You will step into the combat boots of Private Martin, a soldier in the 101st Airborne, Martin Company, 506th Regiment. You will follow him through only one battle (this is a demo) yet it will provide you with a sense of satisfaction that no other game will produce for you. This game was produced by the team that made the popular WWII FPS Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. I can safely say that this game is many times better than that game, so if you liked Medal of Honor then this game is definitley for you. This walkthrough will cover the demo called Dawnville. So if you are looking for a strategy guide for the other one then this isn't the place for you. Go to the Call of Duty site (http://www.callofduty.com/) to find places to download this demo and the other one (Burnville). *-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~ 4) Game Overview *-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~ 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 rightouesness, instinct, and sense of inner strength answered their country, and their fellow man's call... the Call of Duty. ______________________________________________________________________________ a.

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. ____________________ / German Weapons / ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ---- 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. Technical Data -------------- Length : 94cm Barrel length : 42cm Weight w/ empty magazine : 4.62kg Weight of loaded 30-round magazine : 920g Theoretical system rate of fire : 500 rounds/minute Practical ROF in full automatic mode : 100 rounds/minute Vo 685 m/s Ammunition : Kurzpatrone 7.92x33 ---------------------------- Kar98k (scoped and unscoped) ---------------------------- Manual Information : The Kar98k is the standard issue German infantry rifle. It’s accurate and deadly at long range, but suffers from a slow rate of fire due to it’s bolt-action mechanism. Range : Very long Rate of Fire : Slow Damage : Very High 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. ______________________________________________________________________________ c. Important Notes ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ * Here are soem important tips that apply to all gameplay, take them into consideration while playing. Who knows, I just may save your life... ------------ Taking Cover ------------ This is probably one of the most obvious yet important tips I will give you. Beleive me this game will not allow you to take alot 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 wiyth 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 gameover 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 paast 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 minmal amount of youself 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 aking to be shot when you do this. Always crouch or crwal, 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 pik 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 laucher 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 hinding by, this will either flush them out for you to shoot or kill them when it explodes, either way you win. ------------ Weapon modes ------------ Several weapons in the game can have their firing modes changed. The different modes are either semi-automatic or automatic and for automatic you can change the rate of fire too. To change the modes just press the M key and your character will change it. The weapons that can be changed are: the Thompson, the BAR, Mp40, and FG42. ---------------- Using melee mode ---------------- The main advantage of this mode is to conserve ammunition for times when it is necessary. When you see an enemy on the ground getting up just go up to him and whack him with the butt of your rifle, he will die and you will have saved some ammo. ----------------- Ammo conservation ----------------- There are many instances in the game when you can conserve ammo just by thinking a little bit. For example, when throwing grenades don't throw off a whole volley of them at the same spot. One will suffice if it is well aimed, if it not aimed well then you can adjust your aim based on where it landed and toss another one. Also, when you have just killed an enemy don't keep shooting to make sure he is dead, he_IS. If by chance he is not dead then all it takes is one or two more shots to kill him. No need to empty an entire clip into him again. Fire your automatic weapons in bursts. When you have long extended periods of firing the shots are very innacurate beyond a few feet and you will waste a lot of ammo with little to show for it. --------------------------------- Aiming down the barrel of the gun --------------------------------- Using this you can aim shots very accurately. Just click the Right Mouse Button (MOUSE2) and you will see a view looking down the barrel of the gun. You can snipe very accurately with this method and can do it with almost any weapon, the M1A1 Carbine or even an SMG like the Thompson, although it may be less effective than the rifle. -------- Teamwork -------- Call of Duty is VERY team based in gameplay. You must work with your squad to accomplish many things. Often times the person who tries to go Rambo-style or be the "Hero" will end up dead. So let your teammates do some work, they are not complete morons like in other WWII games that you may have played *cough*BF1942*cough*. Lay down suppressive fire for your squad members and always look out for them, except for the Captain, he never dies no matter what happens to him. ______________________________________________________________________________ d.

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 squadmates 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 curch 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. Appraoch 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 otherend 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 agme 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. ****************************************************************************** SUBMITTED BY: Michael Burns 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 leakers. 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 comission 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. The Captain and Sergeant will converse a little before the demo ends. ****************************************************************************** SUBMITTED BY: Aaron S These may apply to the full game, I don't know. I have also tested it out on the "Greenhorn" and "Hardened" difficulty levels with success on both counts. On Objective 1 ("Assemble with Captain Foley") If you look to the right wall of the tiny room as you come in the door you will see some weapons leaning against the wall. From left to right they are the: Thompson, M1 Garand, MP-40, and Kar98. I highly suggest grabbing the for Thompson ammo, and swapping your Carbine for the Garand. It's much more powerful, and has a little more ammo lying around since whenever a friendly rifleman dies, he drops one. I haven't seen any AI in this level carrying the Carbnines. Around Objective 2 or 3 I have found that throught the demo you can pick up FG-42's, I usually carry one of them, and an M1 Garand. I use the FG-42 as a sniper rifle, and a submachine gun, and the Garand as an all-purpose mid to long range. The first one is to the right of the hole in the wall where you enter the church to get the rockets to kill the first tank, so you can get it quite early in the game. Objective 6 "Destroy the second tank" When going through the small houses where the tank blows out the wall: If you run really fast, sometimes not even stopping to kill all of the guys in the houses, you can avoid wasting time with the shellshock thing. Also, after you get into the church, lean around the small wall and take out the Germans around the tank. If not sometimes they can run into the church and ambush you, or attack you while you're lining up your shot to take out the tank. On Objective 8 ("Locate and eliminate the enemy mortar positions") you suggest using the Scoped Kar98 which is leaning against the wall. However I have found that especially on the hardest difficulty levels the time spent pulling that
goddamn bolt back on the Kar each time is usually enough time to get you
shredded by the machine gun nests. I have found that if you crouch with your
back press agains the wall on the OPPOSITE side of the road from the broken
wall (not against the wall itse;f) and use the scope on the FG-42 you can take
out the nests. 

Also, the first mortar position is dirrectly ahead of you at this point. I
suggest taking it out because it will target your teammates who jumped over
the wall and are in the field, and they can help you eliminate the machine
gunners. 

Another tip for the mortars: The second position is behind the bombed-out barn
to your left. If you are careful you can easily ambush the two guys using the
mortars by crouching and walking behind them, and then opening fire with any
automatic.

I've also able, on a couple occasions, to take out both with one rifle shot.
Usually while standing and leaning around the corner, and firing with the MI
through them both. However it's rather hard to do. 

Other wierd pointless stuff: There are NO Lugars in this level. At all. Which
is kinda wierd, considering the amount of machine gunners (almost all of them
carried Lugars in Burnsville). 

Also, you can get run over by the car. Don't ask me how I found that out. :P

I can assure you that I will most likely write a guide for Call of Duty after
it comes out.  It may not be right after its release but eventually I will do 
it, I have some other ongoing projects to finish first, although I will 
eagerly anticipate writing for it.  So, I hope you enjoyed the demo as much 
as I did and play it to death until Call of Duty comes out in November.
