one
came.
The fourth tank will come from the northeast. Grab a Panzerfaust and wait in
the trench (make sure you don't get shot by any Germans while waiting). You
will see it pass by the gap at the other end of the trench, when it does fire
a round into its side as it passes.
This next one is a pain in the ass to hit but by no means shoudl you get on
the Flak 88. You will die before you can say "Oh shit!". So grab a
Panzerfaust and go back into the bunker. Stand all the way in the corner of
the bunker where the health packs are sitting. Crouch down on top of those
little storage boxes and put on the Iron Sights. I command you to quicksave
at this point. So now all you have to do is fire, watch where the shot lands,
and then reload the game and tweak your aim accordingly. Save after you
destroy it because I'm sure you don't want to do that over again.
Now the last tank will follow the same route as the fourth so grab a
Panzerfaust and wait in the trench for it to pass. But you may have shot the
fourth tank in a spot where it is very hard to see the tank pass. If that is
the case then you should head on up to the bunker and look to where the tank
is rolling by. Shoot it and that will be the last of the tanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Hold the bridge until Allied relief shows up.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now this is where the first objective will be completed. There should be
under a minute left until the relief shows up, at this point. Pick one of
your weapons and stay in the bunker shooting at approaching Germans until the
timer runs out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Help the reinforcements clear the area of any remaining enemies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not rush jubilantly out of the bunker now that the reinforcements have
shown up. There are still quite a few Germans running around outside. Get
out one of your machine or sub-machine guns and wait in the stairwell. In a
few seonds you will see two Germans come through the doorway. Shoot them and
then proceed out of the trench and take care of any remaining enemies you can
see.
-----------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Debrief with Captain Price.
-----------------------------------------
That wasn't so bad was it? Meet Captain Price outside the bunker and recieve
your well earned congratulations for your performance.

1/25,000 Sheet No. 60/05 SW 2 Sep 1944
To: 3 Troop, 2 SAS
Transferred from 2 SAS with Cpt Price on orders from SOE 3 weeks ago. Haven't
seen any others from 6th AB aside from him. The men here are as competent as
any I've ever met, espcially Sgt. Waters. Will have to do my best to keep up.
INTENTION
1. Objectives
a) To neutralize anti-aircraft defenses for pending renewal of RAF bombing
missions against teh Eder Dam in Germany.
b) To destroy electrical generators in the power station at the foot of
the dam, thereby slowing production at German manufacturing plants
throughout the Ruhr valley region.
INFORMATION
2. Enemy
a) Static defenses in area of operations.
Garrison at the Eder Dam consists of at least 40 men, armed with
assorted small arms (MP40, Kar98k) and at least three anti-air guns,
possibly 20mm or 88mm.
b) State of alertness.
Last May's "Operation Chastise" ruptured the dam but the Germans have
since restored it and strengthened the AA defenses. Once the garrison
forces are alerted, nearby towns at 025664, 022637, and 0265619 will
undoubtedly dispatch reinforcements in platoon to company strength.
METHOD
3. Outline
a) Infiltration to be effected by parachute, DZ approx. one day overland from
the dam, as radar and AA coverage have increased in the immediate vicinity.
b) Exfiltrate by any means at your disposal. Cpt. Price and Sgt. Waters plan
to steal a German lorry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Destroy the AA guns on the top of the dam. [6]
- Plant explosives on the generators.
- Destroy the AA guns at the bottom of the dam.
- Meet up with Captain Price at the top South end of the dam and escape.
------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Destroy the AA guns on the top of the dam. [6]
------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of the few missions in the game in which you will be completely
alone. Crouch down and move towards the tree ahead. I would lie flat on the
ground once you reach the tree. Use your sniper rifle to take out about 5 or
6 enemies that are either in the area ahead or that will come once you fire
the first shot.
Now your path is open to the AA guns atop the dam. Move along the dam
planting the explosives as you go. After the fourth one however you will be
fired upon by an MG42 gunner and another footsoldier. They are easy enough to
take care of. Either throw a well placed grenade or slowly creep forward with
your sniper rifle to take them out. After they have been torn a third nostril
continue with your demolition until all of the AAs have been destroyed.
-------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Plant explosives on the generators.
-------------------------------------------------
Now head into the dam itself. You will see a door in the little enclosure to
the left. Enter it and get on the elevator, press "F" by the switch to go
down. Take out your Sten and prepare for some close-quarters combat. As soon
as you descend in the elevator you will have to take out about three Germans
in the base area of the elevator.
Now moce through the hallway and go into the room ahead. There will be three
Germans that come running through the room towards you so gun them down and
grab the health packs on the table.
Move out of the room and down the hallway. Shoot the Germans who are next to
the table in the next room and the one who appears beyond it. When you reach
the stairwell there will be another triplet of Germans below you. Shoot them
with your rifle.
Move down the next stairwell and when you reach the turn that opens up into
the generator room a few germans will pop out of both corners; have your
machine gun at the ready. Now look up to the balconies ahead. Take out the
riflers with your Scoped Kar98k and then move to the next stairway in front
of you.
Shoot the two Germans at the bottom and then move down the corridor to the
left. Three Germans will come out from behind the corner. Shoot them and
then kill the next three Germans to get to the elevator.
When you go down ready your machine-gun. There will be a large group of
Germans waiting for you at the bottomof the next stairwell. After you have
taken care of all three aggressors move along to the right and take out your
Kar98k. Snipe the German at the end of the hallway and then machine gun the
two at the top of the stairwell on the other end. Kill the Germans in the
next few rooms easily enough and you will be at the generator room.
There are about four Germans in here, one by the door on the other side, two
coming up on the right side and one that will come in through the door soon
after you fire the first shots. Plant the explosives on the generators and
then move out the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Destroy the AA guns at the bottom of the dam. [4]
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is really easy. There are about four Germans waiting at the bottom. You
can take all of them out easily with the Scoped Kar98k. Plant the explosives
on all of the AA Flaks and then head back for the surface.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Meet with Cpt Price at the top South end of the dam and escape.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Refer to "Tactics" (5.3).
All you have to do now is retrace your steps through the dam. Just follow the
only route available to you. When you get tot he top of the dam you will see
Cpt Price and Sgt Waters in the truck. Go to the back of it and press "F" to
get into it.
When the truck pulls away there will be a few scattered troops firing on you
so you can either duck behind the sides of the truck or you can fire on them.
Either way will do.

you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment."

INTENTION
1. Objectives
a) Following conclusion of operations at the dam, evade capture and reach an
airfield approx. 8 miles away at 033875.
INFORMATION
a) Static defenses in area of opertions.
Unknown. The Enemy is likely to erect roadblocks and deploy motorized
patrols in order to prevent your escape from the area.
b) State of alertness.
Any assault on the Eder Dam will be responded to by troops from neighboring
towns and garrisons. Both military and civlilian populations will be
placed in a high state of alertness,
The lorry we stole was apparently carrying a large shipment of Panzerfaust
60s -- a sort of short range, single use, and disposable anti-tank weapon.
They'll come in handy if persued. Not a bad find at all.
METHOD
3. Outline
a) Use enemy weapons and assets as required in the event your equipment is
destroyed or expended.
b) Destroy bridges and create improvised obstacles to delay pursuit by the
enemy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Get to the airfield.
- Cover Sgt. Waters while he blows the bridge.
----------------------------------
Objective 1 : Get to the airfield.
----------------------------------
Now thanks to your grace in the last mission you have about 50 Germans out on
the road trying to hunt you down. What you must do is defend the truck that
you are riding in as they come up behind you or from other directions and try
to pump your ass full of lead.
This is simple in and of itself but it is also pretty tough. I suggest that
you whip out a Panzerfaust first. Soon you will see a truck come barreling
up the road towards you. I would press F5 at this point. Wait for the truck
to round the curve and then fire a shot at it. if you miss press F9 twice and
you will be pulled back to the point at which you pressed F5. Rinse and
repeat for the rest of the level.
At a few points in the level it may be better to take out the Germans who are
standing in the truck before blowing it to pieces. Best example being when
it pulls up right beside you. Just use the Bren LMG to spray rounds at their
heads and then duck back down below to reload your weapon.
----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Cover Sgt. Waters while he blows the bridge.
----------------------------------------------------------
When you cross the long wooden bridge you will hear Captain Price say that it
is booby trapped to blow as soon as you cross it. But whoopsie! Somebody
wired it incorrectly. Now Sgt. Waters must go under the bridge and detonate
it manually.
He will give you a Springfield before he leaves and you must use it to take
out all the Germans who try to cross the bridge. Don't worry about them
shooting at you, they are too far away to do any damage. Just keep pumping
out shots until you see Sgt. Waters high-tailing his ass out from under the
bridge. When that happens the bridge will blow and you can stop shooting.
----------------------------------
Objective 1 : Get to the airfield.
----------------------------------
Continue shooting the trucks until the last of the Panzerfausts have been used
up. Then just use your Bren LMG to shoot at any exposed Germans. Eventually
you will arrive at the airfield and the level will end.

INTENTION
1. Objectives
a) Upon successful arrival at the airfield, procure aircraft on site and
exfiltrate via preplanned air route.
b) Delay pursuit and interception by destroying any parked aircraft not
essentail to your escape. Our Lewes bombs were lost in the drop at the
dam, so we'll need to find a high caliber automatic weapon on site to do
the job.
INFORMATION
2. Enemy
a) Static defenses in area of operations.
A small regional garrison, mainly consisting of rear-guard troops, is known
to service the airfiled on a year round basis. AA defenses may include
guns ranging from 20mm to 88mm.
b) State of alertness.
The dam garrison will have issued a general warning throughout the area by
this time. The airfield may be more heavily reinforced than is customary
as a result.
METHOD
3. Outilne
a) Disperse at the airfield. Flight-trained members of the squad will move
the aircraft into position for takeoff.
b) Remaining squad members shall defend the stolen aircraft until that time,
while inflicting as much damage as possible on the other enemy aircraft
parked on the tarmac.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Draw enemy fire while the rest of the team steals a German plane.
- Get back in the truck and escape to the plane.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Draw enemy fire while the rest of the team steals a German plane
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now what you are going to do is drive around the airfield in your truck trying
to draw fire drom the Germans defending the airfield. This is really no
different than the truck ride in the previous mission except that you will
eventually be able to get out of the truck.
As you drive around fire your Bren LMG at the Germans sticking up out of the
trucks persuing you and at the stationary or individual soldiers on the
ground.
When you do get the chance to climb out of the truck (when Captain Price backs
it up by the AA Flak) keep your Bren LMG out and shoot the gunners atop the
building.
Now that's the easy part of the level. Now you must get on the Flak gun and
shoot at all the Stuka planes taking off and coming in to bomb the crap out of
you. First, look over to the runway at the right you will see two Stukas
in the process of taking off. Shoot tham as quickly as you can and then focus
your attention on the sky. You will now see, somewhere on the screen, Stukas
coming in towards you. This is simple yet it can be rather difficult to pull
off. All you have to do is shoot the Stukas before they get to you. When you
hit one it will burst into flames and veer away from you.
All the while the enemy is going to be shooting at you from all directions but
don't worry about them too much because you are well covered, for the most
part.
------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Get back in the truck and escape to the plane.
------------------------------------------------------------
After the Stukas are burning wrecks on the ground the Captain will tell you to
get back into the truck. Just like you got into the car in the American
missions just walk (well... in this case you may want to speed it up) to the
the truck and press "F". Immediately the Captain will pull out and take you
to the waiting plane. All the while you should be shooting as many Germans as
you can. When you reach the airplane the mission will end.

Price and I are going on board. If we are captured the Geneva Convention
won't help us. There's little doubt we will be executed as spies.
INTENTION
1. Objectives
a) To further cripple battleship Tirpitz in preparation for pending RAF
bombing missions.
- demolitions on the ships boilers and radar systems
b) To recover patrol logs and documented orders indicating recent fleet
movements of Kriegsmarine vessels.
- These are most liely on or near the bridge
INFORMATION
2. Enemy
a) Static defenses in area of operations.
Norwegian resistance reports ship undergoing repairs and damage appraisal
near Tromso. Skeleton crew reported, with majority of crewmembers on
shore leave throughout Hakoya and Tromso region.
b) State of alertness.
The enemy is preoccupied with anti-air defense. As they are aboard a
heavily armed and escorted ship, their expectation of being boarded is
likely to be low.
METHOD
3. Outline
a) The Norwegian resistance reports that a small watercraft is scheduled to
transfer new officers to the Tirpitz from the Tromso region, at 1900 hrs.
Intercept it, liquidate the occupants, and take their place with the aid of
forged documents and appropriate attire of rank supplied by SOE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========
Objectives
==========
- Board the German battleship Tirpitz.
- Locate the ship's armoury.
- Retrieve the explosives from the armoury.
- Plant the explosives on the ship's boilers. [4]
- Destroy the Anti-Aircraft radar electronics near the bridge. [3]
- Retrieve the naval patrol logs.
- Return to Sgt Waters at the supply boat.
--------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Board the German battleship Tirpitz.
--------------------------------------------------
This mission will start off with Cpt Price dumping the German officers
overboard. Then let Sgt Waters steer close enough for you to get out. Cpt
Price will got out first so follow him aboard the ship.
----------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Locate the ship's armoury.
----------------------------------------
Move towards the star on your compass. Captain Price will follow you. When
you get to the set of stairs on the way to the star on your compass go up
them and you will see a hangar door opening. Go in (ignoring the two Germans
who walk out).
Head down the stairs inside the hangar and take the only route available
inside the ship. You will come to the armoury. The Captain will address the
two guards and one of them will confer with somebody up on the bridge. The
companion will be alerted by something said and he will raise his gun to fire.
Before he can pull the trigger Price will shoot them both in the forehead.
PWNED!
-------------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Retrieve the explosives from the armoury.
-------------------------------------------------------
Go inside the armoury and you will see the explosives in a glowing yellow
pile. Go up to them and press "F". Objective completed.
------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Plant the explosives on the ship's boilers. [4]
------------------------------------------------------------
Proceed through the hallway you just came to plant one explosive charge on the
boiler in there. Watch out for the Germands that will come from in front and
possibly behind you.
Now retreat back to where the Captain is. Move along the corridor across from
the entrance to the armoury to find the three remaining boilers. There will
be Germans standing in your way all the way from this point on so be on the
lookout at all times. Move along cautiously so you don't get a faceful of hot
lead. Plant the three charges and make your way back up to the hangar.
One thing. The Captain will die no matter what you do here. You can't stop
it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Destroy the Anti-Aircraft radar electronics near the bridge. [3]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the hangar move behind the boxes and proceed to single out German defenders
(or attackers in this sense) with your Kar98k or your MP40. Once the coast
appears to be clear dash forward and look for a door on the side of the big
structure on the deck. That will take you back to the innards of the ship.
Now move up the stairwells very_cautiously. There are Germans waiting to
spring out at many of the corners you will round. I suggest you fully utilize
the 'peek' function in this part.
Eventually you will see a glowing yellow box in one of the rooms. Shoot it
and you will have taken out the first Anti-Aircraft radar electronics. Now
move along to take out the rest. There is one more on this level and another
one level up.
---------------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Retrieve the naval patrol logs.
---------------------------------------------
When you go to destroy the third Anti-Aircraft radar electronics you will be
met by the Captain of the Tirpitz. Needless to say he is rather pissed at
you so he will try to put a few bullets in your head with his Lugar pistol.
Shoot that SOB in the heart and then go up to the patrol logs in the middle of
the room and pick them up with the "F" button.
------------------------------------------------------
Objective 7 : Return to Sgt Waters at the supply boat.
------------------------------------------------------
Now you have to fight your way off the ship to the waiting Sgt. Waters. Get
out of the inside of the ship and fight your way towards Sgt Waters,
represented as the star on your compass. All that you need to know is covered
in the Tactics section (5.3). When you reach Waters get on the boat and he
will take off once he has realized that the Captain didn't make it.

ORDER *227 BY THE PEOPLE'S COMMISSAR OF DEFENSE OF THE USSR
It is time to stop the retreat. Not a single step back! This shall be our
slogan from now on. We must protect every strongpoint and every metre of
Soviet soil stubbornly to the last droplet of blood. We shall grab every
piece of our soil and defend it as long as possible. The Germans are not as
strong as the panic-mongers say. They are tretching their strength to the
limit. To withstand their blow now means to ensure victory in the future.
All who retreat without orders from above are traitors of the motherland and
will be treated as such: panic-mongers, traitors, and cowards are to be shot
on sight. To fulfill this order means to defend our country, to save the
Motherland, and to destroy and overcome the hated enemy. This is the call of
our Motherland.

Objectives
==========
- Acquire a weapon or some ammunition.
- Find a more experienced soldier and obtain new orders.
- Enter the city of Stalingrad.
--------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Acquire a weapon or some ammunition.
--------------------------------------------------
Take your finger off the trigger for a few minutes, actually the whole
mission. Yes, for this entire mission you will be defenseless. You will be
given a clip of ammunition and nothing else (sucks for you). Don't worry, by
following my instructions and using your head you should be able to get
through this mission alive (just barely).
Listen to the Russian officer's little speech while your transport is crossing
the Volga River. When you are about halfway through the river some planes
will come in from the right guns blazing. You cannot move or lie down. Your
only option is to crouch. Press "C" and you should be all right.
When you get to the docks your character will get out of the ship and move to
the line. You can cut in line if you like but when you get to the front you
will be given a clip of ammunition, that's all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Find a more experienced soldier and obtain new orders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the easy part of the mission. You must make your way to the officer
represented by the star on your compass. He is crouched behind a car on the
hill. If you enter the shell-shock mode keep going since it seems that you
become harder to hit while in this mode. Look for the scarce amount of health
packs on the ground and keep moving towards the star on your compass. When
you reach the officer he will give you new orders.
All you need to do is wait until he tells you to run, and when he does don't
hesitate. Run as fast as you can to the next vehicle and he will take out one
of the machine gunners above. Continue to follow his orders, as you have no
other choice.
Once you reach the last car the sniper will tell you to hide in the small
bombed out building at the bottom of the hill. But wait, there is a commissar
waiting there to shoot the "cowards" and "traitors"! No worries, the sniper
will shoot that Commie right in the side of the skull once you get down close
to him.
Your work is done now. Watch the festering radio operator trying to call in
atrillery and when it comes the screen will shake endlessly for about 30
seconds.
-------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Enter the city of Stalingrad.
-------------------------------------------
Follow your comrades up the hill and enter the city of Stalingrad.

==========
Objectives
==========
- Retake Red Square.
- Find a good flanking position.
- Eliminate the officers in the enemy blockade. [4]
- Rendezvous with Major Zubov via the train station.
--------------------------------
Objective 1 : Retake Red Square.
--------------------------------
This is probably the best level in the game (it was for me). Right now you
are standing in a very big city square.... Red Square. The Germans are at one
end of it and all of your Russain comrades are standing on the opposite end.
Soon enough the commanding officer will give the go ahead and everybody will
surge forward, you along with them. Move along the ground, staying in a
crouched position and look for a weapon on the ground. You will find an
unscoped Mosin Nagant on the ground. Take it and collect some ammo that is
scattered around.
Head for the statue of Stalin that is on the right side of the fountain. You
will see another soldier standing at the base waving you over to him. He will
tell you to find a good flanking position so this objective will have to wait.
--------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Find a good flanking position.
--------------------------------------------
If you try to move towards the star on your compass you will see that there
is no place to go. Soon a mortar balstwill clear away a section of wall ahead
and some Germans will open fire from within. Lean out from behind the brick
wall and take them out with your Mosin Nagant.
When you go through the hole grab one of the MP40s on the floor and reload it
if it needs to. Move through to the opening and lean out into the hall. Shoot
the three Germans at the end (who are doing the same exact thing as you). Now
move up the stairs. There will be two Germans on the landings in between the
stairs.
At the top move through the building and shoot the two Germans who are waiting
inside. Grab the sniper rifle by the window.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Eliminate the officers in the enemy blockade. [4]
---------------------------------------------------------------
Your companion will order you to shoot the German officers in the blockade
below you. They are pretty easy to spot if you know what to look for. They
will be a bit more dressed up than the normal foot soldiers and they are
making this big arm waving movement with their arms. There are two in the
actual trench and then there are two on the landing of the building behind the
trench.
--------------------------------
Objective 1 : Retake Red Square.
--------------------------------
Now move back to the square. You will encounter no resistance at all so don't
worry. When you get to the square the Germans will slowly be eliminated by
gunshots or artillery. You don't have to do anything besides sit back and
pick your nose.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Rendezvous with Major Zubov via the train station.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Head through the trench and make your way through a small underground room.
When you emerge into the sunlight on the other side you will immediately come
under fire from about 3 German snipers. Pick up your Kar98k and spot the
muzzle flashes. When you have one zeroed in, look through the scope and pick
him off.
After the snipers have been killed about 4 more Germans will come into the
area so snipe them with your Kar98k and move ahead with the rest of your
squad.
If you look through the gap in the next brick wall you will see three Germans
running through. Shoot them quickly because they can be a bit hard to weed
out once they get into their defensive position.
As soon as you round that corner they came around you will be face to face
with an MG42 gunner. Quickly shoot him in the face. There will be two more
Germans right behind this guyt on the sides and two hiding behind the wall
taking pot-shots at you. Take out the first two with a sub-machine gun and
then try to rifle the two behind the wall.
As soon as you pass the corner behind where the two Germans were hiding look
left and you will see two more of them in a little opening in the wall.
Quickly go prone and shoot them with your rifle. Now proceed through the
opening where they were. Do the same thing except that the two enemies are to
the right of the opening.
Move to the next hole in the wall and shoot the two or three Germans that are
in the large space beyond it. Now lean out from the wall, facing the
direction in which they came. You will see a MG42 gunner in the distance, or
if you don't then try to sidestep a small distance to get a better view.
Now move past where he was and take out your sub-machine gun. A German will
appear in the opening behind the MG42 pit. Shoot him and then get out your
rifle. Snipe all of the Germans (about 6 or so) in the courtyard in front of
the train station and then head for the main door of the station.

Objective 1 : Rendezvous with Major Zebov.
------------------------------------------
This mission is very short. When the level starts move forward and look up to
the left. You will make out two Germans standing behind the railing. Shoot
them and move up the stairs. Move to the doorway at the top of the stairs
(on the left) and lean out to shoot the German who is standing in the room.
Get out your sniper rifle and shoot the MG42 gunner that is all the way across
the opening along with any German sniper or machine gunners who are on the
various walkways.
Move out onto the walkway and keep an eye on the ledge to the right. When you
are about halfway across the walkway about 5 snipers will pop up and open fire
on you. Crouch and put on the scope of your rifle. Move side to side on the
walkway shooting at the snipers, only pausing briefly to shoot them.
Now jump down to the pit below and try to make your way back towards the
direction you came in. There should be two Germans in the proximity of a
staircase. Take it and you will find yourself on another walkway that will
take you to the other side of the opening. However, there is one
complication. There are more snipers waiting for you on the left. Do the
same as I instructed above for the first batch and move on.
There will be maybe two or three Germans ahead in this section but they are
easily killed with your PPSh. Drop down off of the ledge and head into the
building ahead.
Now you come to a large field. There are Germans approaching all over it so
either pick them off with your Scoped Mosin Nagant or use the MG42 to quickly
take care of them. Personally I like to snipe at this point but using the
MG42 works well too.
Once they are all down move towards the star on your compass and you will find
a few of your Russian comrades waiting for you in a building.

Congratulations on your promotion to Junior Sergeant, Alexei Ivanovich. I
need every sniper I can get!
This morning, the Germans recaptured a four-story apartment building near the
gristmill on Penzenskaia Street. This is an important building, Alexei! From
this building, it is possible to see very far in all directions and to direct
artillery fire much more accurately.
In order to retake it, I sent some men on a reconnaissance mission over four
hours ago, but I have not heard back from this squad since. I want you to go
there and find out what the situation is. Support their actions if you find
them. Otherwise, return at once and report it to the command post.
German sniper activity on the surface route is reported to be very high today,
so I suggest you take the sewers instead.
Major V.S. Zubov, 13th Guards Div.

- Use the sewers to bypass the enemy lines.
-------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Use the sewers to bypass the enemy lines.
-------------------------------------------------------
Despite what the German says over the louspeaker I would advise against
turning yourself in because the Germans that you will come across have no
intention of following up on that promise.
When you reach the intersection of the sewer look immediately to your left.
There are a few Germans waiting behind some boxes for you. Shoot them with
your Scoped Mosin Nagant and then move to wheree they were. Another German
should come up to you around this point so have your PPSh out and ready.
Look up to the little opening in the ceiling of the sewer. A couple Germans
will run by shooting at you. If you are quick enough you should be able to
nail them. Now look straight ahead. Yu should see another German peeking out
from behind a wall. Lie down and shoot him with your Scoped Mosin Nagant.
When you move forward to the railing some Russians will pop out in front of
you. I must say that I did shoot one of them down because I was very
surprised when it happened. Don't let the same thing happen to you.
Move up the stairs to the right and shoot the three Germans waiting up there
with your PPSh or whatever sub-machine gun you have with you. Now move around
the next corner and do the same thing.
Now move to the boxes by the opening to above. take out your Scoped Mosin
Nagant and smnipe the two Germans on the balconies, the one on the floor of
the bombed out building to the right, and one who is shooting at you from a
window in the left. Move through the opening and look to the left when you
get into the sewer again. Shoot the two Germans running through.
Move to the bend in the tunnel, stay close to the wall, and keep your Mosin
Nagant out. When you pass a certain point a German will run out onto the
balcony on the side. Snipe him and do the same on the other balcony on the
other side. When the second German is falling to the ground look towards the
end of the sewer. There should be one German coming at you but there may be
two.
Now move up the stairs ahead and through the sewer tunnel. When you go
through the next hole in the wall, at the end of the tunnel, you will find a
squad of Russians fighting a squad of Germans. Help them fight them off and
then move around the next corner in the room.
Shoot the Germn soldiers who run behind the sandbags ahead with your PPSh.
Look in the direction they came from and you will see two more or possibly
three (I think it can be either number). Lean out from your point of cover
with your Scoped Mosin Nagant and snipe the Germans who try to do the same to
you.
Now move through and you will face another squad of Germans. Look towards the
first hole in the wall and ignore the first German who runs past since it is
almost impossible to get him. Instead wait with your gun pointing there and
you will soon enough see one coming through shooting at you. Throw som lead
in hid direction and then proceed to take out the remaining Germans with your
Scoped Mosin Nagant.
Go to the end of the passsage and then head up the little dirt incline to get
into the another one. When you are about halfway through you will be shot at
from behind a box by a German. You may either run and gun him quickly or
take the safe approch and shoot him in the head with your sniper rifle while
taking cover.
Now move around the boxes and round the corner. Now you will see two more
Germans line themselves up for you to shoot. Snipe them or machine gun them
(sniping is easier in this case) and then move through the hole in the floor.
Two of your Russian comrades are fighting a small squad of German snipers and
machine gunners at the end of this sewer tunnel. Run up to help them. Use
your Scoped Mosin Nagant to take out the snipers. if one of them throws a
grenade, fall back and wait for it to go off. Then resume your fighting.
When they are all down move into the building and find the hole in the floor.
Drop through it and you will be done with this mission.

Objectives
==========
- Assemble with Sgt. Pavlov's squad.
- Eliminate the snipers. [7]
- Get across the field.
- Clear out the apartment building. [6 Floors]
- Regroup with Sgt. Pavlov on the fourth floor.
- Use the 2nd floor anti-tank rifle to blow up the tank.
- Use the 3rd floor anti-tank rifle to blow up the tank.
- Hold the building until relieved by friendly units.
- Clear the area of any remaining forces. [5]
- Assemble with the reinforcements out front.
------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Assemble with Sgt. Pavlov's squad.
------------------------------------------------
Easy enough. Just follow Sgt Pavlov tot he end of the trench and let him talk
to the Russian private.
-----------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Eliminate the snipers. [7]
-----------------------------------------
Take out your Scoped Mosin Nagant and aim it at the building ahead. You will
have to take out 7 snipers that try to shoot at the Russain scampering across
the field. Look for the muzzle flashes and then just take them out
accordingly. They will only appear one at a time so that makes it a bit
easier.
-----------------------------------
Objective 3 : Get across the field.
-----------------------------------
As soon as you are done sniping, artillery will begin to drop. Get your ass
across the field as quickly as possible.
----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 4 : Clear out the apartment building. [6 Floors]
----------------------------------------------------------
Now this is the second hardest part of the level (no, I'm not shitting you,
there is a harder part than this). The building will now be filled to the
brim with MG42 gunners, snipers, machine gunners, and infantry troops. You
have to take out all of them before you can move on.
Start out by using your Scoped Mosin Nagant rifle to lean out very quickly and
take out one enemy. Rinse and repeat for until they are all out. Much easier
said than done.
Now sweep up towards the top of the house taking out all the enemies you see.
Move slowly, there is no rush, and if you do rush you will be looking at a
game over screen in no time at all. Make sure to hit the bottom floor as
well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Regroup with Sgt. Pavlov on the fourth floor.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Head to the fourth floor with Sgt Pavlov and he will tell you to take out any
incoming tanks with the anti-tank rifles on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the
apartment building.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Use the 2nd floor anti-tank rifle to blow up the tank.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down one floor and find the anti-tank rifle by the window. If you are
having trouble finding it then refer to your on-screen compass. Press "F"
when you get close to it and then aim at the incoming tank and fire about 5
shots into the tank. That should do it. There is almost no reload time for
the rifle so you can just fire off a whole volley of shots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 7 : Use the 3rd floor anti-tank rifle to blow up the tank.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Do the same as above for the second tank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 8 : Hold the building until relieved by friendly units.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Now here comes the big one. You have to hold the building against a huge
amount of incoming infantry forces until reinforecments arrive. The best way
to do this is to go up to the third floor and lie down by the staircase.
Situate yourself so that you are in between the staircase and the wall to the
right of it. Try to move as far left as you can so that any attackers will
have to be in front of you or close to it in order to shoot at you. Make sure
that you have an MP40 in your hands because you are going to need the ammo and
most of the German attackers are carrying one.
---------------------------------------------------------
Objective 9 : Clear the area of any remaining forces. [5]
---------------------------------------------------------
Just cealn up any remaining infantry inside the building. There shouldn't be
too many. At most there will be 15 left. Take your time, just like before.
There is no rush.
----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 10 : Assemble with the reinforcements out front.
----------------------------------------------------------
Head outside to where the squad is and the mission will be over. Whew!

Junior Sergeant Voronin,
I have read the reports of your actions with the 13th Guards Division at
Stalingrad and Kursk. You should consider yourself very lucky to have made it
this far. Of the more than 10,000 troops who fought in your division at
Stalingrad, you were amongst some 260 survivors.
In response to my recent request for experienced troop replacements, you have
been transferred to assist the units under my command. A soldier with a good
record like yours will do us some good.
In the next few days we will advance through Warsaw, forcing the Germans to
retreat even further. I am sending troops ahead of the offensive into the
manufacturing districts to clear out factories and rail yards being used by
the Germans to repair their tanks.
As you will be responsible for leading one of the squads into the area, you
are hereby promoted to full Sergeant.

- Secure the tank repair facility.
----------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Secure the tank repair facility.
----------------------------------------------
As soon as the level begins moce forward and take out the Germans ahead with
your PPSh and with the Scoped Mosin Nagant. You could use the PPSh for all of
them, if you do fire in short bursts to keep your accuracy. Or on the other
hand you could just run and gun them but that would not be the wisest choice
since you will most likely take a bunch of damage. This is very early in the
level so you don't want to be doing that.
Go to the door ahead and wait to the side of it while the two soldiers blow it.
As soon as it blows you should lie down on the ground under the little bridging
that goes over the door. Shoot the Germans that move in front of you. There
should be about three or four.
Now crouch and move forward into the hall. First check the right side to make
sure that there is nobody coming from there and then look left and take out
anybody coming from there. Your squad will take out a few of them. Before you
move down the steps kill any Germans inside the side room on the hall on the
way to the stairs.
Now you are free to move down the stairs. When you get to the bottom of the
stairs quickly sub-machine gun the Germans coming at you and then look into the
room to the left. Kill the three Germans by shooting them in the head, their
heads should be poking up above the overturned table.
Move around the corner with your PPSh equipped and waste the three or four
Germans that come hauling ass around the corner. Now move down the hall and
into the tank room.
Take out your Scoped Mosin Nagant and quickly but carefully take out the
Germans on the walkway above and to the right. If you can scan the rest of the
facility from the doorway and not see any other Germans lurking around then
take out for PPSh and move to the opposite end of the hangar, shooting any
Germans you see on the way.
Go through the door on the opposite end of the hangar and move up the stairs
killing the two Germans that are on the stairway or in the hallway. Now move
out onto the the walkway and assists your two squad mates ahead to clear out
the small room ahead. Throw a grenade into it to flush them out or to kill
them outright.
Move through the next hallway eliminating any opposition you encounter. When
you reach the window on the right side, shoot it out and either toss a few
grenades into the room below or shoot the Germans below. There should be two
of them.
Now move down the staircase and shoot the four Germans that come through the
room ahead. Try to stay to the left side of the hallway so that they have to
come into your gun sights before they can hit you.
Go through the room and move through the tank hangar. On the left side of it
should be a door to the outside. Once outside there is only one way for you
to go. That way is through the door to the left. In this little hallway is
about four Germans. Either toss a grenade in or run and gun them. Once they
are down, move forward towards the door behind them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Regroup with the 4th army on the outskirts of the complex.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right at the start take out your Scoped Mosin Nagant and lie down. Shoot the
Germans ahead of you and then get up and look to the right, outside the door.
Take out the two Germans hiding behind the boxes.
Now take out your PPSh or whatever machine gun you have at this point and kill
any Germans that are approaching from the left, behind the rail cars. If you
are sure that there are no more then take out your SCoped Mosin Nagant rifle
and move to the right of the doorway. When you get to the end of the rail car
crouch and look to the left. You should see an MG42 gunner and and a few other
Germans by him. Take out the MG42 gunner with the Mosin Nagant and then shoot
the rest of them.
Now move to the area of the MG42 pit. You will see a broken wall and an empty
space behind that wall. Move through that space and peek over the wall on the
other side of it. You will see an MG42 gunner, a tank that rolls out of the
hangar, and a few other footsoldiers.
For now ignore the tank as it cannot shoot at you. So take out the MG42 gunner
with your Scoped Mosin Nagant as well as any footsoldiers that try to dash for
cover.
Now it is time to take out the tank. Go to the little alleyway to the right
and pick up a Panzerfaust from the container. Go back to where you shot at the
Germans standing around the tank and fire a shot into the side of the Tiger
Tank.
Move through the alleyway and stand by the side of the tank, looking into the
hangar. Snipe all the Germans in the hnagar and then move to the other end.
Take out your machine gun on the way there. Move into the little room on the
right and shoot the German behind the table and his buddy on the left. Move
out the next doorway and out into the open.
Toss a few grenades around, as you probably have some to spare at this point,
and then shoot any remaining Germans. After they are all dead move to the
truck and your mission will end.

Sergeant Alexei Voronin,
We are almost upon the Oder River. From there, it is less than 70 kilometers
to the lair of the fascist beast! Some of our tank crews are decorated
veterans of the Battle of Kursk. They will lead this drive to the Oder.
However, there are still severe shortages of trained tank crews. The expanded
design of our new T-34-85 tank accommodates five crewmembers, but many of the
crews under my command have as few as three crewmen. To be fully effective,
these crews must have a driver/mechanic, a hull machine gunner, a main gunner,
a loader, and a commander.
I have been authorized to enlist soldiers at will from the infantry to fill
out the incomplete crews. Given your combat record, you will be the
command/spotter for a less experienced, but technically competent tank crew.
When the next batch of fully trained replacements reaches the front, you will
be returned to your former unit.
Report to the tank bearing tactical number 1126 by 0900 hrs.

Objective 1 : Reach the outskirts of the next town.
---------------------------------------------------
Get accustomed to the controls of the tank and then move forward along the road
along with the rest of your unit. When you round the corner look tot he left
and you will see some enemy tanks approaching along the other side of the river
bank. Quickly fire off some shots and blow them up.
Move over the bridge and along the river until you see about 5 or 6 tanks
coming from in front of you across the river. Try to take them out before they
come across the river or else they will have a better shot at you and you will
take more damage than is best for you.
Now move further down the road and you will enter a narrow valley with Germans
hiding behind every rock and tree trying to fire a Panzerfaust at you. Go
slowly and take your time.
When you reach the hill at the end of the valley there will be a group of about
12 Tiger tanks in the field above you. Work quickly and efficiently. Be sure
of your aim before you fire because you can't afford to waste time here. Try
to eliminate the tanks closest to you and then go for the tanks further away.
Once you move further along the road the mission will end.

Objective 1 : Destroy the Flak 88 artillery guns. [2]
-----------------------------------------------------
Immediately when the mission starts start blasting away at the buildings in
front of you to take out any Panzerfausters in the buildings. There are a lot
of them scattered throughout the town so be very cautious. I will not inform
you of all of them because there are so many of them and you don't really have
to be pointed out to them because you should just scour all the buildings and
hiding places before moving ahead.
When you move around the corner there will be a German tank down the road.
Shoot it and move along around the next corner. Shoot the tank to the left and
then go further down the road.
As you are coming down into the next open area a few Germans will come out of
a building right in front of you with Panzerfausts. Shoot them quickly and
then enter the square. Shoot the four tanks and the tank that comes through
the arch.
Now go through the arch and you will see the Flak 88 guns and the Flakpanzer
anti-aircraft gun in the field ahead. Shoot the Flak 88 right in front of you
and then look around for some enemy tanks. There will be a few of them. Then
just continue through the field shooting the next Flak 88 and the Germans
around it.

January 15, 1945
Northeast of Bastogne, Belgium
A few weeks ago the enemy broke through our lines in the Ardennes and the
101st was rushed into battle to hold the town of Bastogne. Well, we're still
holding Bastogne, surrounded on all sides and taking quite a beating.
We are dug in around a captured German bunker called Festung Recogne. The
enemy holds two more bunkers on the other side of the ridge.
Between us and them are mine fields, a frozen stream and a bridge. At least
two enemy artillery guns have our attack route zeroed in. We are attacking
those bunkers today.
Theres a lot of new faces in the trenches these days. I have a feeling there
will be even more after today.

- Capture all enemy documents. [2]
- Destroy the German tanks.
----------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Capture all enemy documents. [2]
----------------------------------------------
As soon as Captain Foley is done briefing you run across the field ahead. Try
to keep to the right side of the, as close to the mine signs as you can get
without blowing yourself up. Try to stay in close proximity to the road
because it will guide you to the general area of where you should be.
When you see the little valley ahead stay low and try to get behind a rock or
some other type of obstacle. Scout ahead with your Springfield rifle and see
if you find the MG42 pit ahead, if it isn't already shooting at you. Quickly
lean out and try to take out the MG42 gunner. If not just get the genarl idea
of wheree he is and then lean out again. Once the MG42 gunner is out,
eliminate the two other Germans standing in the pit.
Go up the hill by the MG42 pit and head towards the bunker atop the hill. Shoot
any ground troops with your Thompson and then head into the bunker. There
should be about three or four Germans inside the bunker so shoot them quickly
and grab the documents on the bed. See if there are any people manning the
MG42 guns in the bunker, if so shoot them, if not then.... don't.
Now head out of the bunker and take out your Springfield again. Scout out the
MG42 pits of the next bunker to make sure that they are cleared out. If they
are indeed manned then move quickly to take them out because you probably don't
want to screw around with those things.
Move to the next bunker and rinse and repeat the process from the last one.
Shoot the three or four Germans inside, grab the documents, and then make sure
there is nobody in the MG42 pits.
-------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Destroy the German tanks. [2]
-------------------------------------------
Now Captain Foley will inform you that two enemy tanks are coming in over the
hill behind the bunker. Head up the hill and spot the two tanks coming in and
the crew of the Flak 88 gun. Take out the Flak 88 crew before the tanks
because they will not let you get a clear shot of the tank if they are still
alive. They are easy enough to take care of. Just toss about three grenades
into the area and then move up and shoot the remaining crew with yout Thompson.
Now head back into the bunker and grab a Panzerfaust from the box on the floor.
Go up the hill and shoot one of the tanks. Then go back and do the same
process for the second tank. They are probably facing away from you so don't
worry about taking any damage from them.
Find Captain Foley and he will congratulate you on a job well done. Congrat's
you have finished all of the American missions!

Objective 1 : Destroy the Flakvierling anti-aircraft cannons. [2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as the mission has started look over the rock you are behind and take
out the 5 or so Germans down in the field, hiding behind the rocks. Move down
to where they were and change any of your weapons with theirs because the
British weapons suck.
Peak over the little ridge and take out the Germans in the bunker and the ones
in the little trench that goes in front and to the side of it. Go over the
hill and keep doing the same sort of thing until you reach the bunker with the
MG42 gun.
When you reach it, you will know when you do, take out your sniper rifle and
look through the scope. Keep slowly stepping sideways until you can just
barely see the MG42 gunner. Quickly shoot him before he gets the chance to do
likewise to you.
Now move behind the rocks at the base of the hill where the MG42 gunner was.
Snipe all of the Germans defending the Flakvierlings and toss a few grenades
around if you feel the need to.
Destroy the Flakvierlings by planting the explosives on the yellow markers.
----------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Intercept and destroy the supply trucks. [2]

Go over the next hill killing the group of Germans who come charging over the
top. You should see a road further ahead. Wait on top of the hill and when
the trucks get to your approximate position they will be blown up by another
group of your British allies. Run down to the road once you have taken out
any leftover Germans. Sgt Waters will address them and they will team up with
you to go the the V2 site.
----------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Locate the V2 launch site.
----------------------------------------
Keep going down the road, shooting any Germans who are hiding in the rocks and
the ones in the bunker. You should see one of the V2s in the distance soon
enough.
-------------------------------
Objective 4 : Fuel the rockets.
-------------------------------
When you see the V2 rockets head towards the small bunker in the middle of the
area and shoot the Germans that come charging towards you. Take out your
Kar98k and snipe any MG42 gunners that you see and any distant Germans. Now
head into the bunker byb that last MG42 gunner. There are only about five
Germans in here so don't worry too much. Just keep heading into the bunker
towards the star n your compass. When you find the switch in the little
boiler room-type thing flip it and then move out of the bunker again.
-------------------------------------
Objective 5 : Destroy the V2 rockets.
-------------------------------------
Plant your explosives on each of the V2 Rockets. After all three are destroyed
the objective will be completed. Don't worry about the enemy, they are either
dead or close to it (courtesy of your squad mates).
-----------------------------------------------------
Objective 6 : Exfiltrate through the northern bunker.
-----------------------------------------------------
Move through the doorway of the bunker marked by the star on your compass.
Shoot the few Germans inside and then go outside with Sgt Waters. Congrat's,
you have finished all of the British missions.

Comrades,
It has been almost three years since we repelled the Germans at Stalingrad and
began the long journey to Berlin. As we fought back across the Motherland, we
saw countless examples of the destruction and suffering caused by our fascist
enemies. Now, their capital city lies in ruins, their armies in disarray.
Only one goal remains.
At the beginning of the Berlin offesnive, nine Red Victory Flags were handed
out to various divisions for hoisting over the Reichstag. We in the 150th
Rifle Division have the honor of being one of them.
The Germans defenders have nothing to lose and will fight ruthlessly! Do
whatever is necessary to defeat them! We must get our standard bearers to the
rooftop at any cost.
Soon, we will begin our attack, and achieve total victory for the Motherland.
Major P.K. Grishin, 150th Rifle Div.,

==========
Objectives
==========
- Destroy all enemy anti-tank positions. [4]
- Storm the Reichstag and get to the rooftop.
- Hold the line until the tanks arrive.
--------------------------------------------------------
Objective 1 : Destroy all enemy anti-tank positions. [4]
--------------------------------------------------------
Finally, the final mission of Call of Duty. When the mission begins get out
your Scoped Mosin Nagant rifkle and move up the hill to the left. Move into
a place where you can spot several MG42 gunners and snipers in the buildings
ahead. Crouch and get behind the nearest wall. Lean out and take out as many
of the MG42 gunners and snipers as possible before moving on.
Keep moving until you are within close range of the first Flak gun. Take out
any Germans guarding it and then run up and plant your explosives on the Flak
gun. Get behind something or move away when it is blowing up.
Now move into the building that the Flak 88 is housed in and try to get close
to one of the windows. Spot the MG42 gunners by the tank and lob a few
grenades through the window towards them. Then duck for cover.
When all of the machine gunners by the tank have been eliminated jump out the
window quickly run alongside the building and jump in the next window. Recover
your wits and head back out to the flak gun that is covered by an overhand
and some walls. Plant the explosives, grab any health you need, and go out
and to the left to the next flak gun.
Shoot the Germans lurking behind the corners in this little courtyard ahead
and go to the Flak gun and plant the explosives on it. After it has been
destroyed you can either move towards the tank in the road behind you or move
around the ourtyard killing some Germans. I strongly suggest that you had
for the tank, for ammo conservation. Your teammates will take care of them
for you if you leave them alone.
Stay close to the wall on the right when heading for the tank. When you get
close enough to it to plant the explosives do so and high-tail it ouit of
there.
Move to the little courtyard and join your teammates waiting for the tank.
When the tank shoots a hole in the wall run through and shoot the two Germans
beyond it.
---------------------------------------------------
Objective 3 : Hold the line until the tanks arrive.
---------------------------------------------------
Duck down behind something and get out your Scoped Mosin Nagant rifle. Lean
out and take out a few snipers and MG42 gunners until the tanks arrive (don't
worry about damage too much unless you are on one of the higher difficulties).
---------------------------------------------------------
Objective 2 : Storm the Reichstag and get to the rooftop.
---------------------------------------------------------
Now move in for the final blow. Run to the door of the Reichstag shooting
anybody who you deem to be a threat. When you get to the steps you will have
to shoot at least one German on the steps.
get inside and shoot the Germans atop the stairs to the right and next to the
stairs. Keep moving into the little room that looks to be some sort of
meeting place for a council. Take out your PPSh and shoot the Germans
in-between the benches and on the other side of the railings on the far side
of the room.
Move through the room and out into the small opening that is out the door.
Snipe the Germans at the top of the opening and move up it. Now make your
way up to the rooftop and final victory. Once you reach the forward section
of the roof you will be joined by some enthusiastic, flag-waving Russians.
Congratulations! You have won the war in Europe! Now settle down for the
closing of the game.

In the final years of the first half of the 20th Century, battles were fought,
won, and lost. Battles that would change face of every government, every
country, every man, and every woman, everywhere. For the rest of humankind's
existence. In these battles the essence of good vs. evil was fought day to
day, on the battlefields of Eastern and Western Europe, Africa, Italy, and the
Pacific ocean. They were battles that would determine the outcome of every
generation to follow. Every generation after these brave men, whom by
themselves, of no influence other than their own self righteousness, instinct,
and sense of inner strength answered their country, and their fellow man's
call... the Call of Duty.

M1A1 Carbine
------------
Range : Medium
Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : Moderate
Mobility : Fast
Description from Call of Duty manual:
The M1A1 Carbine, a 30. caliber semi-automatic rifle with a folding
stock, is commonly issued to paratroopers. Though it lacks the
stopping power of larger rifles, it's lightweight, accurate, and
compact.
By Brendon:
The M1A1 Carbine is perhaps the most overlooked weapon in online
gaming history. It was fairly popular during WW2, however, games like
Medal of Honor have completely left it out. In Call of Duty and Call
of Duty United Offensive multiplayer, players tend to never pick it.
It's a real shame, as this may be the best weapon in the game. Really.
It's light, has a higher rate of fire than any other rifle, does long
range damage like the revolver does short range, and it's on-the-dime
accurate. Perfect weapon for Domination mode, as you can kill the
enemy long range and still run quickly from flag to flag.
Others say the Kar98k is just as mobile as the Carbine, and since it
dishes out more damage it's better. So not true. What happens when you
fire a Kar98k close range and miss, while the other guy has a Tommy
Gun? You're finished! With the Carbine you can miss and still survive!
You have 14 more bullets in that clip, and if you can aim for the head
you can take him out just as good as any Kar98k could. This weapon is
a must-pickup every time you find one. If you are using an MP40 or
some other automatic weapon, the Carbine can make a useful utility
weapon. You can get those who are too far to kill easily with the SMG,
and you can use the weapon as a powerful side-arm when you're in the
heat of a close battle.
History of the M1A1 Carbine:
The M1A1 Carbine rifle fired a special round derived from the
Winchester .32 commercial cartridge of limited power. The butt of the
rifle was something like a tubular skeleton and many could be folded,
proving extremely useful to the Airborne troops. It resembled a
sporting arm more than a military carbine, and it could fire 15 rounds
per clip.
---------
M1 Garand
---------
Range : Long
Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : High
Mobility : Fast
Description from Call of Duty manual:
The M1 Garand is a powerful and accurate semi-automatic rifle. It's
primary drawback is that it can't be conveniently reloaded in the
middle of a clip.
By Brendon:
Great weapon for holding a defensive line in levels such as Foy. The
iron sights are wide and very accurate in projecting where your shot
will go, and it will put a man down with one shot to the upper body.
It cannot be reloaded in the middle of a clip so in stealthy
situations this gun is a death-wish to use. Bring in the Carbine!
Anyway, despite the fact that the Carbine is better in many ways, it
doesn't mean you should never use the Garand. The damage it can dish
out and the fact that it is semi auto definitely makes this weapon
better for defensive and certain offensive attacks.
My best advice when using this gun is to fire from a high position,
such as a church tower hill top. Always fire under cover, and from a
concealed area because of the noise of the weapon combined with the
large tracers it gives off is going to draw fire to you. Also, strafe
around so that you are a hard to hit target.
History of the M1 Garand:
The standard WWII American weapon was the M1 Garand. It was
attractive yet heavy, unlike the version you get in Call of Duty. It
was fed from 8 round chargers, entered service in 1936, and performed
well under rough conditions. It was far superior to many other
standard issue weapons to most of the Axis countries troops, such as
Japan and Germany, who did not have a gun like this issued to enough
troops to make a difference like the Americans could, with the mighty
Garand.
------------------------
Browning Automatic Rifle
------------------------
Range : Long
Rate of Fire : Fast
Damage : High
Mobility : Slow
Description from Call of Duty manual:
The Browning Automatic Rifle is a squad support weapon, used to lay
down accurate suppression fire at enemy positions. It is most
effective when used while prone.
By Brendon:
The BAR is horrible for most of the new modes in CoD UO, but is a
rampaging beast in old levels like Carentan. The crosshairs become
very small, and you can take perfectly accurate slow-fire shots with
them. It has a nasty recoil so I recommend you hit the crouch button
before you engage any enemy at any range. Anyone facing this thing
with a weaker weapon is doomed, if you're going to kill someone with a
BAR you must take him out quickly and stealthy.
Another thing this weapon is good for is when you are doomed to the
miserable fate of manning the passenger seat of a jeep. You have a
powerful weapon that's fully automatic and dead accurate. A jeep
driver with a BAR has confidence that the guy to his right will
protect him, he knows the machine gunner is too exposed to do
everything. There's so many uses for this gun, you can find a new one
every day. The best tip I have for someone who just got CoD:UO and
cannot seem to stop using the BAR because of habits developed in the
original CoD, is to use your pistol wisely. Take out your pistol as
you run from flag to flag, and press 1 (default, 2 if you've picked
the weapon off a corpse) to whip it out when you need it. This will
turn you into a killing machine on speed. Also, do not forget the
sprint key (alt by default), that can be useful for crossing a small
field or to run across an alley that has a sniper guarding it.
History of the Browning Automatic Rifle:
The Browning automatic rifle was a semiautomatic weapon dating from
WW1 with a limited magazine capacity of 20 rounds, and had excessive
weight and length.
It was equipped with a bipod (which was usually taken off and thrown
away by soldiers using it in the Pacific Theatre) and used as a squad
LMG. It was very effective in the jungles, and it struck fear into the
hearts of Japanese soldiers. When the Japanese heard it they were
afraid because they knew it had the power of a stationary machine gun,
but was fully mobile. It could be shot in any direction and they
didn't want to be the ones on the other end of the iron sights. It
wasn't used as effectively in the European theatre, which was probably
due to there being more in the Pacific than Europe. No one really
knows exactly why, but it was probably because of the big differences
in combat between the two bloodiest theatres of WW2.
-----------
Springfield
-----------
Range : Very Long
Rate of Fire : Slow
Damage : Very High
Mobility : Medium
Description from Call of Duty manual:
The Springfield M1903, originally developed after the
Spanish-American War, is a sniper rifle equipped with a 4x zoom scope.
As a bolt-action scoped weapon, it has a slow rate of fire and reloads
one round at a time.
By Brendon:
An ideal weapon for use in large open levels, like Rhine Valley. Use
much as you would the M1 Garand, only fire under cover and preferably
while prone. The scope wiggles and jiggles while you move, so it's
useless while moving. My favorite thing to do with this old rifle is
to take it down by the enemy spawn, pick of a Nazi or two, then move
to another spot overlooking the spawn. You'll be invincible at times
if you can find an SMG as a side arm. You can protect yourself close
range and you have the advantage of seeing long range. Although… you
must watch out for Germans spying you out with binoculars, once they
see you they'll make sure you're dead.
When forced to use the weapon while moving, shoot then hide until you
are ready to fire another round. Same goes with the Kar98k with scope.
Never use it in a close range level, especially indoors! Ideal for
some older CoD levels such as Depot, Hurtgen, and sometimes Dawnville.
I also like to use it in Foy during CTF and Base-Assault gametype's.
History of the Springfield:
The US used two bolt-action rifles during the war, the M 1903
Springfield and the M 1917 Enfield. Both were chambered for the .30-06
round and the former M 1903 A 4 was a sniper variant. Even though in
Call of Duty they only have this weapon sporting a scope, it was used
without one by some soldiers whom it was issued to. It would make a
good American version of the Kar98k if they would make it selectable
like one.
--------
Thompson
--------
Range : Short
Rate of Fire : Fast
Damage : High
Mobility : Fast
Description from Call of Duty manual:
The Thompson submachine gun is effective at close range and fires the
powerful .45 ACP round. It's notoriously inaccurate at distance but
compensates with a high rate of fire.
By Brendon:
I used to use this gun all the time. It's perfect for newbies, and he
who masters it will be hard to kill. Great for any level believe it or
not. You can get medium-long range kills if you fire it in shorts
burst at the upper body. Good spray and pray weapon, excellent for
indoor combat. I recommend it for players with bad aim, and for those
with good aim. Very versatile, and can just about handle any situation
fairly well. It's very useful.
You will get eaten alive by enemies sporting semi-automatic rifles, so
beware. The German G43 rifle is the Tommy Gunners bane. Always pick up
some kind of rifle if you see it lying around, so that you can more
effectively deal with long range foes. I've used this gun so much I
can handle it with my eyes closed, but there are better weapons in the
game (cough-Carbine!-cough)
History of the Thompson:
The standard US SMG until 1942 was the .45-inch M 1928 A or A 1
Thompson, whose worth had been proved in the days of Prohibition in
the United Stats in the 1920's. The Thompson was a needlessly
complicated and expensive weapon with a Blish delaying action
centering around an H-shaped device which rose to lock the action. In
practice this was an unnecessary refinement, as were the Lyman sights
with windage scale and even the Cutts compensator on the muzzle.
However, the Thompson was reliable and thousands were shipped to
Britain in 1940. Some models had vertical and some horizontal finger
grips, and could accept 20 round box magazines or 50- or 100-round
drum ones which tended to rattle. It's a shame the Call of Duty
developers did not include the Grease Gun which replaced the Tommy Gun
later in the war, and was the American answer to the primarily British
Sten SMG.
--------
Colt .45
--------
Range : Short
Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : Moderate
Mobility : Very Fast
Description from Call of Duty manual:
A standard issue pistol for American paratroopers, favored by British
Airborne forces as well. The 7-round magazine is small, but the
stopping power of the large .45 caliber round makes the Colt useful in
a pinch.
By Brendon:
Pistols are one of the most important things you carry. Your main
weapon is not always reliable, and while using bolt action rifle you
can be in trouble at close range. The pistol is a must have basic
weapon for all soldiers. You always get one regardless of what weapon
you choose or what country you're playing as. When using an SMG you
might be in a close battle where every split second counts. You may
have your opponent's life down, but you have to reload your weapon.
That could take a while (or so it seems in the heat of battle)! So
what do you do? Forget the SMG, whip out your pistol and finish the
fool!!!
While using a machine gun you will not be able to fire your weapon
unless prone or stationary, so you must hold your pistol and run with
it until you find a suitable place you're your MG. This will protect
you against sudden ambushes. Also, while using a semi-automatic rifle
or even an assault rifle, you might run into the same situation I
described happening with the SMG. While using a bolt action rifle
pistol ammo is a must have, because if you must your first shot and
the enemy come charging at you, you do not have the time to wait for
the next bullet to be ready. And if you miss twice you're toast! So
trust in the pistol, and aim for the head my friends.
You must do the same thing with the sniper rifle as you'd do with the
bolt action ones, use the pistol for those tight situations. Always
remember when things are grim, your clan is losing, you're the last
hope of victory, and you need to bomb that Flak 88 but only have a
Springfield '03 to guard the bomb with, your pistol is there to serve
you. The pistol is your friend, the pistol loves you, and you love the
pistol. Don't forget the little guy.
History of the Colt .45:
The most important pistol- and in the opinion of many experts far and
away the best military pistol ever produced- used by the US forces
during WWII was the Colt M 1911 A1. No only was the pistol extremely
reliable and capable of being stripped without the aid of special
tools, but it also chambered the best service round. It was an
outstanding weapon and continues in service to this day. I may also
add that contrary to what the CoD manual says about this weapon, it
was not standard for all Airborne Units. Many Airborne soldiers had to
go and buy their own. Nonetheless, it was so good that some British
soldiers who retrieved a Luger as a trophy from a dead German, would
trade with an American for a Colt .45.
------------------------
M2 Fragmentation Grenade
------------------------
Range : Medium
Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : Very High
Mobility : Very Fast
Description from Call of Duty manual:
Fragmentation grenades are very effective anti-personnel devices. The
highly explosive charges reduce their metal casing to flying
fragments, causing considerable blast damage. Though they're
ineffective against armored vehicles, they are extremely useful for
clearing out entrenched enemy positions.
By Brendon:
You will use grenades so much while playing Call of Duty, that you
will become an expert with them in no time. You can cook them off in
CoD: UO by pressing right-click, and your crosshair will blink about 6
times before the grenade explodes. So throw the thing before it blows
your arms off. Be careful of enemy grenades, and don't do stupid
things like try to pick them up. Just run for your life or find cover.
When you find a batch of idiots all clumped together with little
light-bulbs over their heads (which means they're chatting) toss a
grenade at them and watch in delight as mild swear words full up the
chat screen.
Toss them at stingy enemies who won't come out of their hiding spot,
and when they run show them no mercy with your gun. Throw them in the
path of jeeps, toss them into windows that you think are full of
baddies, and always remember the enemy will use them against you. When
you're stuck in a glitch and don't feel like typing /kill in the
console, or that weird voice in your head is telling you to throw the
pin, toss 'em off walls at try to catch 'em… Well I guess you can't
catch them, but they will blow you up, which is what you wanted…
right? Just keep in mind that you have teammates, most of which aren't
willing to die because of your ignorance and odd sense of humor.
History of the M2 Fragmentation Grenade:
Not a lot of history can be found on this grenade. But what I do know
is that they aren't as light as you think. If you ever hold one you'll
see what I mean. It's not that they're hard to hold, it's just that
you realize why the soldiers didn't chuck them like baseballs all the
time. You'd throw your arm out like a little leaguer throwin'
curveballs.

Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : Moderate
Mobility : Very Fast
--------------------
RGD-33 Stick Grenade
--------------------
These are the standard issue Russian grenades in Call of Duty. They are a

out an enemy stronghold quickly without a significant amount of ammo used. One
or two of these will do most jobs for you with no trouble at all. Just make
sure that you are behind a barrier before the grenade explodes or are far away
from it. You don't want to get caught in its blast.

MP40
----
Manual Information : The MP40 submachine gun is an effective room-clearing
weapon. It has a relatively minimal climb even when fired fully automatic in
extended bursts.
Range : Medium
Rate of Fire : Fast
Damage : Moderate
Mobility : Fast
Historical Information : Heinrich Vollmer of the company Erma Erfurter
Waffenfabrik did not design by Hugo Schmeisser, but the very famous MP 40,
despite known as “the Schmeisser” by allied troops.
The weapon's advantages are reasonable accuracy, easy handling and relative
stability even when firing prolonged bursts. A disadvantage was the placement
of the 32-round magazines under the weapon. A weak point was the feeding of
cartridges to the gun, because of a tendency of the magazine system to get
dirty and the non-ideal shape of the cylindrical 9mm-cartridges, the weapon
could jam.
A late modification of the MP 40 was the MP 40/II that had two 32-round
magazines located beside each other so that the gunner could easily switch
over to the second magazine after spending the first one.
Practical range was below 200m, practical rate of fire below 100 rounds/min.
The weapon had a folding metal stock; it could not fix a bayonet or use the
Schiessbecher rifle-grenade firing device but could be fitted with a
Schalldämpfer ("silencer"), though this was very rare.
Technical Data: length (MP 38) 62cm (MP 40) 63cm; length (stock unfolded)
83cm; barrel length (MP 38) 24cm (MP 40) 25cm; weight (MP 38 with empty
magazine) 4.22kg (MP 40 w/o magazine) 3.97kg; weight of loaded 32-round
magazine: 640g; theoretical rate of fire (system) 400 rounds per minute;
ammunition: 9mmx19mm Parabellum.
----
MP44
----
Manual Information : The MP44 is an assault rifle that fires a unique “short”
rifle round. Up close, it can be used as a submachine gun, while at longer
ranges it can operate as a rifle.
Range : Long
Rate of Fire : Fast
Damage : High
Mobility : Medium
Historical Information : The Sturmgewehr 44 made history as the first real
assault rifle; in fact, the term "assault rifle" itself is a literal
translation of this weapon's designation. Obviously, the concept of the StGw
influenced Mikhail Kalashnikov in his development of the famous AK-47 assault
rifle (although the AK has a system of it's own right). The story of the
Sturmgewehr is that of the late success of an ingenious and right idea that
prevailed despite all efforts to stop it.
Many attempts had been made in several countries including Germany during the
1920ies to develop an automatic rifle that combined the characteristics of the
submachine gun - a high rate of fire and therefore fire volume - with that of
the then usual regular infantry rifle - accuracy and projectile power - while
at the same time eliminating the disadvantages of the respective weapon types.
Most of these attempts failed, because the conservative authorities did not
like the idea or -mostly- because these early weapons tried to use the regular
powerful rifle ammunition.
First large-scale use of this new weapon was with the 93rd ID in the northern
sector of the eastern front. After small changes the weapon was called MP 44.
It was not until July 1944 when several Division commanders personally begged
Hitler in his headquarters that the weapon was given production priority. In
December of that same year the weapon was given the suggestive name
Sturmgewehr or Sturmgewehr 44, abbreviated StG 44 or StGw 44. Total production
of the MP 43 and MP 44 / Sturmgewehr was 425,977 at a price of 66 RM for one
Sturmgewehr 44.
The Sturmgewehr 44 could also be fitted with ZF 1229 Vampir, an infrared night
sighting device. The scope for the Vampir mounted onto the StGw 44 weighed
2.3kg, the support devices were carried in a rucksack and weighed 13kg. 310 of
these night-fighting scopes were produced at the company Leitz. Another
intriguing invention was the Krummerlauf ("bent barrel"), a bent barrel with a
periscope sighting device for shooting around corners. This idea existed in
several variants, an "I"-version for infantry use and a "P" version for use in
tanks (to cover the dead areas in the close range around the tank to defend
against assaulting infantry), versions with 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°, and a
version for the StGw 44 and one for the MG 42. Only the 30° "I" - version for
the StGw 44 was produced in any numbers.

Mobility : Medium
Historical Information : The origins of the Mauser rifle family date back to
the late 19th century. The weapon was introduced by order of the German
emperor in April 1898 as the Gewehr 98 after a decade-long debate. It was to
become the standard military rifle in many countries for many years to come;
in Germany itself for over 50 years. They are still in use today with military
units in africa and southern America. A modified, shortened version of the
rifle was introduced into the Wehrmacht in 1935 as the standard rifle under
the designation Karabiner Modell Mauser 98 k ("multiple-shot carbine model
Mauser 98", "k" for "kurz" = "short"); it was also called Karabiner 98 k or
simply Mauser 98 k.
It was a bolt-action rifle with a fixed internal magazine for 5 rounds. The 98
k could fix a bayonet, the Schiessbecher for firing rifle grenades and
different Zielfernrohre ("scopes") ranging from the Zielfernrohr 40 and Zf 41
with a zoom factor of 1.5 to the Zf 39 and Zf 4 (also called Zf 43) with a 4x
zoom. Six percent of the 98k - production were to be fitted with a raail for
scopes; this number of sniper rifles could not be met. The German sniper with
the most kills was Gefreiter Hetzenauer with a total of 345 confirmed kills.
The weapon at left shows a Mauser 98k with the early Zf 39. The sights of the
regular rifles could be adjusted from 100m to 2000m in increments of 50m.
Different modified versions of the Mauser rifle were produced, among others
special versions for paratroopers and mountain troops. Production of the rifle
was kept up all through the war. The German army entered WW II with a total
number of 2,769,533 Kar 98k. Another 7.540,058 were delivered to the army
until the end of the war (including 126,291 sniper modifications); 925,984
were delivered to the Luftwaffe, 191,250 to the navy and 62,600 to the SS (the
SS received another 235,000 rifles, mainly Mauser-types, from their own
production), the regular price for one Mauser 98k rifle was 70.- RM.
Technical Data
--------------
Length : 111cm
Barrel length : 60cm
Weight empty (beech stock) : 3.9 - 4.1kg (walnut stock) 3.7 - 3.8kg
Practical rate of fire : 15 rounds/minute

The ammo consisted of stripper clips holding 5 rounds; three such strips fit
into a leather ammo pouch; ammo pouches were carried in connected sets of
three, which fit onto the belt of the field gear. A fully supplied regular
German infantry soldier would carry either one or two triple ammo pouches for
three strips per pouch, totaling for a default ammo load out of 45 or 90
rounds excluding the ammo in the rifle.
-------------
FG42 and MG42
-------------
Manual Information : The FG42 is a great multi-purpose weapon. It’s one of
the deadliest fully automatic weapons available and the single-fire mode is
effective at all ranges. A 4x zoom scope is standard issue.
Range : Very Long
Rate of Fire : Fast
Damage : High
Mobility : Medium
Historical Information : The comparably complicated construction of the MG 34
restricted mass production, therefore the numbers demanded by the army could
never be met. It was soon obvious that a simpler model was needed. The new
machine gun was to be manufactured from pressed and punched steel parts. The
proposed construction of the company Metall- und Lackierwarenfabrik Johannes
Grossfuss AG in Döbeln looked promising from the very start. Its inventor was
a skilled laborer by the name of Grunow who was specialized in the technique
of punching and pressing steel. He was sent into the regular training for
machine gunners in the army to find out what a machine gun's characteristics
were to be and then went on to design the MG 42. The MG 34 and the MG 42 are
easily discerned even at a quick glance by their barrel housings: while the MG
34 has a round housing with many round cooling holes, the MG 42 has a square
housing with oval cooling openings at the left and top side and a large
cooling slit on the right side.
The first prototype designated MG 39 was accepted for troop trials in February
1939; it was refined into the fifth and final prototype, the MG39/41, and sent
into a large combat evaluation involving 1,500 MG 39/41. After small detail
improvements, mass production was started and the weapon was introduced into
the army as the MG 42. Total production of the MG 42 for the German Wehrmacht
during WW II was 414,964. The companies Mauser Werke AG in Berlin, Gustloff-
Werke in Suhl, Grossfuss in Döbeln, Magnet in Berlin and Steyr-Daimler-Puch in
Vienna produced the weapon.
The weapon was air-cooled and recoil-operated with a slightly recoiling
barrel; the recoil mechanism based on a newly invented construction of a
breech with rollers. The belted mauser 7.92mm ammunition was fed from the left.
The unmatched simplicity, functionality and effectiveness of the design not
only resulted in a an astonishing ruggedness and immunity to the conditions of
front use, it also decreased the amount of resources and raw material
necessary to produce one MG 42 to 27.5 kg; it took only 75 work hours to
complete a MG 42 as opposed to the 150 necessary for the MG 34; the MG 42 cost
only 250.-- RM. Even today it is still regarded by many experts as the best
machine gun construction ever.
It had an overall length of 122.0 cm, a barrel of 53.0 cm and weighed 11.6 kg
in the role as a light machine gun equipped with the bipod. Then bipod, the
same as on the Mg 34, could be mounted to the front or the center of the gun.
In the role as a heavy machine gun it utilized the newly developed Lafette 42
("mount") that weighed 20.5 kg. The MG42's nominal rate of fire was 1500/min;
reportedly, this rate varied to a degree with individual weapons; furthermore,
the rate slightly increased in prolonged bursts. The higher rate of fire led
to a decreased barrel expectancy when compared with the MG34: the barrel was
only good for between 3,500 to 4,000 rounds. Later,. barrels were chrome-
plated which lengthened life expectancy a bit; still, the barrel became hot
rather fast and had to be changed often; the MG42 accounted for this with an
even further simplified barrel change mechanism.
Because of the ruggedness of the MG 42, it was preferred to issue this weapon
to the infantry and rather use the MG 34 in vehicle mounts where the MG 34 was
less exposed to dirt and damage.
A krummer Lauf ("bent barrel") was tested that was bent 30° from the normal
axis. Much like the krummer Lauf available for use with the Sturmgewehr 44 it
was intended for firing from defilade, at street corners etc. Naturally, the
krummer Lauf wore out rather quick and the idea was deemed unfeasible for a
machine gun.
With the acute material shortages of 1944 it was deemed necessary to further
simplify to save resources. This resulted in the MG 45, also called MG42V,
which modified the breech mechanism of the MG42 so that it didn't completely
lock before firing. This increased the theoretical rate of fire even further,
the weapon now only weighed 9 kg and - most importantly -production was
simplified and needed only steel of minor quality. First tests were undertaken
in June 1944, but development dragged on and eventually only ten were ever
built.
-----
Luger
-----
Manual Information : The Lugar Pistol carries 9mm ammunition and an 8-shot
magazine. It’s a highly prized trophy for allied soldiers and can often be
found as a sidearm in Russian or American hands.
Range : Short
Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : Moderate
Mobility : Very Fast
Historical Information : The famous Luger P 08 had been the official German
army pistol since it's introduction in August 1908 and remained in service
until the end of WW II, although production ceased in favor of it's successor
model, the P 38, in November 1942 because Luger was a comparably expensive (at
32.- RM), complicated to produce and despite it's reputation actually a rather
unreliable and impractical weapon. The weapon's fathers were Hugo Borchardt
who invented the famous knee-joint breech and Georg Luger who designed this
into the weapon. At a typical length of 22cm the weapon weighed 870g empty and
had a magazine capacity of 8 rounds. It fired the 9mm Parabellum ammunition at
a Vo of 340m/s. Wartime production of the P 08 was 412,898. Besides the ammo
stored in the magazine in the pistol, very often a second loaded spare
magazine was carried in a pouch attached to the holster.
-----------
Panzerfaust
-----------
Manual Information : The Panzerfaust (German for “Armored Fist”) is an anti-
tank weapon, launching a small charge designed to penetrate an armored tank or
vehicle. Due to the armor-piercing nature of the charge, it’s not an
effective anti-personnel device. Each Panzerfaust is only a single shot
weapon, but one shot is often enough to reduce even the largest tanks to
smoldering ruins within seconds.
Range : Short
Rate of Fire : One Shot
Damage : Very High
Mobility : Slow
Historical Information : Initially designated Faustpatrone gross or
Faustpatrone 2, this larger weapon quickly adopted the suggestive name
Panzerfaust ("Tank-Fist") and the weapons with the larger warheads were
henceforth commonly referred to under that name. The first direct successor
model to the Fautpatrone klein was the Panzerfaust 30 m, developed to iron out
the problems encountered during early trials with the Faustpatrone klein,
providing for sights - fixed at 30m (100 ft.) range - and a change in the
warhead's shape. Dr. Langweiler’s team also developed the Panzerfaust 30.
As the next step in development it therefore increased the warhead diameter to
14cm (5.5 in.), which increased the contact area to a 5cm-diameter (1.97 in.).
The charge's amount of explosives was doubled (800g - 28.2oz.) which in turn
increased penetration to 200mm (7.87 in.).
Because of the greatly increased overall size of the warhead the stabilizing
fins accordingly were considerably enlarged too.
The new tube had a diameter of 4.4cm (1.73 in.), the propellant now weighed
95g (3.35 oz.); the projectile now measured 49.5cm (19.49 in.) and weighed
2.9kg (6.39 lb). The resulting projectile velocity was 30m/s (100 fps), which
again made for a range of roughly 30m (100 ft.). The complete weapon now
weighed 5,1 kg (11.23 lb) and had a length of 104.5cm (41.14 in.) (other
sources: 103cm). Panzerfausts were supplied and transported in wooden crates
that contained four complete weapons.
Deliveries on the first order of 50,000 began in August 1943 with 6,800
pieces. Production ran until August 1944, and then it was switched over to
successor, the Panzerfaust 60. The first large quantity of this weapon made
available to the Wehrmacht, the German armed forces, was the delivery of 8700
pieces in September 1943.
---------------
Stielhangranate
---------------
Manual Information : Fragmentation grenades are very effective anti-personnel
devices. The highly explosive charges reduce their metal casing to flying
fragments, causing considerable blast damage. Though they’re ineffective
against armored vehicles, they are extremely useful for clearing out
entrenched infantry positions.
Range : Medium
Rate of Fire : Medium
Damage : Very High
Mobility : Very Fast
Historical Information : Hand grenades are often used against tanks, usually
not due to any special AT capability of these weapons but because of their
availability. Although a regular hand grenade could not kill a healthy full-
grown tank it might damage it esp. immobilize it with a lucky explosion in the
track. But there were also special AT hand grenades dedicated to fight armor.
The most famous German hand grenade is probably the Stielhandgranate 24
("stick hand grenade"), often referred to as the stick grenade or the potato
masher by allied soldiers. The grenade's time fuse was activated by unscrewing
the bottom and pulling the Abreisszünder ("rip detonator") safety cord. It
weighed 480g, had an overall length of 35.6cm and had a warhead with a length
of 7.5 cm and a diameter of 6cm that contained 165g of explosives (different
explosives were used over the course of the war).
The cylindrical warhead was also available as a hand grenade without the stick
under the designation Handgranate 43. This cylindrical warhead could be used
for other purposes: combined with a pressure-activated trigger they served as
mines.
Several Handgranate 43 warheads could also be combined with a Stielhandgranate
to make a large explosive grenade bundle. This combination of one
Stielhandgranate 24 with 6 of the same warheads without the stick was very
popular and often referred to as the "Geballte Ladung" ("forceful/big charge")
by the troops although this designation is rather colloquial and was actually
semi-officially in use for an engineer weapon. The complete weapon combination
looked like a flower with the grenade stick of the central Stielhandgranate as
the stalk and the Hd.Gr.43 warheads surrounding it like petals. It was often
used as an improvised makeshift AT weapon.
To increase the shrapnel effect (the hand grenades had a very thin metal skin
and were intended to rely on blast rather than fragmentation) later the
Splitterringe ("shrapnel rings") could be attached to the cylindrical warhead;
use of these shrapnel rings was copied from the Russians who used this method
for their RGD 33 hand grenades.
Of both the Stielhandgranate 42 and the Handgranate 43 together, a total of 81
Mio. were produced before and during the war.

5.3 Tactics
==============================================================================
------------
Taking Cover
------------
This is probably one of the most obvious yet important tips I will give you.
Believe me this game will not allow you to take a lot of damage at all. So you
must utilize all cover that you can. The enemy will never hesitate to shoot
at you, their weapons are just as accurate and deadly as yours. Don't think
that the game will allow you some leeway in this respect, it doesn't.
-----------------
Reloading Weapons
-----------------
Must I tell you this? You must reload your weapons after you have expended
most of the clip. If you go into a battle with only five bullets in your
clip (assuming you have a submachine gun or machine gun) then you are royally
screwed unless your teammates provide some excellent covering fire for you.
Always reload before rounding a corner or after a firefight, this will
definitely save you a few game over screens.
------------
Health Packs
------------
I'm not going to tell you to use them, I think it is pretty standard knowledge
for any game that you play. These gifts are dropped frequently by enemies and
are plentifully scattered throughout the level. Never hesitate to grab one.
-------
Leaning
-------
Like some other games this game allows you to lean out past a corner or
around one to see if there are enemies. However this feature was only
available in multiplayer mode, you can use this whenever you are in the game,
whether it be single or multiplayer. The main advantage to this is that you
will be exposing a minimal amount of yourself to the enemy while you can still
shoot at them. Try to use this in urban battles.
------------------
Crawling/Crouching
------------------
Never stand up straight on the battlefield, you are almost asking to be shot
when you do this. Always crouch or crawl, this will allow you the same amount
of mobility that you enjoyed while standing while at the same time making you
much less of a target.
--------------------------------------
Picking up items and switching weapons
--------------------------------------
Whenever you approach an item or weapon you can press the F key to pick it up
or if it is a weapon then you can switch it with the one in your hand. You
will automatically drop the weapon you are holding and then pick up the one on
the ground.
------------------
Dealing with tanks
------------------
You will find in this demo that tanks are quite a nuisance to take care of.
You cannot harm them at all with grenades or bullets, instead you must pick
up some sort of rocket launcher to fire at it. The game will almost always
tell you where to pick one up so there is no need to worry about not being
able to find one. Once you have it one direct hit on the tank will destroy
it.
-----------------------------
Dealing with cowardly enemies
-----------------------------
Sometimes you will encounter enemies that will almost never reveal a large
enough portion of themselves to shoot at or never come out of cover at all.
This is immensely frustrating, but don't waste 5 clips shooting at the corner
they are hiding behind you will not be able to shoot them. Instead just whip
out a trusty grenade and toss it by the corner they are hiding by, this will
either flush them out for you to shoot or kill them when it explodes, either
way you win.
------------
Melee Attack
------------
When you find yourself in very close proximity to other enemies you may find
it prudent to use the Melee Attack. Using the SHIFT key you can use your
rifle to butt an enemy in the face. This will either knock them out or knock
them off balance so that they cannot shoot at you until they recover from the
blow.
-------------
Bunny Hopping
-------------
Despite how much I despise bunny hoppers I will throw this in here because it
IS a somewhat effective tactic. I must warn you however that this can only
be used in Single Player mode because due to new patches for Call of Duty it
has been eliminated for Multiplayer.
Basically bunny hopping involves repeatedly jumping around like a jackass to
throw off your enemies' aim. Unfortunately this also screws up your aim so
make sure you either have good hopping skills or are proficient with your
weapons. This comes in handy on the harder levels of Call of Duty.
-------
Sniping
-------
Sniping effectively is not at all easy.
---------
Stairways
---------
These places are one of the best to trap an enemy. You can usually camp in
------------------
Stationary Weapons
------------------
There are a select few stationary weapons in Call of Duty. They can be either
MG42s or Flak Guns. The latter of which only appears twice in the game. To
use these just press the use key, "F". You will then have whichever weapon
you have equipped replaced with the weapon you just selected. Use them as you
would expect to, aim the crosshair and click.
******************************************************************************
Tactics submitted by Cy <cybertooth85@yahoo.com>
- Let your squad do the majority of work. These guys are active fighters, and
can usually cover you quite well, not to mention mow down lines of soldiers
rather than wait for you to do it. All you have to do is shoot the supressing
MG42s and snipers to help.
- During mortar attacks, use the oft remembered superstition/rule-of-thumb
that bombs never fall in the exact same place. If you're running through a
field, take the route between defense objects (trees, cows, buildings) and
craters. These are pretty safe. Also, the deep craters are great cover. Move
cautiously, as your advancement usually triggers the next wave of bombardment.
- If you're too far from a target for an accurate shot with your carbine or
Thompson (and don't want to risk advancing), waste your handgun ammunition
trying to take out the gunner or sniper first, then try other strategies.
- Utilize the weak range of motion of MG42s to attack them. With help from
your squad's suppressing fire (and the gunners inept, slow panning), you can
almost always circle around a gunner and attack them from an extreme angle
they can't reach (I'm talking face-to-face shooting here).
- If you're doing badly on a particular part, try restarting the level to
explore the earlier parts you can beat. These can have helpful drops such as
health or grenades. Also, try rethinking your strategy. If a particular
approach isn't working, try another. If you know there is a programmed
sequence such as a tank or explosion coming, try moving opposite your squad,
as they often let the attack (and programming) lead them.
- In certain levels, (such as Burnville) you're more likely to find enemy
ammunition around than your own. This is why it is best to trade out certain
weapons for others. My best example is the American Thompson for the German
MP. Many soldiers carry them, and they are very easy to use single shots with,
and despite others' claims, can be quite accurate if used properly. These are
good for convservation of ammunition.

5.4 Multiplayer
==============================================================================
Call of Duty allows you to clash head-on with other humans online. All you
need is a copy of the game, a valid CD Key, and a Broadband internet
connection.
When you first get online you can join a game by clicking on "Join Game" on
Multiplayer menu or by clicking on "Multiplayer" on the Single Player menu.
Once in there you can choose any of the following choices.
-----------

==========================
== Selecting a Server ==
==========================
Once you have chosen the "Join a Game" option you will see the main server
listing. This is where you will choose which game to join. You may change
which type of server (LAN or Internet) you want to search for. If you do
then click on the "Source" button and change it to the type you want. On the
Server List you will see the type of game the server is hosting, the map, the
number of players in the game, the maximum number of players allowed, and the
ping. The ping is what you should decide your server on. Even if one server
is hosting your favorite MP map, if it has a high ping then you will find the
game very unenjoyable due to large amounts of lag. It is generally better to
go with the servers with a low ping, as they will be faster than the others.
----------------------
Connecting to a Server
----------------------
Once you have found a server that you want to join then you can click the
"Join Server" button. The game will connect you to the server and you can
begin playing in it as soon as the game type will allow. If the server is
full then you will get a message saying so and you will need to find another.
----------------
Favorite Servers
----------------
If you find while playing on a particular server that you enjoy it more than
others, you can add it to your favorites list on the Server Listing. To view
your favorites, just click on the "Source" button and selecting "Favorites".
---------
Passwords
---------
You may find some servers that require passwords to access. If you happen to
be invited to that server then you can simply enter in the password by
clicking the "Password" button on bottom of the screen. If your password is
right then you will proceed to play in the server, if not then you can either
try again or go back to the Server Listing.
==============================
== Multiplayer Game Types ==
==============================
------------------
Behind Enemy Lines
------------------
A small group of Allied soldiers try to fend off a force of Axis soldiers. The
Allies try to stay alive and kill as many of the Axis soldiers as possible
while the Axis soldiers try to kill the Allied soldiers. An Axis soldier who
kills an Allied soldier will respawn as an Allied soldier to score more
points.
---------
Retrieval
---------
Team-based, in this mode you will have a set amount of time to either defend
or retrieve a set of documents. The attacking team must infiltrate deep into
the enemy base and find the documents and return them while the defending team
must stop them. If the time runs out with the documents unretrieved then the
defending team wins. If the attacking team retrieves the documents then they
win. Any team that eliminates all opposing players before the end of the
match will automatically win.
------------------
Search and Destroy
------------------
This is a time-based and team-based match. One team must destroy a number of
objectives in the map before the time runs out. The attacking team gains
points for destroying objectives and the defending team gains points for
keeping them intact for the duration of the match. Either team can win
automatically by killing all members of the opposing team.
----------
Deathmatch
----------
Free-for-all. That basically sums it up. You have no teammates, no allies,
just you and your weapon. A player gets points for a kill and the game
continues until one player hits the point cap (which is set by the
administrator) or time runs out. The player with the most points when the
game ends in the victor.
---------------
Team Deathmatch
---------------
This is like Deathmatch mode except that the players in the game are split
into two teams. Points are still awarded for kills but they are now awarded
to the teams not the individual players. The match will end when either the
time limit is reached or one of the teams reaches the point limit.
=========================
== Creating a Server ==
=========================
When you create a server in multiplayer you will have quite a few options to
customize your server.
--------

it says "Target" and add the following onto the end of the existing link:
+set thereisacow 1337 +set developer 1 +set sv_cheats 1 +set monkeytoy 0
So the link should now say something like:
"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDSP.exe" +set thereisacow 1337 +set
developer 1 +set sv_cheats 1 +set monkeytoy 0
In the game press the "~" button to bring down the console, then enter the

5.6 Experience Call of Duty
==============================================================================
This section just has somethings that you can do to make your playing
experience all that much better.
----------
Headphones
----------
A good set of headphones will let you crank up the volume without disturbing
the peace in your town. Make sure that they are the big ones, like you see
in recording studios, because those have the best sound and you can hear
bullets whizzing by your head, footsteps of approaching enemies, and it helps
to immerse you in the action. Perhaps the only drawback is that if somebody
needs to get your attention while you have these things on they will have to
come up and shake you. But of course that usually isn't a problem... at
least for you.
Projected Cost : $35
---------
Subwoofer
---------
If you can get your hands on one of these things then make sure you put it to
good use by shaking the walls of your house with every gunshot and grenade.
With one of these you get better weapon sounds but the main attraction for me
is the fact that I can literally rock my world while I'm playing.
Projected Cost : $40 (maybe more if you want a really good one)
---------
Teamspeak
---------
This is really only useful for clans or people who play with their buddies
online a lot. This is basically a program that will allow you to speak to
your teammates while playing online. The sound is clear and it doesn't take
up a huge amount of ping while you are playing. You will need a microphone
for this to work.
www.teamspeak.org
Projected Cost : $0 (TeamSpeak is free, unless of course you don't have a
microphone)
-----
Xfire
-----
This is an instant messaging program that was designed for and by gamers. It
works just like AOL but it has special features that let you see what servers
your friends are playing on and you just have to click a button to join them.
It is somewhat low-tech but it gets the job done great. A must for clans.
www.xfire.com
Projected Cost : $0
--------------
Wireless Mouse
--------------
I personally don't have one of these but I hear that they are great because
they don't restrict you to where you can go on your mouse pad. No wires or
anything to get tangles in. The only problem is that they have to be either
recharged or have their batteries replaced every so often. Going with an
optical mouse is almost as good.
Projected Cost : $30

This guide is especially helpful for all CoD noobs.
Since this game has a lot of different levels and weapons, I’ll review them
all and talk strategies about each one. There is also a hints section and a
section on how to do certain things. Like how to defuse bombs.
===================
== Legal Stuff ==
===================
Please don’t pick apart this thing and post it on your site. I will probably
allow you to put the whole thing on your site as long as it is clean. I wrote
this thing, and I will only allow Don Fleming to make it part of his FAQ
because he has been very patient with me. Just email me with any questions and
don’t swear in emails, I wont write back if you do. Marlfox4BJD@msn.com I
play on CoD as *RR*Gen.MaRlFoX but my clan name changes once in a long while.
Copyright 2004 Brendon DeMeo.
=======================
== Getting Started ==
=======================
The first thing you want to do when you get on, is change your name. You just
click multiplayer options and there you can type in whatever you want for your
name. Beware though, many of the good servers WILL NOT TOLERATE FILTHY NAMES
OR SWEARS. You can also make your name different colors. You type a ^ then a
number. For example ^1 makes red, and ^4 makes blue. After you’ve chosen your
name and preferences, join a game! Just click join game then refresh the list.
You can pick any of those servers except the ones with the little lock near
the name. Those ones are password protected. Many servers will kick you if
your ping is to high so if your kicked just find another. I have a quick DS
modem and even I cant get on some servers. When you get into a game, just
pick your team and weapon, and start playing. Sometimes you will have to wait
until the next round if it is a SD (Search and Destroy) or RE (Retrieval)
level.
===============
== Weapons ==
===============
You can read the Call of Duty instruction manual for info on all the weapons.
You can also see weapon statistics while choosing a weapon when you get on a
server. So I’ll just talk strategy of each weapon. I wont get into how much
bullets a gun holds per clip most of the time, or weapon stats.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Pistols -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
--------------------------------------
Colt .45 (American and British pistol)
--------------------------------------
[See Luger]
---------------------------------
Luger (German and Russian pistol)
---------------------------------
Since these two pistols are the same in CoD, besides the way they look and
sound, I will just write strategies for both at the same time. You use the
pistol when you’re out of ammo or have a rifle. Especially a sniper rifle.
When someone is close, don’t bother trying to snipe them. It’s simply to hard.
So just pull out your pistol and aim for the head. You get about 7 shots
before you need to reload and if you can make about 2 or 3 to the head the
guy will die. You can also use a pistol if you have an easy kill, like when
you’re playing against a guy who has no skill and you don’t want to waste
precious ammo on him. I even use pistols for suppressing fire sometimes.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Sub Machine Guns (SMG’s) -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
--------------------
Thompson (Tommy Gun)
--------------------
American SMG. This gun is one of the best close range guns in the game, and
the worst long range gun according to many people, but not me, I can get long
rang kills with it. Use it in close range combat levels like Carentan or use
it if your going to charge in for something, like documents retrieval levels.
Sometimes I use it for suppressing fire. If you must use this gun in a long
range situation fire it in short bursts, but I suggest just running away or
getting closer at all costs.
----
PPSh
----
Russian SMG. This gun has an awesome 71 bullets per clip! But the bullets are
pretty weak. I think this is the most used Allied weapon in CoD and it has
even gotten its own motto, “Spray and pray”. Use it in close range combat and
if you have to use it long range press the M key to make it semi automatic.
I always use this gun for suppressing fire, and whenever I do the Pavlov MP
level.
----
Sten
----
British SMG. This weapon is very light and allows you to run quickly. You can
use at close range and medium range but I always get close before I fire it.
To me it feels a bit inaccurate. Use it any level except the snow ones. They
are always long range combat levels. Don’t use this gun as suppressing fire
because it doesn’t pack enough punch for that job and it fires to quick so
you need to reload too often.
----
MP40
----
German SMG. This gun feels very accurate to me and I use it to counter the
PPSh in Russian levels. It is like the Sten though so it isn’t that great for
suppressing fire situations. The biggest problem with this gun is that you
need to get close and make your first clip count. Because it fires quick and
you will die during reloading. I do not suggest using this long range at all.
Just get close to the enemy or run away. Don’t bother firing in short bursts.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Assault Rifles and Machine Guns -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
------------------------------
Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)
------------------------------
American AR. This is more of a MG to me, it can go full auto or slow auto. It
makes you run extremely slow but its personality disorder makes up for it
(hehe). This is an ideal campers weapon. You can keep it full auto and hide
in bushes then just mow down all the enemies who cross your path, or keep it
slow auto and try for a long range kill. For long range, aim for the head, it
will only take one shot to kill, but at short range aim for the knees because
this gun has the worst recoil of all the guns in the game. I usually use this
weapon for support for the main assault, I hide in a window or behind a wall
and just wait for it to begin. You can usually get about 2 or 3 kills by using
it as I usually do, but most of the time someone else already is the support
man and you have to just pick something else.
-------------------------------------------------
MP44 (Known on many other WW2 games as the STG44)
-------------------------------------------------
German AR. This gun is my second favorite in the game, it wasn’t too useful on
single player CoD, but on multiplayer it is the best automatic weapon. It is
very accurate for an automatic, and can be used as a rifle. Just hit M to make
it semi automatic. It’s so accurate that it doesn’t make a great suppressing
fire weapon, but that doesn’t matter. If you need to use it as a suppressing
fire gun, then fire it as you wiggle your mouse a little bit. Also, it only
takes about 11 bullets on average to kill someone on a 30 bullet clip, so
don’t worry about reloading too much. The most effective way to use this gun
is at close range because the smaller automatics (like the Sten and the
Thompson) are not as strong and are easily over powered.
----
FG42
----
German AR (This weapon is not a selectable one, so you have to find one in
certain levels in certain places.). This gun is by far the best in the game,
it’s an AR with a sniper scope and can fire semi auto or full auto. It also
does a lot of damage. Use it anyway you would like too, it can be anything you
want it to be. I always use it as a MG, and I use the scope as binoculars to
see downrange. Pick this gun up whenever you find it, it’s better than all
the others. There isn’t much special strategy you can do with this weapon,
besides the way I always use it. The only minor problem with this gun is that
it only has 20 bullets per clip, so reload while you’re under cover from enemy
fire.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Rifles -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
------------
M1A1 Carbine
------------
American rifle. I hardly ever use this weapon. The Garand is much better even
though it cannot reload in the middle of a clip like this gun can. Some people
especially beginners, use this weapon all the time. It’s a good gun to
practice with and sometimes in some situations it is better than the Garand.
It holds 15 bullets per clip plus is very silent. In retrieval levels this gun
is great. But still, I rather use the Garand which inflicts more damage and
have the enemy find me than use the Carbine. I like having the enemy come to
me like mice to cheese.
---------
M1 Garand
---------
American rifle. This gun is my favorite, I use it almost every time I’m on the
American team. It is very powerful and fires semi auto. I can use it like a
sniper by just aiming down site, or almost as an AR close range. Just press
the right mouse button quickly. The major problem with this gun is that it
cannot reload in the middle of a clip so you’ll have to fire off the whole
clip if you want to reload. It does make a lot of noise, but the damage it
does and the fact that it is semi automatic makes up for it. There isn’t much
strategy to using this weapon, you just use it any way you’d like. Wiggle the
mouse a bit while using it for suppressing fire.
------------
Mosin Nagant
------------
Russian rifle. It does good damage and is pretty light. Aim for the upper body
because anywhere around the head or chest will kill in one shot. Since it has
a low rate of fire it kind of forces you to aim for the head anyway. You
really cannot use it for suppressing fire in any way, and you’ll find yourself
using your Luger a lot while using this gun. I’d only use this gun in Pavlov,
or Harbor. And I always pick the scoped version which I’ll talk about a bit
more in the sniper rifles section.
-----------
Lee-Enfield
-----------
British rifle. This thing is almost exactly like the Mosin Nagant, so just
look above at the Mosin Nagant section and use the same strategies with this
weapon. The only differences between the two are that this gun cant get very
long range kills that well and it has greater mobility, which allows you to
move quicker. You will find yourself using your Colt 45. a lot if you pick
this gun. I’d also like to say that, in my humble opinion, the British have
the worst weapons in the game, and the Americans have the best. I just wanted
to clear that up incase anyone out there is wondering what I think.
------
Kar98k
------
German rifle. This gun is extremely powerful and kills with one well placed
shot to the upper body. No exceptions. It only holds 5 bullets per clip and
has a pretty slow rate of fire. Try for long and medium range kills. Use your
pistol for all the enemies who are close. I usually pick the scoped version of
this gun, just as I usually picked the scoped Mosin Nagant over the regular
Mosin Nagant.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Sniper rifles -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
------------------------------------------------
Springfield (American and British sniper rifle)
------------------------------------------------
[See Scoped Mosin Nagant]
------------------------------------
Scoped Kar98k (German sniper rifle)
------------------------------------
[See Scoped Mosin Nagant]
------------------------------------------
Scoped Mosin Nagant (Russian sniper rifle)
------------------------------------------
Since these sniper rifles are all the same, except in terms of bullets per
clip, I’ll do strategy for all three at the same time. When I pick a sniper
rifle I ALWAYS stay back and find a good high camping spot, that is well
hidden and has decent cover. Usually a window will have to do. Sniper rifles
kill in one shot when not used at close range, so just try to hit the enemy
anyway you can. Sometimes it is easier to shoot without aiming with your
scope. It’s ridiculous to even think of using a sniper rifle for suppressing
fire, and ALWAYS pull out your pistol when an enemy comes in close. There are
many, many strategies to using a sniper rifle, and you can discover a new one
almost every time you play with one.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Grenades -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-------------------------------------------
M2 Fragmentation Grenade (American grenade)
-------------------------------------------
[See Stielhangranate]
--------------------------------------
RGD-33 Stick Grenade (Russian grenade)
--------------------------------------
[See Stielhangranate]
-------------------------------------------
MK1 Fragmentation Grenade (British grenade)
-------------------------------------------
[See Stielhangranate]
--------------------------------
Stielhangranate (German grenade)
--------------------------------
Since the CoD instruction manual says the grenades are all the same, I’ll do
the same thing as I did with the pistols and sniper rifles. Use these things
often, they are very useful. Throw them into enemy infested rooms or windows
with hard to kill snipers or campers. You can also just launch them towards
enemy spawn points for easy (and dishonorable) kills. Make sure you run away
from the grenade after you throw it so you don’t blow your own head off.
Sometimes you can throw them behind an enemy so they can’t run away while you
shoot them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Explosives -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Regular explosives, like the ones you plant on objectives, are very powerful
and have a wide blast radius. So get back after about 15 seconds so you wont
get killed while the blow up. Guard them after they are planted, because if
the enemy diffuses them, you lose. You press and hold F to plant them, and
press and hold F while close to them to diffuse them.
-----------
Panzerfaust
-----------
German bazooka. Panzerfaust is German for “armored fist” and is one of the
best weapons for beginners. Pick one up at the beginning of a round, and shoot
them at long and medium range enemies. Short range shots will kill you and you
will be minus one kill. You only get ONE shot with this thing so MAKE IT
COUNT. This weapon cannot destroy objectives in multiplayer.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Large machine guns -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are many of these things throughout multiplayer levels. You can find
them in windows or behind sandbags. They are unmovable with the exception of
the British Bren (Hey, Bren is my nickname lol, as my first name is Brendon).
They are strong and are good for mowing down enemies crossing fields or open
areas. They are perfect for suppressing fire because they cannot run out of
bullets (The Bren can run out of bullets though).
----
Bren
----
British machine gun. I hate this weapon because you run as slow as molasses in
a cold tin can. Aim for the feet because of the recoil. It is pretty strong
and can be used while prone to hold areas. Fire it into bushes and sometimes
you will get a kill. Whenever I use this gun I go prone.
==================
== Game Types ==
==================
Game types: There are 5 game types on CoD, Search and Destroy (SD), Retrieval
(RE), Behind Enemy Lines (BEL), Death Match (DM), and Team Death Match (TDM).
I will talk about each one.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Behind Enemy Lines -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This one... well... sucks. There are about 5 BEL servers running out of 2000.
BEL is like a tag match. I’ve only played like 1 BEL match in my life because
it’s so….pointless. To explain how it works, lets say you start off German.
Then you kill an American, so you get to be American. You get to go around
killing Nazis until you finally die, then you become German again… And on it
goes, over and over and over. No one wins. There is no strategy to a virtual
game of tag.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Death Match -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This one is pretty good for practicing. You just pick a team and weapon and
go off on a renegade mission, killing everyone you see!!! Great for the
younger audience, like your little brother or sister who really only want to
kill “the bad guys”. Just have fun in this game type, don’t worry about dying,
you respawn as soon as you hit the F key. If you’re serious about this thing
(if so, you may need psychiatric help) then just stay under cover and reload
whenever you’re safe. This is the fun game type, its for just messing around.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Team Death Match -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This one is much more serious. It’s the most popular game type and clan
servers play them a lot while recruiting. One thing you should NEVER do is
kill your own teammate, it is annoying and very rude. If you accidentally kill
your own man, then say sorry immediately. It is so annoying, that most servers
have turned on reflective damage, which makes the damage you do to your
teammates, happen to you.
Now for strategies... First of all, pick the weapon your best with, if I’m
German that means I will pick the MP44, but for you it might be different.
Don’t pick a weapon that everyone else seems to be using. Stay under cover and
work as a group, never split up. Sometimes its ok for 1 man to leave the group
for scouting purposes, or for being bait. Don’t stay too close together though
or you will all die when a grenade is thrown at you. The most effective team,
is the team that works together, and evenly distributes the weapons. That
means on a 10 man team, 3 snipers, 2 sub machine gunners, 2 support
infantrymen, 3 riflemen, or at least something like that. In order to win a
TDM, your team must have more points than the enemy. Points are total kills
minus total deaths. 98 kills and 50 deaths is 48 points. Some people modify
this so that it is just total kills wins, but I don’t know how they do that.
So even though you respawn instantly, try to stay alive. Reload under cover
and don’t always take the easy way into enemy territory. For example, don’t
run into the German house in the Pavlov level while being Russian through the
trench all the time. Take other routes often. Sometimes the enemy has a weak
point, and once you find it keep pressing through that point, until they
finally block it off. Other times the enemy is strong due to team stacking
(which is when there are more players on one team than the other, and players
wont switch), in which case let the enemy come to you, then ambush them. In
ambushes automatic weapons are always the best if you’re the defense, like a
BAR or PPSh. But if your offense then use a sniper and pick off the enemy
until there isn’t enough troops in their area to carry out their ambush.
Most of these strategies will apply to other game types so please do not think
that I’m short changing them. In fact I like SD and RE the best, so many of
the strategies for them are already written in this section, like the ambush
tactics.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Search and Destroy -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In these games you have to blow up enemy objectives, such as tanks, artillery
(the artillery in this game are not able to fire) etc, or defend them.
--------------------
While on the offense
--------------------
Don’t go ahead and plant the bomb, if they diffuse it you lose. Rather, kill
most of the enemy until it’s hard to find them, then plant the bomb and wait
until they come to diffuse it. Stay away from the bomb if you like your kills,
because one will be taken off if you’re too close while it explodes. They will
kill you. I don’t know exactly how long it takes for the bombs to go off,
because I don’t pay attention to that most of the time, I’m more concerned
with doing my part in working for the victory. I think it is something like 1
minute. Someone has to be the hero, and a lot of times you will get the chance
if you’re good at staying out of enemy fire. When you’re the last person left
on your team, I’d make sure 3/4 of the enemy team is dead before I plant my
explosives, then hide somewhere not even close to them and check on them every
10 seconds. Don’t hide someplace obvious where you can see the explosives,
like behind them or in a door near them. So many people do this and it only
works on people who have never really played the game!!! Do what I said and
hide away from the explosives. It is my best secret strategy and most players
don’t seem to know it. I’ve met clan generals and everything who don’t know
this.
----------------
While on defense
----------------
Don’t camp around the objectives, the enemy expects that. Check on them every
once and a while and if a bomb is planted search for the culprit immediately.
If a bomb is planted while there are many enemy soldiers still alive, then
diffusing the bomb is a quick and easy way to victory. Have a few men guard
you while you diffuse the bomb, or guard them as they do it. It is a good idea\
to do an enemy spawn point check, for enemies who stayed behind, and try to
flank them from their own spawn point. If you’re going to do the flank then
carry out your plan quickly before the enemy soldiers are dispersed throughout
the level. The best defensive weapons are heavy automatics, like the MP44 or
Bren, and sniper rifles. I like being a scout sometimes and I use a light
weapon, such as a Sten or Carbine so I run quicker through enemy territory. It
is not always best to kill the enemy before he plants his explosives, let him
plant them then kill him, then diffuse the explosives for the win.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Retrieval -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In these games you have to steal documents, plans, radios, etc and take them
to a certain point, or defend them. The strategies for these games are very
similar to SD games, so I will only talk briefly about things in this section.
----------------
While on offense
----------------
Try to rush for the objectives as quick as possible and then run back to the
place where you put them to win. Use a light weapon like an SMG or light rifle
such as the Garand or Lee-Enfield. Throw grenades at rooms with objectives in
them to clear out any enemy campers. Sometimes it is a good idea to be
stealthy though, and not kill anyone unless you really need to. When you steal
an objective all enemies will be alerted however, so be quick and run to
“home plate”.
----------------
While on defense
----------------
Check on the objectives often, and use a heavy weapon. Don’t let the enemy
flank you and work as a team. No one man can guard every objective, if there
is more than one, so do your part and worry about your job. It is a good idea
to guard the enemy base so that the enemies with the objectives cannot enter
it. Sniper rifles are very effective, so if there are not many snipers on your
team, pick one and you should get a few kills.
================
== Levels ==
================
Levels : There are 12 levels in Call of Duty. I will talk about each one but
I will not include maps on them. You can find maps for any level by
going on a server and clicking on the level map in the options menu.
If playing HQ then refer to the HQ section on strategy for it, the
maps section shall not include much strategy for it because there
isn’t much to explain for it. It is always the same no matter which
level you play.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- American Maps -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
These are my favorite maps, because I love the American weapons!
--------
Brecourt
--------
This level is fun, it is like an oval with a wall in the middle, but there is
a few tunnels going through the wall. The landscape here is lush and green,
with an old fashioned European farm look. There are a few barns and stables
around near where the Americans spawn. Hide in the many bushes in this level,
or behind sheds for cover. Enemies can shoot you through bushes though so keep
that in mind, and only use them to hide in.
Make sure you guard the tunnels, because if you do your team will surely do
well, even if out numbered. In any game type guard the tunnels at all cost.
The Axis should especially guard the tunnels for SD and RE maps because
usually the Americans must go through them to reach their objective. There is
one turret in this level that can be useful so go for it or guard it if you
can. Take out the turret gunner or clear out tunnels with grenades. Make sure
your buddies aren’t around where you throw your grenades though!!!! Sniper
rifles are pretty effective here.
--------
Carentan
--------
This level is my favorite!!! I always look for this level while choosing a
server to join because it is so much fun and is very detailed! This level is
very complex so if you’re first playing it refer to the map for direction. Use
a good automatic weapon, like the MP44 or Tommy Gun, snipers and rifles are
not too effective here. Throw grenades at enemy lookouts, like windows and
sandbag-turret emplacements. The best place to be in this map is in the house
with the turret in the window, because after you kill all your enemies outside
the window you can jump out of it onto the roof and proceed to the next house
where you may clear it out.
I always try to flank the enemy in this level, you can get many kills that
way. If you are bogged down at your spawn point by enemies, throw grenades at
them and just try to get out of the mess and hit them from behind.
---------
Dawnville
---------
This is another great level. It has a lot of hiding spots. Dawnville is a
camper’s heaven but don’t get me wrong, this level is still great. For every
camping spot there is a way to take it out. The most strategic place in the
level is the church, because it is in the middle of the level and has a turret
in one of the windows. Another good place to hold is a house down the road
west of the church.
In HQ always flank the enemy headquarters no matter what. Even if they are
ready for a flank, just flank them, they usually will not hold for long. The
best guns for this place are automatics, the Tommy is the best and the MP44
is good to. When using the Tommy Gun just charge the enemy, if your close
enough and they don’t have a Tommy to repel you with you should win.
-------
Hurtgen
-------
Most people hate this place, but I don’t. It can be fun in HQ matches. Almost
everyone here uses a sniper or a rifle so make sure you choose one too. The
MP44 is the best gun for this place because it can function as a rifle or
automatic, as you must already know by now.
Here comes a huge tip: WHEN AMERICAN, ALWAYS TAKE THE EASTERN FLANK (run to
the right from your spawn point) AND THEN CHARGE THE GERMANS!!! ALWAYS!!!
Even if there are German snipers here you can over power them because this is
a giant weak spot!!! Many people just hate this level because while you’re
American the level seems too hard, but it isn’t if you’re smart. Only a few
people should flank to the west (left) from the American spawn point to throw
the Germans off.
If you’re German then do not under estimate the power of your turrets. Use
them wisely they can be very useful against players who are less experienced.
You will meet less experienced players on public servers, and if you haven’t
played CoD online much before or at all, then I suggest you play on one.
--------
Nueville
--------
Great new map, you?re in a war torn town that looks like a big battle has
been going on. This map is well balanced and I think it is one of the most
fun levels in multiplayer mode. As a German you will want to rush to the
turret up in one of the buildings to the right of your spawn point so that
you may mow down those stinking Amis! You should also defend, even on TDM
rounds, let the Americans come to you. You can get a lot of kills this way. As
an American you should rush the Krauts right off the bat and flank to the
right side. I like to flank then do a complete circle around the map to kill
any Germans running around. You should also take out about 2/3 the German
team before you plant a bomb in SD mode.
Stalingrad and Bocage will come eventually. Brendon has to play them more
and figure out some strats for them.

=- British Maps -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
These maps are my least favorite, but even my least favorite is great in this
game (with the exception of BEL matches and the level Ship).
----
Ship
----
Worst map in the game, it’s to confusing to find your way around and you fall
off ledges often (lol). It takes a while to find an enemy to kill on a 30 man
server. Try to get up high like in the crow’s nest or camp on the low deck.
Rifles are pretty effective here, but in HQ matches I think using an automatic
is best, especially the Bren and MP44.
There’s not much room to maneuver here so don’t worry about tactics or
flanking or anything like that. When you have a radio in HQ matches find a
spot to camp and guard it. In RE matches try to take out most enemies before
stealing the plans, or if guarding them then throw grenades at the British
spawn point in the beginning of the match for a few “dirty” kills.
-----
Depot
-----
This is a fun map, I like going on the roofs and hiding in the rafters of the
buildings. Try to flank the enemy HQ or spawn point and in RE and SD matches
always take out at least half of the enemy before going for the objective. Use
any weapon you’d like to here, but I suggest not using the Sten because it’s
weaker than all the German guns and most of the combat is medium range here.
Well sometimes in TDM matches the Sten is good or in a DM match.
Throw grenades at the cramped area of the enemy HQ in HQ games but make sure
none of your teammates are around it. Suppressing fire is important here, so
make sure you are near a safe reloading zone when taking on a suppressing fire
situation.
------
Rocket
------
Good sniper map. Always pick a sniper weapon in SD or RE matches, unless
you’re up for being different. Take cover from enemy snipers and I suggest
using the mini bunkers scattered around the map. Kill enemies before going for
the objective and keep your grenades in mind. You can’t really flank here,
because it is an open field map and this is WWII after all, so you will get
mowed down.
Use the turret on defense but if snipers discover you quickly get your head
down! Also while in the underground bunkers go slowly and hide, always
anticipate enemy campers behind doors, boxes, windows, etc. On defense you
can camp around objects in the underground bunker for some sneaky kills.
-------
Chateau
-------
I like the detail of this map, its cool looking inside the chateau. There’s a
bedroom with a giant nazi bed sheet (not that I like Nazis or anything, some
of the evilest people in history) that looks somewhat neat. At first when you
play this map you expect it to be a giant scary Nazi, Return to Castle
Wolfensten-like haunted mansion. But it isn’t (Yeah, I thought it’d be cool if
it was).
When being British just find a way inside, sometimes you can come through the
front door... on experienced players! Why? Because they don’t expect you to
act so dumb, so you just catch them with their pants down. I got my highest
kill total here, 97 kills 13 deaths in 35 minutes. It is best to play this
map on DM, TDM, or RE, playing it on any others doesn’t work quite well.
There’s not a ton of flanking in this level. Just go slowly in the chateau
and anticipate enemies around ever corner and behind every door!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=- Russian Maps -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
These maps are the best balanced, the Russian weaponry and German weaponry
match up well, (except for the fact that the Germans have the MP44, but hey,
the Russians get the ol’ PPSH). I like using rifles in these maps, you can
pick the PPSH’ers off from long and medium range and steal their weapon. The
MP40 is a good PPSH counter weapon, it shoots only 32 bullets per clip (The
PPSH shoots 71 bullets per clip) but it still allows you to run quickly and
is a bit more powerful.
------
Harbor
------
This level is a good clan match level, well balanced and well made. There’s
not a lot of detail here or any nice textures or graphics, but it is fun and
fairness that counts right?
While being German go up to the windows before the little bridge and pick off
all the Russians you can that are stupid enough to charge you. While being
Russian go around to the East and flank. If you are German it is a good idea
to watch the Eastern flank with a MP44 due to its stopping power.
Also, launch grenades towards the enemy spawn points for very easy DiRtY
kIlLz!!! Since this level is pretty linear and once you play it about once
there isn’t much to say about it, so I’ll move along.
--------
POW Camp
--------
Great night level with good hiding spots and camping areas! Throw grenades at
the enemy here, I like to use all my grenades before even using my main
weapon. This is THE grenade-throwing map. Climb up on one of the towers at
the beginning of the match to avoid the grenade warfare below, and to pick
off enemies.
When your in a tower, you can usually jump up and crouch under the edge, then
jump again onto a roof, this is a VERY effective tactic, I suggest you always
do this because it is dumb to just charge in blindly with your grenades in RE
and SD matches.
The POW Camp is a good HQ map (for all you server admins out there wondering
what maps and game types to choose) and you can flank from any side. (Note:
Incase you’re not into wars and stuff, a flank is when you hit the side of
the enemy lines, sometimes near the back is best.) Since it is dark in this
level hiding is easy even though many people just charge the enemy.
Use a PPSH or MP44 here, and try to carry a Panzerfaust if you can find one.
------
Pavlov
------
Pavlov is a great level, all weapons work well here. If you’re into outdoors
combat then use a rifle or sniper, indoors use an automatic (PPSH is best).
This map is not well suited for HQ mode, but all other modes are fun.
When you’re running around outside always glance at the windows for enemy
snipers, if you see one either kill him before he kills you, or hide. Indoors,
just run around and try to clear out the buildings. The team that always wins
this map is fairly balanced, half riflemen/snipers and half SMGers/MGers. The
riflemen and snipers should camp while the others help them out by killing
the enemy riflemen and snipers, by invading their “base” or building. Always
leave a few MGers behind for defensive purposes. This level reminds me of
Stalingrad from Medal of Honor Allied Assault Multiplayer.
--------
Railyard
--------
I also love this level, very well balanced and very fun. While Russian, flank
around to the right and go into the German building through a large hole in
the wall. Kill any Germans in here and proceed to the outdoors to kill any
left-behinds or AFK’s (Away From Keyboard idiots). Then run through the door
on the other end and come out of the place with the table and bottles on the
ground and into the tank garage. Here just finish of the Germans who are left,
then go back towards your spawn point by going through the door in the garage.
While in the building watch out for Germans, and clear it out (keep the
grenades on your mind, they are helpful for this). By now all the Germans
should be dead, if you lived through this whole process and did everything I
said, but sometimes a few escape your wrath. You have to do this quickly
before the Germans get behind you.
While German defend the large hole in the wall and some snipers should climb
up the shelf and go prone on a ledge above the large hole to the side to kill
any rushing Russians (I had to say it some time in this guide!). Also attack
the Russian spawn point and hit them from behind before they have a clue.
