1) About this FAQ

If you have questions, comments, or corrections to make regarding this
FAQ, send an email to degausser@hotmail.com, with "Star Wars FAQ" in the
title, and We'll talk.

As one last note, I will talk about this game on the standard, default
difficulty. So, I may miss a thing or two if playing on higher levels.
Then again, if your playing this game on harder levels, you've probably
already beaten it on normal >.>

2)Basics

If you're too lazy to read the instructions, or have tossed them out the
window a-la Eddie Izzard, then this section's for you.

2.1) Controls
Normal Controls:
Left Analogue stick: Move around

Right Analogue Stick: Camera

Square: Lightsaber attack. You can perform attacks in the air, and have
up to a combo of 4 swings.

Triangle(Vader) Force Choke people, you have to be close to guys to do
this one.
Triangle (Starkiller) Once unlocked, you can force-lightning people.

Circle: Force Push, knocks enemies back but doesn't deal much damage, can
be upgraded to be chargeable.

X: Jump, by pressing X twice, you can double-jump.

L1: Dash, You can dash on the ground, or in the air. You can even dash
after double jumping. You'll need this guy a lot.

L2: Defend. This blocks many melee attacks as well as all 'standard'
blaster attacks. Explosives, explosive ammo, blasts from starships,
electrical blasts, and some melee attacks cannot be blocked. It also
brings up your defensive powers menu once you unlock them

R1: Strafe, I find it useless, but hey, it's there.

R2: Force Grip. You will be given a tutorial on this early in the game.
Also, if you release the R2 button while still pushing a control stick in
a direction, you will 'fling' someone in that direction, it's a great way
to do people in!

FORCE GRIP CONTROLS:
While Force gripping you cannot move or defend yourself, but you will be
holding something aloft. Not everything in the game can be force
gripped, some enemies are immune, so beware. While gripping, the left
analogue stick controls things going left and right, to and fro. The
right analogue stick controls things going left and right, up and down.
If you don't touch either stick, the object will slowly float upwards.

DEFENSE CONTROLS
After you unlock all three special abilities for your defense, your
defense menu will allow three additional force powers. Defense and square
will throw your saber, defense and triangle will create a damaging aura
called a 'lightning shield' and defense and circle will repulse
everything around you. All of these powers use up quite a bit of force,
but all are very effective, so use them as you see fit.

2.2) Combos
You will begin the game with a few combos. For example, pressing L2
while locked onto an enemy will levitate them, then pressing circle will
blast them back, inflicting damage and looking pretty cool. This
particular move is called the Cannonball.

You can unlock a ton of powers over the course of the game. The
designers did a pretty good job of evening them out, some are more
effective than others at certain points against certain enemies. Have
fun!

2.3) How the game works:
The force unleashed is essentially a hack-and-slash game, but there are
some differences. The biggest one is it's level system. By killing
things, you get points. Now, you will accumulate more points if you kill
things in flashy ways, using force combos, and VARYING your force combos.
That means you shouldn't spam one move over and over again, as you won't
level fast.

Every time you level, you get 1 Force Talent, force power, and force
combo spheres. You can use spheres to upgrade yourself, your force
abilities, or get new attacks respectively. You can get additional
spheres by completing bonus objectives, these can be checked by pressing
select, then looking in mission objectives. Most levels have three extra
objectives: Do some random task, accumulate X points, or find all Jedi
Holocrons.

What are Holocrons? Well, they are various yellow cubes throughout the
game, and each will give you a special benefit. Some give you lightsaber
crystals, some give you costumes, some give spheres, and some merely
bestow points. These guys are Yellow, usually hidden, and look like
light sources from far way, meaning you'll have to get close to them to
spot them.

Now, there are also SITH holocrons in the game, which are different.
These do NOT have to be collected and are red pyramids. As opposed to
the Cube holocrons, they are easy to spot, and will give you temporary
boosts like doing significantly more damage, making you invincible,
replenishing your health, or whatnot. All Sith holocrons are fairly self
explanatory.

2.4) Interface
The interface is super easy for this game. The green bar is your health,
it'll turn red and flash if you are low. Everything you kill will give
you some health, so it's abundant. The blue bar is your force energy, it
regenerates quickly, but it can run out. If you use a lot of force
energy while it's low, your force bar will turn yellow. A yellow force
bar means you can't use the force until the bar 'cools down' and becomes
blue again. It's easy to spot, just look for it.

Below to the two bars is a minimap, which is useful but not always
specific. It does, however, always tell you were to go in the form of
yellow dots or arrows, so that's nice.

Now, when you kill someone, kill them in a cool way, or pull off a Force
combo, It'll temporarily replace the minimap with the type of enemy you
killed or how you killed him.

3) Walkthrough

I'll try to keep the spoilers down, but no guarantees. If you don't like
spoilers, then don't read past where you are.

3.1
Tutorial stage: Vader
(Extra mission objectives: None)

Okay, you are controlling Vader right after the events of episode III, as
he is hunting down a Jedi who survived on the Wookie homeworld. Note
that Vader cannot double jump, cannot dash, and is far too menacing to
'run.' So this section might be a bit long as you are forced to 'dawdle'
to the rogue Jedi.

You start off, look around. The path is laid out before you extremely
easy-like. Follow it, kill Wookies, kill the stormtroopers if you are so
inclined.

You'll get to a large wooden gate. Press Circle to charge up force
blast, and let go of the button to release it. This will destroy the
gate and let you pass.

Continue on, fight more Wookies, the path is pretty much just a straight
line. Eventually you will get to a bridge, cross it, and you'll reach
another wooden barrier, blast it like the previous one. Walk up the hill
and enter the tree at the top. Stand on the circular thing, which is a
lift that will take you up, so you can continue on.

Go across the bridge, follow the path, and you'll reach a second bridge
that'll immediately be taken out by a TIE fighter, so you'll have to
proceed to the next one. There'll be a ton of Wookies waiting for you
there, but they are super easy. One swing from a lightsaber will do them
in. Cross that bridge, then the next one.

You'll reach a large clearing, with a hut on the other side, walk towards
it to trigger a cutscene and a fight with the Jedi master.

Boss Fight: Rogue Jedi
This guy's pretty easy. Just attack him with the light saber, or use
force fling to throw him around, he's pretty much a pushover. He is,
however, immune to force choke and Force Push, so, y'know, don't try
that. You might trigger a lightsaber lock. If you do, all you have to
do is rapidly tap square to overpower him, do some damage, and knock him
down. You might also trigger a force battle, where you rock the left
analogue stick, if you win, you do some damage.

Note that he may get a blue aura around him and start concentrating. If
he does, he'll be invincible. Try to move around a lot as he'll try to
bring a TIE fighter down on top of you. That's not nearly as damaging as
it should be.

When he gets low on health, the game will prompt you to press Square,
this will lead to a quick time event, where you will see a cool cinematic
and have to press the buttons when prompted (if you don't, you will be
forced to redo sections of the QTE) This is true for all bosses in the
game and all sub-bosses.

Watch a cutscene, Nifty!

3.1.5 (Tutorial 2)
(Okay, this is a forced tutorial for force grip. Just follow the
instructions, it's cake.)

Another Cutscene

3.2 TIE factory
Okay, first real mission as Starkiller, follow the corridor until you hit
a dead end, then force-blast your way into the hanger. There are a TON
of badguys here, so go nuts, but don't goof around too much, or it may do
you in. There are several waves of baddies that come in through a whole
in the ground, but they'll eventually stop. There is a Sith Holocron at
the end of one of one of the catwalks (Unlimited Energy)

JEDI HOLOCRONS: One is on the far catwalk from the entrance (points), one
is on the uppermost catwalk (Yellow Lightsaber crystal). To reach the
latter, you must get on top of the fin of the crashed starship and double
jump up to the catwalk.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: One of your objectives for this level is to destroy 5
TIE fighters, there are six in the hanger. You can either lock onto them
and force-grip them down, or Force-fling stuff into them.

There is a door in the hanger opposite the giant force-field-into-space,
but it's locked, Force Grip the control panel to the left, which will
open to a second door. Force grip that up, and unlock the next hallway.

Force Push through the door that closes in front of you, fight some
guards, hang a left, fight some guards. You will be at a 4 way
intersection, one way is the way you came, one is a dead end, two are
doors. Force Push through both doors, one leads on, the other houses a
JEDI HOLOCRON (points)

Continue on, more guys. Careful, these guys have force pikes, which can
gourd against your lightsaber. They are, however, still quite vulnerable
to Force Pushs and such.

Continue on, and you'll reach a T intersection, where you are running up
the middle. The left will open up into stormtroopers, which can be
easily killed. The right continues on after you Force Push a door.

Follow the minimap and you'll get to a bridge that's been torn apart.
Double jump across it and find a bunch of guys, kill them, then force
blast the white door to find some more guys inside a small bunker.

BEFORE heading for the lift (the circular area at one end) Force Push
your way though the other door, and find a JEDI HOLOCRON (Force Talent
sphere) behind some boxes.

Up the lift there is another fight, and two more doors to Force Push.
One continues on, the other leads to a small area where there is a JEDI
HOLOCRON (Force Combo Sphere) behind some boxes to the left.

Follow the other path down and kill all the stormtroopers in your way.
You'll see a bridge to the left that's been taken out. Double-jump to
cross it, and continue on. You'll be on a straight walkway, but there
are some areas off to the right. One of these areas contains a JEDI
HOLOCRON (points).

Follow the minimap to a large, computer-filled room with a battle between
Militia and stormtroopers. Kill everyone. There is a sith holocron
(damage) in the little computer hub in the center.

Continue out the other door, fight some more guys (with heavy weaponry),
and you'll get to a large room. As soon as you enter, they will raise the
'laser gates.' If you touch these gates, it will hurt, but it
instantly kills them if they touch it. Have fun >:D When they are dead,
force grip the glowing generator outside the laser gates to shut them
down, then move on.

There's a Corridor, then large room. If you fling something out the
window, it will break the seal, and suck all nearby bad guys out until an
emergency bulkhead seals it a few seconds later.

Another corridor, another large room with a Sith Holocron (Health drain
aura.) The corridor after that requires you to force-pull two things.
One is a hatch down, and the other is a large metal thing. It's pretty
straight forward, Pull the metal thing across, then double-jump=dash to
the hatch. Then jump up and continue on. Drop down at the end of the
tunnel, blast the door at the bottom, and continue on.

In this room, there are several militia men trying to take down an
imperial AT (an AT-CT) You can kill the militia men, then the AT-CT, or
you can let the imperials kill it and then pick them off, but don't go
after the AT-CT first, or you will die. After that, jump on the TIE wing
assembly (The TIE wings that are rising up) and ride it up to the
uppermost catwalk. There is a bunker at the end, and if you jump on top
of it, you will find a JEDI HOLOCRON (points)

SUB-Boss: AT-CT
All ATs can be killed in the same basic way. You jump, or double jump,
hit them with the lightsaber combo, then fall down, jump again. Watch
out as they have a ground-pound maneuver that will hurt you and knock you
back if you are on the ground. Once they have taken about 4/5ths of
their life in damage, stand in front of one to launch a quick time event,
(QTE)

Finish off the bozos on the catwalk and go through the door indicated on
you minimap. You'll enter a second wing assembly room, but this one is
worse for the wear. It has a Sith Holocron (unlimited energy) though I
don't see why. See below for the Jedi Holocrons, and then just exit
through the other door.

JEDI HOLOCRONS:
There are two in this room. To get them requires a bit of finesse.
There is a TIE wing on the ground. Force grip one and fit it into the
second shaft from the right. Then jump on the wing in the right most
shaft, then the wing you just placed, then the wing on the third shaft
from the right, where one holocron is (points) Jump up and up, and
eventually you will be able to board one of two catwalks, One of which
has a Jedi Holocron (power crystal.) It may take a few tires. Remember
to double-jump-dash.

Follow the corridor to a junction, kill people, go up the lift, follow
the corridor, and welcome to a massive assembly line. It's positively
teaming with bad guys. Kill them all, and explore the area throughly, as
there is a JEDI HOLOCRON in a side room (points). Tucked away, in the
back, is a small area with a bunch of guys, and a generator behind a
laser gate. There are two JEDI HOLOCRONS, one is in a side room
(Points) and the other is in between one of the masses of energy pylons
(sphere). Take out the guys and the generator, and the laser gate will
fail, allowing you to proceed to the second part of the assembly area,
which is much like the first. Kill people, and search every nook and
cranny for 2 JEDI HOLOCRONS (both Points)

NOTE: You can force grip the assembly lasers and shoot people with them,
pretty fun!

Exit at the door at the back, follow the corridor to the lift, cutscene.

BOSS Battle, General Kota:

Well, as bosses go, Kota is pretty easy. Just attack and defend with
your lightsaber, and toss him up in the air if you feel so inclined.
He'll occasionally resist your force grip or blast. When he summons a
bunch of monitors to himself, or gets a green aura, hide behind one of
the walls, as that may protect you.

When he takes enough damage, he'll detach the tower and you'll start
falling inside the structure. Continue fighting, and eventually the
ground will heat up (glow yellow). From then on, if you touch it, you'll
take damage, so stay on some of the concrete slabs to avoid getting
burned. When he's taken enough damage, he'll trigger a QTE.

Cutscene: Cryptic!

3.3 (Raxus Prime)
(Secondary Objective, Kill 10 Skiffs)

You now have access to the TRIANGLE button, force lightning, your new
friend! Go forward and use it on the glowing blue engine, which will
fire off out of control and smash into the tower at the far end of the
clearing.

Now, There are two more engines in the clearing (one to the left and one
to the right), and you have to fire off one more of them. And that
glowing yucky stuff hurts you, so don't stay in it too long. Luckily
there are small platforms that you can raise from the gunk so you can
land on them.

JEDI HOLOCRON: One is off to the left (points), underneath a cliff that
is easy to see. It is right behind a platform that you can raise. You will
get hurt getting in, I'm sorry to say.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: The secondary objective in this level is to kill 10
skiffs. You can make two show up here by getting to the right-side
engine, and by reaching your destination (the tower) and walking around
a bit before going inside the hole. A little bit of sith lightning will
blow them up.

Enter the hole, and face, JAWAS! Get next to one and press Square and X
for a funny attack. Follow your way on the minimap to a large circular
room. Jump up, and use the gears to get up to the large hole up there.

JEDI HOLOCRON (sphere): There is one up there. It's hard to explain,
just jump around in the area for a while and you'll eventually manage to
get it. HINT: There is a lip on the large center cylinder that you can
land on.

Leave the hole, and continue on, Force Push the broken scrap heap, move,
and jump across the river of gunk. There are large, glowing pylons,
which you must force-grip downward to prevent sparks from raining down on
you when crossing the area. Follow along and you'll get to a large open area,
where Rodarians are fighting Junk droids.

Here, Junk droids will pop up, seemingly ad nausium, but you CAN kill all
of them. Also, there are several skiffs to destroy. There is a JEDI
HOLOCRON (points) directly to your left as you enter the area, and
another JEDI HOLOCRON (compressed Red Lightsaber Crystal) hidden in a fake
wall on the ground level. Also, there is an Unlimited Energy Sith
Holocron here.

Raise the large, glowing blue piece of metal up using force grip, then
stand on top of it and double-jump-dash over to the other glowing metal
thing. Destroy it (Leaping lightsaber slam works well) and jump down.
Kill stuff, Then jump down the next hole.

Another large area, kill stuff, there are Skiffs here to destroy as well.
There is a JEDI HOLOCRON (points) Near the cliff to the river of gunk.
This area can get confusing, but just follow the minimap to a fake wall
and force-blast it open. Follow the corridor to a dead end. There is a
fake wall that you can Lightsaber through for a JEDI HOLOCRON (Points),
then double jump up to the tunnel above the holocron chamber to continue on.

You'll come to a large river of gunk with makeshift bridges across it.
There are a lot of heavy gunners here, so be careful. If you have
Defensive saber mastery levels, just press block and redirect the blaster
bolts back on their targets, making your job easier. In any case, cross
the chasm. You'll reach some large, glowing gates. Force grip and bend
them so you can pass.

Another large area (scavenger's camp), with a TON of gunners. You'll
need to make your way to the whole in the wall at the far side. Watch
out, tons of gunners here. In one of the corners is a JEDI HOLOCRON
(sphere) and off the 'dock' overlooking the cliff there is another JEDI
HOLOCRON (Gold Lightsaber Crystal). Also in the center structure there
is a Sith Holocron (Damage increase)

Go down the Hole and follow the small route to yet another open area.
Kill guys, and use the force grip on the glowing electricity . . . thing
in the center. That will cause a piece of debris to destroy the laser
gate generator. There are two more skiffs to destroy, to get them to
come to you, go to the end of the two 'docks' near the energy thingie.

JEDI HOLOCRONS: There are Two in this area, One is atop some wreckage
left of the entrance/exit (Compressed Yellow Crystal), and the other
is underneath the glowing energy thingamabob (Sphere).

Head back to the camp, and through the area that was cut off by laser
gates. Beware, enemies respawn, make your way through the corridor,
and lightning-zap the two little flying droids at the end.

NOTE: Those little flying droids will siphon off Force energy from you,
so kill them whenever you see them.

Okay, large pit. Follow the little walkway down and left, killing any
scrap droids you see. Lightening zap the engine, and it'll start heating
that large piece of metal. Run along BACK the walkway and you'll trigger
a cutscene with a Junk Titan.

Sub-Boss: Junk Titan: Use Force lightning to stun him and smash him
repeatedly with your lightsaber. A good rule of thumb is to jump, get in
three smashes, then lightning him, land, jump and repeat. You can also
zap the large thing he's under to stun him, and stay clear. It may take
a couple tries, just try to get a rhythm for him. When he's low enough on
health he'll trigger a QTE.

Jump to the Right side walkway, grab the JEDI HOLOCRON (points).
There's also a sith Holocron (Damage Increase) if you wanna grab it.
Force grab the glowing piece of metal that is being heat blasted.
It'll trigger a cutscene, then jump down to the now-makeshift bridge.
Follow along the path, and you'll get to a glowing, curled piece of
metal. Force Grip down, and jump on your new platform, then across.

You'll come to several metal bars sticking vertically up. Force Push
them to reveal more glowing curled bars. Bend them all down to form
several platforms that lead to a JEDI HOLOCRON (Sith costume!)

Follow the minimap to an area with another Junk Titan, beat him as you
did the last. Force Push the door open. There is a JEDI HOLOCRON
(points) Right on the other side. Also, there is another obvious JEDI
HOLOCRON (Power Crystal) floating in mid-air just a bit farther down.
To get it you'll have to force grip some junk into position, stand on it,and
double jump up to the catwalk, and then jump-dash over to the holocron.
There is a third JEDI HOLOCRON (points) at the end of one of the
catwalks. Get on the lift, Cutscene.

BOSS: KAZTAN PARATAS

Congrats, welcome to your first difficult Boss. Kaztan Paratas is a
mean, fast little bugger, and you'll probably die a few times before
winning, but there is a strategy to beating him. When he goes into an
attacking frenzy, he'll attack twice, pause, then attack a third time
with a big flashy move (it may break your guard.) So, when he attacks
twice, block, but during the pause, attack him. You'll do a cool
deadlock animation. Then hit him with lightning. Rinse and repeat. You
may get into a lightning deadlock. Hit the triangle when it's in the red
part of the circle to gain ground in the deadlock.

Part way through he'll climb up, out of reach, and summon a Junk Titan,
which is actually a good thing, seeing as you can kill it and get some
life back. He'll toss some junk at you (hide behind one of the pylons)
then come back down for more fighting. He may summon more over the
course of the fight.

Eventually there will be a QTE, Cutscene, NO FORSHADOWING HERE, NO
SERIE! I'm sure Maris Brood will stay on the straight and Narrow!

3.4, (Felucia)
(Bonus mission, destroy 4 Rancors)

Wow, a Druggie's favorite place! Move along the easy-as-pie path,
killing Felucian warriors. Watch out for spitting plants, as you cannot
block their projectiles. There is a JEDI HOLOCRON (Points) to the right
immediately after you trigger the small cutscene where Starkiller says "A
Jedi's hand is at work."

Enter a tunnel, which empties into a large spire which you must ascend.
There are multiple paths upwards, so just make your way on up. There
are FOUR JEDI HOLOCRONS here, as well two Sith Holocrons (damage) and
(Health drain aura).

JEDI HOLOCRONS: One is on the level below the entrance (points), one is
easy to spot on one of the levels upward (points) The Last two are on
two separate dangling platforms near the top (Unstable Red Lightsaber
crystal and points.)

Once you reach the top, you'll go through a corridor. You'll enter a
large clearing and get a small cutscene, prepare for beat down . . .yours.

So here's the deal, those blue Felucians are now invincible if they have a
red aura surrounding them. There is a red dude in the back that makes
them that way. Try to take him out, but he teleports, so it's very much
in the 'not fun' category. After you kill him, search the immediate area
for a JEDI HOLOCRON (points), then follow the minimap to another area with
more invincible dudes, only this time, patches of the ground (they look
like bogs) will explode if you get near them. You may die a few times.
Enter the tunnel where the mimimap indicates and continue on.

UPDATE: Aaron Landry pointed out another JEDI HOLOCRON in this area, the
elusive Compressed Gold Lightsaber Crystal

Inside the Tunnel you'll find a JEDI HOLOCRON (Sphere) where there is a
small fork in the road. The Holocron is floating in between the fork,
just look around. You'll eventually come to a bridge with more of those
invincible-making dudes and a big ol chieftain. Kill and continue on.
Next you trigger a cutscene, now you can choose to kill the rancor, or
just run past him. Wait, RANCOR!?

Sub Boss- Rancor
Strangely, the Rancor isn't as tough as one might expect. Just follow the
standard method of taking down the Junk Titans (Jump, three lightsaber
slash, force lightning) and you'll trigger that QTE in no time. Also,
there is a Sith Holocron (Damage) to help you out.

Additionally, there is a JEDI HOLOCRON (Points) in the Rancor area.
When your done, continue on to the next area, with another shaman and more
of those invincible dudes. Run past or kill them, but follow that minimap
into the tunnel. Inside, between another fork in the road, is a JEDI
HOLOCRON (points). Continue on, more invincible dudes, continue on. You'll
reach a large, underground clearing. There are THREE Rancors here, but
they are fairly well isolated from you, so take them down if you feel like
completing the bonus objectives.

Also, search the place thoroughly, for JEDI HOLOCRONS. There are 4
Strewn about the area, (3 Sphere, points). Exit at the tunnel in the
back, trigger the cutscene.

BOSS FIGHT: SHAAK TI

Another two-stage boss, like Kota. In the first part it's a straight up
duel. She's immune to force push and grip, and she's quite agile. Also,
she'll sometimes summon Felucians so you can kill them for health. Watch
out for more of those exploding bogs. The Force Repulse (Guard+Circle)Is
very effective against her. Use it on her then stab her while she's down.

When you damage her enough, she'll jump down and have a mega Sarlacc aide
her. Just keep your eyes on those large tentacles, because when she
jumps clear they will come down to crush you. They always come down in
with gaps in between, so it's possible to avoid them if your quick
enough. Use lightning and the Leaping Saber slash on her here. When
you beat her, it's QTE and then cutscene.

Cutscenes upon Cutscenes, OUCHIE! Apparently, in the book, it took
him six months to recover.

3.5, (Empirical, Science station)
(Bonus mission, Launch all escape pods)

When the game finally let's you move, take a second. Look around before
smashing the glass. You'll see a large generator outside the glass
enclosure. Break the glass and you'll trigger gas that will continually
drain your life. Force Grip the generator to disable the gas and drop
the Laser Gates around the door.

Exit through the door for a free JEDI HOLOCRON (Blue lightsaber crystal),
continue on and you'll eventually enter a large experiment room (lots
of gas canisters). Inside one of the chambers is a JEDI HOLOCRON (sphere).
Another JEDI HOLOCRON (Sphere) is inside a door directly below the door
that you entered from. (Thanks to Sean b for the Holocron in the door,
for some reason I couldn't find it!)

NOTE: This is the first appearance of EVO troopers, these guys are easily
recognizable as they have electricity arcing in their suits. They shoot
projectiles that cannot be deflected and they are immune to lightning.
What's more, if you zap them, they'll get a force field around them,
which makes them immune to all force powers.

In the far end there is a glowing door. Force Push it open. Follow
along the path, and you'll find yourself facing a huge room full of
baddies. Tons of bad guys in here, you may die a few times. All I can
say is do what you can.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of Shadow Troopers, these guys have a
gun that, while it can be deflected, if it hits you it stuns you for a
long time, giving people plenty of time to pound on you.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of Stormtroopers Commanders, these
guys have Force Fields that prevent all force powers, and absorb one hit
from a lightsaber before it goes down. After their forcefield goes down
though, they are fair game.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
In this room there are six cylinders which are actually escape pods. Hit
them with Force Lightning to make them fire off and explode after a bit.

JEDI HOLOCRON: One of the escape pods is sitting on top of a Holocron (
sphere). Fire it off to gain access to it.

When this room is done, force push your way though the glowing door to
continue. Another Fight, and there is a JEDI HOLOCRON (Power Crystal) Hidden
behind some barrels. Also, listen to the P.A. system and your talk with
Proxy for some comedy.

Force Blast your way though the door, and now you have to fight Two EVO
troopers and a fearsome PURGE trooper.

Sub-Boss: Purge Trooper
These guys are super droids and can take a ton of hits. What's more,
Lightsabers don't cause them to 'flinch' though force lighting does.
They have some powerful hand to hand attacks, and a powerful energy
cannon that cannot be deflected if you run away from them. Your best bet
is to make him fall down, and stab him with the lightsaber while on the
ground. The Sith Saber Slam and Aerial Ambush actually does this fairly
well. He is immune to force grip, and extremely resilient to force push
and force repulse.

Force blast your way though the door and into another fight. Fight the
guys on the Catwalk first, then go under it where you'll fight TWO more
Purge troopers and several more Stormtroopers of various makes. There
are two generators. Force Grip both of them to lower the Laser gates and
rescue JUNO

NOTE: If you have Force Lightning upgraded to lvl 2, this fight becomes
much easier, as you can just stand up top, force lightning one Purge
Trooper, and jump around and duck for cover when you run out of energy,
rinse and repeat. As long as you stay out of the firing line of the
other trooper you're good. Alternately, you can Lightning Grenade all the
Shadow troopers down there, and hope to take one or both of the PURGE
troopers out.

Cutscene, congrats, you are now fugitives. And for some reason, you now
have a Blue Lightsaber in the cutscenes (Where'd that come from???)

3.6 (Cloud City, Bespin)
(Secondary Objective, freeze 10 Imperials in Carbonite)

Start off fighting, and scale your way up two ramps and two landings to
the exit. There are two JEDI HOLOCRONS here, one is on the second
landing, above the bar(Power Crystal), and one is inside a depression on
the third landing. (Unstable Gold crystal), There's also a Sith Holocron
(damage) When you are done, exit by the door indicated on your minimap.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of the Imperial Senate Guard. These
guys have lightsaber-like spears, and can take quite a few hits, and they
aren't bad in melee either. However, you can still throw them around
with force powers.

Exit the bar and you'll find a fight waiting for you. There is a JEDI
HOLOCRON (Points) in an area if you jump off the circular platform (go
right as you exit the bar.) There's another one dangling in mid-air. To
get it, lightning zap one of the large windmills to supercharge it,
causing an updraft that will hoist you up into the air. Jump-Dash over
to grab it. (sphere) The Third one is on a railing above this area.
Move up to one of the towers to jump on the railing and run down it.
(Unstable Yellow Crystal)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: You'll find a bunch of cylinders strewn about the
docks. They look like containers, but if you Force push or force grip
an imperial into one, they will be frozen in Carbonite, do this ten
times to meet your objective.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of Scout Troopers, these annoying
little dudes are snipers and usually hidden far from you. When you see a
yellow Line tracing to you, you know one of them has you in it's sights.
It'll change to red just before he fires. To prevent him from killing you,
move around a lot so he looses his 'lock' on you. Their weapons cannot
be deflected.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of the Jumptroopers. These are
Stormtroopers with jetpacks. They are likewise very annoying, and
likewise their weapons cannot be deflected. However, if you hit them
with lightning, there is a chance their Jetpack will go out of control
and explode, so, lighting these guys a lot.

Anyway, follow the map, and you'll enter a large dock with a ton of
badguys. I won't lie, you may die, but just do what you can. Watch out
for the vehicles, as there are cheap AT-CT knock offs here. There is a
SITH HOLOCRON (unlimited energy) Hidden in one of the sub rooms.
When you kill everyone, head to the docking platform indicated on the minimap

BUT WAIT! CUTSCENE and, what's this dude? A Beefed up Senate Guard?

Sub Boss: Shadow Guard
He IS essentially a beefed up Senate guard. He has more health, he's
better in melee, and he's immune to some force powers, and has a few of
his own (Force grip, force push, and lightning.) Just beat on him, he's
not too tough. He does trigger a QTE, and when you beat him, the stage
ends, weather or not you've killed the other troopers.

Cutscene, Wow, Kota went downhill in a hurry

3.7 Kashyyyk
(Secondary objective, Destroy the communications tower)

Immediately upon starting the level, to your left is a JEDI HOLOCRON
(Compressed Blue Crystal)

Move forward, and you'll trigger a cutscene, Then follow the minimap to
fight some stormtroopers. There is a JEDI HOLOCRON (points) floating
High above this area. There is a nearby tree branch that you can double
-jump to reach, and then double-jump-dash to reach the holocron. An
AT-KT is also in the area. These ATs have more firepower than a normal
AT, so watch out. Also, there are two guys with turrets in firing positions
at the wall, double-jump and lightning them to take them down. Force grip
the door open. There is a Sith Holocron (Damage) in this area.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of the IMPERIAL INCENERATOR TROOPERS These
guys have flamethrowers, shields like the Imperial commanders, and a ton of
hit points, plus they explode when killed. I recommend the Saber throw to
beat them from a distance.

Welcome to the Gauntlet, during my first run through of this game I died
multiple times, so be prepared. In principle, the area is easy, just
follow the track to the end, and force grip the door open. In practice,
this place is teaming with guards and snipers. There are two Sith
Holocrons here, Restore Health, and Invincibility,

This place is stocked with Scouts, EVO troopers, Commanders, Jumptroopers
and Shadow Troopers, so you'll need to think ahead. Lightning is your
friend here.

JEDI HOLOCRONS: There are four JEDI HOLOCRONS here, one is precariously
perched on a conduit to the left as you enter(points), another is behind
a large pipe as you ascend the left-hand catwalk (points). The third is
behind another large pipe, and is placed between a catwalk and the tower
(sphere), the last is on a support strut, near the tower, you'll have to
jump off of an above catwalk to reach it. (points)

Secondary Objective:
The secondary objective is here. There are two generators on the central
tower that you need to destroy. One is on the main catwalk, and the
other is at the base of the tower. This one is fairly easy, just Force
Grip the outer plate away and then blast the generator with lightning.

When you finally make your way to the big wall, make sure to double-jump
lightning the two turrets on either side, otherwise they'll shoot you
down while trying to open the door.

Inside are a few more guys and a Sith holocron (restore energy) Go into
the adjoining room, where you'll find a bunch of cool creatures
(Including a very special someone frozen in Carbonite, no, not Han.)
Also, grab the JEDI HOLOCRON (points) that's in the room above a Trophy
case.

NOTE: This is the first appearance of the ROYAL GUARD. Like the Senate
Guard, these guys are light-spear wielding force users. He's immune
to some force powers however, and has more hitpoints.

CUTSCENE! Great, we can get out of . . . ah crap.

Follow along, kill things, There are snipers in the huts, but you can
double-jump lightning them to take them out. When you get to the end
you'll have to take out a SHADOW GUARD.

Note: There are several prisons in this level, with wookies in them.
Free them and they'll help you fight the empire.

JEDI HOLOCRONS: There are three: One is in the FIRST sniping nest you
come across, stand on the nearby Wookie Prison to get it (points).
The second is in the THIRD hut, you'll have to Force grip a rock over to
stand on it, then double jump (points), the third is in a wookie prison
(points).

When you're done, enter the base. Now, there will be a series of
laser gates. To disable these, you need to force grip the power cable in
each section before you move on to the next. REMEMBER, you can Force
Grip things on the other side of a Laser gate, to thin the heard if you
so choose.

There are two JEDI HOLOCRON (sphere and points) in this area. There are
many small holding cells on the left side of the tunnel that you can
force grip open. Some contain wookies, two contain holocrons. There is
also a PURGE Trooper in there, so be careful. Exit the door when you get
to it.

Welcome to the Gauntlet, part two! Here is the deal, there are seven
posts around the skyhook that you need to force-grip out of their
moorings. The problem is a crap-ton of empirals. Take care of ALL the
empirals first (watch out, there are several, that's right SEVERAL purge
troopers here. I suggest you kill things one mooring area at a time.
There are Wookies in prisons that you can release, and they will help
you. There are also several sith holocrons around to help you out.

NOTE: Taking out the Purge Troopers is actually a bit easier than one
might think. Occasionally, the AI gets retarded, and they get stuck
behind the moorings. Just double-jump, Lighting them for a bit, land,
wait for force to recharge, and do it again. If you don't like
exploiting AI glitches, then don't do it.

JEDI HOLOCRONS: There are two, one (Purple crystal) in a tree branch.
The other (points) is near the wall of the skyhook. Look for them after
defeating all empirals, they'll be easy to spot.

Once you finish killing everything, start lifting the posts out of their
moorings. After you take out two, Sturn will come out of a door in a
modified AT and attack you.

BOSS: Sturn
Sturn is just like any other AT, except he has a HUGE cannon in the
front, so don't get hit by THAT. Stay behind him and lightsaber-lightning
him and he'll go down. Also one of the cooler QTEs in the game.

When Stern is down, destroy the rest of the pins and trigger the stage-
end cutscene. So Organa want went after Shaak Ti . . . whoops . . .

3.8 Return to Felucia
(Secondary Objective, ease the Sarlacc's pain)

Upon starting you'll be on a cliff. Jump down and kill anything that
moves as there is a big battle between Imperials and Felucians Watch out
for the exploding Bogs. There is a JEDI HOLOCRON (sphere) near a large
thing in the ground (looks like a claw). To get to it Force-Grip some
boxes and jump on top of them, then Double-jump up to it. When your
done, follow the minimap.

Cross the bridge (careful, there are two PURGE troopers,) and you'll find
yourself on a small cliff overlooking a valley. To your right, if you
jump up, you can find a JEDI HOLOCRON (Compressed Purple Crystal)
Go nuts fighting here. At one point the Imperials will drop an AT-ST from
orbit. Cute . . . take it out.

There are two more JEDI HOLOCRONS in the area. First, go to the rock
ledge that is easily accessible from the valley ground (a double jump will
get you up there.) There is a small cave there, enter it and double-
jump-dash the gap, to find the first of the holocrons (points), then
follow the cave along, kill the stormtroper with the turret, go into the
second cave for the second holocron (sphere.)

Follow the minimap and Force-push those boulders out of the way.
Another fight, another AT-ST Move on, and . . . what are they
DOING to the Mega-Sarlacc?

THE MEGA SARLACC:
Okay, so here's what you need to do, to the right there is a large
vehicle, kill all the Imperials there, and lightning Zap the generator.
(Also, go down the opposite side of the vehicle for a JEDI HOLOCRON
(points), a second JEDI HOLOCRON (power crystal) is on top of the
generator's power lines.) Then since your at a dead end, go around, and
head across the bridge (Imperials will resist), and go to each of the
other two bridges, where you will find other identical vehicles, and zap
THEIR generators. In total you will have to zap three generators from
the three different vehicles, then go down the elevator into the
Sarlacc's stomach (not a pleasant idea.) Before you do, there is a JEDI
HOLOCRON (points) atop one of the roofs over the bridges.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Off of each of the vehicles is a chain. Throw your
lightsaber out to it to sever each of the three chains in order to meet your
bonus objectives.

Upon entering the stomach of the Mega Sarlacc, exit the little ramp and
to your right is a JEDI HOLOCRON (points). You'll enter a 'tunnel' with
a bunch of little tentacles. When you see a piece of equipment, zap it
with electricity if you don't the Sarlacc will eat you for MASSIVE
damage. Continue on, you'll find a small chamber, and then another
tentacle-tunnel (no machines this time.) You'll come to a cliff with a
JEDI HOLOCRON floating in mid air, but I don't know how to get it (can
anyone help?)

UPDATE:
Aaron Landry has come to my rescue with this well-written guide to
getting it:
Return to Felucia: Mega Sarlac's stomach: To get that enticing
JEDI HOLOCRON floating in mid-air high above the stomachs floor->
1) Save the game BEFORE JUMPING ANYWHERE... just in case you miss,
you can reload.
2) Do you have Dashing Blast Combo? (L1,O) Best get that
first, otherwise you'll never make it.
3) From the lip of the cliff move forward and Jump---Jump---L1(Dash)
and then quickly
after press O to do Dashing Blast as that will give you TWO Dashes in
Mid-Air, effectively flying to your Goal.
4) Great you got the Holocron! what?!? Only a pitiful 10,000
Force points for all that work?

There were a LOT of people who told me how to get this, I just
used Aaron's because his was so well written.

Anyway, when the whole in the center opens up, jump through it. Go
through the tentacle-tunnel (Zap those machines!), and you'll get to some
sort of wind room. The trick is to get behind one of the columns by the
time the wind blows, or else you'll be blown to the back. There is a
JEDI HOLOCRON (points) behind one column. Enter the hole at
the back, cutscene.

Back into a battle, and remember our old friends the invincible making
Felucian shamans? Yeah, they're back. As are the Rancors. There is a
JEDI HOLOCRON (Points) floating in mid air in this clearing. Jump on the
nearby wreckage, then double-jump-dash to get to it.

Follow the minimap, scale the cliffs, kill some Felucian Chieftains. . .
there are also Poison splitters here, so watch out. Move along, another
Rancor, move along. Also, near the Rancor is a JEDI HOLOCRON (points)
on the ground. Look around, it's not too difficult to spot.
Move on into the tunnel,cutscene.

BOSS FIGHT: Bull Rancor
Maris Brood cannot be hurt here, so just concentrate on the Rancor. It's
bigger, it does more damage, and it has more hits than a normal Rancor,
but it's essentially the same game. Jump, swing swing swing swing,
lightning. Try to be behind it as it has a tendency to kill things in
front of it. You'll get the QTE soon enough.

Alternate Strategy: Saber Throw works REALLY well on this guy. Get away
from him and Saber throw. When he charges you, double jump over him and use
the Leaping slash to do some damage.

Cutscene

Boss Fight: Maris Brood (Dark Side)
Compared to other Jedi, she's cake. She can turn invisible, but just
Force Repulse her away and she'll go flying (and turn visible) Then stab
her on the ground. Nice QTE though.

Cutscene, so who are you working for?

3.9 Return to Raxus Prime
(Secondary Objective, destroy the tractor beam tower)

Okay, you know the drill, move along the path, kill dudes, eventually on
your left will be a small corridor with a JEDI HOLOCRON (points). Follow
your way on the minimap and reach a bunch of metal bars blocking your path.
Force Push past them and continue on.

You'll reach a gap in the form of a destroyed bridge, but just double
Jump across it and continue on. There is a Sith Holocron to restore your
health, and then cross the bridge to your left and kill a couple dudes.
There is a Fake wall in the side of the space ship there for a JEDI
HOLOCRON (sphere). Then jump down the cliff. There is a large porthole that
you have to jump up to, but on it is a free JEDI HOLOCRON (points).

The Tunnel exits to a war zone. To your immediate left is a Sith
Holocron (Unlimited Energy) which is good for taking out those pesky
PURGE troopers (If you have Lvl 3 Lightning, just keep triangle pressed.)
Just run around killing everything. Eventually the Empire will drop an
AT-ST, but it's nothing you haven't handled before.

JEDI HOLOCRONS: There are Two. One is floating on a platform (Compressed
Green Crystal) and one is above in mid-air. (points.) Just jump
around from platform to platform and you should be able to get them.

When you are done, scale the platforms extending from one side of the
junk heaps to continue on into the tunnel, where there is a free JEDI
HOLOCRON (points), The end opens up into another valley. Lots of bad
guys, go though them. Watch out of the PURGE Troopers. There are a
few Sith Holocrons to help you out. A JEDI HOLOCRON (Points)
is atop a sniping tower (you can just double-jump up to it).
Once everyone is dead, the dropship will open with more
baddies, including an AT-ST.

Kill stuff, but do NOT ascend the elevator before you grab the JEDI
HOLOCRON (sphere)in there Instead, jump up on the platforms and the
holocron is in the upper catwalk. After that, get on the elevator
and . . . cutscene

Kill stuff, get inside the base, get on the elevator, Look around for a
JEDI HOLOCRON (Points). Go inside the door.

You'll enter the Tractor beam Facility, a massive two-story complex with
two rings, a gap, and then a large cylinder in the middle. On the second
story there is a dead end, but force-push through a false wall to find a
tunnel with a JEDI HOLOCRON, an Unstable Purple Crystal. Kill everything
on the outer edge, Destroy the generators (they are behind the laser gates)
and have fun!

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
If you jump to the central tower, you will find five generators outside
of it. Zap them with electricity to bring the tractor emitter down.

Exit the door, go down the elevator, and prepare for another tough fight.
You are on the middle of a pincer trap, and there are snipers and stuff
waiting to take you out. There are two catwalks to the side of the main
catwalk, and your first priority is to get to one of them, and behind
some shielding so the snipers can't kill you. Then take out what you
can, and use Force Grip to grab a barrel and take out the sniper. At the
end of the catwalk is a large glowing lock. Force grip it up, then
repeat on the other side to unlock the door. There is a JEDI HOLOCRON
on one of the sniping catwalks, but I have no idea how to reach it.

UPDATE: Several People
Several People have sent me the E-mail on how to get this. You need to
use the Dashing Blast. It's the combo of Dash (L1) and Circle. You
have to buy this upgrade in order to use it. Then, at the closest
point between the two catwalks, Double-Jump-Dash Blast. Dash Blast
makes you go farther than Normal Dash.

Enter the door, and you'll find a circular corridor. Go all the way
around it to insure you find the two JEDI HOLOCRONS (both points)
Then go through the door.

BOSS BATTLE: Proxy

Not much to say about this Boss Battle, first, Proxy is a Shadow Guard,
then he'll change between a bunch of different people, then He'll change
to Darth Maul. Just do what you can against him, I didn't have all that
much trouble, but I did die a few times. Watch out, as one of his combos
is very damaging and his lightsaber throw is unblockable.

Alternate Strategy: Force Repulse is super effective against his Darth
Maul form. Get him in a corner, Let him reach the end of an attack
sequence (block it, obviously), then Force repulse to knock him down.
Stab him while he's down for massive damage. QTE

RAIL CANNONS!

You'll come up in a bunker, force push your way out

Okay, here is the deal, there are Four stations, heavily guarded, with
bunkers underneath and electrical devices up top. Kill stuff, and hit
the electrical devices with electricity. Once all four of them are lit
up, it'll trigger a cutscene.

Boss fight: Star Destroyer

Okay, the good news, now you get to rip down a Star Destroyer with
nothing but the force! The bad news? Lucasarts has managed to make this
the most boring part of the game.

Here's what you do: hide behind a pillar, and wait for an engine core to
float by. Then, Force grip it and use lightning to fire it off at a TIE
fighter. When all TIE fighters are gone, move out from behind the
pillar, press Force Grip, and then control the Star Destroyer so that
it's nose is facing you. When you see the little analogue sticks on the
screen with 'down' arrows, move both of your analogue sticks down.
Eventually, more TIE fighters will come, and you'll have to repeat the
whole possess over again. It's going to take many, many cycles of this,
but you'll eventually bring it down. I will tell you that the Star
Destroyer goes through three 'phases.' Pointing to the right, to the
left, and down and slightly right. Eventually, you'll trigger a
cutscene. Damn, your badass, and hey, proxy's your friend again!

ALTERNATE STRADEGY (About 50 Bajillion people, I like hyperbole)
Apparently you CAN Force Grip and Force Lightning the TIE fighters,
which makes this level much quicker. I'm not very good at pulling it \
off, but try your luck at it. Apparently this shaves mucho time off
of the fight.

Cutscene, cutscene cutscene, Vader's an (expletive), let's go kick his
butt!

3.10 (Death Star, Incomplete)
(No secondary objective)

Okay, probably the hardest part of the game, you are dropped into an area
positively TEAMING with Imperials, and let me tell you, YOU WILL DIE,
A LOT! Here is the general strategy I have come up with:

Make a Bee-line for a corner. One of them has a lift that will take you
to the upper levels, up there you will find two snipers. Kill them.
Also, two Jumptroopers will chase you up there, kill them. On the
ground level there are lots of imperials, and an AT-CT. When you kill
that, an AT-ST will show up. When you kill THAT a Crapload of PURGE
troopers will show up. Spam Double-jump Leaping slash as that keeps you
most protected. Throw in an occasional bit of force Lightning
(especially if you have Lightning 3) and You'll eventually take them
down. There are two SITH HOLOCRONS in this room, both restore your
health, so don't use them unless you have to. When you kill the PURGE
troopers and most of the imperials, force-grip one of the plates in the
glowing floor and jump down the hole

JEDI HOLOCRONS: There are two on the upper Catwalk (points and Power crystal)

Okay, so, not that you've dropped into the hole, everything should be
nice and HEY! THIS IS THE FIRING TUBE FOR THE DEATH STAR LASER!
That's right, you are in the firing tube, and they are doing tests.
Make your way down the tube, find a hidy-hole, and wait. Break
the green crystal lenses (Leaping Saber Slash works well) and
continue on. fight some guys, break through the lenses again.
Eventually you will get to a room with a lot of guys (this is
in the third segment.)

Kill them, and take cover behind something (against those
floor turrets.) There will be a door you can lock on to. Use
force grip to open it up and then move through.

Okay, just go down this tube, you don't even need to kill these guys,
just continue on, though the chamber directly to your right houses
a JEDI HOLOCRON (sphere), and another side chamber to the right
(further down) houses another JEDI HOLOCRON (points).
Continue on, and you'll reach a dead end.

There is a JEDI HOLOCRON (Points) in the firing tube,
and a pair of spinning gyroscopes. Drop down the cliff to
pick up a JEDI HOLOCRON (sphere), then use the side exit to
catch a lift which will bring you back up top.

Wait for the laser to finish firing, then stand near the cliff and Force
grip. You need to lock the three rings into place, which will extend a
bridge. Double Jump-dash over and land, hide (laser will fire,) then do
the same thing to the next pair of Rings, Grabbing the free
JEDI HOLOCRON (points) in mid-air. Exit through the
right side chamber, and follow the path.

Okay, you are now in an absolutely MASSIVE chamber. Drop
down, take out two AT-STs,then Force grip the glowing
generator into place. This will activate anti gravity
lifts. Stand in one and float on up!

Now, the main thing you want to do is to get to the big central black
ring, where you'll fight several royal guards and a SHADOW Guard, then
Force Grip the Ring to open it. However, there are several smaller
platforms around with snipers and PURGE troopers, so you can feel
free to take care of them if you need points. There are also Sith
Holocrons littered throughout the area.

JEDI HOLOCRONS: One of the sniping platforms has a holocron
(points.) Another is on the highest laser tube. To get there,
you need to double-jump-dash from the highest ring of the
anti-grav lift to the little metal housing that encases the array,
but it'll be worth it as it's the BLACK LIGHTSABER CRYSTAL!
A third one is on the platform with the guards (sphere)

Cutscene . . . VADER

Boss Fight, Vader:

Vader is, understandably, tough. You WILL die. His fight comes in three
parts. First is just you and him fighting outside a room. If he lifts
you into the air, press circle like CRAZY because it's very hard to stop
him from throwing you around like a rag doll. Once you hurt him enough,
he'll go to another room

The second part is easier. He'll stand on a central platform,
grab some junk, and try to beat you with it. Zap him when he
does this, and he'll drop what he was force gripping. When
your not zapping, keep your guard up, as he'll occasionally throw
his lightsaber. If you try to jump to him on his platform, he'll
continually lift you into the air until you fail your test,
he won't even let you land, cheap little so-and-so.

Eventually he will pull your little platform down into the heat, so you
will be forced to jump to his platform, and he'll jump away. Follow him
and fight your dual. It's very tough, but you should manage to pull
through after a few tries. Remember the technique with Kaztan Paratas.
Get into that 'deadlock animation' (where you deadlock for a few seconds,
then spin away) and then blast him with lightning. If you can win
against his Lightning deadlock test you'll inflict a fair bit of damage.
Also remember your Leaping slash, he won't jump so it's a good bit for
you. QTE, Cutscene, Kota was lying! His connection to the force
WASN'T CUT!

ALTERNATE STRADEGY (via Atom Robot)
Atom Robot assures me that beating Vader can be done in a cheap way,
and I've done this before, but it's time consuming. Simply block
everything he throws at you (you have to have enough force
points to sustain his constant force grips)
and, when he glows red and charges up, jump behind him.
After he releases the blast, he's vulnerable for a moment.
Make him pay!

Okay, now you have the cliche light side Dark side ending choice:

Jump down, Kill Vader (Dark Side)
Vader has full health, as do you, it's pretty much the same fight you
just fought. Damn, I hate Vader. Freaking' cool QTE at the end.

Run to the left, fight Palpatine (Light Side)
Palpatine, having his Lightsaber just stolen, is forced to rely on sith
lightning against you. This is how the fight goes. Fair warning, you
WILL die against him.

Palpatine can move pretty freaking' fast for an old dude. Get a few hits
on him while he's dodging around. Occasionally he'll surround himself in
a purple shield and throw stuff at you. Get behind a wall when he does
this. Occasionally he'll surround himself in a purple shield and summon
guards, kill them and be thankful for the health when he does this.

Most of the time he'll force lightning you. This is pretty bad if you
don't know the trick. The trick is, of course, to hit block when he does
this. Sometimes you'll concentrate the lightning in your lightsaber and
toss it back at him, dealing a fair amount of damage to him, and taking
only minimal damage yourself. Once you do him in, QTE for the finish.

ALTERNATE STRADEGY: From Jonathan Miller, I haven't tested this one out.
Use Force Repulse next to Palpatine when he summons the junk to him,
and it'll push it away before he can throw it.

Congrats, you just beat the game!

Section 4: FAQ

Well, I don't have any questions yet, as I just made the walkthrough, so
here are some questions I'd imagine I'd get:

Q) What are the best Upgrades to get?
A) Everyone plays the game differently, and all, or nearly all upgrades
are useful at some point. However, I have to say Lightning (at least lvl
2) and the Sith Dark Side Combo (Attack, hold, attack, hold, attack,
hold) are my personal favorites and are almost indispensable for me.

Q) What's the best way to deal with those PURGE troopers?
A)Lightning Lvl 2 or 3 works wonders. Just stand next to them and Blast
the crap outta them. Run away, let your force recharge, and do it again.
The Aerial slam (Attack attack attack, circle(hold)) uprade works well
too, as it will throw them to the ground, where you can stab them. It
can be hard to pull off though.

Q) I keep dying on boss X!
A) I don't know what to tell you. Some of the bosses in the game are
just downright HARD, Kaztan Paratas and Vader in particular. Just keep
doing your best and try to find every cheap combo in the game to throw at
them.

Q) Pulling down that Star Destroyer . . .
A) Is very boring, yes, I know. If there is a better way out there, tell
me, but this is the best way I've found. If you have high health, let a
few of the TIE fighters hit you to give you a few extra milliseconds of
pulling down for that extra bit of damage.

UPDATE) So fifty BAJILLION people emailed me about this, apparently
you can Force Grab or Force Lightning the TIE fighters for a
much Quicker battle.

1.0 - INTRODUCTION
:==========================================================================:

Many Call of Duty fans were skeptical when they received news that Call of
Duty 3 was being developed by Treyarch, the producers behind COD2: Big Red
One, a game which left much to be desired in gameplay and campaign mode, as
well as multiplayer combat. But gamers were left stunned and surprised when
CoD3 first shipped, offering a slew of spectacular new features, graphics,
gameplay, and physics that did everything but blow CoD2 out of the water. The
game focuses primarily on the Normandy Breakout Campaign, from the Battle of
St. Lo to the Liberation of Paris, allowing the player to play as American,
British, Canadian, and Polish characters. As far as weapons are concerned,
they look and feel better than ever, yet also perform quite differently than
their Call of Duty 2 counterparts. The inclusion of vehicles into CoD3 gives
the player an even wider arsenal of firepower to use against opponents in
both single and multi-player game modes.

With a drastic increase from the 8 person multiplayer to an astounding 24
player war, it would be logical to assume that the firepower made available
to the player would have increased as well. But to the surprise of many, the
multiplayer arsenal has suffered a great reduction. Gone are the G43 (still
remains in campaign), M1 Carbine, and Grease Gun, as well as the entire
British and Russian weapon sets, leaving the player with only a basic
selection of US and German firearms.

The reason for this is Treyarch's emphasis on Class or "Kit Selection,"
basically meaning that with every weapon comes a special ability available
only to that particular class. For instance, a Rifleman has the ability to
attach a Rifle grenade to the end of his barrel, while a Sniper has the
ability to call in Artillery strikes.

For this guide, each individual weapon will be explored, analyzed, and noted
for historical references, while weapons included in multiplayer will be
matched with their appropriate Kit.

:==========================================================================:
1.1 – Changes from Call of Duty 2
:==========================================================================:

Compared to COD2, combat seems to have changed from small, restricted
skirmishes to full-fledged battles, with dozens of character models and
vehicles on screen at a time. The most noticeable change in terms of weapon
handling is the "focus vision" while aiming down the sights (see 1.2). The
weapons also feel slightly harder to use with pin-point accuracy, and should
often be used to suppress the enemy, rather than take down with one well
placed shot.

----------
CHANGES
----------

-All weapons are remodeled and simply appear shinier and smoother
-Some sounds have changed, while others have been salvaged from COD2: BRO
-In multiplayer, only your secondary weapon can be exchanged for a new one
-Sniper Rifles must now exit scoped mode to cycle the bolt
-Climb on top of tanks and disable with a grenade (multiplayer)
-Grenade buttons are different for single and multi-player (see 8.0)
-Grenades can be cooked
-Enemy grenades can now be picked up and thrown back (campaign only)
-MP44 name changed to Stg44
-FG42 and Scoped FG42 added to single player
-Anti Personnel Mines and sticky grenades added to multiplayer
-Scoped G43 removed, G43 removed from multiplayer
-M1 Carbine and Grease Gun removed
-Sprint takes the place of binoculars in multiplayer
-Melee attack strengths are different for each weapon
.30 cal and MG34 added as deployable MGs

In CoD2, a bullet was a bullet, no matter which weapon it was being launched
from or from what distance it was being fired from. Now, however, a player
can tell the difference between a 9mm Lugar and a 30-06. These changes in
ballistics seem somewhat unrealistic, but contribute gameplay-wise by
highlighting each weapon's strengths and weaknesses.

This basically means that one weapon cannot be used as an all-purpose death-
machine, but transforms it into a firearm exclusive to its given class,
making teamwork all the more important.

:===========================================================================:
1.2 – Aiming Down the Sights
:===========================================================================:

The aiming in CoD3 is unlike any other. With a pull of the left trigger, your
character will bring his weapon up to his shoulder and pear down the iron
sights. But this time, the only thing you will be able to see clearly is your
target. The rest is blurred out.

The only problem is that your target can be anything, whether it's a lonely
street lamp or a German MG42 gunner BEHIND the street lamp, whose bullets are
blowing out chunks of pavement in front of you. This is sometimes a problem,
as you may find yourself in many similar occasions where your opponent is
blocked by an obstructive object in your field of vision.

Additionally, switching from one target to the next is a bit more tricky, not
only because of the previously mentioned aspect, but also because your weapon
does not seem to stop immediately after you let go of the stick, seeming to
obey Newton's law of motion. While all of these features seem to contribute
to the realism of CoD3, they certainly don't make anything easier, and
emphasize more on individual player skill.

The iron sights themselves have undergone change, as well. Some sights, like
the Lee-Enfield and Kar98k, have shrunk, while others, like the Thompson and
Stg44, have increased in size. It seems that the unpleasant miniature sights
of CoD1 and the drastically magnified sights of CoD2 have reached equilibrium
for CoD3, providing a suitable experience for everyone.

The hit indicators from CoD2 have returned and serve the same purpose as they
did. It appears in the form of an X over your sights or your crosshairs for
every time one of your projectiles connects to a player or vehicle. Also, a
recognizable audio cue accompanies this indicator with the sound of a bullet
tearing through human flesh, no matter how far away you are from a target.

:===========================================================================:
1.3 - Strength Indicators
:===========================================================================:

Much like the system in CoD2, all weapons that appear in multiplayer are
given six areas of categorization to determine the best circumstances in
which to use the weapon. The categories are:

-Damage: indicates how much firepower a weapon is packing. Typically, light
weapons such as Pistols, SMGs, and Rifles will have the least, while power
weapons like the Trench Gun, Sniper Rifles, and Anti-Armor weapons will have
the most

-Range: determines the effective kill radius that a weapon should be used at.
Since all bullets have the same trajectory, this category is determined by
how far the line of sight zooms in while in ADS.

-Accuracy: shows how steady a weapon stays while aiming down the sights and
shot placement on fully automatic weapons.

-Melee: indicates how powerful a melee attack will be on the receiving end of
the blow. Larger weapons tend to have the most strength from a melee attack.

-Speed: tells how fast a player can move with a specific weapon. Submachine
Guns and pistols allow you to move the fastest, whereas heavier weapons like
.30cals and MG34s restrict movement.

-Rate of Fire: determines the amount of lead being propelled downrange per
second. Most bolt action rifles and the Trench Gun have the slowest rate of
fire, while automatic and semi-automatic weapons have faster firing rates.

These characteristics help classify the weapons and clarify their special
abilities, allowing the player to take a tactical approach on the situation.
If you are striving for high accuracy and fast movement from one sniping spot
to the next, you should opt to use the Scout class, or if you need to provide
lots of suppressive fire with lots of ammunition and a blistering rate of
fire, the Support class is the way to go. For every given scenario, there is
a weapon set that corresponds.

:===========================================================================:
2.0 – PISTOLS
:===========================================================================:

While not the most accurate and versatile weapons offered to the soldier, a
pistol is always issued as a standard sidearm for the typical infantryman.
Sometimes, however, you'll feel as if it is there just to prevent a weapon
slot from being empty.

The pistol is exclusive to multiplayer for a reason. It is there so that in
the case of a quick sprint, the player can simply whip out his pistol and
run, no matter which primary weapon he is packing, as the pistol is the
lightest weapon and the quickest to get from point A to point B. It is most
useful to the Anti-Armor class, just in case your target isn't a tank.

:===========================================================================:
2.1 - Colt .45
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Colt M1911A1 Automatic Pistol
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies
Caliber: .45 ACP
Feed mechanism: 7 round clip
Operation: Single action, recoil operated

--------------------------
History of the Colt .45
--------------------------

The Colt Model 1911 was designed by John Moses Browning, a genius when it
comes to firearm design, in 1900 and was adopted by the Colt Company in hopes
that they may interest the US Army with a suitable model. The 1911A1 was
based off of his previous blowback design, still featuring the same
innovative features, but refined as a locked-breech design. The handgun
consisted of three main parts: the barrel, the slide, and the handle. The
slide was locked to the barrel by means of two locking ribs machined into the
top of the barrel which corresponded with two grooves in the slide. When
fully loaded, the user would pull the slide back, which allowed a cartridge
to rise in position to be chambered. The slide would be pushed forward by
means of a return spring, and the breech block would push a cartridge into
the chamber, and lock against the ribs. The hammer, already cocked by the
slide, hit a firing pin inside the breech block, and fired the cartridge. The
recoil of the cartridge hitting the head of the breech block would force the
slide back, which in turn caused the barrel to fall and unlock from the
locking ribs by means of two hinges on the gun body. The extractor on the
breech block then ejected the spent case and allowed the entire process to
restart.

In 1907, a test was conducted by the US Army Ordinance department to find the
most suitable design to adopt. The Colt models came out on top, and were
asked to make refinements to the previous design, which included the
abandonment of the two hinges on the barrel in favor of only one. After more
trials, the Colt was adopted by the US Army as the Colt Model 1911. Minor
modifications in 1921 changed it to the Model 1911A1, which saw service in
WW2, Korea, and Vietnam, and continues to be manufactured worldwide.

-----------------------
The Colt .45 in CoD3
-----------------------

Apart from minor visual modifications, the Colt .45 has remained the same
throughout the CoD series. It is the lightest weapon to run with, still uses
a 7 round clip, and still takes anywhere from 3-5 shots to dispatch a foe. It
reloads at the same speed mid clip as it would while fully depleted. It has
quite a bit of recoil while sustaining rapid fire, so some time between shots
is required to place all rounds on your target.

While aiming down the sights, the rear sight appears as a U-notch, while the
front sight consists of a post, which has been enlarged and raised from the
previous game. The contrast between the two sights is peculiar, as the rear
sight appears dark grey, and the front sight is almost white, which has the
player often focusing on the rear sight. Shots impact just below the tip of
the front sight at distances up to 50 ft.

:===========================================================================:
2.2 - Walther P38
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Walther Pistole Model 1938
Country of Origin: Germany
Available to: Axis
Caliber: 9mm Lugar
Feed mechanism: 8 round clip
Operation: Double Action, recoil operated

-----------------------------
History of the Walther P38
-----------------------------

With the advent of the Lugar in 1908, some criticism followed the birth of
the military sidearm. It was clear that the Lugar '08 was not ideal for mass
production with its delicately machined parts and complex mechanisms, and did
not operate well in a combat environment. The German army began to look for a
replacement pistol, and the response came from the Walther company.

In 1929, Walther had developed the Walther PP, which gained the arms
manufacturer a considerable amount of fame for the pistol's effective
implication of a double action lock on an automatic pistol. Once the German
Army began looking for a replacement to the Lugar, Walther already had a
suitable model, which they planned to convert to 9mm and submit to the
Military. The Army was not in favor of the pistol, however, due to alleged
problems with the Walther PP recoil spring. So Walther began work on a new
design, and came back with a completely different pistol, one that still used
a double action lock, but fired from a locked breech (similar to the Colt
M1911), and featured a wedge below the barrel to hold it firm against the
slide until chamber heat and pressure had dropped to a suitable level. After
a few modifications, the German Army was keen to adopt the new design as P-38
or Pistole Model 38.

The design used the same breech block and slide mechanism as the Colt .45 to
chamber a round, and used a complex safety mechanism that the German army was
especially particular to. Upon engaging the safety mechanism, the firing pin
locked solidly, and if the hammer fell, could not fire a round. Alternately,
using the double action lock, a soldier could chamber a round, then lower the
hammer carefully, and when the time came, un-holster his sidearm and simply
pull the trigger to draw the hammer and release it to fire a round in one
motion.

After the war, the Walther P38 remained in use to some extent by the West
German Armed Forces, and was later replaced. Production of the P38 from 1938
to 1945 topped nearly 1 and a quarter million.

------------------
The P38 in CoD3
------------------

Along with the Colt .45, the P38 has changed very minimally from the last CoD
game. It is still the fastest pistol to run with and just as weak as it ever
was. Considering all aspects, the Colt .45 and P38 are similar in almost
every way (gameplay-wise at least), except for the difference of one more
bullet in the magazine. The only difference is that it feels like the P38
fires at a slightly slower rate than the Colt .45, but shouldn't be much of
an issue since the recoil will cause the weapon to rise after the first shot.
The P38 will take anywhere from 3-5 shots to incapacitate a target.

The sights consist of a rear fixed U-notch and a front Blade sight, very
similar to the Colt .45.

:===========================================================================:
2.3 – Pistol efficiency.
:===========================================================================:

There are probably two main reasons why you should be using a pistol. The
first is that things aren't going too great. You've ran out of ammunition in
your primary weapon or have found yourself in a situation where you primary
weapon is outmatched. The second is that things are going really great, and
that you are putting yourself to the test by using your sidearm. Either way,
I am going to tell you how to effectively use a pistol against your foes.

The first thing you should consider is your situation. Let's say you are a
Scout armed with a sniper rifle and a pistol. The scout class is particular
to medium and long range combat, but when the fight gets up close and
personal, the Sniper Rifle may be rendered useless. Your opponent undoubtedly
has a much more potent weapon. This is a situation where a pistol could
actually be quite useful.

When using a pistol, always try to aim for the head, as recoil will make
multiple shots to the body difficult. The pistol is only accurate to within
50 feet, as any further your shots will tend to disperse. When firing, make
sure that you are not tapping the trigger and shooting above your target.
Allow at least three fourths of a second between shots.

Pistols are also useful for more than just close up fighting. If you need to
cover a large, unknown distance on foot, or you're simply an impatient
person, a pistol is ideal. The light weight of pistols combined with the new
sprint feature to multiplayer will feel as if your character is hopped up on
Red Bull or Monster or some other kind of happy drink.

However, 9 out of 10 times, you will find that you're primary weapon will be
more useful in most situations than a pistol, as this primary weapon will
fire faster, harder, more accurately, or all of the above than your standard
issue sidearm. Pistols are certainly very easy to use, however.

(Another thing that should be noted is your inability to swap both weapons in
your inventory for a scavenged weapon, as this could get in the way of your
class's special ability. The only weapon you are able to trade is your
secondary weapon, or your sidearm.)

:===========================================================================:
3.0 – Rifles
:===========================================================================:

The Rifleman is the backbone of the infantry, serving a healthy combination
of suppressive fire, close range AND long range assault, and tactical combat.
Rifles in CoD3 still serve that same purpose, and despite major visual
enhancements, still perform in basically the same way.

The main difference is the way the sights appear. Most non-scoped rifles have
typically received rear-sight enlargements, while the front sights remain
either the same or smaller. The Kar98k seems to be the most changed by this
(more on that in 3.3). While some fans may not agree on this decision, it
effectively helps new players learn faster and makes using rifles all the
more easier.

Rifles are obviously associated with the Rifleman class, which comes with a
Rifle, a Pistol, and a Rifle Grenade, which attaches to the end of your
barrel (included in 8.6).

Sniper Rifles are linked with the Scout Class, which comes with a sniper
rifle, a pistol, a frag grenade, and binoculars (artillery strike).

:===========================================================================:
3.1 – M1 Garand
:===========================================================================:

Designation: US Rifle M1
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American
Caliber: .30-06 Springfield
Feed mechanism: 8 round En Bloc clip
Operation: Gas operated, closed bolt

---------------------------
History of the M1 Garand
---------------------------

The famous M1 Garand rifle was designed by a Canadian-American named John C.
Garand in the US Army Springfield arsenal from 1922 to 1932, after which it
was adopted by the Army (although mass production didn't begin until 1937).
Garand invented the rifle with certain Army qualifications in mind, such as
the demands of a fixed, non-protruding magazine. To get around this, Garand
used a type of feed mechanism called the "en bloc" clip, a charger-type
system that was inserted into the rifle from the top, designed by John
Pederson. When all rounds were depleted from the magazine, a feed arm would
eject the empty clip from the rifle, producing the Garand's characteristic
"ping" song. Originally chambered for the .276 Pederson cartridge, the Garand
prototypes were later converted to .30 '06 due to ammunition availability.

The M1 Garand was the first semi-automatic rifle ever adopted into widespread
military use. It also implemented a very successful gas-piston system not
commonly seen before in semi-auto rifles. When the first round was fired, a
portion if the expanding gas pressure was diverted to a chamber under the
barrel, and drove a stainless steel piston, which was attached to the
charging rod, back. The charging rod was attached to the bolt, and unlocked
it by means of rotating the bolt head out of two locking grooves on the inner
surface of the breech. The bolt was forced back to cock the hammer, eject the
spent case, and returned by means of a spring on the piston to chamber a new
round. When the last round was fired, the piston was blown back and engaged
an arm which ejected the empty clip from the rifle. This allowed the firer to
quickly insert a new clip and resume firing.

The Garand officially replaced the Springfield in 1936, (although some still
remained in use until Korea) and was the iconic image of the American
infantryman during WW2. A fan of its performance, General George S. Patton
dubbed it "the greatest implement of battle ever devised.) A number of
Garands were converted to sniper variants during WW2 (M1C and M1D), although
these were not as popular as Springfields. The Garand was replaced by the M14
in 1957.

------------------------
The M1 Garand in CoD3
------------------------

Apart from stunning visual alterations, the M1 Garand is practically the same
as it was in CoD2. It feels as if it fires slightly faster, and kills in
about the same amount of shots. In Campaign it only takes about 1 or 2 shots
to effectively put down a target, and in multiplayer it may take 3-4 shots to
incapacitate an opponent if you shoot for the torso. The sound effects sound
a little wimpy on a regular TV, especially the clip ejection, which you may
not even notice. It almost sounds like someone lightly tapping on a triangle.
Aside from disappointing sounds, the Garand is a tough, reliable weapon and
suitable for most combat scenarios.

The sights consist of a rear aperture sight and a blade front sight. The rear
aperture sight is wider around the edges, and more resembles a circular plate
with a hole than a skinny ring like in CoD2. The front sight has decreased in
size just a little bit, but the Garand is still very easy to use.

It has a small degree of recoil, but the barrel will immediately snap back on
target, allowing for quick, efficient fire at close and medium ranges. Even
in a standing position, the Garand is accurate down to the very last pixel,
making the M1 Garand a very good firearm to use at long range.

:===========================================================================:
3.2 – Lee-Enfield
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Rifle, No. 4 Mk. 1, Lee-Enfield
Country of origin: Great Britain
Available to: British, Canadian, Polish
Caliber: .303 British
Feed mechanism: 10 round box magazine
Operation: Lee bolt

-----------------------------
History of the Lee-Enfield
-----------------------------

The history of the entire Lee-Enfield series starts with the Lee-Metford
Rifle of 1889, which followed Lee's prototype design manufactured by
Remington. It was the first bolt action rifle to be fed by a detachable box
magazine, which held 8 cartridges. It was a combination of James Paris Lee's
bolt and magazine with a barrel developed by William Metford to counter
fouling by the current Black-Powder charges. Later, after the adoption of
cordite as the British cartridge, the barrel was converted by the Enfield to
help stop erosion in smokeless powder guns. The result was the Lee-Enfield
Rifle.

Two rifles were manufactured for the British Army: a long, infantry rifle,
and a short, Cavalry carbine. To eliminate the complication of developing two
rifles, a universal rifle was invented, dubbed the SMLE, or "Short, Magazine,
Lee-Enfield." This rifle, developed in 1903, was well designed and was
suitable for both infantry and Cavalry units, and served the British Army
well through the Boer War and WW1. After the War, however, some question and
skepticism from old traditionalists came up whether the rifle was acceptable
to military standards. Plans for a new rifle based off the Mauser began to go
underway, but eventually failed. After that, it appeared that the best choice
would be the SMLE, which remained standard up until WW2. It was clear that
the SMLE was complicated to produce and manufacture in mass quantities, so it
was simplified, the characteristic nose-cap removed and the rear sights moved
back over the bolt-way in the form of an aperture sight. Its new name was the
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.1, first introduced to British troops in 1941.

The No. 4 Lee-Enfield remained in service until it was replaced by the EM2 in
1949. The No.4 was very popular with many countries such as Canada, Poland,
and Australia. It was well known for its ingenious bolt, which featured 2
locking lugs, one on the top and one on the bottom. The bolt head was
attached to a guide on the boltway, and when rotated, would stay in position
and kept the bolt attached. As the bolt was pushed back, the head would catch
another round and push it into the chamber, then locked. It is said that the
Lee-Enfield action features the fastest bolt-operation out of any bolt action
rifle of WW2.

--------------------------
The Lee-Enfield in CoD3
--------------------------

No longer available in multiplayer, the Lee-Enfield is included in a wide
variety of single player missions. It appears smaller than the Lee-Enfield in
CoD2, and simply looks better, not to mention, shinier. It may seem like a
very unusual way to describe a new weapon, but it is actually that simple.
Like most guns in CoD3, the Lee-Enfield looks as if it was submerged in a
thick coat of laminate, and none of the metal is blued.

The sounds are a wee bit of a let down, as it sounds not so much of a "Ker-
Pow!" like CoD2, but more of a "Smack!" Nonetheless, it's still a pretty
satisfying weapon to use. A welcome change to the reload system has been
implemented as well. Now, instead of having to wait for your ammunition to
drop down to 5 rounds to reload, you may now top up the Lee-Enfield at any
time and replenish its stock back to 10. Additionally, you can stop the
insertion of the second stripper clip after reloading. To do this, you simply
need to press the reload button, and then press the right trigger after
loading the first stripper clip, similar to reloading a sniper rifle.

The Iron sights are slightly different. The rear sight has been enlarged and
the aperture has been greatly increased in diameter. The front sight is
smaller, with a center blade and a small post on either side of it. The shot
will land just slightly above the center post, so be sure to keep this in
mind while firing from long range. The bolt takes longer to cycle, as it does
with all bolt action rifles, so also consider this as a factor.

:===========================================================================:
3.3 – Kar98k
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Der Karabiner 1898 Kurz
Country of Origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Feed Mechanism: 5 round integral magazine
Operation: Mauser bolt

------------------------
History of the Kar98k
------------------------

The Mauser brothers were the fathers of the bolt action rifle. During as
early as 1867, Mauser began work on a new design that would outdate muskets
and all other muzzle loaders and replace them with the stunning bolt action.
They sold their design to an American businessman named Samuel Norris for
80,000 francs. Norris attempted to submit this design to the French military,
but did not succeed. Scared that the design would not take, Norris paid the
Mauser brothers his yearly payment and terminated the contract. Incidentally,
France is the only country to never accept a single Mauser.

The Mausers returned to Germany and submitted the design to the Army, which
they were more than happy to accept in 1871. After various refinements to the
design through the late 1800s, the Mausers finally took their design and
implemented it into a new rifle, the GEW 98, which used a powerful 8mm Mauser
cartridge. The G98 was an instant classic around the world, and sold to
various nations as a standard military rifle. After WW1, the Germans, acting
off of previous British intentions, took the Mauser rifle and carbine, and
combined them to form the Mauser Kar98k, very similar to the Lee-Enfield
SMLE. The barrel was reduced from 90cm to 61cm, and the bolt was curved down
so that some Kar98ks may be fitted with a scope.

The Mauser design used a bolt with two locking lugs in the front and one in
the back. The firer would unlock the bolt by rotating it 90 degrees, then
pull back and allow a cartridge to enter the boltway from the integral
magazine. The firer would return the bolt to push a round into the chamber,
and then lock it by pushing it back down. While on the return stroke, the
cocking piece would catch on the sear, pushing against the firing pin spring
until fully cocked. Upon pulling the trigger, the sear would allow the
cocking piece to release and fire the round.

The Mauser was adopted and manufactured by dozens of nations around the
world. It became the iconic image of the Third Riech and paved the way for
many rifles like the Springfield and the Lee-Enfield, as well as the entire
history of bolt-action rifles.

---------------------
The Kar98k in CoD3
---------------------

The Kar98k is still a strong, faithful bolt-action rifle that can be found
everywhere in the single and multiplayer modes. It has stayed relatively
similar to the CoD2 version, still holds 5 rounds, and still kills in 1-2
shots. In the hands of an expert, a Kar98k can be used to inflict bloody
carnage upon an entire squad of opponents. While it does take longer to cycle
the bolt, the rifle will snap back to the precise spot that you left it.
Cycling the bolt itself is smoother and crisper, and ultimately more
satisfying, and the sounds are actually quite dashing.

The most that's changed from CoD2 to CoD3 is the iron sights. Both sights
have shrunk, probably to balance multiplayer, and the rear sight has changed
from a wide U-notch to a tiny little V-notch, while the front sight has
changed from a hooded post to a lone blade. Aiming shouldn't be too
different, but it isn't exactly the same. The sights are more akin to CoD2:
BRO sights.

Reloading is much faster. In fact, it is almost as fast as just cycling the
bolt, which makes keeping up a sustained stream of fire all the more easier.
All in all, the Kar98k is a good, solid weapon that is easy to use.

:===========================================================================:
3.4 – G43
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Gewehr 1943
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Feed Mechanism: 10 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Gas operated

---------------------
History of the G43
---------------------

The development of the G43 was actually effected by Germany's encounter with
the Russian SVT-40 models on the Eastern Front. These rifles offered more
firepower than the Kar98k and outclassed it in battle. Combat with the
American M1 Garand and M1 Carbine on the Western Front also brought to
realization that the Kar98k was no longer the best rifle in the world. Mauser
and Walther both got to work on developing a suitable semi-automatic for the
German Army. The G41 submitted by Walther seemed to be the best choice, if
not for the complex gas system, built around the Bang Rifle, which trapped
the gas as it expanded from the muzzle. In 1943, Walther submitted their
revised design with an improved gas-piston system similar to Tokarev model
rifles, and also replaced the integral 10 round system with a removable 10
round clip. The G43 entered service in 1943, and quickly proved to be an
accurate, reliable, and powerful semi-automatic rifle. Typically, semi-
automatic rifles were not as well suited to sniping and long range combat as
bolt-action rifles, but the G43 proved to be an exception, 53,000 of which
were fitted with scopes.

The G43 operated very similar to SVT-40 rifles and the M1 Garand, in which a
gas piston chamber ran over the barrel to drive the bolt back and eject the
spent case. But instead of the recoil spring around the gas piston, it ran
behind the bolt. A charging handle mounted along the top was attached to the
bolt carrier, which contained the bolt (duh). The bolt was attached to a
mainspring and when it recoiled, compressed the spring and pushed it against
the buffer. The spring drove the bolt back and chambered another round.

The G43 remained in service until the wars end, and was very popular among
infantry and sniper units. Although produced on a large scale, the G43 never
replaced the Kar98k because the German Army needed every firearm they could
get their hands on.

------------------
The G43 in CoD3
------------------

Only available in certain campaign levels, the G43 has changed quite a bit.
The first thing you'll notice is that it feels kind of stupid in your hands.
It lacks the pristine shine of other weapons, and isn't all that pretty to
look at. Despite awkward visual alterations, though, the G43 isn't all that
bad of a weapon. It takes 1-2 shots to kill, has a ten round clip, and
reloads fast. But on the down side, it fires at a much slower rate than in
CoD2. Players used to the G43 in the previous game may be used to its
relatively fast rate of fire, and may overestimate its new firing rate.

The iron sights have greatly increased in size, and still consist of a rear
V-notch and a front hooded post. At close to medium range, the G43 performs
quite nicely, but at long range it feels very hard to aim and place accurate
shots. It also has more recoil than you would expect. Nonetheless, the G43 is
worth picking up due to ammunition availability.

3.4 – Scoped Springfield
:===========================================================================:

Designation: US Rifle M1903A4
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American
Caliber: .30-06 Springfield
Feed Mechanism: 5 round integral magazine
Operation: Mauser Bolt

-----------------------------
History of the Springfield
-----------------------------

Looking for a replacement for the trap-door Springfield, an old, outdated
single-shot rifle, the US examined at least 50 different models of rifles in
1892 and finally adopted the Krag-Jorgenson, a rather hasty decision. During
the Spanish American War in 1898, it was made clear that the American Krag
rifle was simply outclassed and inferior to the latest Mauser G98 models.
After the War, the US Army Ordinance department began to test the Mauser, and
decided that it was an ideal system to build a rifle around. It is not
exactly clear on how the rights were obtained from Mauser, whether the design
was stolen and later paid off or if Mauser gave a license to the Springfield
Armory for production, but the Mauser brothers were paid $200,000 dollars for
the design anyways. In 1903, Springfield had submitted their design, which
was accepted and designated the M1903.

Like the Lee-Enfield, the Springfield was a "short" rifle model with a 61cm
barrel suited for Infantry and Cavalry use. The Bolt and magazine were
identical to the Mauser bolt, with two locking lugs in the front and one in
the rear, perfect to fire the powerful .30cal Springfield rifle cartridge.
However, the bolt was also like the Mauser in which it had to be rotated a
full 90 degrees to unlock, unlike the Lee-Enfield, which only needed to be
rotated by half of that.

During 1905 and 06, the Springfield was refitted to use a different bayonet
and different sights, as well as upgrading the ammunition to a 150 grain ball
ammunition, designated the .30-06. Various models were produced, such as the
Model 1903A3 with sights moved to the back in the form of aperture sights, as
well as the implication of the Type-S stock, and the 1903A4, hand-selected
for accuracy, with the removal of the iron sights in the place of an M73 and
later an M84 telescopic 2.2x scope. These rifles were technically replaced by
the M1 Garand in 1937, but still remained in use as a popular snipers weapon
until the end of the Korean War.

---------------------------------
The Scoped Springfield in CoD3
---------------------------------

The Springfield is the Allies' sniper weapon, and is excellent in fulfilling
that roll. It is laser-accurate, retaining the ability to click the left
thumb-stick to hold your breathe and steady your aim. Visuals and sounds are
very different from CoD2. The graphics are actually one of the cons of the
rifle, as sometimes you may find yourself admiring the weapon's beauty
instead of watching for targets. The firing sounds and bolt operation have
been salvaged from CoD2: BRO.

The scope consists of two thin lines intersecting each other in the very
middle (marking the exact point of impact), one vertical and the other
horizontal. Three smaller lines intersect the bottom of the vertical line and
either side of the horizontal line, helping to box single targets and assist
aiming. (Note that this scope configuration is generic in all sniper rifles.)

The scope shakes wildly while not holding your breathe to steady your aim,
but it swirls in a fairly predictable pattern, so it is not always necessary
to hold your breathe. After each shot, you now exit zoom-mode to cycle the
bolt. Realistic, yet also allows your target to get away if you missed. Note
to sniper: don't miss!

3.5 – Scoped Lee-Enfield
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Rifle, No.4 Mk.1(T), Lee-Enfield
Country of Origin: Great Britain
Available to: British, Canadian, and Polish
Caliber: .303 British
Feed Mechanism: 10 round box magazine
Operation: Lee bolt

------------------------------------
History of the Scoped Lee-Enfield
------------------------------------

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.1 Rifles tended to vary in accuracy. A battle rifle's
main role in an infantry unit was to (or at least back in the times of the
Great Wars) fill the air with enough lead at long enough ranges in hopes that
one round may find a target. This was the case with rifles such as the M1
Garand, Kar98k, Lee-Enfield, and Mosin-Nagant. However, as I said just
previously, accuracy varied within these rifles, and occasionally, one
distinguished itself from the rest.

Sniper Rifles are not a new idea. The concept of sharp-shooting first arose
with the acceptance of a rifled barrel during the mid 19th century, when iron-
sights first began to show up on modern breech loaders. It had already
occurred to the general public and various hunters and shooters that by
equipping a rifled gun with a telescope or monocular that accuracy could
improve by astronomical scale. Although scoped rifles were at first pretty
non-regulation with military rifles, by the First World War, sharp-shooters
were already using a telescopic sight to engage targets at up to 1200 meters.

The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.1 would typically go through a number of firing tests
before being packaged and shipped to appropriate arms dealers. One such test
pitted a Lee-Enfield against a 1x1 meter white square target at a range of
300 meters. If the rifle performed within certain parameters, then the rifle
was accepted and the guidelines slightly adjusted, this time being shot at
the same target at distances of up to 600 meters, scope not included. If the
rifle fired in groups of no more than a 10-inch diameter, the rifle was hand-
selected to be fitted with the No.32 British sniper Scope.

Only a handful of these rifles made the cut for the sniper conversion
program, which was conducted at both the Royal Arms Factory in England and
the Holland & Holland manufacturers in Canada. These rifles were distributed
to British snipers in distinct Sniper Programs or in regular infantry squads.
The 3.5x scope increased the effective range of the Lee-Enfield to 800
meters.

---------------------------------
The Scoped Lee-Enfield in CoD3
---------------------------------

Good thing the Scoped Lee-Enfield still uses the 5-round stripper clips to
reload instead of 1 round at a… wait. It DOESN'T! Blasphemy!

Yes, it's a sad truth. The Lee-Enfield is now equipped with the authentic
No.32 scope instead of the peculiar offset scope from CoD2. Now, even with
the hefty 10 round clip, you must reload the Enfield one agonizing round at a
time. Thus, as a rule, you should never fire more than five shots from the
scoped Lee-Enfield before reloading, or you will have to suffer the
consequences.

The Scoped Lee-Enfield looks and sounds exactly the same as the regular Lee-
Enfield, except for the 3.5x Scope mounted on the top. The scope
configuration is the same as the Springfield, so further explanation is not
necessary. You'll find that the scoped Lee-Enfield is very exclusive in the
single-player campaign, and unfortunately does not make an appearance in
multiplayer.

:===========================================================================:
3.6 – Scoped Kar98k
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Der Karabiner 1898 Kurz
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Feed mechanism: 5 round integral magazine
Operation: Mauser bolt

-------------------------------
History of the Scoped Kar98k
-------------------------------

The Kar98k was a commonly accurate weapon for a battle rifle. While this was
of course affected by the quality of the breech, chamber, bore, and
ammunition, the Germans were more than capable of succeeding in high quality
production.

Kar98k rifles are fitted with 60cm barrels, and went through the same kind of
testing as other battle rifles like the Springfield and Lee-Enfield to
determine exactly what degree of accuracy an individual rifle was packing.
These rifles were then modified to be fitted with scope mounts and the
standard German 4x scope. These remained the most commonly encountered German
sniper rifles throughout the war, and easier to manufacture than the
expensive G43 sniper variant. The Kar98k, equipped with scope, was accurate
at up to 800 meters.

----------------------------
The Scoped Kar98k in CoD3
----------------------------

Your typical sniper rifle, the scoped Kar98k performs almost identically to
the scoped Springfield, with differences, of course, to the sounds and
visuals. The sounds are only slightly different than the regular Kar98k
model, and the weapon looks the same as well. The scope is essentially of the
same layout as any other sniper rifle in CoD3.

In multiplayer, you must zoom out of scoped mode to cycle the bolt, just as
you would with the Springfield. Accuracy is perfect, and will land on the
exact pixel that you aim for. With a slow rate of fire, low magazine
capacity, and extreme accuracy, the Kar98k (and Springfield) are well suited
to sniping.

:===========================================================================:
3.8 – Rifleman and Sniper Efficiency
:===========================================================================:

These two classes are similar in that they are both relied on to provide well
placed shots for an infantry unit. But they differ quite a bit.

------------
Riflemen
------------

No longer are bolt action and semi-automatic rifles so similar. With the
increased rate of fire of the Garand and the decreased rate of the Kar98k,
the two rifles are on quite different ends of the deal.

Using the Garand, a player is relativity safe at most ranges, and can run
with the rest of the infantry squad. However, the Garand is no match for the
sniper rifle at long range and cannot hold its own against a submachine gun
at close range. It focuses on a good mixing of all these characteristics.
With a Garand, you have the advantage of power and speed, where if a player
rounds the corner, a few quick taps of the trigger will stop him in his
tracks. But a rifleman armed with a Garand should typically keep his distance
and find key areas to defend, allowing him to pick off targets from available
cover or from the prone position.

While engaging targets, the rifleman should only expose himself to one
opponent at a time, as you have much better chances with a one on one duel
than a three on one massacre. These conditions are ideal when cover is
available or you are in the prone position, as you are exposing as little of
your body as possible, making you a much smaller target.

Armed with the Kar98k, a player should opt for long range combat rather than
frontline warfare. Using a Kar98k to pick off targets from a safe distance,
you may even surprise yourself with your performance. The Kar98k is powerful
and easy to use, but only under certain circumstances. Again, the player
should use cover or the prone position to his advantage, and find areas easy
to defend or areas guarded by other teammates with a wider variety of
weapons. When using the Kar98k, try to aim for the head, as risking a body
shot could give away your position if you target survives, and leaves you
vulnerable while working the bolt.

You also have the option to attach a rifle grenade as your class's special
ability. The amount of rifle grenades you can carry depends on a players
rank, and can be useful in some situations. It will take a while to predict
the trajectory of the grenade, and it is sometimes difficult to get a kill,
as splash damage isn't that large.

------------------
Scoped rifleman
------------------

Scoped riflemen should still abide by the same rules as the regular rifleman,
but should elaborate on his or her own personal tactics. Finding good spots
to hide and well camouflaged areas is important to good sniper efficiency,
but these have to be found on your own.

Becoming proficient with the scope is also important. You should notice that
the actual image presented in your window of vision does not move while in
scoped mode, it is the actual frame of the scope that sways and swings
around. This is actually easier to master than the system in CoD2 and you may
not even need to use the hold-breath function (left thumb-stick), as you
should be able to predict the scope's movement.

A nifty tactic that the sniper can use is his binoculars (usually used to
call in artillery strikes, and used with the right bumper) to spot targets
instead of his sniper scope. This is handy because, when prone or hidden, you
are less conspicuous to the human eye than a player with a rifle sticking
outward. Since you are typically trained to look for a rifle sticking out of
a bush or a blade of grass somewhere when searching for snipers, you will
traditionally pass right over a player in the prone position with binoculars.

Another neat tactic I generally deploy is the use of a critically wounded
enemy's body as bait for medics. If a medic sees a downed teammate (one that
you have shot and still have in your sights), they will rush over to heal
their fallen comrade. It is even acceptable to let them heal their teammate
before you kill them, so you are set up for a possible triple kill.

Additionally, a sniper can use an artillery strike to take out armored
convoys. The strength of the strike is determined by your rank.

:===========================================================================:
4.0 – SUBMACHINE GUNS
:===========================================================================:

A German general in WW1, von Hutier, had developed an infantry tactic called
"Storm-Trooping" where a squad of highly trained soldiers would push through
the infantry lines to disable enemy positions and strongholds while mobile.
To do this, von Hutier needed a weapon that was automatic, very light and
small, and suitable for short-range combat. At the time, the only automatic
weapons were heavy machine guns and automatic rifles. So von Hutier made
plans to develop a new type of weapon, and the submachine gun was born.

Submachine guns are pretty much the same in CoD3 as they were in CoD2,
although some changes are very noticeable. It seems as if SMGs have a much
longer range than they did in CoD2. The sights have been enlarged since CoD2,
and recoil has been drastically reduced.

Submachine Guns are given to the Light Support Class, which includes an SMG,
a pistol, an AP mine, and a sticky grenade.

:===========================================================================:
4.1 – Thompson
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Thompson M1A1
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American
Caliber: .45 ACP
Rate of fire: 700 rpm
Feed mechanism: 20 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Blowback, open bolt

--------------------------
History of the Thompson
--------------------------

Brigadier General John T. Thompson first set out with the goal of developing
a successful, fully automatic rifle, using a blowback action. His main goal
was to develop this rifle to be accepted into military service, but the
military had strict standards for cartridges, and Thompson found that the
blowback action couldn't handle the .30-06. He contacted a Commander Blish,
who had developed a complex recoil design, to help solve the problem. With
the aid of two men, Theodore Eickhoff and Oscar Payne, Blish and Thompson
formed the Auto-Ordinance Co.

Thompson soon found that the .30-06 was not suitable for his design, but
realized that the current .45 ACP pistol cartridge worked quite nicely with
Blish's blowback design. His invention used a bolt containing what he called
an H-piece, which took advantage of the closed-bolt firing function. With a
round chambered, the H-piece rode up into a grove in the gun body, locking
the bolt. When the round fired, sudden heat and pressure from the expanding
gasses forced the H-piece to lock solidly until heat and pressure dropped, at
which point the H-piece fell and allowed the bolt to recoil. Thompson created
his weapon around this and offered it to the U.S. Army in 1921, calling it
the "Trench Broom." The Army was not fond of this design, because there was
no use for the weapon at the time.

Thompson then put his gun on the market as a name that he had dubbed
"Submachine Gun." He had no idea that the term would follow this category of
weapons throughout history. The weapon caught on with gangs and became
infamous for its use in the 20s. Thompson had Colt manufactured some of the
weapons, and designated them the Thompson SMG. The Army finally began to see
use for the Thompson in the years preceding WW2, and adopted it as a standard
military weapon. During wartime, two models were manufactured, the M1
introduced in 1942 and the M1A1 in 1943, both scrapping the complex Blish
lock in favor of a simple recoil-operated open bolt. The Thompson was an
immense success and was one of the first SMG designs in history.

-----------------------
The Thompson in CoD3
-----------------------

The Thompson has undergone a number of changes, but none of them include the
re-introduction of the 30 round clip. It still features the much-to-be-
desired 20 round clip, which is depleted at 700 rounds a minute faster than a
heartbeat. You'll also find that the recoil is greatly reduced, and is much
more controlled, making short-bursts at long range very effective.

The sights are still the same, but much larger, more similar to CoD2: BRO
than CoD2. They feature a rear V-notch (the aperture sight isn't used) and a
front blade notch, which is a lot easier to see and much larger. In a way,
the Thompson has been made into a fast-firing, low recoil, light, long range
and easy to use weapon. The only problem is it may take anywhere from 4-5
shots to kill a target.

The Thompson's initial recoil is very controlled, and should be fired in 3 or
5 round bursts, as it is most effective at that. It can even be used with
single shots at long range. It seems as if most SMGs have been improved to
fire at longer ranges, but only function well with short bursts of fire.

:===========================================================================:
4.2 – Sten Gun
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Sten Mk.II
Country of origin: Great Britain
Available to: British, Canadian, and Polish
Caliber: 9mm Lugar
Rate of fire: 550 rpm
Feed mechanism: 32 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Blowback, open bolt

--------------------------
History of the Sten gun
--------------------------

After America's entrance into the War in 1941, Thompson shipments were
becoming fewer and fewer as the need for them by the U.S. Army drastically
increased. Due to high demand for the Thompson SMG and also the realization
that a much larger military force was required to take on the Nazi war
machine, the Enfield Arms factory was called upon to provide a simple, cheap,
and effective replacement submachine gun.

The word "Sten" is an abbreviation, combining the first letter of the two
men's names responsible for the design, Major R. V. Shepard, and Mr. Harold
Turpin, with the first two letters of Enfield, to produce the Sten gun. Their
design was so simple, it was hard to believe that the Sten gun could operate
with less than 50 total parts on the entire weapon. It was incredibly easy to
manufacture, and did not require a whole lot of precision or high quality
craftsmanship. Ammunition was in good supply, as it was chambered for the
German 9mm Lugar, so ammunition could be captured from MP40s. It seemed as if
the Enfield factory had pulled it off. But dozens of imperfections quickly
followed the Sten into combat.

The Sten gun was essentially a metal tube with an inverted magazine housing
that was fitted horizontally, with a wire frame stock and a trigger. The
troops often referred to it as the plumber's nightmare, due to its
unreliability and resemblance to a plumbing tube. The Mk.II got rid of any
wooden parts in favor of all metal, and the barrel sleeve was shortened and
perforated to prevent overheating. The gun was recoil operated and fired from
the open bolt. There was always risk of dirt getting into the charging slot,
not to mention the delicate magazine design made it susceptible to jamming
quite frequently. The horizontally fed magazine was easily damaged, and any
pressure could cause it to feed improperly.

The Sten gun's main problem was its risk of misfires and accidental fires.
Any kind of moderate jarring, common in most combat situations, resulted in
the unlocking of the bolt and firing the gun, continuing to fire and sputter
dangerously on the ground until someone removed the magazine. Sometimes the
gun would fire even when the firer had taken his finger off the trigger, or
sometimes wouldn't fire at all. The Sten sure was a little bundle of joy.
Nevertheless, the British Army adopted it in 1941 all the way until the 60s
when replaced by the Sterling SMG. It is interesting to note that it was
first discovered that by using a device called a silencer, the 9x19mm round
could be slowed down to sub-sonic speeds, resulting in the first silenced
weapon in history, first tested on the Sten.

-----------------------
The Sten gun in CoD3
-----------------------

The Sten was glorified in Call of Duty 2 to a higher standard than what most
historical records have ever proved. It was a tough, effective, and reliable
weapon and was liked by many players. But all of that is gone now, and the
Sten has been shamed once more.

Aside from looking pretty sexy in the hands of the British SAS Sergeant to
which we are first introduced this weapon, and the new, attractive sounds,
the Sten is actually a very low-performance weapon. It has a laughably low
damage factor for campaign mode, and may take as many as 5 shots to kill 1
German soldier. As a rule of thumb, don't stop firing until you see your
opponent drop.

Something that distinguishes the Sten from the Thompson and MP40 is that it
behaves the most like an SMG than any of them. It is inaccurate at ranges
farther than 50 ft, and takes more rounds to incapacitate a target at longer
distances. The Iron sights, unlike in CoD2, are perfectly aligned with the
top of the gun instead of offset slightly to the left. The rear sight is an
aperture sight, enlarged slightly, and the front is a blade, the very tip
marking the impact point.

However weak and inaccurate the Sten Gun is, you may find it quite useful in
many close range combat situations, like urban and house-to-house combat.
Then again, weapons in CoD3 aren't really allowed to jam or misfire as much
as the Sten really did, so that's not saying that it can't easily be
substituted for weapons like the MP40.

:===========================================================================:
4.3 – MP40
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Maschinenpistole 1940
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 9mm Lugar
Rate of fire: 500 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 32 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Blowback, open bolt

----------------------
History of the MP40
----------------------

Remember the German General, von Hutier, mentioned in the introduction to
submachine guns? The needs for his specific weapon were at the time being
filled by a German weapon designer named Hugo Schmeisser. He had been working
on a design that would expand on an automatic pistol to enhance it for trench
warfare, but found that the pistol frame was too light to take the punishment
of fully automatic. He built his gun around the 9 x 19mm Lugar round. The
result was a short barreled gun with a perforated barrel jacket and a thick
gun body, fed by a 20 round clip horizontally into the side, and a wooden
stock. It used a simple blowback design, where the bolt was pulled back and
locked against a return spring. When the trigger was pulled, the bolt would
release and shoot forward, pushing a round into the chamber and fire it. The
recoil would push the bolt back and eject the cartridge, and lock again
against the sear, or, if the trigger was still depressed, repeat the process.

Unlike the U.S. Army, the German army acted more enthusiasticly towards this
gun, and adopted it in 1918. This only served in the very end of WW1. Various
designs were derived from the MP18, and perhaps the most famous would be the
MP40. The MP40 used a staggered box magazine of 32 rounds, and used a
slightly different recoil system than the MP18. The bolt was built over a
telescoping long-recoil spring that used the same open-bolt principles as the
MP18. The MP40 was considerably lighter than the MP18 and was the first to
use an all metal stock with no wooden components. The weapon was even
nicknamed the "Schmeisser" to commemorate the man who developed the MP18.

The MP40 saw extensive use by the Wermacht during WW2, and while it had some
jamming problems with the 32 round magazines, was a tough and reliable
weapon. It became the image of the Third Reich, and was always associated
with Nazi Germany. It remained in service until the end of WW2.

-------------------
The MP40 in CoD3
-------------------

The first time you pick up an MP40 in CoD3 (which will be very soon, as these
weapons are plentiful), you will notice a few graphical and audio changes
from the previous Call of Duty, but will ultimately find that it is the same
gun. It still fires at a good 500 rounds per minute, and is still just as
powerful as it was before. But with most SMGs, it has considerably less
recoil to start out with, making sustained fire very manageable, with only
slight adjustments to aim along the way.

The MP40 uses a rear tangent U-notch, and a front hooded blade. The sights
have been enlarged and made easier to use. The tip of the blade marks the
exact point of impact. Rather than being inferior to the Stg44 in CoD3, the
MP40 balances the two weapons between being, light, easy to use, low recoil,
yet weak; to the heavy, large recoil, powerful Stg44. Players will find that
selecting either will result in the same effect, yet the Stg44 is generally
used at longer ranges, and vice versa.

:===========================================================================:
Submachine Gunner Efficiency
:===========================================================================:

Submachine Guns are no longer the spray and pray weapons they were in CoD2,
where the player was often leaning on the trigger the entire time. They can
now be used much more tactically without so much unpredictable recoil. The
kick from an SMG goes straight up, if at all and no longer shakes all over
the place. Soldiers can now use a Submachine Gun with the same efficiency as
a rifleman or support gunner.

Now, a Submachine Gunner can effectively hold his own on an infantry line,
providing his unit with good close range suppressive fire. SMGs can also be
used on the move, unlike other heavier weapons, and will keep an opponent in
check as you advance. Faster reloads typically help this.

As long as a submachine gunner is engaging targets on a straight approach and
short range, you should be able to throw your opponent's aim off long enough
to get a kill. Using an SMG against enemies at medium or long range who are
equipped with more powerful weapons should be avoided, and you should always
make the attempt to get closer to an enemy before opening fire.

Since most of the maps are so big in CoD3, however, submachine guns have
become relatively redundant. SMGs are best used in tight corridors where
other weapons are at a disadvantage.

:===========================================================================:
5.0 – Support Weapons
:===========================================================================:

Typical words used to describe support weapons are "cheep" and "overpowered."
Nonetheless, they are commonly used as all-purpose weapons in most
multiplayer matches. Support weapons still have one main role in an infantry
unit: to provide long range suppressive fire and fill the air with enough
lead to keep the enemy in their foxholes.

Support weapons have undergone a number of changes to how they perform. Some
of them can only be found in the single player campaign, and are pretty
exclusive. The main trait that they all share is that recoil has been reduced
by a great deal, now making it possible to shred through an entire clip while
remaining on target.

The support weapons are under the Heavy Assault kit, and carry an assault
rifle, a pistol, an AP mine, and a frag grenade.

5.1 – BAR
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A2
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American
Caliber: .30-06 Springfield
Rate of fire: 450 rounds per minute
Feed Mechanism: 20 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Gas operated, open bolt

---------------------
History of the BAR
---------------------

Around the same time that John M. Browning had introduced his incredible
Browning .30 and .50 caliber machine guns, he also presented to the U.S. Army
an "automatic rifle." There had been numerous attempts at creating semi-
automatic rifles and fully automatic rifles previously, such as the Bang
Rifle and the Mondragon, but the Browning Automatic Rifle was the first
successful model adopted into military service. It was a heavy weapon,
weighing just under 20 pounds. It was approved for production in February
1918 by the US Army and served for the final months of WW1. The idea was to
equip 1 out of every 5 men in an infantry unit with a BAR, with the concept
of providing the riflemen with support while advancing across "No Man's
Land," or the ground between two trenches.

The first model, the BAR M1918, was a select fire rifle, firing in either
fully automatic at about 500 rounds a minute, or single shot. Browning's
design was a rather complex idea of gas-operation, with a gas piston chamber
running under the barrel. The expanding gas would push the piston and bolt
back to eject a spent casing and cock the hammer, while the bolt head would
rise to lock in a recess on the top of the gun body, ready to fire again.
Once the trigger was pulled, the bolt would fall, and the return spring would
propel it forward to chamber another round and fire.

In 1937, the BAR was modified, the rear sights reconfigured from the aperture
sight to the V-notch. The hinged butt-plate was included as well as a bipod
attached to the gas piston cylinder. This model was designated the M1918A1.
Shortly after, in 1940, the weapon was modified again to scrap the single-
shot firing mode in favor of fully automatic only. The rate of fire could be
selected to fire at 450rpm or 650 rpm. This model was called the M1918A2. The
BAR remained standard in the military throughout WW2 and the Korean War
before being phased out by the M14 Assault Rifle.

------------------
The BAR in CoD3
------------------

First of all, it is important to point out that the model designation for the
Browning Automatic Rifle in CoD3 is incorrect. In the Bonus features section,
it is labeled as the BAR M1918A2. The skin in this game, however, is a WW1
model M1918. It even uses the aperture sight of the WW1 model. But it fires
at 450 rounds a minute, the "slow automatic" select fire from the M1918A2.

The first thing you will probably notice when you first pick up, load, and
fire the BAR, that it has virtually no recoil at all. Even when emptying an
entire clip on full automatic in the standing position, you will find that
your aim has only slightly deviated vertically. This is realistic in some
manner, as since the BAR was such a heavy weapon (19.6 lbs) most of the
energy from the .30-06 cartridge had dissipated before it reached your
shoulder.

The sights consist of a rear aperture sight and a front blade sight. The rear
sight is very wide, and will even block out some targets at long range, which
is probably the desired distance you will tend to be firing from. Due to the
incredibly low recoil, high power, and manageable rate of fire, the BAR is
excellent for long range support.

5.2 – Bren LMG
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Bren Light Machine Gun
Country of origin: Czechoslovakia
Available to: British, Canadian, and Polish
Caliber: .303 British
Rate of fire: 500 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 30 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Gas operated, open bolt

--------------------------
History of the Bren LMG
--------------------------

The Bren LMG first began with the production of the Czech ZB vz.26, a light
machine gun based on the gas-operated design of the Browning Automatic Rifle,
using a tipping bolt that locked into a recess in the gun body. After men
from the British Embassy in Prague had seen the weapon perform, they
contacted the British Army Ordinance, who had been searching for a
replacement for the Lewis Gun, and informed them of the Zbrojovka Brno Arms
manufacturing company. After testing the ZB model 26, they concluded that it
would be the best choice to design a weapon around. They re-chambered it for
the British .303 cartridge and changed the magazine from a straight box
design to a curved one, redesigned the sights, and shortened the barrel. For
this new weapon, they used the first two letters of Brno, the factory in
which the ZB vz.26 was first manufactured, and the first two letters of the
place of new manufacture, Enfield, to form the new designation, Bren.

The Bren was adopted by the British military in the mid-1930s, and was used
throughout WW2 and the Korean War. The locking mechanism was based off of the
Browning Automatic Rifle, also used in weapons like the Chatellerault, where
the bolt tipped and locked against shoulders on the interior of the gun body.
The Bren also fired from the open bolt - making the risk of rounds "cooking
off," or firing prematurely while in the chamber due to extreme heat - less
likely. The Bren was an incredibly good design and extremely tough and
reliable. The Bren was once dubbed the greatest machine gun ever built, which
is certainly an agreeable statement.

The Bren was an excellent replacement for the previous Lewis and Hotchkiss
models of WW1, which were complicated and expensive to manufacture, not to
mention unreliable. It should be noted that the Lewis gun had 23 different
forms of jamming, which the crew had to memorize and know how to fix, while
the Bren Light Machine Gun had only 3.

-----------------------
The Bren LMG in CoD3
-----------------------

The Bren only appears in the single player campaign, and is available to the
British, Canadian, and Polish forces. The Bren is a powerful automatic weapon
capable of holding off multiple enemy units with a good rate of 500 rpm. Its
initial recoil is actually greater than sustained fire, so it is not
impractical to fire in long bursts. One problem with this, however, is that
the muzzle blast can get in the way of your targets due to the way the sights
are set up, making aiming difficult. Whether you choose to fire in short,
controlled bursts, or long, sustained bursts, The Bren's aim is easily
corrected and is effective at most ranges.

The sights are very similar to the Lee-Enfield. The Bren has two rear
aperture sights (the one behind the magazine in not used). The one that is
used is a thin plate with a hole, roughly the same size as the Lee-Enfield,
and the front sight is a blade with a post on either side. This configuration
makes aiming very easy. However, due to the magazine placement, peripheral
vision to the center right is blocked. Luckily, it is not as obtrusive as it
was in previous Call of Duty games.

With a good rate of fire, awesome accuracy, great power, large clip capacity,
and manageable recoil, the Bren is an excellent choice for any range of
combat.

:===========================================================================:
5.3 – Stg44
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Sturmgewehr 1944
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 7.92mm Kurz
Rate of fire: 500 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 30 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Gas operated, open bolt

-----------------------
History of the Stg44
-----------------------

During the prewar period in the 30s, the German Army began to come to a
realization. Rifles were, at the time, made to fulfill the purpose of long-
range, accurate fire. A standard issue German rifle was required to have an
effective range of at least 400 meters, but how many times did a soldier
actually get the chance to engage, much less see, a target at those
distances? Also, the German Army deployed heavy, powerful cartridges, and
naturally, to fire such a heavy bullet, a heavy rifle was also required, but
to what point was such a rifle bullet practical when a smaller bullet of the
same velocity could perform the same job? It was the criticism of factors
like these that led to the Stg44.

They realized that they needed a much smaller cartridge, instead of a large
one that wasted energy. With a lighter cartridge, so could there be a lighter
rifle, and that was the basis of the new weapon. Due to availability of
machinery to produce the Standard 8mm Mauser (7.92 x 57mm) cartridge, the new
cartridge was developed using the same dimensions. Following this, the German
Army asked the arms producers Haenel and Walther each to develop a new rifle.
Both designs, the MK42, were tested, and concluded that the Haenel design
would be the best choice, using a 7.92 x 33mm round. But Hitler did not
approve of the new rifle. He argued that the traditional long-range rifle
cartridge was better, and claimed the soldier needed a long range rifle to do
the job. Hitler was, however, a keen enthusiast for submachine guns, so to
get around the problem, arms factories changed the new rifle's name to MP43,
which meant "submachine gun" 43.

Eventually though, Hitler found out when in a Conference of Commanders on the
Eastern front, when the officers all requested for more shipments of the new
rifle with enthusiasm. After a while, Hitler approved of the rifle, and
changed the name to Stg44. It is noteworthy to mention that the respect for
the Stg44 by the Russians led to the development of the famous AK47.

--------------------
The Stg44 in CoD3
--------------------

Hooray for the Stg44! I was getting pretty tired of the MP44 designation
found in all previous Call of Duty titles. Since the game takes place in
August 1944, after the name was changed, it feels appropriate. The Stg44 is
still a powerful long range weapon, but feels slightly different. It no
longer feels like the high-powered support weapon that it portrayed in CoD2,
acting as a counterpart to the BAR. It now behaves more like the machine
carbine that it truly was. It does not have much initial recoil, but after 3
or 4 rounds, the gun begins to buck wildly, making sustained fire difficult.

The sights consist of a rear V-notch and a front ring and blade. The front
sight has been raised quite a bit, but the tip of the blade still marks the
exact point of impact. The sights have also being enlarged, making aiming
generally easier.

The Stg44 still serves as a counterpart to the BAR, but in a different way,
much like the relation between the Garand and the Kar98k, or the Thompson and
the MP40. It has its strengths and weaknesses, but still functions well with
its assigned role.

:===========================================================================:
5.4 – FG42
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Fallschirmjägergewehr 1942
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 20 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Gas operated, open bolt

----------------------
History of the FG42
----------------------

The FG42, was a heavy, select fire, gas operated automatic rifle. It was
developed shortly after the Battle of Crete, which made it blatantly obvious
that the Fallschirmjäger (German paratroops) were ill-equipped to jump in
hostile territory, and demanded a new weapon. The paratroops usually only
jumped with pistols and submachine guns, and the Luftwaffe began to
reconsider the fundamentals of proper jumping equipment. The Fallschirmjäger
needed an automatic, high powered rifle that was lightweight, (no more than 9
pounds) short, (no longer than one meter) and included only metal hardware.

Six different arms manufacturers were selected to produce a prototype model,
but the only one accepted was the design by Louis Stange. The FG42 had two
main design versions, the Model I and the Model II. While not exactly
pertaining to the desired specifications, it still performed well. It
featured a select fire device that fired in semi-automatic from the closed
bolt or fully automatic from the open bolt, firing from a side-mounted 20
round magazine at 900 rounds a minute. The stock was set up in a way that
vertical recoil was dramatically reduced by making the stock one long
extension of the receiver (instead of diagonal to it like on most other
rifles) so that the recoil was diverted straight back. The Model II replaced
the slanted handle with a vertical one, and moved the bipod to attach to the
muzzle. Only about 7000 FG42 models were ever made, and the FG42 never really
saw full fledged service on the frontlines, but only exclusive service in
special operations by the Fallschirmjäger.

-------------------
The FG42 in CoD3
-------------------

The FG42 is only found in one level of the entire game. While it is certainly
a delight to pick up and use, it is not that great of a weapon. Part of that
is due to the fact that since it is so light and has such a high rate of fire
(750 rounds per minute) it has excessive recoil. Even firing in single shot
provides more kick than would be desired. On the plus side, the level that it
is found in has an abundance of ammunition, and is easy to suppress an enemy
with.

The sights consist of a rear Diopter aperture sight and a forward pin. Aiming
is fairly easy, but does not feel as smooth as other weapons. Reload time is
the fastest of all support weapons, since you only need to replace the
magazine, and with the smallish capacity and high rate of fire, you will find
yourself reloading a lot.

While not particularly a favorite weapon, the FG42 still provides a good
amount of fire and decent accuracy. Aside from sounding like a pipsqueak, the
FG42 is a powerful weapon, but is best used in close quarters, as the recoil
prevents use at any longer ranges.

:===========================================================================:
5.5 – Scoped FG42
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Fallschirmjägergewehr 1942
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 20 round detachable box magazine
Operation: Gas operated, open bolt

-----------------------------
History of the Scoped FG42
-----------------------------

At the same time as the development of the FG42, German air force officers
considered mounting a scope on the new automatic rifle to increase the range
of fire and allow more precise shot placement while airborne. This was the
first introduction to the predecessor of the scoped Assault Rifle in history.
The scope was specifically tailored to the weapon, and was called the ZFG42.
Aside from the scope, the FG42 was the same weapon as the standard, non-
scoped FG42, and unlike most military sniper rifles, was not hand selected
for accuracy.

--------------------------
The Scoped FG42 in CoD3
--------------------------

The scoped FG-42 is a fairly rare weapon, in that it can only be found twice
in the game. It can be found in the half-destroyed house in "The Island"
level propped up against the second story windowsill, and in "The Mace"
propped against two boxes after choosing the upper path to support your
squad. Despite its limited service use, however, it's actually pretty cool.
The scope replaces the crummy iron sights and makes accuracy and aiming a
breeze. It also seems that recoil is reduced in the scoped model, and is
still fully automatic. The only difference in the two models is the scope,
increasing the range to about 600 meters.

:===========================================================================:
5.6 – Support Gunner Efficiency
:===========================================================================:

Support Weapons in Call of Duty 3 are basically the same weapons from Call of
Duty 2 with different results. These heavy, fully automatic weapons were once
used in their true form, mostly to provide inaccurate suppressive fire (but
could also be used to give accurate single fire). In CoD3, Support Weapons
are classified as "Heavy Assault, and are typically used to be fired on the
run and to assault main objectives like flags and HQs. With their low recoil
and high RoF (Rate of Fire), Support Weapons can provide both long and short
range accurate fire.

There are a number of tactics that you can employ while using a support
weapon. The first is mobile assault, using the weapon on the go and firing in
automatic bursts. This is effective for targets that are behind cover, as the
automatic fire can keep the enemy's head down while you close the gap between
you and the target, at which point you can effectively take them out. The
Mobile Assault tactic should generally be used when the enemy is well covered
and at a longer range, and should also be executed with teammates packing
similar weapons.

The second tactic is basic support gunning, by keeping close to your
teammates (usually while behind cover or in the prone position) and providing
a base of fire. You can use this while your team needs to cross a wide open
field that may be guarded by snipers or Support Gunners using the long range-
assault tactic. While doing this with a Heavy Assault weapon is not as
effective as using a deployable MG, it still works quite well.

The final is the Long-Range Assault tactic, where you are using your weapon
to the equivalent of a sniper. The soldier should use the prone position
while hidden or find cover where visibility is poor to take out enemies at
long range. While using the ADS and single-shot fire, a player can take out
many opponents caught out in the open.

In conclusion, the Heavy Assault weapon class is a powerful, all purpose kit
that is easy to use and effective in most hands.

:===========================================================================:
6.0 – Machineguns
:===========================================================================:

The deployable MG falls into this class, something not found in Call of Duty
2. .30cals and MG34s are mostly used to provide a base of fire with a
blistering rate of fire and an abundance of ammunition. Additionally, Heavy
machineguns like the Browning .50cal and MG42 are also included in this
category; more powerful versions of their smaller counterparts, but still
serving the same purpose. While these can't be picked up and deployed, they
can be found on the back of vehicles or as stationary guns.

The Deployable MG is associated with the Support Class, which includes a
machinegun, a pistol, ammunition, and a frag grenade.

:===========================================================================:
6.1 – Browning .30cal
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Browning M1919A6
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American
Caliber: .30-06 Springfield
Rate of fire: 750rpm
Feed mechanism: 75 or 250 round belt
Operation: Short recoil

---------------------------------
History of the Browning .30cal
---------------------------------

In 1917, the US Army was equipped by French Arms factories with the Chauchat
medium machinegun, the worst machinegun ever built. The gun jammed,
overheated, misfired, fell apart, blew up, and performed any other sort of
action that disgraced itself, and the crew of the weapon often threw it away
in hopes that throwing rocks might be more effective. The US Army was lucky
that John Moses Browning had a new machinegun.

He first demonstrated his weapon to the US Army in 1917. Browning set up his
machinegun, equipped with water jacket and steam canister, and to the
surprise of the crowd, fired several belts of 20,000 rounds without stopping
or jamming, then another 20,000 rounds after letting the gun cool. Skeptical
that the gun could perform that well under factory conditions, the board
demanded that he have a new gun produced and demonstrated again. With this
gun, he fired nonstop for approximately 48 minutes and 12 seconds until the
gun finally stopped, at which point he blindfolded himself, disassembled, and
then reassembled it. Next week, the US Army ordered 10,000 to be deployed
immediately on the field.

Several models came after that, leading to the M1919, the same gun but
replacing the water jacket with a perforated, air-cooled barrel jacket. All
of his machineguns used the short recoil system of belt-feeding, where the
barrel recoils until it is unlocked from the bolt, which is blown back with
the help of an accelerator, against the return spring. The feed arm discards
a spent shell casing and draws another round into the breech, where it is
chambered and locked, ready to fire again. The most commonly used models were
the M1919A4, which used a plastic pistol grip mounted on the butt and was
used extensively on vehicles (usually fed by a 100 or 250-round box of belt
ammunition), and the M1919A6, which was equipped with a butt stock and bipod
for mobile use by the infantry. The M1919 was possibly the best machinegun
design ever built, and still remains in service in some countries to this
day.

------------------------------
The Browning .30cal in CoD3
------------------------------

Two models, the M1919A4 and M1919A6, are used in CoD3, the latter of which is
a new addition from CoD2 and fully deployable. The first model is primarily
used as a stationary machinegun (not found in multiplayer) and fires at 600
rounds per minute. The second one is the transportable model and fires at 900
rounds per minute with limited ammo. To deploy the M1919A6, you must find a
low piece of cover or go into the prone position.

They both feature new sounds, which are considered to be improved from the
previous game, and visuals. At least you can actually tell how many rounds
are being fired, unlike the weird, pre-recorded sounds from CoD2. Both models
are used as suppressive weapons and are moderately powerful, although it may
take multiple shots to kill an enemy. The stationary gun can overheat,
meaning that you must check your fire often. The deployable gun does not
overheat, however, and can be fired until the 75-round belt is depleted.

The sights look complicated, but are essentially a rear V-notch sight and a
front post. In some low light situations, the front sight is particularly
hard to see, so the shooter should aim just slightly above the rear sight.
Recoil is nil while deployed in the prone position, or set up against a piece
of cover. Additionally, the .30 cal can be used as a spam weapon while on the
move. Be careful, though. The .30cal has the slowest reload of all weapons,
taking about 6 seconds to feed a new belt.

:===========================================================================:
6.2 – Browning .50cal
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Browning M2HB
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American, Canadian, and Polish
Caliber: .50 BMG
Rate of fire: 550rpm (campaign), 1200rpm (multiplayer)
Feed mechanism: Belt fed
Operation: Short recoil

---------------------------------
History of the Browning .50cal
---------------------------------

Shortly after developing the M1919 for the US Army, John Browning began work
on a new, heavy machine gun. This class of machinegun was relatively new to
the battlefield, as WW1 had just recently demonstrated extensive use of
fortified and reinforced positions, and even tanks. The Heavy Machinegun was
meant to counter these targets by punching through hardened surfaces and
still have enough energy to dispatch opponents on the other side. Browning's
design was very similar to his previously invented .30cal medium machine gun.
It was a belt fed, short recoil operated, vehicle mounted machinegun in which
the barrel and bolt both recoiled to chamber a new round. He also designed a
new cartridge, a heavy 12.7 x 99mm (or .50 Browning Machine Gun) that had a
maximum kill range of nearly 7000 meters, but an effective range of 2000
meters. He finished the design in 1921, and submitted it to the US Army
Ordinance department for testing.

The Army was astounded at the .50cal's anti-material abilities, penetrating
nearly any object of great density, and adopted the weapon into service. The
.50 could be used in a wide variety of rolls, such as AAA, anti-vehicle, or a
lethal anti-infantry designation. In 1932, the weapon was updated to take a
new, thicker barrel (hence the designation M2HB for "M2 Heavy Barrel") that
resisted over-heating better. The gun weighed a hefty 82 pounds, and with a
bipod included, the weight was bumped up to more than 120 pounds, usually
requiring three men to carry it into battle.

It mostly saw use on the back of vehicles or as a secondary weapon mounted on
tanks. The Browning M2 is such a great design, that it still remains in
military service today, not only in the US, but in nearly 20 other separate
countries.

------------------------------
The Browning .50cal in CoD3
------------------------------

The Browning M2 cannot actually be used as a transportable infantry weapon in
CoD3 for obvious reasons, but is often found on the backs of many vehicles.
In campaign, the .50cal sees limited service and only fires at 550 rounds per
minute. In multiplayer, however, it fires at a disgustingly astounding 1200
rounds a minute to counter the MG42. It is found on the back of the American
jeep, the Sherman, and oddly, the Panzer.

The .50cal doesn't really have any real iron sights; it is just essentially a
first-person weapon model with a T-crosshair. The intercept point of the T
marks the exact point of impact at ranges of up to 150 meters. The M2 has
relatively low recoil, but it does overheat easily, making sustained fire
difficult. Firing in 5-7 round bursts with about half of a second between
bursts, or equally 10 round bursts with about a second between bursts will
keep the weapon up and running for a good while. The gun will sustain around
3-4 seconds of fully automatic fire before overheating.

:==========================================================================:
6.3 – Vickers K
:==========================================================================:

Designation: Vickers Gas Operated
Country of origin: Great Britain
Available to: British
Caliber: .303 British
Rate of fire: 950 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 100 round drum magazine
Operation: Gas operated

---------------------------
History of the Vickers K
---------------------------

During the post war period, the British Army Ordinance Department realized
that the Lewis and Vickers machineguns had started to become obsolete and
complicated to manufacture. The Lewis gun was a heavy, recoil operated weapon
that fed from a top mounted drum magazine. While the recoil system was
innovative it was less than practical for factory production, as was the
outdated toggle-lock design of the Vickers gun. Adding to that the delicate
mechanisms that were prone to jamming and overheating, it became apparent
that the British Army as well as the entire military needed rearming.
The method of gas-operated weapons had become a new field of exploration
during the early 20th century, and some profitable designs had come out of it,
such as Browning's 'Automatic Rifle,' so it was decided that the new
requirements would call for a light, gas-operated squad-based automatic
weapon firing the standard British .303 rifle cartridge. One possible
candidate was the French manufactured Vickers-Berthier (commercially
advertised as the "Vickers K"), firing the 8mm Mauser round. It was a solid
design, but the top mounted drum magazine proved to be too cumbersome and
added to the already hefty weight of the devise. Although this design failed
army tests in favor of the exceptional Czech ZB vz.26 (later to become the
Bren), the RAF could find ways to put the Vickers-Berthier to good use. It
was rechambered for the .303 British cartridge and became the Vickers Gas-
Operated, mounted on the observation seats of British Aircraft. With a
desirable 950 rpm, it was ideal for single-ship dog fights and capable of
filling the air with dangerous bursts of led. But as newer model aircraft
were produced, the VGO began to gradually lose popularity.
The British SAS would yet find use for the Vickers, however.
Particularly, these weapons could be mounted in pairs on British jeeps for
hit and run tactics. As many as 3 pairs of guns could be fitted to one SAS
jeep, increasing the vehicle's firepower exponentially. This weapon was used
extensively by the SAS during WW2.

------------------------
The Vickers K in CoD3
------------------------

The Vickers K is a single player exclusive, available on a track-based
mission during your campaigns with the French resistance. While being able to
drive the SAS jeep, you are later allowed to mount the twin Vickers K
apparatus. First of all, it is apparent that upon pulling the trigger, this
weapon can fire very quickly as well as being a generally terrifying weapon
not only to fire, but also to be on the receiving-end of. Although you may
have noticed the top mounted drum magazine, it is supplied with an unlimited
amount of continuous fire, but it is prone to overheating if one leans on the
trigger for too long.

The second defining characteristic of the Vickers K is its unconventional
iron sight system. It consists of a large ring sight in the rear and a front
pin sight in the center. This might look simple to use but it actually may be
slightly difficult. For one, the sight is not attached to either of the
weapons themselves, but rather in the very center of the two, so you are not
able to see the source of your shots. And since you are not firing tracer
rounds (i.e. bullets that allow the firer to see the trajectory of the shots
by their trail), you aren't able to see where they are going, either. Because
of this, you'll have to rely solely on the sights.

It is best to place the front sight just below your target, and adjust your
fire by either confirming the target's status or by finding the point that
has just been hit. Overall, using the Vickers K is a simple form of guess and
check.

:==========================================================================:
6.4 – MG34
:==========================================================================:

Designation: Maschinengewehr 1934
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Rate of fire: 900 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 75 round drum magazine
Operation: Short recoil

----------------------
History of the MG34
----------------------

In search of a new design, the German army began to examine new machineguns
in 1930. The design was supposed to follow certain machinegun standards
recently formed by the Army, which was to use a General Purpose Machine Gun
(GMPG) which could be used for long range suppressive fire, or used as a
mobile spam weapon of sorts. A Swiss design called the Solothurn MG30 caught
the attention of arms developers in Germany. It was a light machinegun that
fired the 8mm Mauser cartridge (7.92 x 57mm) from a side mounted, 30-round
detachable box magazine. A designer working for Mauser by the name of
Heinrich Vollmer took the design and expanded on it, with an end result that
bore very little resemblance to the MG30.

The rotating bolt had been replaced with a staitionary bolt body where only
the head rotated around a joint. It used a similar feeding mechanism to the
Browning machineguns, in which the bolt engaged feeding pawls that fed the
rounds into the breech by either a 250-round belt, or a 75-round drum
magazine mounted on the side. The bolt mechanism was also modified to fire at
800-900 rounds per minute.

The German Army adopted the MG34 in 1934, and used it extensively in WW2.
However, when the war first rolled out, it became apparent that the precision
and productivity demanded by the MG34 was not ideal for wartime production
measures, so it was replaced (officially) by the MG42. Even so, the MG34
remained in wide use during the Second World War as a squad automatic weapon
and a Medium machinegun.

-------------------
The MG34 in CoD3
-------------------

The MG34 has resurfaced from Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, looking better than
ever. But other than that, it basically sounds and performs in the same way.
It uses a 75-round drum magazine, which can be depleted pretty fast at 900
rounds per minute, and takes ages to reload, about six seconds. The MG34, as
well as the .30cal, will deploy in the prone position or against a low object
when the left trigger is pulled (ADS) and has approximately 120 degrees
horizontal range and 45 degrees vertical range.

The iron sights are pretty conventional, with a rear V-notch sight (included
with a cosmetic range adapter) and a front blade sight. The tip of the blade
marks the exact point of impact when in the prone position. Recoil is
minimal, and the barrel will only jump slightly when the first shot is fired,
then stabilize. When not deployed, the shots will disperse in a conical
pattern as more shots are fired.

The MG34 and .30 cal are the heaviest weapons to run with, which makes the
aid of pistols all the more valid. No matter which primary weapon you are
equipped with, you can always run at a quick, zippy speed with a pistol
equipped. Remember to keep one handy when using machineguns.

:========================================================================:
6.5 – MG42
:========================================================================:

Designation: Maschinengewehr 1942
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 8mm Mauser
Rate of fire: 1200 rounds per minute
Feed mechanism: 50 or 250-round belt
Operation: Short recoil

----------------------
History of the MG42
----------------------

After discovering the production weaknesses of the MG34, a replacement weapon
was heavily sought after. The finely machined parts were delicate and easily
susceptible to disruption from dirt and mud, and poor ammunition could jam
the weapon. Basing the new design off of the previously produced MG34, Mauser
began work on a new machinegun. Instead of a rotating bolt head, the bolt
used two cammed rollers that fit into a locking piece in the breech. The
roller would lock into the breech by closing, like a claw, around a groove,
which was aided by the return spring. The bolt body, which contained the
firing pin, was released by pulling the trigger. Ammunition was lifted into
the breech by the typical means of feed arm and pawls found in belt fed
machineguns. Due to the astounding rate of 1200 rounds per minute (20 rounds
a second), barrels burned out pretty quickly. An innovative method of
providing a barrel-removing system of swinging the barrel out by the breech
through a slot in the barrel jacket was implemented, allowing the crew to
change barrels in seconds.

The German Army quickly found that the MG42 was much easier to produce than
the MG34, although never replaced it on the field. By the end of the war,
more than 750,000 MG42s were produced and saw service until the end of the
war. It still remains today, re-chambered for .308 NATO, as the MG1 (although
it is not typically used due to weight and heat).

-------------------
The MG42 in CoD3
-------------------

The MG42 cannot be used as a deployable weapon like the MG34, but is commonly
found as a staitionary gun emplacement and mounted on the back of the German
Korch. The first thing that distinguishes it from any other machinegun is its
1200 round per minute rate of fire, its characteristic sound capable of being
picked out immediately. Literally nicknamed "Hitler's Buzzsaw" during WW2,
the MG42 is capable of spewing out an insurmountable wall of lead in a very
short time. This makes individual rounds hard to pick out and single shots
difficult to obtain.

While not technically used, the sights consist of a rear V-notch and a front
blade, but the actual aiming system is just a T crosshair, the intersection
of the lines marking the exact impact point. The MG42 has minimal recoil, but
is best used at ranges within 100 meters and fired in 5-7 round bursts. 3
seconds of fully automatic fire will overheat the barrel. The sound of the
MG42 is also very attractive, not to mention accurate (the flash suppressor
on the end of the barrel increased the sound of the shots) with a loud
thunder crash of bullets followed by the catchy Dozen-shells-hitting-the-
pavement-at-once hollow jingle. Overall, the MG42 is easy and fun to use, and
is useful for helping suppress the enemy.

:===========================================================================:
6.6 – Machine Gunner Efficiency
:===========================================================================:

With the inclusion of the deployable MG in CoD3, the machine gunner has a
whole new playground now. A machine gunner, equipped with a frag grenade,
infinite spare ammunition, a light pistol, and a heavy machinegun, is capable
of a multipurpose storming tactic. The MG is a great spam weapon for close
range, conquering any opponent, while at long and medium range, is able to
keep up a steady stream of accurate support fire.

On the down side, all deployable MGs can only use ADS in the prone, deployed
position, making quick aiming impossible. As a rule, a machine gunner should
stay well concealed in cover and supported by teammates, moving in groups and
deploying in the front of combat, providing a base of fire for the assaulting
allies. It is best to find a hidden location with lots of cover, AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY, only exposed in the front. The reason for this is because you
will be able to see all of your enemies without having to worry about your
left and right flanks, and the enemy is only able to approach you from one
direction.

This may not always be the case, however, and many times a machine gunner is
vulnerable from all sides, especially to snipers, who seem to be drawn to
machine gunners as you are unable to move and are open from all directions.
Like they say, "With great power comes great consequences (it's really
supposed to be "responsibility," but who gives a damn?)" Using a machinegun
may be powerful and accurate, but is also dangerous.

To counter this, you may choose to stay mobile, becoming less of a target for
snipers. But alas, you cannot use your ADS while moving, or standing for that
matter, so you are equally as vulnerable at anything but close range. With a
fast rate of fire and lots of bullets, you can quickly take out an opponent
at close range without being deployed. This is excellent for storming
compounds and assaulting objectives.

Overall, the Support class is a well-balanced kit that uses great rate of
fire, excellent ammo capacity, good accuracy, and little recoil with the
disadvantage of slow movement, exposure, and low accuracy while moving.

:===========================================================================:
7.0 – Anti-Armor
:===========================================================================:

All of the previously mentioned weapon classes are well-balanced, unique, and
excellent for certain situations, except one. You've probably been thinking,
"So, if a tank rolls by, I'm screwed, right?" Well, don't fret, as we still
have an ace up our sleeve: Anti-Armor, a class specifically designed for the
defense of and elimination of tanks and other armored vehicles.

Each team is equipped with the Anti-Armor roll and includes a rocket
launcher, a pistol, a sticky grenade, and ammunition. There are only two
types of Anti-Armor weapons, and are practically the exact same as the other.

:===========================================================================:
7.1 – Bazooka
:===========================================================================:

Designation: M9A1 Bazooka
Country of origin: USA
Available to: Allies, American
Caliber: M7A1 HEAT shaped charge (60mm)
Feed mechanism: 1-round tube
Operation: Magneto Ignition

-------------------------
History of the Bazooka
-------------------------

With the introduction of tanks during WW1, the USA was in desperate need of a
new weapon to battle these vehicles. Plans went underway to develop a new,
armor-piercing infantry rifle that could penetrate a tank's armor and disable
it, but a slightly different design caught the US army's attention. A rocket
launcher, produced by Leslie Skinner and Edward Uhl (two military officers),
which featured a simple tube and trigger assembly which fired a rocket,
tipped with an M10 grenade, by electric ignition. The Army adopted it, and
introduced it to the armed forces in 1942 as the M1A1 "bazooka" a term that
made a reference to the musical instrument made by comedian Bob Burns which
the weapon resembled.

The first use of the recoilless rocket powered weapon was the invention by
Robert H. Goddard, developed as an anti-tank weapon for the US Army in 1918.
The weapon used a hollow metal tube with a wooden stock that fired a simple
rocket which could pierce up to 70mm of armor. The army lost interest
however, when the war ended the week after Goddard introduced his weapon.
Later, two men, Skinner and Uhl, based their work off of Goddard's weapon, as
well as a shaped charge idea developed by Swiss weapon developer Henry
Mohaupt. It used a tube with a handle and sights that fired a rocket tipped
with Mohaupt's grenade, fed into the back of the tube.

On production M1A1s, the firing mechanism was changed to the electrical
"Magneto" ignition system, a more reliable system than the one developed by
Skinner and Uhl. Several models such as the M9A1 followed, which could be
broken down into two pieces for use by paratroopers. Although effective
against most Panzer variants, the Bazooka was ineffective against German
Tiger tanks. It was replaced by the M20 "Super Bazooka" and the M72 LAW in
Vietnam.

----------------------
The Bazooka in CoD3
----------------------

The Bazooka is a weapon specifically designed for use against armored
vehicles such as jeeps and tanks, and is very powerful and effective. Unlike
other Call of Duty titles, the bazooka only takes one rocket to destroy a
Panzer or a Sherman, and is accurate at ranges up to 50 meters. The bazooka
does have quite a bit of faults, though. The rocket is unreliable in
accuracy, and may zoom straight on target at sometimes, while at others it
could veer off course and sail over the target by several feet, making it
ineffective at medium and long range. Also, it only fires one rocket at a
time and is slow to reload, making the first shot vital. It is a heavy weapon
as well at nearly sixteen pounds, making it slow to run with. Plus, it is
highly ineffective against infantry and does not have much splash damage.

The bazooka only has one rear iron sight which consists of a wide metal plate
with a wired crosshair in the middle. The plate can be rather obtrusive and
blocks targets outside the field of vision. Add that to the fact that all
targets to the right are essentially invisible, and the bazooka is a pretty
one-purpose weapon, best used exclusively against vehicles at close range.

:===========================================================================:
7.2 – Panzerschrek
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Raketen-Panzerbüchse 54
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Caliber: 7.25 lb. rocket (88mm shaped charge)
Feed mechanism: 1-round tube
Operation: PD fuse

------------------------------
History of the Panzerschrek
------------------------------

Before the Panzerschrek, the German Army had primarily been using rifle
grendes and anti-tank rifles to combat Allied tanks, which proved
unsatisfactory during WW2. During the African campaign, the Germans managed
to capture American M1A1 Bazookas and send them to German arms developers.
They based a similar design around this and refitted it with the 88mm rocket
grenade, calling it the RPzB43 (or more commonly the Panzerschrek, meaning
"tank terror") which could pierce up to 200mm of armor, enough to destroy an
Allied tank with one round. Unfortunately, the PDzB43 had excessive blast
from the muzzle and rear, and many times the operating crew had to wear
protective suits. To reduce the danger of the jet-wash, the weapon was
equipped with a blast shield to protect the firer, resulting in the RPzB54.

The Panzerschrek was issued to German troops in 1943 and continued to be
produced until the war's end, but was not produced nearly as much as the
easier to manufacture, cheaper Panzerfaust, which was a disposable tube
tipped with an 88mm warhead. The Panzerschrek was greatly feared by Allied
tank units and was typically the main source of destruction to the armored
vehicles.

---------------------------
The Panzerschrek in CoD3
---------------------------

The Panzerschrek is basically the same as the Bazooka if not for the sounds
and visuals, and serves the same purpose. It is just as heavy, inaccurate,
powerful, slow to reload, and cool to use as the M9A1, and is issued to the
anti-armor class.

The iron sights consist of a rear square hollowed out of the blast shield and
a front blade. Again, the sights are very obtrusive and are mainly effective
against targets in the immediate visual range.

:===========================================================================:
7.3 – Anti-Armor Efficiency
:===========================================================================:

You may not at first feel compelled to choose the Anti-Armor class when
beginning a game, instead choosing a lighter infantry weapon. But when the
tanks rev their engines and roll out of the garage, many players will find
that it is actually smart to commit suicide in favor of choosing the Rocket
Launchers.

With the reintroduction of the M9A1 Bazooka into CoD3, which is a welcome
edition from CoD2, which only featured the Panzerschrek, each team is now
equipped with an effective anti-tank weapon. These weapons are rocket
propelled, powerful, and highly useful against tanks and jeeps. They are
also, however, inaccurate at long range and ineffective against infantry.
Tactics are relatively easy to employ, and usually only consist of one phase:
aim and fire.

Tanks are slow and cumbersome, making them easy targets, but they also have
excellent fields of vision are able to see the entire battle field (that is,
wherever the turret is pointed), so frontal assaults can be deadly. It is
best to spot the tank before it spots you, and make sure that you can get
into a position where you will not be heckled by any infantry support the
tank might have, and hide. It is best to maintain your cover until the tank
passes in range, at which point you are free to pop out and tag the tank with
a well placed rocket before it has a chance to respond. It usually only takes
one rocket to put a tank out of commission, as long as you get a direct hit
and avoid shooting the ground or any objects that may be in the way of your
target.

Even if you are well covered and the tank did not spot you, the rocket leaves
a smoke trail, often connecting angry groups of infantry directly to you.
Even if you missed your mark, it is wise to change positions immediately
after firing, as the rocket launcher takes a long time to reload. If you do
not want to risk missing your target at close range, however, you can use a
different tactic. Now, players are able to sneak up behind a tank and climb
on top to pitch a grenade into the hatch. This leaves you open to attacks
from infantry, though, and nothing is stopping the tank operator from simply
climbing out and killing you, and this tactic is best used by players who are
not equipped with anti-tank weapons.

:===========================================================================:
8.0 – Explosives
:===========================================================================:

What kind of game would this be without the aid of proper explosive devises?
Using grenades is a key to victory and is a very useful battle implement, and
players will somehow always find a use for one, whether it's setting up anti-
personnel mines near a defensive position or obscuring an enemy base with a
smoke screen.

A feature returning from games like CoD2: BRO is the ability to "cook"
grenades, "cook" being a term to describe pulling the pin and waiting for the
fuse to run down before throwing the grenade, allowing a skilled player to
take out groups of enemies before the grenade even hits the ground. However,
the ability to throw grenades back at the enemy is only included in the
campaign mode, so you are at the same disadvantage.

It should be noted that grenade buttons are different for multiplayer than
they are for singleplayer. They are as follows: Singleplayer- RB= frag
grenade, LB= smoke grenade. Multiplayer- RB= Special ability, LB= grenade.
This may take a while to get used to, but works quite nicely in eliminating
the confusion between two grenade types.

:===========================================================================:
8.1 – Frag Grenade
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Mk.2 A1 Fragmentation Grenade
Country of origin: USA
Available to: All Allied forces
Blast radius: 15 feet (4.7 meters)
Fuse time: 3 + 1 seconds
Max throw distance: 79 feet (25 meters)

------------------------------
History of the Mk.2 A1 Frag
------------------------------

Shortly after WW1 began, the American Army decided that a standard issue hand
grenade was in dire need of production due to the experience with the
Stielhandgranate used by the German Army. They based the design around the
British Mills bomb, a famous hand grenade considered to be the first modern
grenade. It featured a safety pin which compressed the "spoon" or safety
handle and kept it from releasing and engaging the fuse. When the pin was
pulled and the safety handle was released, the fuse delay burned for a
certain amount of time before engaging the powder and detonating. The grenade
also had a serrated surface, which at the time, was thought to help in
fragmentation.

The American grenade was based largely around this design, called the Mk.1,
but commonly referred to by troops as the "pineapple" due to its distinct
shape. It featured a rather complex safety mechanism and arming process,
which resulted in many cases of grenades being throw and not exploding. The
arming mechanism was taken out in favor of the Mills Bomb design, and was re-
designated the Mk.2. Some more minor modifications resulted in the Mk.2 A1,
which was commonly used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam, until being replaced by
the M67.

---------------------------
The Frag Grenade in CoD3
---------------------------

It can be thrown, it goes boom, and it will probably kill something. Grenades
haven't changed since CoD2 (except for the cooking feature) and are still
useful tools in battle. Once the pin is pulled and the spoon released, a red
circle consisting of seven bars appears on screen, and looses a bar until the
entire circle is depleted, at which point you will have one second before it
explodes.

For maximum throwing distance, it is best to angle your aim at 45 degrees,
and let two or three bars disappear before throwing it. Depending on
elevation, the grenade should detonate right as it hits the ground,
preventing the enemy from taking cover.

The grenade has an effective kill radius of about 7-10 feet. Anything outside
this radius will either not be affected by the grenade or will only be
moderately wounded. It is wise to watch for the grenade danger indicator, as
grenades that have landed close to you will be tagged by a white symbol,
becoming thicker or thinner depending on the grenade's distance from you.

The Mk.2 A1 is issued to all Allied forces. While this may only be a small,
purposeful mistake, it detracts somewhat from the game, but is nothing to
fret over.

:===========================================================================:
8.2 – Stielhandgranate
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Stielhandgranate 24
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: Axis, German
Blast radius: 10 feet (3.2 meters)
Fuse time: 3 + 1 seconds
Max throw distance: 94 feet (30 meters)

----------------------------------
History of the Stielhandgranate
----------------------------------

With the production of the Mills bomb and the Mk.2, an entirely different
type of grenade was being produced by the Germans. The main idea following
the Stielhandgranate, or "stick grenade," was that it relied more on the
initial blast of the detonation rather than the fragmentation of shrapnel in
other grenades, thus reducing the blast radius. On the other hand, the
grenade was equipped with a handle or stick, hence "stick grenade," that
aided in the grenade's overall distance.

The grenade was first designed and produced in 1915, sometime after the
outbreak of WW1. It was designed to be an "offensive" type grenade, meaning
that it has a shorter blast radius but greater power, and consisted of a
cylindrical can in which the charge was contained, as well as a wooden handle
by which to throw the grenade. To arm it, the user had to unscrew a cap at
the base of the handle where the fuse was contained (not assembled until
carried into battle). The fuse was inserted into a porcelain ball, which the
user would pull out after unscrewing the cap, which engaged the friction
igniter and started the 4-second fuse.

The Model 24 was used throughout WW1 and to the end of WW2. During wartime,
some small production aspects were simplified to produce them cheaper. The
epiphany of German infantry, the Stielhandgranate was probably the most
recognized grenade in the 20th century, known by many informal names, most
commonly as the "potato masher" by American and British troops.

-------------------------------
The Stielhandgranate in CoD3
-------------------------------

Virtually the same as the Mk.2 A1 Frag, the Stielhandgranate is simply the
German grenade variant. There is no real difference, apart from very minor
differences such as range, but it will still kill someone if you throw it at
them.

A minor gameplay fact that should be noted is that the Stielhandgranate does
not need to go through the arming process to be thrown, which means that you
do not have to go through the trouble of unscrewing the base cap and pulling
the fuse. You just have to throw it, and it will explode.

:===========================================================================:
8.3 – Smoke grenade
:===========================================================================:

Designation: AN-M8 Smoke grenade
Country of origin: USA
Available to: All
Effective radius: about 30 feet (9.5 meters)
Max expulsion time: 50 seconds
Max throw distance: 79 feet (25 meters)

-------------------------------
History of the Smoke Grenade
-------------------------------

Since WW1, smoke screens had been an understandably useful way for masking
troop movement and marking targets or positions of interest in the military.
Such devices such as smoke bombs and mortar shells had been devised which
consisted of an ignition composition and hydrochloric and potassium filler to
produce thick, heavy smoke screens that were mainly used to help soldiers
advance across open terrain. The popularity of the hand grenade, however,
brought up new options. By means of fuse and igniter, a simple aluminum
container could be filled with a solution that typically produced white
smoke, or in some cases, with colored powder, could produce a colored smoke
screen, and all could be thrown by hand.

One such grenade type was the AN-M8, used extensively by Allied forces during
WW2. When the pin was pulled and the lever was depressed, the igniter burned
and engaged the filler, which produced the smoke for up to 150 seconds. While
this was an effective method of troop movement, a long amount of time exposed
to the hydrochloric fumes could cause irritations to the eyes, lungs, and
throat. That's why gas masks were usually issued to soldiers if they were
expected to deploy the smoke in enclosed areas.

----------------------------
The Smoke Grenade in CoD3
----------------------------

The smoke grenade is useful in the heat of battle, and is mainly used to mask
players from enemy fire and allows them to get from one position to another
in relative safety. Smoke grenades do not have fuses like other hand
grenades, so you can keep the trigger held for as long as you like without
the grenade going off.

Once thrown, the grenade will activate about 3 seconds after it has ceased to
move (it may bounce around quite a lot). The maximum screen width may take a
while to build up, and will last for roughly 50 seconds, expanding until it
has reached its full magnitude, and will slowly dissipate.

A few different tactics can be deployed while using the smoke grenade. The
first is to deploy it close to your team to mask their movement from one
place to the other. The advantages are that the other team will not be able
to pick out individual targets and reduces the probability of getting hit in
the open. On the other hand, a smoke screen draws a lot of attention, and the
opposing team will often fire or throw grenades into the smoke. Plus, the
silhouette of targets not at the center of the smoke can still be seen.

The second tactic you can employ is throwing the smoke grenade close to a
fortified enemy position to confuse and disorient them, leaving them
vulnerable to an assault. Usually, the enemy will try to get out of the
screen in favor of better visibility, and will often run out into the line of
sight, where they should meet your bullets. You can also throw grenades into
their position, which will either kill them or further flush them out.

:===========================================================================:
8.4 – AP Mine
:===========================================================================:

Designation: S-Mine; M-1939 Anti-Personnel
Country of origin: Germany; USA
Available to: Axis; Allies
Blast radius: 31 feet (10 meters)
Effective kill radius: 7 feet (2.2 meters)
Fuse time: about half a second

-------------------------
History of the AP Mine
-------------------------

Based off of a famous German landmine called the S-mine, or "Bouncing Betty,"
the M-1939 is a type of explosive called a bounding mine, in which a
propulsive charge in the bottom of the mine blows it out of the ground to
about 1 meter in height and explodes, showering the area with shrapnel (which
is why it appears that the explosion is happening at about waist height in
CoD3).

A mine is a useful battle tool used for defense and fortification. It
consists of a large explosive charge and a trigger device, usually located on
top of the weapon, that is engaged by pressure, mainly that of an
unsuspecting victim. When the pressure is released, the mine detonates,
seriously wounding or killing its target or anyone around it. The S-mine and
M-1939 both featured a metal jacket filled with steel ball bearings that
acted as a lethal shrapnel apparatus, increasing range for up to 30 meters.

Either of these mines were activated using a safety pin in the shaft of the
device. The user would place the mine in the ground (usually in a hidden
location) unscrew a washer keeping the pin in place, remove the pin, and
cover the mine so as to reduce visibility. The mine had three pronged
pressure sensors that activated the propulsion charge in the bottom, and then
detonated in mid-air. The Allies saw the implications of the mine and based
the M-1939 bounding mine off of German SMi-35 models.

----------------------
The AP Mine in CoD3
----------------------

The first thing that should be pointed out is that the mine in CoD3 is
clearly visible, and you don't have to worry about stepping on one anywhere
you go. The top of the sensor and part of the charge is still visible
protruding from the ground, so visibility is not an issue. The mine claims
the most casualties from ignorant, hasty players that are not weary of where
they step.

The mine can only be placed on soft surfaces like grass or dirt, so placing
one at the entrance to a doorway is not plausible. When you or a teammate
deploys a mine, an indicator pops up showing the mine's location so as to
avoid friendly casualties. It is visible at all times, unlike on enemy mines,
where an indicator only pops up if you are in the mine's extreme proximity.
Anyone inside the mine's lethal radius (which is not that much, really) has
about half of a second to curse their teammates' stupidity before being blown
to smithereens.

Mines are not always lethal, however. While it is hard to do, it is possible
to step on a mine and live to tell the tale. After stepping on the mine, you
have a brief second before it explodes, and if you are quick enough, you can
sprint/ jump your way out of the kill radius. This is useful if you want to
clear a mine without wasting grenades. Using preferably a pistol, you simply
have to sprint directly over the mine, and jump as soon as you hear the click
of its activation mechanism. Again, this is hard to do, and you will be
seriously wounded (until you heal) but it's been done.

Generally, mines are placed close to defendable positions like flags or HQs.
You may catch an unsuspecting enemy off guard on several occasions, and
should likewise watch out for these devices while assaulting an objective, or
simply walking around a corner.

:===========================================================================:
8.5 – Sticky Bomb
:===========================================================================:

Designation: No. 74 ST grenade
Country of origin: Great Britain
Available to: Axis and Allies
Blast radius: 10 feet (3.2 meters)
Fuse time: 3 + 1 seconds
Max throw distance: 94 feet (30 meters)

-----------------------------
History of the Sticky Bomb
-----------------------------

Though not a very popular weapon with Allied troops due to its safety issues,
the No.74 "Sticky bomb" was an effective anti-tank weapon, which used a
sticky surface to adhere to enemy tanks.

In an attempt to utilize an effective anti-tank explosive, the British Army
issued the No.74 to frontline troops in 1940. The grenade consisted of a
metal shroud that encased the main charge: a nitroglycerine center inside a
knitted wool ball which was coated in a thick resin-based adhesive. On
removing the case pin, the metal shroud split and fell off, revealing the
sticky center. Pulling a second safety pin and releasing the spoon armed the
grenade and ignited the fuse.

Although effective, the Sticky Bomb was unsafe and easy to damage. For
instance, the glass ball containing the charge could crack from even light
jarring, and the nitroglycerine content was moderately unstable. If a sticky
bomb was active and accidentally stuck to the clothing, the user would have
to think fast in order to rid himself of the grenade or his cloths by equal
probability. The No.74 did not see much use and acted more as an improvised
explosive rather than a regular battle tool.

--------------------------
The Sticky Bomb in CoD3
--------------------------

Only available in multiplayer mode, the Sticky Bomb is more useful against
tanks and other armored vehicles rather than infantry, as it has a relatively
short blast radius and does not bounce, reducing its effectiveness. It does,
however, stick to any surface, even human flesh, making for some unusual
antics if anyone so happens to get lucky.

The Sticky Bomb has a fuse which lasts for the same amount of time as the
other two hand grenades found in CoD3, as well as the same arming time (which
is basically zero seconds). When using, the player should be careful that
there aren't any teammates or obtrusive objects (the latter of which won't
usually yell at you in the case that you tag them) in the way that the
grenade may get caught on. You should also resist the urge to bounce the
grenade into a position, since this will fail 9 out of 10 times or less.

The Sticky bomb doesn't have as wide of a range as the fragmentation grenade,
but is very powerful when the target is on top of it. It is important to note
that the grenade is not officially designated the No.74 in the game, but it
most resembles that than any other grenade in WW2, which is what it is
referred to in this guide.

:===========================================================================:
8.6 – Rifle Grenade
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Schiessbecher; M7 grenade launcher
Country of origin: Germany; USA
Caliber: 30mm
Available to: Axis; Allies
Blast radius: 5-6 feet (1.9 meters)
Effective range: 250 feet (80 meters)

-------------------------------
History of the Rifle Grenade
-------------------------------

The idea behind the invention of the rifle grenade has always been to utilize
a method of getting a grenade to a target farther and faster. The method of
propulsion is by fitting a grenade launcher to the end of a rifle's barrel
(usually consisting of a tube the same size as the bore and a "cup" to fit
the grenade onto) and using a special blank round to the fire the grenade
from the barrel. Some argue that this method is superior to using an attached
grenade launcher (like the M203) to fire the grenade from under the barrel,
as it is considerably lighter, plus regular infantry grenades can be used,
and soldiers can use one at any time if they are equipped with one.

The M7 and Schiessbecher, produced by Germany and America respectively, both
use the same launching mechanism. The user would attach the launcher to the
end of the muzzle and load a grenade on the end, and then insert a blank
cartridge so that the gas pressure may push the grenade from the end of the
barrel instead of a bullet. The grenades were either impact fused (detonates
when hitting an object) or time fused (using the usual fuse timer). Both the
Schiessbecher and the M7 use special grenades (not the standard
Stielhandgranate or Mk.2) so two separate grenades had to be carried with a
soldier.

When firing a rifle grenade, the recoil was particularly great, much more so
than firing a standard cartridge since it takes more energy and power to
propel a grenade than a .30 inch bullet, so the firer would often place the
butt of the rifle on the ground. The grenades could travel as far as 150
meters, and made excellent anti-tank weapons due to their speed and power.
Both of these grenade launchers remained in service throughout WW2 and were
used extensively.

The Rifle grenade in CoD3

Like the sticky bomb and AP mine, the rifle grenade is only available in
multiplayer and is only issued to the Rifleman class, making its use pretty
exclusive. With the right angle and a good helping of luck, a soldier can hit
a target from as far as 80 meters away.

It is hard to judge the trajectory of the grenade at first, and takes a
little bit of getting used to. Hitting a target can be based off of several
factors: distance from the target, elevation, the time it takes for a grenade
to get to its impact point, and basically predicting where the target will be
when that happens. For mobile targets, the rifle grenade may not be useful at
long range, but up close it is actually quite effective (especially for
soldiers armed with the Kar98k who are at a distinct disadvantage in tight
quarters).

It takes several rifle grenades to destroy a tank, but unless you rank up in
battle, you'll usually only be issued with one, reducing its effectiveness
against armored vehicles. Also, the grenade's blast radius is comparatively
short to other hand grenades. Thus, the rifle grenade is best used against
single targets at close to medium range that are on a direct approach.
Otherwise, it is not always guaranteed to do its job.

9.0 – Miscellaneous Weapons
:===========================================================================:

Any weapon that does not fall under a certain category is placed here. This
includes stationary weapons like the Pak43, the Trench Gun, and tanks.

The Medic carries the Trench Gun in multiplayer, as well as a pistol, smoke
grenades, and the "revive" ability.

:===========================================================================:
9.1 – Trench Gun
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Winchester M1897
Country of origin: USA
Available to: All forces
Caliber: 12-Gauge
Feed mechanism: 6-round fixed tube magazine
Operation: Pump action

:===========================================================================:
History of the Trench Gun
:===========================================================================:

Another flawless design from the famous gun designer John Moses Browning, the
Model 1897 was a descendant of the first pump-action shotgun to really catch
on with the public, the Model 1893 (also developed by Browning). It used a
tubular magazine under the barrel to feed shells into the action, which were
chambered using a "pump fore-grip," operated by racking the grip back and
foreword again. This ejected an empty shell and cocked the hammer on the
rearward stroke and chambered another on the return stroke. When the user
pulled the trigger, the external hammer was released and hit the firing pin,
which fired the shell. It was chambered for the powerful 12-gauge shotgun
shell, which held a multitude of small pellets in front of the powder charge,
spraying them in a conical pattern. The design became popular among many
sport shooters and hunters and was known for its reliability in poor
climates.

During WW1, a detachment of soldiers were deployed in Western Europe armed
with modified M1897 shotguns, fitted with a perforated barrel jacket and a
bayonet lug for attaching the M1917 bayonet (used on the US Enfield 1917).
This model was nicknamed the "Trench Gun" due to its distinguished
effectiveness during trench warfare, common in WW1. The Germans were unhappy
with the status of the shotgun used in the war to spray its troops with
buckshot, but their protest was dismissed. The Trench Gun saw limited use
during WW2, but was very popular with European resistance fighters such as
the French Resistance. By contrast, the US Marines used them extensively in
the Pacific Theatre of the war. M1897s are no longer produced or used by the
military, but still exist as the basis for the design of weapons such as the
Remington 870.

-------------------------
The Trench Gun in CoD3
-------------------------

Returning to multiplayer and even making a few appearances in single player,
the Trench Gun is a short range, high powered, single shot weapon. It should
only be used at short range when opponents are caught off guard, and can be
used to effectively take down a target quicker than most weapons. However, it
is effective to some degree at medium range to pepper an enemy with a small
number of pellets so they may be weakened or maybe just pissed off, and
alerted of your position.

There is no rear-sight on the Trench Gun, just simply a small sphere sight on
the front of the barrel. This is hard to see in low visibility maps, so the
top of the barrel is mainly used for targeting (not much of an issue if the
weapon is only being used at short range). Most of the time, however, you may
not need to employ the iron sights as your targets will usually remain in
spitting distance. Additionally, the Trench Gun can be used while mobile to
great effect, as the wide spray of pellets will find their mark even if the
actual shot trajectory is off by a few degrees.

The Trench Gun is issued to the medic in CoD3, who is also equipped with a
pistol for use at medium range. A medic's main job on the frontline is to
find "critically wounded" (the CoD3 term for "dead") players and inject them
with magic juice to put them back on the field. I guess the Army needed every
man they could get. Either way, the medic's job is probably the most
dangerous out of all infantry roles, but it does have its perks. Armed with
the Trench gun and smoke grenades, a medic could (in theory) deploy smoke to
cover his team's entrance to a compound or fortified position, clear the room
of any hostiles with his trusty shotgun, and revive any fallen comrades that
may be in the vicinity.

Medics also gain a point for every teammate they bring back (but the other
team still gets a point for the kill), making achieving points in a ranked
match easy to do. But the enemy knows this, too, and with the ability to
bring back a target that they just killed, will make medics a primary target.
That's why it's typically not a good idea to expose yourself in favor of
helping a wounded ally and use cover to your advantage.

9.2 – Granatenwerfer
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Granatenwerfer 34
Country of origin: Germany
Caliber: 80mm
Blast radius: 20 feet (6.33 meters)
Max range: 316 feet (100 meters)

------------------------------
History of the Granatenwerfer
------------------------------

The Granatenwerfer 34 was an addition to the line of squad mortar weapons
used by the German Army in WW2. First arriving on the battlefield sometime
during WW1, the modern man-portable mortar has always been a way of providing
a mobile infantry unit with increased firepower and the ability to provide
long range light artillery support. Before the invention of the man-portable
mortar (developed by a British scientist named William Stokes), the idea of
propelling a muzzle-loaded explosive over wide ranges had existed for
hundreds of years, ranging anywhere from 120mm to as much as a meter in
diameter. But it was not until the aforementioned British scientist developed
the modern mortar that consisted of a tube that fired a self-propelled
explosive shell instead of firing a projectile separate from the charge.

It's name simply meaning "grenade thrower," the Granatenwerfer 34 was
produced by Rheinmetall in 1932 and was adopted into service in 1934 as
Germany's standard mortar weapon. It was essentially a metal tube with a
bipod for elevation adjustments and a rear mortar plate. It proved to be very
accurate and reliable, an excellent weapon on the field, and stayed in
service until the end of WW2. Although an attempt was made to replace it with
the Gr.W.36, it proved to be a much better choice and remained in production,
even when the Gr.W.42 was brought into service.

-----------------------------
The Granatenwerfer in CoD3
-----------------------------

You may only be forced to use the Granatenwerfer to destroy an enemy
roadblock in one mission of the entire game, but without properly knowing how
to approach it, it can be tricky to learn. Based on the angle at which your
barrel is pointed (and there is no crosshair or trajectory indicator, mind
you the mortar will explode on impact and inflict casualties at up to 6.3
meters. Your field of fire is limited to about 60 degrees, and vertical
adjustment goes to about a straight up 90 degree angle to a low 30 degree
angle.

The higher you aim, the closer your shots will be. You will obviously need to
play around with the adjustments before you find a suitable angle. Be careful
not to aim too high, as you'll risk dropping a mortar on your own position.
To adjust your fire, you are required to rotate either thumb-stick. You use
the left thumb-stick to adjust height, and rotate to the right to go higher
or the left to go lower. The other thumb-stick controls windage. You rotate
according to which way you want to face.

Once you are ready to fire, pull the trigger and Pvt. Nichols will drop a
shell down the barrel and track its trajectory until impact. You don't need
to worry about ammunition, as it comes in unlimited supplies.

:===========================================================================:
9.3 – Pak 43
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Pak 43
Country of origin: Germany
Available to: American (captured)
Caliber: 88mm
Max range: 200 meters (in-game)
Blast radius: 30 feet (9.5 meters)

------------------------
History of the Pak 43
------------------------

Utilizing the most powerful weapon on the deadliest tank Germany had to offer
resulted in the Tiger II, which used the specially designed 88mm KwK 43
cannon. It had an effective hit range of 1000 meters and a maximum range of
over 4000 meters. It was a derivative of the infamous Flak 88 Artillery piece
feared by Allied soldiers of all kinds, and was even more powerful, firing a
heavier and longer cartridge with a larger charge. In addition, this weapon
could be mounted on stationary emplacements to act as anti-tank weapons, and
was dubbed the Pak 43. It utilized the recoil operation to eject the spent
shell from the breech block, where the crew would then insert a new shell
into the back.

The Pak 43 could be mounted on various armored chassis such as the
Jagdpanther and the Nashorn which acted as mobile tank-destroyers, as well as
a wheeled carriage or stationary emplacement with personal blast shields.
They were highly effective against up to 200mm of armor and could also double
as artillery pieces. They were used throughout the war until 1945 when the
war ended.

---------------------
The Pak 43 in CoD3
---------------------

Yet another singleplayer exclusive, the Pak 43 appears useable only briefly
in the campaign before being destroyed by German Tiger tanks. Use it to take
out masses of infantry or against armored SdKfz cars and tanks. It has a
similar aiming system to the Granatenwerfer where both sticks have to be
rotated to operate the weapon. After you stop rotating the stick, the weapon
will still continue to move for a brief moment before stopping, so make sure
you stop just before you reach your desired target.

The exact point of impact is indicated by a T crosshair instead of any sort
of iron sights, but this is more useful than having to guess where your shots
will land like the Granatenwerfer. Since a Pak 43 projectile will not be
affected by gravity, it is not necessary to aim above your target, as it will
hit exactly where you aim regardless of distance. You will need to track a
targets movement, though, depending on their range.

Reloading takes about 3-4 seconds, a distinct disadvantage while enveloped in
the chaos of the battle in which the Pak 43 is used. While it is a powerful
anti-tank and armored car weapon, on higher difficulties it may be a better
idea to use the bazookas placed closely at your side rather than the Pak, as
you are able to stay mobile and take cover. Overall, you should enjoy using
the Pak 43 for the brief moment that you are permitted to use it.

9.4 – Sherman
:===========================================================================:

Designation: M4A3 Medium Tank
Armaments: 75mm main cannon, M1919 .30cal coaxial,
Browning .50cal hatch gun
Powerplant: Ford GAA V-8
Top Speed: 26 mph (42 kph)

-------------------------
History of the Sherman
-------------------------

The Sherman medium battle tank was designed at the close of the WW1-era tank
traditions, based off of older M2 and M3 models. Tanks were previously used
on the battlefield to provide heavy support fire for the troops advancing
through the trenches. Apart from a basic "point A to point B" aspect, a WW1
tank's main priority was not maneuverability or speed.

With the outbreak of WW2 in 1939, however, the world became aware of what
German Panzer tanks were capable of, combining speed, power, and
maneuverability to match the German Blitzkrieg tactic. It was the birth of a
new era of tanks, and in 1940, the American M4 medium tank, or "Sherman"
after General William T. Sherman, rolled off the assembly lines. It consisted
a number of admirable features. It was fitted with the new Ford GAA 400-
horsepower engine (originally designed for aircraft) with a 12-cylinder
design, up to 70mm of armor, a powerful 75mm main cannon as well as .30 and
.50 cal coaxial guns, and a top speed of 26 mph. With these implications, the
Sherman was considered an even match for German Panzer tanks. However, the
Sherman could not hold its own against Panther and Tiger tanks later in the
war. It is calculated that a squad of at least four Shermans was a fair fight
against just one Tiger I tank.

The M4A3 saw extensive use in WW2, fighting in the newly established tank
warfare alongside the infantry. It was in ways the iron fist of the American
ground forces in the second Great War, and was manufactured in all different
shapes, sizes, and variants, outclassing the Stuart tank in most combat
situations. Models left the assembly area with all kinds of tweaks and
adjustments, such as the "Dozer" Shreman (a Sherman fitted with a bulldozer
blade for clearing obstacles and debris), 150mm Howitzer mobile artillery
models, enhanced armor variants, "tank destroyer" 90mm units, and "Kangaroo"
armored personnel carriers, to name a few. The Sherman served from its
production date in 1940 up until the early 1970s.

----------------------
The Sherman in CoD3
----------------------

With the addition of tank combat in CoD3 multiplayer, players should be
familiar with the tank and its proven capabilities on the battlefield. The
Sherman tank is basically a mobile weapon system, armed with a large main
cannon, a stationary .30 caliber machinegun mounted in the turret, and a
Browning .50 caliber heavy machinegun mounted on an independent axis on the
roof. The pilot of the vehicle is in control of the 75mm cannon and the .30
cal, as well as all movement. The tank gunner is posted on the roof and
provides 360 degree coverage with the .50.

Moving a tank is similar to moving a character. The left analog stick
controls your direction, and the right analog stick controls the turret. The
movement of the tank is relevant to the turret, not the direction in which
the tank is facing, so it is possible to use only the 'forward' control
coupled with the right analog stick to turn and maneuver the tank.

The main 75mm cannon is capable of firing one round before automatically
reloading. A reload takes about three seconds, a distinct disadvantage on the
field. When used against enemy tanks, the 75mm will take 2-3 rounds to
effectively disable the vehicle when aimed at the front, sides, and turret,
or 1-2 rounds if aimed at the tank's rear. The shell is pinpoint accurate,
and will not loose velocity or trajectory for up to 200 meters. It is
important to take advantage of the .30 caliber machinegun in the turret to
suppress enemy infantry while not using the main gun. Be sure to fire in
controlled bursts to avoid overheating.

The gunner on the top of the tank is responsible for the use of the .50
caliber anti-infantry gun, capable of rotating a full 360 degrees and a rate
of 1200 rounds per minute. The role of this gunner is very important to the
survival of the tank, as the cumbersome vehicle is easily susceptible to
anti-armor weapons and infantry that could climb onto the tank and disable it
with a grenade. A gunner's main threat is enemy snipers.
:===========================================================================:
9.5 – Panzer
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Panzerkampfwagen IV
Armaments: 75mm main cannon, MG34 coaxial, MG42
hatch gun (optional)

Powerplant: Maybach HL-120 TRM
Top speed: 25 mph (40 kph)

------------------------
History of the Panzer
------------------------

An improvement over previous WW1-era Panzer models, the Panzer IV was
designed by Heinz Guderian and entered service in October 1937. It was
produced at the same time as its cousin, the Panzer III counter-tank,
designed to combat other armored vehicles on the battlefield, while the
Panzer IV was committed to infantry. While it still used an outdated leaf-
spring track suspension as opposed to the newly-developed torsion bar
suspension, it still proved to be an excellent and effective tank.

Since the Panzer was not intended to combat other tanks on the field, it was
originally manufactured with the German L24 75mm cannon, a weapon with low
penetration and accuracy. Later, however, it was reconfigured in 1939 and
fitted with the L48 cannon, firing the same 75mm round but at much greater
speeds and power due to the greatly increased barrel length. It was with this
cannon that the German Panzer IV was able to effectively engage enemy armor
in WW2. The only tank capable of besting the Panzer was the powerful Russian
T-34 encountered in 1941, and became the basis for the German Panther tank of
1942. Even with the production of the terrifying Tiger I tank, though, the
Panzer IV remained in great supply throughout the entire war, becoming the
platform for most of Germany's mobile armor and artillery variants.

During the war, a total of 9,000 Panzer IV variants were produced, the most
of any German tank during this time period. They were used in all theatres of
the war, from North Africa to Moscow, and became a symbol of power and fear
within the Allies' ranks.
---------------------
The Panzer in CoD3
---------------------

The German counterpart to the Allied Sherman tank, the Panzer is also
encountered in multiplayer mode and fully operable by the player. Except for
visuals, the Panzer is identical to the Sherman in literally all aspects. It
is armed with a main 75mm gun, an MG34 coaxial machine gun, and oddly, an
American Browning .50 caliber M2, instead of a German MG42. For further
information on the tank's weapons and performance, see 9.4.

The only advantage a Panzer might have over a Sherman is its slightly smaller
silhouette. A Sherman is actually larger and bulkier than a German Panzer
tank, so out of two tank operators on equal playing fields, the one round
that the Sherman might miss could guarantee victory for the Panzer.

As always, tank operators should be wary of enemy infantry at all times, as
an Anti-Armor soldier could easily destroy a tank with just one rocket to the
rear. Equally, soldiers that possess grenades are capable of climbing onto a
tank's unguarded flank and dropping a grenade down the hatch, spelling
certain death for the operator. A tank should always follow friendly infantry
into combat, and not the other way around, so that either group can
effectively carry out their job.
:===========================================================================:
9.6 - Firefly
:===========================================================================:

Designation: Sherman VC-I
Armaments: 76.2mm high velocity main cannon, M1919
.30cal coaxial, Browning .50cal hatch gun
Powerplant: Ford GAA V-8
Top speed: 26 mph (42 kph)

-------------------------
History of the Firefly
-------------------------

With the beginning of the Battle of Britain in 1940, one of Great Britain's
main problems was its lack of weapons to deal with the Nazi threat. Troops
armed with Lee-Enfield rifles were no match for German troops with MP40 SMGs
and the MG34 GPMG. The only tanks that the army had were outdated WW1 models.
While designs for new vehicles and weapons went underway, the immediate
problem could not be avoided. For much of the beginning of the war, Great
Britain relied on American oversea shipment for most of their armaments, such
as Thompson submachine guns and the powerful Sherman battle tank.

After much combat experience with the American tank, it was determined that
the 75mm main cannon was ineffective against German heavy armor, so plans
went underway to re-equip the vehicle with the newly developed 17-pounder
(76.2mm High Velocity) British shell in 1944. By this time, however, the
British had introduced the Challenger tank, using this same cannon, so the
Sherman became something close to a back-up plan. Fitted with an extended
barrel to aid accuracy and muzzle velocity and the 17-pounder, the revised
Sherman was designated the VC-1, or the "Firefly" due to the bright muzzle
flash.

In turn, the Polish and Canadian tank forces received shipments of the VC-1
from Great Britain. Coupled with infantry support, squads of Firefly crews
were ale to effectively engage German Panther and Tiger tanks head on- and
win. The 76.2mm was capable of penetrating over 200mm of armor at ranges
within 1000 meters, making it a fearful match for the German 88mm cannons.

----------------------
The Firefly in CoD3
----------------------

Only used in the Polish campaign, the Firefly tank is restricted to only a
few levels of the single player mode. Tank combat in the campaign differs
slightly from multiplayer mode. First of all, the main cannon's rate of fire
is noticeably faster, and there is no .50 caliber MG mounted on the top of
the turret. You can, however, still use your coaxial .30 caliber in the hull
with the left bumper.

Second and most crucial, there is no health system. Huzzah! It is just like
controlling a soldier in that your health recharges after a few seconds. All
you really have to worry about is taking fire from enemy tanks and the
dreaded Panzerfaust. Other than that, small arms and machine gun fire will
have close to no effect on the tank.

You will encounter a few varieties of German tanks during the Polish
campaign, Panthers and Tigers mostly. Panthers will take anywhere from 2-3
(or 1 in the rear) blows from the main cannon to disable, while Tigers may
take as many as 4-5 rounds in the front or maybe 2 in the rear. Try to engage
these enemies at long range and stay mobile before they can close the gap and
surround you. While this array of German armor is no pushover, these machines
are dwarfed by the "King Tiger," the war horse that enjoys violent romps
through the neighborhood and blowing the hell out of you and your tank squad-
if you get in its way. Even the high-velocity 76.2mm cannon has no effect on
the tank's front and side armor, and it will proceed to harass you with its
88mm 'magnum.' Your only chances of knocking down this beast is by circling
around it and hitting it in its fuel canisters enough times to disable it
before it is able to bring its gun to bear.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Listen to the conversation of your colleagues, later it will be explained what
the mission will be all about. As soon as you reach the checkpoint you can
also move next to looking around, after which you follow the running soldier
along the main road. You’ll have no opposition until you reach the vehicles. A
tank will come up from the right, so stay behind cover until it gets destroyed
and then follow your team mates to the building in the outer corner to go
inside there. Follow the route through the building and let you partner kick
in the door, then you can continue. When upstairs the wall will be blown to
bits, so duck down and take cover behind the now lower wall. Defend this area
by shooting all the enemies walking around downstairs, they will be
replenished every now and then. If you walk through the building a bit and
switch positions you’ll get another goal after a while. Pick up the health if
you need it and head to the right and out of the building. Hide behind the
tank while it moves towards the enemy, but stay where you are when it heads
right because it will explode only moments later.

So keep going straight and enter the basement where your team also enters the
house. Head out on the other side, where you need to take care of the enemies
on the higher floors of the houses on the other side of the water. Follow the
route along the water until someone mentions you should stop for now. A team
mate will give a signal when it is okay to run again, so run along with the
rest when that happens. Ahead there are some more tanks which are on your side
and they will start moving when you approach them. Stat with them to take
shelter behind them and look for cover behind the debris or next to the houses
when you go around the corner to the right. Ahead is an enemy tank. It doesn’t
move but it can still shoot. Take care of the other enemies while your team
tries to blow up the tank by climbing on it. They will fail, after which it is
your task to finish their job. Move to the right to enter a building and use
the debris to get to the top floor.

On the other side of that floor is a mounted machinegun, use it to get rid of
the enemies around the Flak canon and to take out the weapon itself. After
that a door will open to the right of the machinegun, it enables you to use a
stairs to go down and to move along the water to the east. Be brave and cross
the bridge right away to get to the enemy tank. Quickly place the explosive on
the side of the tank using the black button and return to where you came from
to take cover. Run past the tank after it explodes and take shelter inside the
broken down building right in front of you where your team mates are also
hiding. Sit down next to the opening in the eastern wall and try to take cover
as well as possible while the smoke grenade is wearing off. Your objectives
will change and you’ll have to defend this area. From the east multiple
enemies will come and you have to shoot them down. Try to take care of the
enemies heading for cover behind the lower wall first before they get a chance
to do so and then take out the rest. Eventually you’ll fall to the ground
injured, don’t worry because it is supposed to happen and it means it’s the
end of the level.

\ B / CHAPTER 1: BAPTISM BY FIRE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Everyone is having a conversation when the guy behind the on board weapon gets
shot through the head. You’ll automatically take his place, so you’ll get
control over the heavy weaponry. First aim at the roofed shelter directly next
to the road, if every enemy there is taken down you can work your way to the
left where the enemies come from. Try to take them out quickly, because not
much later you will start to move and the enemies will come closer. Ahead you
will drive along the flat rock on your left, enemies will appear on it and you
can take them out easily. Harder are the enemies hiding between the buildings
ahead. Look where the bullets come from and shoot back in that direction. Keep
doing this along the entire route until you get to a fence guarded by two
towers. The right one will be automatically taken out, so focus your attention
on the left tower to take out the guy with the rocket launcher. As soon as you
bumped through the fence you can get out of the vehicle and pick up some
health. Regroup at the door where the rest of the team is already waiting. The
door will be kicked open and the enemies inside will attack you. Shoot a
couple of guys from the opening of the door, then move to the crates in the
middle and take out the rest that comes in later.

Leave the room on the other side and enter another building immediately to the
left. Wait for your men to continue through the room, clear it and head out on
the other side. The door on the left at then end of the hallway will get
kicked in, after which you have to shoot enemies on the left in the room and
straight ahead in the hallway. A door gets opened at the end of that hallway,
head out there and watch out for enemies hiding behind the tables on the right
and further back at the windows. In the little room on the side on the left
are a lot of items, including grenades and health. When you move through this
room you’ll end up outside, where you’ll meet a colleague behind the fence on
the left and the door next to him is opened. Shoot two guys inside, head up
the stairs and walk to the opening of the door on the right to reach the
hangar itself. Shoot as many enemies as possible from the safety of the door,
which enables your team to move further step by step. As soon as it calms down
you can turn around and head up the stairs next to the shelter, so that you
can reach the other side of the hangar using the walkways.

Take care of the opponents around the office on that other side and enter it
to pick up health and grenades from the desk. Go left through the storage room
and when you get to the short walkway you’ll see your team below you, help
them to take out the enemies there and walk through the next room to another
hangar. Do the same thing as in the previous one by first taking out the
enemies you can see and the moving to the other side by the overhanging
walkway. Descend to the lowest floor from there and follow the team outside
while they run there and get shot at by a crossing plane once. The door of the
next room gets kicked open, so walk inside and take out two men near the
fences. Then follow the route to the opening of the door directly connected to
the hangar. Shoot who you can see through the window and work your way to the
other side using the obstacles in the room. First make sure that the lower
rooms are empty, then head up the stairs and through an office to a door that
gets opened for you. There is quite a lot of smoke here, but just follow the
walkways and rooms to the next door that needs kicking to open and gives you
direct access to the next hangar.

Take care of the first batch of enemies, after a short while two armored
vehicles on your side will enter the hangar. Help them with taking out the
enemies that appear on the other side, you can’t reach their positions both
upstairs and downstairs. A little later one of the soldiers will open the
hangar doors so that the armored cars can exit again. Don’t go after them
until you’re ordered to do so, otherwise you’ll die and the hangar will not
get cleared. When going outside, run along the vehicles in one straight sprint
towards the corner with the bushes. Look around the corner to shoot down the
men on the southern tower, then move through the crates to the north. You’ll
run into a couple of enemies and eventually come to a door that gets opened in
the east. Walk through the room and first take out the enemy with the fast
weapon on top of the rear car in the room with the parked armored vehicles.
Use grenades to also take out the rest of the enemies and head outside on the
other side. Turn around and head up the ramp so that the next door will be
opened for you. Shoot the enemies inside and get a team member to open a door
at the end of the hall.

Continue a little and first take out everyone on the right before heading over
to the left. Climb the stairs or throw a grenade up there to secure that
floor, after which you’ll get the objective to take out two Flak canons in the
surrounding area. Walk outside and to the side of the balcony where you have a
clear view at both canons. Use the left trigger to get a better view of where
the enemies are and shoot them off the canon or throw a grenade if you want
to. Your objectives get updated every time you kill someone, a Falk canon is
useless when all the people around it are defeated and it doesn’t fire any
more. Make sure that’s the case with both canons so that your goal is
completed. Head back down and to the left at the bottom of the stairs and
outside through the next room. Run across the square and get into the Flak
canon yourself. You’ll have to shoot down five Stuka airplanes flying around
here with this canon. There are more airplanes flying around, including
American ones. The Stukas are the ones that make dives toward you and your
canon while shooting at you, but that’s also the moment they’re the easiest to
hit. Use your compass to see from which side they’ll make their dive. As soon
as five go down some other ones will make a final attack. Take them down as
well until the coast is clear, then report to the sergeant.

\ C / CHAPTER 2: TANKERS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’ll start out this level in a tank, you control the driving part with the
left stick and the turret with the right. Follow the other vehicles until you
reach an area with buildings, an enemy tank will come from the left
immediately. Take it out quickly and also the other one further down the
route. Stay behind the other tanks and follow them while paying attention to
the goals on your compass. In a valley further ahead you’ll be shot at by
enemies with rocket launchers, if you seen them you have to take them out as
fast as possible. Other enemies aren’t all that dangerous, so you don’t have
to pay attention to them. When going around the corner to the right there will
be two tanks on your route, try to see just enough around the hill to be able
to hit them and drive past them when they’re destroyed. You’ll drive into a
village with a couple of men running around, but a friendly tank also gets
blown up there. On your radar the location of a tower appear, so look in that
direction and shoot it down. A new goal will appear on your radar, a canon on
the left side. Past the buildings in the middle is another enemy tank, watch
out for it. When you continue south just a little four more tanks will come
your way.

Shoot them to bits as soon as they appear, your team will help a little.
Follow the route further between the mountains and you’ll reach an enemy
outpost. Watch where the goals appear and take out the car that takes off with
a well aimed shot, then take care of the hostile tank and destroy what you
need to hit to get a new location on your compass. Continue with your team
through the small mountain pass and stay behind when you reach the and of it,
you can see the enemy tanks from the distance and fire at them. There are at
least three tanks and when they’re destroyed you also need to take out the
canon in the middle of the large pit. Drive along with your team to bend off
to the west, where more tanks will show up. There are at least four and in
between them is another canon you need to take out. Try to hide behind the
hills a little and stay behind to avoid shots coming your way. Follow the team
to the southeast, where two more tanks appear that you just need to destroy.
Ahead there’s a canon on top of the hill to the left of the barricaded route
and it’s the last one you need to destroy. Take some distance and place your
tank on a hill to get the best view on this weapon and to be able to take it
out with a good shot. After some radio contact the enemy outpost will be
bombed and you’re done here.

/_1_\____________________________
\ D / CHAPTER 3: THE DESERT FOX /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The ride on the back the terrain vehicle starts out calmly while the men in
the front are talking, but after noticing enemy tanks things get more rough.
As soon as you get out you need to approach the parked armored vehicle and
press the black button to take place behind the on board canon. Use this
weapon to destroy the tanks that come driving over the hill. Choose one and
completely destroy it before you start shooting at another one. After
destroying quite a lot of tanks you’ll be shot out of the vehicle and the
canon is broken down, which makes you obligated to take cover. Do that at the
indicated location, in a foxhole. Shoot down the enemies that come at you from
two sides and keep them away from you. A little later the location where you
need to be switches to another foxhole more to the right, there’s a machinegun
there that you need to mount. Ignore the tanks and look at your radar where
the enemy infantry is coming from, look in that direction and mow them down.

Just before the enemy tanks come too close, reinforcements will arrive to take
them out. Take care of the remaining enemies, after which you have to talk to
your superiors at the indicated location. Two men will run in front of you,
follow them to meet more men a bit ahead. Soldier Denley will continue
running, so just run after him into the mountains. On the small route up the
hills you’ll encounter multiple enemies, especially between the ruins when
going to the west and continuing to a northern gate. Follow your team through
the rocky area and take out the enemies that are hiding there. Eventually
you’ll come to a tunnel through the rocks, which is guarded on the other end
of it by a machinegun. Use your M1 Garand to take out the guy that’s operating
it and also take out any replacements that might start using it. Descend down
the path and eventually you’ll come to the indicated location with a German
rocket launcher. Pick it up and use it against the tanks located below. You’ll
have to refill your ammunition every now and then, but at this spot it’s
unlimited.

When the three tanks are taken out a faster armored vehicle will head your
way, but it will stop eventually because a fence it blocking it. Use the
rocket launcher to take out this car as well and then switch back to your
normal weapon. Head down more and you’ll see a car from your side crash and
both men on board will die because of a sniper. Pick up the sniper rifle from
the guy who died very close to you and use it to find and shoot the sniper on
the rocks to the left of the destroyed enemy tanks through his head. On the
hill to the right of those tanks is the second sniper, located behind the
walls of the busted walls. The third one will suddenly appear more to the left
of where the first sniper was, just right when you look over the crashed car.
Stay crouched whatever you do, or he’ll take you out pretty quickly. As soon
as the snipers are down, the engineers will get to work while you need to take
place in the crashed car to be able to operate the on board canon.

Use it to mow down all the enemy troops between and to the right of the broken
down tanks. Keep it up long enough and a second terrain vehicle with sergeant
Hawkins in it will arrive. Approach him for an objective update, then follow
your team into the mountains. Shoot two men behind the rocks before going up a
stairs to get to a closed gate inside tunnel. After a short conversation the
gate gets blown open, after which you can continue to an area with buildings.
Take cover and look around to see where the fire is coming from, then take out
that shooter. It’s only safe when you ream moves further, but more enemies
will come as soon as they take cover again. Use your sniper rifle to take out
the guy on the roof behind the machinegun and also the other enemies on that
roof. Move along that building to the southwest, but watch out for more
enemies. Use your sniper rifle again to take out opponents in door openings or
at other hidden locations from afar.

Move straight ahead to walk to the left of the middle house, which enables you
to take out the man behind the machinegun from the side and use his weapon to
take out the rest between the buildings. Move towards the goal and look out
for enemies coming from the other street. When they are defeated you can
follow the route through the mountains again. Get your sniper rifle and kill
two guys behind the boxes in the outer bend as soon as they appear. At the end
of the route you’ll come to a valley that gets deeper along the way, where on
each platform there is a canon belonging originally to the Americans. Shoot
everyone around it to secure the canon and only then you move to the lower
platform. Keep to the left as much as possible near the second canon to avoid
taking damage from the plane that comes crashing down. Continue to the left
and look out for some lone enemies a bit up to the right around the last
canon. Take them out and notice the air defense armored car a little lower.
Approach it by walking around to the left and place a bomb on the front side.
Take some distance, let the car explode and end the level at the indicated
position.

\ E / CHAPTER 4: COUNTERATTACK /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After the explanation of the mission two other soldiers will run away from
here. Run after them, through the first building, across a street and quite a
distance through a second building. In the big room on the other side the
enemy attack will commence, so grab the BAR weapon of which a couple of pieces
are standing ready and shoot a couple of enemies through one of the windows.
After a while you’ll be ordered to go upstairs, so look behind you and use the
stairs to do so. Only after you’re told can you use the mounted machinegun
there, use to try and take out the enemies that are already in position and
are therefore already shooting at you. You have to keep this up long enough
until your objectives are changed. Both here upstairs and on a table down
below is a lot of health. Return to the previous street together with two team
mates, which you have two follow along multiple checkpoints until you go
through a gate on the left. There are multiple enemies inside the house, take
care of them so that your team can advance and you can follow them. Quickly
enter the house you were shooting at, because shooting will come from the
street to the right.

Work your way through the house and take out everyone inside to secure it. On
the other side you can shoot through the windows and door to shoot the enemies
that keep appearing in the house now indicated on your map. When it calms
down, run towards the door behind the low wall and enter there. Take out
whoever is in here now and take cover at the hole in the wall. A bit later two
men will try and reach the next building with the machinegun on the roof. Take
it out and follow them for the first half. One of the men will get injured,
after which a new location will be highlighted on your map. So backtrack for
quite a bit to that spot to find a medic there, address him with the black
button. You need to escort him back to where you came from, he’ll hide behind
a wooden cart. The sniper in the tower will also shoot him, look for a
position where you have a clear view of the sniper and take him out. Where the
medic got killed you can still find his equipment, go there to pick it up and
then to the wounded soldier who is sitting against the wall to fix him up.
Grab the mounted machinegun right away and keep all the enemies that appear
away from you.

After a while the building gets blown up and after that you’re told to go back
to where the rest is taking shelter as well. A little later you’ll get the
assignment to backtrack a lot, which enables you to take a different route
through a small hallway with doors. Keep following your team mates and in the
first hallway quite a lot of enemies will appear, take them out and continue
to where they came from. Once outside you need to take care of the opponents
on the balcony from the safety of the door, then carefully work your way to
the southwest using all the obstacles. Turn around, head through the gate and
take cover behind a barrel to the left while you shoot down enemies in front
of you and on the right on the platform. As soon as this part calms down you
can continue and take cover somewhere else so that you can shoot to the west
easily. First take out the enemies hiding nearby and then take care of the
ones storming down the hill while slowly advancing in that direction. Take
cover along the buildings on that hill and look out for the machinegun while
moving through the street further and further and descend on the other side.
Run to the sandbag wall and hide behind it while shooting down the enemies to
the left and in front of you one by one.

Approach the two canons and blow them up one by one with enough distance in
between. After that team mates will use the machineguns to mow down enemies at
the bottom of the hill, help them by walking in that direction and clearing
out the street. This is the spot where the sniper was and you got here from
the other side. After the conversation at the indicated location enemy tanks
will show up, so start running through the wide street away from the tank
while it’s shooting at you. You’ll be slowed down at multiple points by enemy
troops, you have to take them out quickly or else the tank will get to close
to your back. Always try to stay on the inside of a bend while shooting at
enemies, this way the tank will need for time to get you in its sight. Ahead
there’s a bend to the left where another tank shows up from the outside of it.
Don’t stay here to get rid of the enemies, first continue to run ahead so that
you’re out of the new tank’s range. It gets more crowded that way, but if you
keep moving well and stay between your team it will be perfectly doable to get
through the last wave and reach the armored truck. Get in as the last one to
end the mission.

\ F / CHAPTER 5: LIBERATORS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’ll start inside the front on board canon of bomber plane, but after the
dialog you’ll be told to get out of it. Do this with the black button and walk
past the risen wheel through the hold and get inside the dome turret in the
bottom of the airplane. Later it is mentioned that an enemy transport is
flying in front of you, so look in the direction your flying in and you’ll see
quite a lot of airplanes you need to shoot at. Look carefully where your
bullets are going and adjust your aim if necessary to hit the planes right.
Keep looking around you to find targets and keep bringing them down until
eventually your own canon will be shot and breaks down. You’ll get out
automatically and your obligated to go to the bomb sight in the front of the
plane and activate it. A little later the bomb hatches will open, so that you
can see where to drop the bombs. Move the sight slowly below a ship down below
in the water, so that the sight will go over it by flying faster. Drop one
bomb just before you get to half of the ship and another bomb just after that.
Don’t drop more than two bombs per ship, it’s enough to destroy them and more
target will show up later. After a while you’ll be told to leave here, so get
away from the bomb sight.

Take place behind the on board canon where you started, just above the bomb
visor. You’ll be attacked head on by fighters. Again you must look where your
bullets end up carefully, with these targets you need to guess where they will
go to shoot in front of them and make them catch the bullets. You need to do
this for a pretty long time, but later you’ll be ordered to take out the enemy
fighters chasing you with the on board canon in the tail. So get away from
this canon and walk through the entire plane to get behind the rear canon and
continue your job of taking out enemy fighters. After taking down a lot of
enemies backup will arrive, so make sure you wont’ fire at your own friendly
aircrafts. When there aren’t any enemy planes left you need to walk through
the entire plane again and take place behind the bomb sight one last time.
You’ll be flying over land and you can see multiple round targets in groups of
three above each other. Make sure the sight is on that line before flying
overhead and drop two bombs at the right moment. Later there’s another group
of these targets, they also need to be destroyed to finish the mission.
___
/_1_\_____________________________
\ G / CHAPTER 6: OPERATION HUSKY /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After the introduction to the mission you’ll be put behind the on board canon.
It’s not really your goal to shoot the enemies on the far beach, but it is to
take care of the mines floating around in the water. Sometimes it might be
hard to spot them, but you do have to destroy them to avoid damage being done
to your boat. There are also mines floating in front of the other boats, you
can also destroy them as long as there aren’t any mines close to your own
boat. Once on the beach you’ll get out automatically, after which you take
cover behind the rocks to the right. Run while firing along the first target,
the machinegun to the right on the hill. When you get past it you can take out
the gunners from the back so that this goal will disappear from your radar.
Continue to what appears to be an intersection, but straight ahead is blocked
so you have to go right to kill off the crew of the second machinegun. Further
along the beach is the third machinegun. Try to take out men from a distance
and then sprint towards it to take out the last ones. Approach the machinegun
when your own team is sitting there for an explanation of what is going to
happen next. Two men will run ahead while getting covering fire, but they
still get blown up. One of the two will leave a rocket launcher, as soon as
you get the control back you need to run over there and pick it up.

Use it right away to blow up the barbwire fence in the western direction. Toss
a grenade behind it to kill off some troops and then run towards their
location, take cover from the higher gunner, get the health in the corner and
work your way to the right to reach the entrance to a bunker. As soon as it
opens you can shoot the enemy behind the table, then throw a grenade into the
red lit door opening to take out the guy with the machinegun behind the small
window. If you continue just a bit, more men will come from the left, so
retreat and take them out from the opening of the door. Then go left and up
the stairs and wait for the door on the right to be kicked open. Move ahead to
the next bunker, where one of your team mates will throw a grenade inside. You
don’t really have to shoot at the men behind the door that opens, they will be
gone after the explosion. Head into the bunker, pick up the health and let
someone else open the other door to get outside again. Shoot down the enemies
immediately on the left and continue through the trenches. There are two
bunkers on the right, one that goes up where there’s also health and one just
past it. You can already shoot enemies through the window opening, then you
need to go out of the bunker to the left and walk through the trenches to
reach the next bunker. Inside you can find stairs leading down and also more
enemies of course.

Head out of the bunker on the left and through the trenches and to the next
one. You’ll come to a room with a lot of stuff, including health. In the
hallway to the left is a man behind a machinegun in the little opening, shoot
him by peeking around the corner and hitting him before he hits you. Continue
ahead to the next bunker and the burning hallway. You can’t exit through
there, but you need to place a bomb on the wall just left of it to make a new
exit. It’s pretty crowded outside, with a lot of enemies on and around the
bridge. Stay here and wait until a smoke curtain is made, just like someone
said. As soon as you get the signal you have to run through the smoke to the
openings in the bridge. Behind it are a lot of enemies, so use grenades and
peek around the corner to empty the place out. Climb the stairs and take cover
behind obstacles to attack enemies ahead on the bridge from relative safety.
Advance over the bridge bit by bit and get some health from the building in
the northwest, then continue between the buildings left of it. Take cover
right away when you get upstairs, work your way to the right and eventually to
a building to the left in the west. There is a lot of opposition here taking
cover well and throwing grenades regularly. Stay covered well and run away if
you hear a metal bouncing noise. Once up there you need to run through a house
on the left side of the road and reach all the locations on your compass,
along the tanks and with opposition from enemies.

You’ll fight your way through streets with quite a lot of obstacles, so use
them to be able to advance and your team will help as well. Eventually you’ll
meet soldiers from your army, one of them says someone is looking for you.
You’ll find this man a bit further ahead and he’ll give your team a new
objective. Follow your team mates through the basement of a few buildings
while being fired upon with mortars. Get up the stairs at the end and take
cover when you get outside. First direct your attention to the enemies
appearing in the corner on the right, when your team advances you can follow
them to the left. Behind the arches you’ll find the men you were looking for
and after a conversation a heavy attack in your direction will follow. Stay
crouched behind the walls and shoot everyone that tries to come over to your
position. Watch out when they succeed, because they’ll hit you from the side.
Take care of fast firing enemies quickly and watch your compass, it will
indicate when to change positions. After staying on the second position for a
while you’ll be told to take out a tank. So move through the cover of the
buildings towards the location of that tank and make sure there are no enemies
around it. New opponents will appear when you get close, so quickly place the
bomb and run back for cover. Return to the indicated position and after a
while the threat will disappear, so regroup with your sergeant.

/_1_\________________________
\ H / CHAPTER 7: PIANO LUPO /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As soon as the conversation is interrupted abruptly by some Stukas you have to
move to the indicated armored vehicle and press the black button when standing
next to it to get behind the air defense turret. The vehicle will start to
move and you need to take down the Stukas. You can bring a couple of them down
while moving to the next location, but when you stop there you’ll need to do
it more actively. Carefully watch your compass to see where the attacking
planes come from and shoot them down before they can damage the material. Keep
blasting them and eventually your vehicle will start moving again, but you’ll
stop again soon between the hills where a couple of American canons are placed
and you need to protect them. It’s not really a problem when the attacking
planes let loose a bomb every now and then, but you do need to shoot them out
of the sky eventually. When you succeed in doing so you’ll be removed from the
vehicle and need to continue on foot. Climb the hill in the direction of the
indicated location and you’ll regroup with your team mates, after which you
can continue. Shoot the enemies at the wall on the other side from behind the
wall over here and wait for a plane to crash, after which a team mate will
kick open the fence and you can walk past the crash area.

Dive behind another wall and take care of the opposition around the hut, pay
attention to the weaponry inside the hut as well. Only after everyone is down
will the next fence be opened, so that you can pick up ammunition and health
before your team holds up at the top of a hill. Down below is an enemy convoy
and you have to mark three vehicles for bombardments with binoculars. Use the
left trigger to aim, as soon as you see the red visor appear on the vehicle
you can pull the right trigger to mark it. Do that to the vehicles you can do
it to and be patient. A bit later the whole scene will blow up and then you
can descend to the bridge. Cross over it and follow the route along the water,
where on the others side you colleagues will get bombed by Stukas. Make your
way to the ruins and work your way through them in a western direction. You’ll
reach a lowered square where you first have to kill everyone before you can
move up the bridge in the north and continue to the southwest. Walk through
the dried out river and before you reach the next bridge an enemy vehicle will
stop on top of it. Take care of the men inside and walk underneath the bridge
and continue. You’ll come to a crashed terrain vehicle where there’s a
friendly surviving medic. Get the sniper rifle from the killed soldier and
follow the route through the river.

To the right of the river you’ll be attacked by a few soldiers, mow them down
and follow the bend to the left. Ahead there’s a big hill with a couple of
enemies on it. Make sure you shoot at least the gunners behind the two
machineguns with your sniper rifle, so that you can advance bit by bit.
Eventually you’ll reach another survivor, after which you climb out of the
river on the south side and follow it to the east around a large hill.
Approach the group of men at the entrance of the tent in the outpost, after
which you’re sent into the tunnels ahead. You can see a couple of tanks when
walking across a bridge and when you reach the bunker at the end it gets blown
up. Walk outside to the left and then down the hill. Take place behind the
machinegun on the small platform and shoot all the enemies coming for you. Use
your radar to see where they’re coming from and watch out for the armored cars
that arrive now and then, filled with multiple men. As soon as the troops are
defeated and the bombings start you have to continue to the western tunnels.
Walk past the window opening of the bunker and continue through the tunnel. An
explosion will follow, after which you walk outside.

Approach the bunker door and wait for two men to open it up. Climb the stairs
to get all the way to the top, where the sergeant will give you new orders.
Descend all the way back down again and enter one of the three western bunkers
to pick up a rocket launcher. A lot of tanks will come up from the west. Shoot
at them with the rocket launcher and take some distance from the opening while
reloading, which also enables you to pick up more projectiles for the rocket
launcher. The tanks will demolish the bunker you’re in piece by piece. When it
doesn’t offer any protection anymore you have to move to another bunker, but
keep firing until all tanks are destroyed. Also move to another bunker if you
can’t hit a specific tank. As soon as the tanks are beaten you need to head
back to the main bunker, head all the way to the top and move over to the
window opening to use your binoculars again. There are three tanks located on
your compass and you need to mark them by aiming at it with your binoculars.
This will make that red visor appear again, which indicates you have to pull
the right trigger to mark the target. Do this with all three indicated tanks
and then wait patiently for how things end up.

\ I / CHAPTER 8: FAREWELL TO FRIENDS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Your ride on the tank will be roughly disturbed when you reach the gate at the
town entrance and the tank in front of you gets blown up. Join the leader
located a bit ahead and make your way to the street to the west. Use the
obstacles to take cover behind and advance bit by bit when the closest enemies
are defeated. At the end of the street is a building at the intersection where
enemies are shooting outside of the windows, first take care of them before
going around the corner to the right slowly and take out the opposition there.
A little further you’ll be warned about a machinegun, after which you and
another soldier are ordered to take it out from the side. As soon as Kelly
starts running you follow him, to the end of the street to some fellow
soldiers shooting to the left. Carefully look around the corner and shoot
everyone in front and between the obstacles. Move in that direction and shoot
the one on the balcony op on the left before going inside through the hole in
the wall to the left. Head immediately right and up the stairs. Shoot the two
man, specifically the one behind the machinegun, and then any opponents that
might stand on the balcony on the other side of the street.

Your team can proceed, you need to head back down where the door gets kicked
in (There’s a lot of health to the left of it!) so that you can join the rest
of the team. Follow the street to the follow soldiers blocking it of. When you
come close enough they will get blown up and a team mate will die when trying
to open the door to the left. Enter the building and right out of it to the
left to take out the enemies at the next building before walking through it.
Take care of the opponents on the other side of the street and also head
inside over there. To the left there are grenades and health, then continue to
the north and follow the team to a building at the edge of a market square.
Against the boxes there’s an MG34 machinegun, pick it up and go up the stairs
to the left. Place the machinegun out of the window with the left trigger, so
that you can take on everyone outside downstairs and on the balconies from
that position. When your team advances and there’s nobody for you to shoot you
can head back downstairs and also enter the square. There are enough places
where you can bring your machinegun in position again, but you can also fire
while walking.

Move into the direction of the enemies and while you’re shooting them a tank
will come up from the northwest. Move away to the south and clear the square
from any remaining enemies, after which you can continue through the street in
a southwest direction. On multiple locations you’ll be slowed down by enemies
on the street, against the buildings and on balconies. Advance slowly until
finally two American tanks come from a street to the left. The first one will
get blown up a little further, after which you can take cover behind it to
take out the enemies on the left. Make your way to the intersection and look
out for the hidden enemies with machineguns, also up high in the church. Clear
the entire crossing and then head over to the right. Fight your way from the
well to the end of the street, where you can eventually enter the church on
the left. Search for the enemies between the obstacles and also take them out
on the higher floors. When you continue into the church more enemies will come
out of a door in the back right, take them all out right away with a grenade
directly behind the wall. Go to the door they came out of, there’s a canon
there. Place an explosive on it, take some distance and return to the team
when the canon is destroyed.

\ J / CHAPTER 9: THE GREAT CRUSADE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’ll be standing on the back of a boat and you’ll have some time to see the
invasion of France to get on its way. As soon as the first shots get fired the
boats next to you will be taken out. You’ll regain control and some binoculars
which you can use with the left trigger, after which you can recognize and
mark targets on the beach. Use the compass to determine the global direction
and then use the binoculars. A bunker can be marked when a red circle appears
on top of it and at that moment you need to use the right trigger. There are
multiple targets and the further you get the more will become available, but
they will disappear from your radar when they’re destroyed. If you’re able to
destroy the larger bunkers you can take out smaller ones or even machinegun
nests after that, but eventually you’ll take too many hits yourself. This is
part of what is supposed to happen and after some dragging you’ll be up on
your feet on solid ground. Take cover behind obstacles and clear the enemies
and machinegun nests on all levels before you continue.

Ahead an American tank will come up the beach, but it will be stopped quickly
after you see it. Move more to the left and you’ll be blocked by barbwire
fences. Take some distance and take care of the enemies around this blockade.
When it is safe enough two soldier will move in and blow up the first
barricade, after which you have to repeat the same strategy so that they can
also blow up the second one. Make sure there’s nobody behind the machineguns,
then take out the other remaining enemies. The third barricade will be crushed
by a second tanks, but it will be destroyed right after that. The guy that did
is the one on the left in the machinegun nest with a rocket launcher. Take him
out quickly and work your way over there. You’ll find a lot of items there,
including health, and you can use the machinegun to take out the enemies
inside and around the bunker in the southwest. Continue in that direction to
find a hole in the barbwire fence and enter the trenches there. Follow the
route to the other side and take out the soldiers along the way and in the
alcoves. Ahead you’ll reach an intersection, take the route to the right.
You’ll end up at the same location, but you’ll have a better position to shoot
from.

Fire at the enemies between the obstacles down below and also on the balconies
up higher until they don’t appear anymore and especially pay attention to the
machine guns, then you can head over to the right towards the bunkers. Watch
out for two men standing on the corners and a third one that throws down
grenades. Once inside the bunker you first have to clear it, then demolish the
radios. Your engineers will move to blow up the large bunker gate down below,
so you have to cover them with the machinegun in the bunker window. Keep
killing enemies until the gate is destroyed, then follow the route back down
and move through the new entrance with your team. Watch out for the machinegun
while you move through the twisting route and make your way to another bunker
collection. At the two stairs you can go left for ammunition and health, but
you have to go right to be able to continue. In an alcove on the right is the
first mortar team, just throw a grenade inside to get rid of them. You do have
to go inside there to place an explosive on the mortar launcher and blow it
up. Follow the bunker further and use a stairs to get outside again.

Head immediately to the right into another bunker and clear it from enemies,
after which you look for a stairs on the side. The second mortar launcher is
there including the crew, so shoot them all and blow up the equipment. On the
other side of the bunker you can go out again and cross over using some
boards. Do that and head to the left into another bunker. Work your way to the
exit on the other side, where you need to go immediately right to see the
third target. Defeat the troops and blow up the mortar launcher. Then you need
to backtrack a little through the bunker you came out of, after which you can
continue in an eastern direction to storm the warehouse. Use the obstacles for
cover and work your way to the door, then use the opening of the door to take
out a few people inside already. When you get a little further inside the gate
will be closed. You have to use the ladder in the back left corner, walk to
the other side and get to the back room through the opening. Take out everyone
there and flip the switch on the opposite wall. Your team will join you again,
but things go wrong again when they try to open the next gate.

Take cover near the opening of the door and take out the enemies behind the
walls ahead with some well aimed shots and also the ones that come running
after that. You have to destroy the canon there, but it will likely be blown
up by a team mate. Continue north and shoot from the hill whoever you can hit,
then head into the bunker on the left and through it to end up down below.
There are two towers you’re being shot at from, make sure you take out at
least the enemy in the closest one. Fight your way to the bunker with the big
canon on top of it and clear the area of enemies. Using the bunker you can get
through and head up a stairs to get onto the roof. Grab the machinegun
immediately to the left and shoot at the endless flow of enemy troops. Keep
them outside of the fence and first take out the closest ones. A little later
a timer will appear on screen, this is how long you have to keep this up. As
soon as the timer is up you need to leave here and grab some health from
inside the bunker if necessary before you take place behind the large canon.
Four bunkers will appear on your radar, or actually two consisting of two
parts both. Aim at them and blow them up. Do it quickly and when you succeed a
fuel depot entrance will slide open a bit more to the right. Blow it up as
well and you’re done here.

\ K / CHAPTER 10: AN EASY DETAIL /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After the conversation in which the mission is explained you’ll automatically
get on board of the terrain vehicle. Together with a couple of other cars
you’ll drive along a pretty long route while you don’t have to do anything,
only look around if you like. Eventually you’ll reach an area where there are
a lot of things burning with a lot of smoke, where you’ll end up being
attacked by German armored cars. As soon as you reversed and are driving
forward again you have to look behind you and use the on board canon to fire
at the armored cars. Look out though, because they’re driving between the
fellow terrain vehicles. If you hit them enough the cars will be taken out at
predetermined locations along the route, that’s how you have to get rid of
about three armored cars. It will all end when you bump into a tree, after
which you have to continue on foot. Move behind your team down the hill and
take cover between the ruins of the buildings. Turn around and hide behind the
broken walls, because a lot of enemies will come from the direction you just
came from. Take them out wave by wave, then continue by following your team.
From the hill you first need to take out the two machineguns, then the
remaining enemies.

Pick up the items between the obstacles and switch your weapon as mentioned
for an MG34. In the east is a road where trucks will stop and a couple of
opponents will get out. Place your MG34 on a rock with the left trigger and
mow everyone down, also a bit more to the left and right. Follow the sergeant
further towards the forest, you need to move through it while it’s raining
bombs. So pay close attention to your compass to keep an eye on where your
team as and be able to follow them. Eventually you need to climb over a wall
and run of to a farmhouse, more Americans will join you from the left. Stay
near the bridge and take out the gunner behind the machinegun on the higher
floor before walking across it. Go left around the building and take out two
enemies between the crates before you come to the door that gets kicked in.
There are quite a lot of enemies inside, so look and shoot carefully from the
opening of the door. Also check the floor above and the room to the right.
When everyone in the building is taken out you can find a lot of health and
ammunition in that room, which you can use to defend the building. From the
south a lot of enemy troops will come and you can mow them down with the MG34
by placing it in the window and firing it.

After a while an armored car will come up and you need to take it out with a
rocket launcher. To do so, head into the main room and up the stairs to the
attic and grab the rocket launcher in the southwestern corner. Destroy the
armored vehicle and change the rocket launcher for the sniper rifle also here
at the attic. Shoot the enemies until a tank comes up that will stop on top of
the bridge. Then take cover by going downstairs and then outside. The tank
will be destroyed not much later by the bombs of an airplane, after which you
have to rejoin your team to get an update of the mission objectives. Then
follow your team over the road to a German blockade. Take cover behind the
vehicles and take out the enemies one by one, especially paying attention to
the machinegun up on the hill to the right. When the area is clear one of your
team members will kick open a fence so that you can continue. Walk through the
orchard behind your team and change to the direction of the crashed plane.
Enemies will come from the building on the right, shoot them from afar and
when they’re defeated it seems that nobody survived the crash. So run along
and up the hill to follow the team, the blockade is kicked in so that you can
move to the first canon to the right.

Take out its crew and place the explosive to blow up the canon. Follow your
team along the route to the next canon. You’ll come to a vehicle and a
blockade, take care of the enemies there and also the crew of the next canon.
Blow it up as well and walk back a little to go through an opening in the
wall. In the field ahead is the third canon, shoot your way there and make
sure the field is clear before you blow it up. You’ll be ordered to secure the
farm, the entrance to it is on the east side. There are only like two enemies
inside and there’s health on the floor. Two men of your team will pull open
the other doors, after which you can see a large hill and the rest of the farm
to the left. A couple of enemies will come out of the basement, shoot them and
then continue to the left. Secure the pit around the canon, blow it up and
return to the fence in the wall just next to the truck. The sergeant will get
hurt pretty bad here, but you need to walk more to the left. Shoot the two
enemies that open a hatch in the house on the higher floor and then continue
past it. Storm the hill from this left side and take cover next to the tent.
Throw some grenades and shoot everyone still standing to clear out the entire
outpost. When that’s done you need to get back to the sergeant to see how he’s
doing.

\ L / CHAPTER 11: CRUCIFIX HILL /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As soon as you reach the shore with the boat you’ll be in control again, after
which you walk up the hill and follow the road to the left. Take cover to take
out the Germans around the truck and when they’re defeated you’ll come to an
American tank on the bridge. It will get blown up, after which you continue to
the northwest. The tanks you head over to will be demolished as well and
you’re obligated to make way to the left and walk through the forest. You’ll
approach a cemetery where there are a lot of enemies. Fight your way there and
head through the gate to take shelter behind the walls while firing at enemies
that do the same thing. Work your way to the left along the outer wall of the
cemetery until you get to an opening in the fence. Clear out all the enemies
there and kill the operators of the machineguns ahead through the bars of the
fence. To the right on the hill is another one, but first just run straight
ahead and clear out the bunker to your left. Then head up the stairs and fight
your way through the trenches. Ahead there’s an opening on the right to the
bunker you walked past earlier, shoot the enemies and check the bunker for
ammunition and health. Follow the trenches further to the north and you’ll
come to an intersection. Stay crouched and take a right. Advance bit by bit
and take out enemies behind obstacles and in the alcoves before you move.

When you’re able to see the enemies behind the machineguns on the hill in the
middle you can take them out from here already. Eventually the trenches will
get a roof and you head around the corner to the left. Shoot the men in the
room and in the next one you can head both left or right. First check the left
to make sure it’s safe there and then take the other door to get to the
indicated air defense turret. Blow it up and continue in the direction you
scouted a little earlier. Look out for the gunner of the roof of the bunker on
the hill while in the trenches and head left at the intersection. Shoot the
men from cover and blow of the canon in the small trench to the side. Return
to the intersection and now take the other direction. Fight your way to the
next intersection, where most of the enemies come from the left. Don’t go too
much to the right or you will lure more enemies your way. A bit more to the
left is a bunker entrance. Press yourself against the wall, kill whoever comes
outside and also secure the inside. Outside there’s a ladder next to the
opening of the door. First try to take everyone out on the roof and then climb
up. Place the bomb on the canon and jump back down, now you have to head into
the direction you first skipped, in the north. Defeat the enemies along the
way to the roofed section and in the second room, then continue outside and
shoot everyone appearing at the next door opening.

Inside there are more enemies located around the block in the middle. Use
grenades and get them one by one by moving in carefully. Head out on the other
side, where you approach a bigger bunker. Stay away and shoot at the heads
that appear at three different places (Two windows and a busted wall!).
Continue a little and also get the enemy behind the window next to the door.
To the left at de side branch the enemies have to be killed as well before
someone of your team kicks open de bunker door. Move from door to door and
always keep in mind that enemies might emerge from it. Eventually you’ll reach
a stairs, shoot the guy at the top and also cross the next floor while taking
care of two more men. You’ll find a door you can use to go back outside again
and after which you have to travel through trenches for quite a while. Shoot
your way to the next bunker, clear it and be on your way. First take care of
the machinegun nest to the left of the route and move carefully like you’ve
been doing lately. You’ll come to another bunker, take out the guy inside from
as far as possible and take your time to take out the enemies coming from the
left before you move past the bunker and clear it as well. Then you have to
move through more trenches to the southwest and you’ll reach a room with more
enemies after taking out a few along the route. Clear the room and move out on
the other side.

There are quite a few enemies in the alcoves, so work your way from alcove to
alcove and eventually to the bend to the right. At the end is bunker that’s
heavily guarded. First take out the gunner behind the left window and whoever
is standing outside, then toss a grenade inside and carefully approach the
opening of the door. Left, right and in the middle are enemies, use grenades
and first take out the ones you can see. Clear the whole floor before
approaching the stairs. When you go up just a little a door will open
downstairs, so help your pals to take out the enemies. The top floor isn’t all
that interesting, but you can clear it for some grenades. The descend to the
lowest floor and first check the room on the left before going to the hallway
on the right. Clear the room at the end of that hallway with a grenade and
walk up to it. First take the opening on the right, take out two men and
collect ammunition and health at the end. Then head the other way and walk
outside. Immediately take cover because many enemies will come from the west.
You have to in that direction, so fight your way there through the trenches
and you can blow up the canon after killing everyone. Return to the
intersection and now head to the right. You have to fight your way to another
canon again and blow it up, then do the same thing at the other end of the
intersection you haven’t been to yet. As soon as all three canons are
destroyed you can return to your men at the intersection.

/_1_\_____________________________
\ M / CHAPTER 12: THE LAST TRAIN /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You have to wait a bit until the American tanks have passed you and cleared
the first section for you. As soon as you get control you have to run towards
the street. An enemy is on the top floor of the house right in front of you
and he’ll open the window to fire at you with a machinegun. Hide behind the
building to the right and take him out carefully. The building to the left of
the road will be stormed by your team, but the windows on the side will also
open. Shoot whoever you see through these windows and clear the area inside.
The check the house on the other side of the street and secure it before you
continue to follow the road. After the bend to the left behind the tank you
have to take shelter in the incline to the left of the road. From the
northwest quite a lot of enemies will come up running, but usually they stay
behind the fence. Take them all out and watch around the corner to the left.
The machinegun is taken out by the tanks and the windows of the house west of
you will be opened. Take out everyone inside, which makes the tanks advance so
that you can continue as well. Both on the left and right are buildings where
enemies are inside.

Choose a building and quickly secure the bottom floor so that you can run
inside and take shelter from the shooters inside the other building. Clear the
upper floor as well to that the entire building is cleared and then do the
same to the building on the other side of the road before you follow the tanks
again. Ahead there are some stables being opened on the left, repeat your
actions by taking out everyone inside and do the same to the building on the
opposite side of the road. Further ahead one of both tanks gets blown up,
after which you have to take cover in the house left of the remaining tank.
Many hostile troops will attack you and take their position. As soon as you
shoot someone on one position a replacement will show up that will hide in the
same location. Take care of all the opponents this way until the waves stop
and a bombing follows. A team mate will knock open the door in the corner to
the left, after which you have to follow him outside. There’s a Flak canon on
the square aiming at you, so you’ll need to move quickly and you can only stop
at places where the canon can’t hit you. Work your way around the square
clockwise and take out enemies until you get the objective to take out the
canon. First make sure the coast is clear and there are not shots anymore,
then place the explosive and take some distance.

The tank will start to drive again, follow it to where it pushes the car wreck
aside. Someone will shoot from an upper window to the left of the road, take
out that guy. To the right of the road are more stables and multiple enemies
are inside, clear the stables and also the building across from it so that the
tank will start to move again. It will stop right at the next two buildings,
so you’ll need to kill all the enemies inside the buildings on both sides of
the road. Ahead is a bend to the right, the tank will move back because there
are enemies with rocket launchers. You have to take them out, so try to hit
them from afar and stay in motion when they fire at you. The machinegun
doesn’t have to be taken care of, just make sure you kill the men trying to
take position until the tank starts moving again. It will stop in the corner
next to the building where the enemies are. A lot of enemies will come out of
the house and from behind the fence, use grenades and the cover of the tank to
kill them all. When that’s done the barn to the left will open, where there
are of course more enemies. Use the window and the obstacles to see them and
take them out, after which you have to regroup with the team and you’ll
eventually get control over the confiscated tank. Drive it outside and follow
the obvious route.

You don’t have to fire at singe enemies unless they have rocket launchers, but
machinegun nests are alright. When you reach the first bridge fire at the
canon right in front of you before it can be used. As soon as you’re driving
to the west again an enemy tank will appear in front of you. Take it out
quickly and continue, then aim to the right behind you to blow up a not moving
tank along the road. Near the buildings ahead there are two more, try to
maneuver in such a way so that they can’t fire at you at the same time. Follow
the route further until you can see another canon in the distance. Shoot It
from afar and prepare for three enemy tanks between the houses ahead. Face one
tank at once and count on the help of the American tank behind you. Drive east
and down the hill, where another tank will come up to you. Blow it up and
surprise the second tank by driving around the house on the left and attacking
it from the side. There’s another tank in the distance, take it out quickly
and continue to the buildings. Another tank is standing on top of the hill and
you’ll be shot upon with a rocket launcher from the right. Take out the tank
and blow up the fuel wagon of the train to the right of that tank before you
can continue. Cross over to the other side of the track to finish the mission.

\ N / CHAPTER 13: THE DRAGON’S TEETH /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After the short introduction you start this level by following your team along
the road until you reach a bunker past a few barricades. There are enemies on
multiple positions, when you shoot them they will be replaced by new
opponents. So try to get a little closer between shots and make your way to
the back side of the bunker. The door will open when you get close, after
which you take out everyone inside to secure this bunker. The bunker is just a
little further. Run at it in a straight line and press against the wall to the
wall left of the window opening. Enemies will come from the left, so shoot
them and work your way in that direction to also get to the enemies between
the crates behind the bunker. Approach the door in the back side at the end of
the stairs and toss a grenade inside when the door opens. As soon as this
bunker is secured you need to get back to the team at the other side, the path
is free after a bombing. Follow the rest of your team down the hill and to the
left. You’ll approach some towers and obstacles you can hide behind. Run
towards the tanks and aim at guy behind the machinegun in the middle tower.

Take him out and after that the other guy in the same tower. Everyone you
shoot will be replaced, so take this chance to run immediately to the
northeast through all the fences and dragon teeth. Try not to stop and to take
out the oncoming enemies while running, shoot your way to the safe position
below the balcony of the right tower. Now the hard task of storming the hill
behind it awaits you. Enemies you shoot are still being replaced here, so at
least make sure that the machinegun left of the road isn’t being used and then
make an attempt to run up the hill. Shoot everyone down and collect health
from behind the machinegun. Descend using the stairs to get to the bunker
entrance, it will open and enemies will come out right away. Mow them down
just as quickly and do the same thing at the next door or use some grenades.
Follow the main hallway of the bunker ahead and remove all the enemies from
the branches on the side. At the second bunker window on the left you can find
a sniper rifle next to it. At the end you’ll find another bunker window which
gets blown to pieces so that you can leave the bunker here. Crouch down and
move down while staying as close to the wall as possible to get to the wide
trench going through the area.

Follow this trench and shoot all the opponents along the way. Exit on the
other side and shoot your way to the east. Use the newly acquired sniper rifle
to take out the gunners behind the machineguns on the other side of the bridge
while descending towards that bridge, meanwhile the canon across the water
will be destroyed and a plane will crash into the bridge. Shoot the last
enemies on the other side before you make a run for the part below the bridge
with a fast firing weapon. Duck down behind some crates, take out the couple
of enemies and prepare for a hellish job when going up on the other side.
Carefully look over the edge and shoot whoever you can see, then take cover
behind the sandbags on the bridge. Enemies will keep on coming from a hut
behind the V2 rockets, so you have to take action yourself to end this. When
two men jump over de barbwire, shoot them right away and run for the V2
rockets while reloading. With the rocket position horizontally you can place
the explosive on the left side of it, with the standing one it can be done on
the side that faces the road. Try to place them as quickly as possible and
only shoot the enemies that come to close. As soon as both bombs are placed
you need to return to your team behind the sandbags where you were earlier to
finish this game and the war.

Introduction .:int01:.
===============================================================================

Hello. Welcome to my third FAQ/Walkthrough for the game Call of Duty 2 Big Red
One. This is a great game, and I'm sure you'll come to like it. That is, if you
weren't hooked from the first level like me. =)

===============================================================================
Tips and Tricks .:tip03:.
===============================================================================

These are things that will help you in the thick of battle.

1. Cook your grenades; the enemy will have less time to run
2. Lean; you can shoot, but you have less of a profile to get hit.
3. Use cover
4. Run if you hear a grenade
5. Reload before a firefight
6. Move a lot if there is no cover
7. Listen to your teammates; they know what to do
8. Use the right weapon for the job (ex. not a machine gun for sniping, a
sniper for close quarters)
9. For the love of all things pure and holy, crouch!
10. An enemy is not dead unless he drops his gun. If he lays there with a gun,
shoot him again.

Prologue: We've Been Through Worse
==================================

After the cutscene, head down the road. When you get to the end, a tank will
come out. Take cover and kill the germans until something blows up the tank.
Continue along the road a little and work your way up the pile of rubble.
Navigate through here and go up the stairs at the end. The wall in here will
explode. Walk to it and crouch. Kill a couple of the Germans and then turn left
and head down to the bridge. Kill the germans that get in your way and go to
the right of the bridge. Drop down into the hole. Navigate through here as well
and you'll come out to an area with a river in the middle. There will be german
soldiers on the other side, some with turrets kill some of them and continue
along. There will be an area that is blocked off by a short stone wall. After a
moment it will blow up and you can continue through. Keep along until you come
to a bridge. Shoot the germans and a tank will come. You cannot get to it
yet. A shell will hit the building next to you and make an opening for you to
go in. Follow your teammates. When you get to the top, hop on the turret at
the end and blow up the anti air gun. After that head through the door on the
wall that your teammates kicked open. Go down the stairs and work your way up
to the tank. Place the charge on it and head past before the charge blow up and
kills you. Head to the top of the bombed out building and kill the Geramans.
Then hop on the machine gun and kill the Germans that will charge out. After
a minute you will get shot and fall from the turret. You will see a teammate
run to you and say "hold on, you'll be alright," then your vision fades. You
don't die though, don't worry.

MISSION COMPLETE

==========================
Mission 1: Baptism by Fire
==========================

Use the turret to kill all the troops that shoot at you. Get out of the turret
when you reach the inside of the fenced area. When Brooklyn knocks open the
door, charge in and clear the area. Head out the door and go in the next area.
Brooklyn will kick this open to. Go in and kill the soldiers. Then turn left
and go through that door. Keep along the hall and go in the freshly kicked door
and clear it. Get a nice headshot on the turret guy. =) Clear the rest. Be wary
of a guy hiding in the hallway. Go through. In the next door, take cover at the
table where Brooklyn is. (Brooklyn is Bloomfield) He will run and open a locked
locked door. He says it is like breaking in to his father's liqour cabinet. 0_0
There is some health and a Chatterault, the other SMG, and the French rifle in
here if you want them. After that, head out the door and follow your squad to
the next door that needs to be kicked. Go in and shoot the guys. You can go up
the stairs, or you can go around them. It doesn't really matter, but the bottom
has more action. If you take the bottom:

Kill the soldiers down here. Then go to the alcove of a room straight ahead and
go through the door. Kill the men in here and go through the door. Do the same
in the next hangar. If you took the stairs:

Follow Brooklyn along the catwalks. Go through the area at the end and the end
and do the same to get down to the hangar. Head into the next hangar. You will
hear a plane crash overhead. Fight your way through and to the top of the
stairs at the other end of the hangar. Go into the really smokey area. This
reminds me of my great aunt's lungs... Go through the other end. The guy who
opens the door will get the living crap blown out of him. Go through and fight
the Frenchies. Some armor will come in and help finsh off the french. Then they
will leave through a newly opened door. Don't follow either one. Wait for both
to cross and use their blown up bodies as cover. Go to the area with all the
boxes and clear it, the use the door at the end. Clear this room and head out
the back. Go up the natural staircase. In the door. Brooklyn will open another
door. Toss a grenade in and kill the guys having a meeting. Then head up the
stairs and clear the area. Pick up a sniper and head out to the balcony. Kill
these guys and snipe the people manning the big guns. Then head down following
your squad. Get in one of the big guns yourself. Take out a bunch of the planes
and you will beat the level.

MISSION COMPLETE

==================
Mission 2: Tankers
==================
Follow the road until you get to a town. Blow up the halftrack and get behind
it and use iot for cover. Take out the enemy tank to the left and ahead. After
they are dead, continue along the road. Keep along the raod until you get to a
hill. Get ready to shoot smoe infantry on a hill to the right. Continue down
the road and kill the infantry amongst the buildings to the right. There is
a tanks at the end of the village; be ready. Continue and kill the four French
soldiers that come down from the left. Then blow the barbed wire up and go
through. This is the hardest part of the level. There will be two canon things
and two tanks, all hidden and waiting for you to roll by. The first canon is
on the and the rest are on the right. After they are dead, keep along the road.
Be ready for two more tanks. In the next part you will need to kill some more
foot soldiers. Use your machine gun (R2) on them. Then go along the road. Stay
behind your teammates, as two more tanks will come out and you will need cover.
These are harder to kill than the previous. Four shots will take them out. Keep
going along the road. Follow your teammates in the next area. Kill all the tank
and turrets and you will beat the level.

MISSION COMPLETE

=========================
Mission 3: The Desert Fox
=========================

Hop in the halftrack not far from you. Kill the tanks with the turret. Head
over to Denley and kill some of the approaching Germans. After a moment Denley
will run to the left. Follow and get on a turret. Kill the Germans that are
coming. After a minute all the tanks will blow up and you will need to meet
your squad at the tanks. Follow Hawkins after the meeting. You will meet up
with the engineers. Follow Denley and them up to the area with all the bombed
out crap. Find cover here and kill the Germans. Slowly advance, killing the
Germans as you go along. When you reach the end, go through the little tunnel.
Use your rifle to snipe the guy in the turret before continuing. Keep along the
path until you get to an area with three enemy tanks. Go down and you will
find a bazooka to use against them. Stand up and shoot the bazooka at the tanks
and then get down again. A car with a machinegun will come. One rocket will do
the trick. Go through where the car just was. A sniper will come up and
get promptly shot. Pick up his sniper and take out the enemy snipers. There is
one where the sniper was shooting at, and two to the left of the sniper.
After they are dead, hop into the .50 caliber and kill the horde of Germans
that come while you are waiting for the tanks to arrive. After they get here,
Sgt. Hawkins will tell you to head up to the village. Do so. Follow your
teammates and head up the little staircase at the end. Drop down and one of
your squadmates will blow up the wall keeping you from proceeding. Head through
after it explodes. Take cover and clear out the Germans before proceeding to
the right and around the buildings. Head uo the stairs. Turn right and go
straight along this path. Head through the little canyon. Kill the Germans
by the tent and proceed. Take out the Germans by the mortar and to secure
it and keep going down. Kill these Germans to secure the artillery. Follow
your teammates to the left. Kill the germans to secure the artillery. Walk
down to where the car with the gun is. Place a charge on it. When it explodes,
go around it and the level is over.

MISSION COMPLETE

========================
Mission 4: Counterattack
========================

Follow Kelly and Brooklyn. Head upstairs when you get to the building. After a
while the guy manning the turret will die. Hop on and kill the Germans that
are attacking. After the vehicle explodes, head back to the door you came in
the building and exit. Turn right. Head through that door. Fight off the German
soldiers and then clear the house in front of the way you came in. After that,
proceed to the next house. Clear it. Hawkins will charge out and promptly get
himself shot. Run back to the way you came in. The medic there will follow you.
After about halfway, the MEDIC will get shot. What a lucky day... grab his pack
and go to Hawkins. Kill the sniper on the building left of the turret by
Hawkins. After that, press X to apply field dreesings on Hawkins. He will get
up and continue fighting. After a moment, the building the sniper was on will
suddenly explode. You will be ordered to retreat to the most recently captured
house. Do so. Head back through the entrance you came in from. Navigate through
and grab some more ammo and health at your camp. After that, follow your team
members through the door to the right of the camp. Get some cover and kill the
Germans that will come in a minute. After they are gone head through the left
door. Kill the Germans up on the balcony and then worry about the ones on the
ground. After they are dead, head around the raised area in the middle. Take
cover behind the godly barrel. Toss a grenade in the middle of all the boxes
that are in the center of this area. Then fight off the Germans that will
come from up the hill to your right. After they are dead head up the hill.
There will be plenty of cover here. Use it and take out the opposing Germans.
Head through the little valley and kill the Germans. Then plant the charges on
the artillery pieces. Head down the hill. Now we have 'em cornered. =) They
will die quickly at the hands of your men and Hawkins' men. There will most
likely still be some of the Germans left on that DANGED building in front of
where Hawkins got "lit up." Kill them. Crap. A tank. What a lucky, lucky day...
RUN. Follow your squadmates and completely ignore the Germans. Work your
way through the obstacles and kill the Germans ONLY if you are about to die,
but do it while you're running. You will get through some barbed wire toward
the first house you were in, and there will be a vehichle waiting nearby. Hop
in and we're gettin' the heck outta here.

MISSION COMPLETE

=====================
Mission 5: Liberators
=====================

Get out of the turret. Head back through the plane and get in the ball turret.
kill the planes that you are slowly catching up on. After a while you'll get
the crap blown out of you. You will then exit the ball turret. Head under the
little...thing and get in the bombsight. Blow up the three ships and you will
exit the bombsight. After you get out, get in the chin turret and kill the
fighters. Exit when told and get in the tail turret. After a little while,
you will be allowed to use any turret. Use the one your in for a while, then
use the chin for the remainder of the mission.

==========================
Mission 6: Operation Husky
==========================

Use the turret to blow up the mines floating around so they don't blow YOU up.
Before you get to the beach, shoot the bunker with the turret and it will blow
up. Now, charge foward. Turn right, and kill all the Italians that you come
across. Eventually you will get a cutscene of the guy with a bazooka running
out and getting fragged. Grab the bazooka and shoot the barbed wire, then go
through. Kill the Italians and go into the bunker. Navigate through and exit.
When you get out, Brooklyn will toss a grenade through the window. Go in after
that and go out the other door. Go along these trenches and in the first bunker
and use its machinegun to shoot the red barrels and they will blow up and kill
the Italian soldiers in that area...(takes deep breath) Now leave and go into
the next bunker. Kill the guys in her and then leave. Go through this area and
into the next bunker. Now through THIS bunker. Into the bigger bunker. Navigate
through and plant a charge on the wall. Go through the new hole and run out to
cover. Wait for the smoke to come. Then charge through it and enter the tunnels
while killing all Italians in your way. Go up the stairs once in there and
get some cover amongst the boxes. Now go through the little path in between the
buildings to the left. Now take more cover and fight the Italians. This will
probably be the first time grenades are thrown at you, but it won't be the last
time either. Kill the Italians and continue up the road behind the area they
were. Parker will get fragged while trying to frag the barbed wire... the
fragger becomes the fragged... Go through the open path and continue along the
road. Go in the house with the open door. Go through it and navigate through
the following areas. You will meet up with Lt. Delaney. Now follow your squad.
Go down into the cellar. You will start getting hit with artillery. Run through
the cellar. Up the stairs at the end. Now find cover out here. Fight the
Italians until you are told to meet with the guy. Follow your squad to an area
with a guy you are supposed to meet. He will say that the Italians are going
to launch a counterattack soon. And right on que, they attack. Fight 'em off
until a tank come. Sneak up to it and plant a charge. It will blow up and the
Italians will retreat.

MISSION COMPLETE

=====================
Mission 7: Piano Lupo
=====================

Hop on the turret and kill the planes while protecting the things you need to
protect. After that you will get out of the turret. Follow Denley to meet with
Sgt. Hawkins. After that, follow thema and use the stone wall as cover while
you kill the Italians. Use the same strategy until you get the binoculars. Mark
the two trucks and tanks. Now go down the hill and keep along this path. Go
down into the ruins when you get to them; keep going down until you get to
a courtyard with some trees in the middle. Charge up the rubbel/staircase and
kill the people on top. Now go down the stairs. Go along the road until you get
to a medic and a dead guy. Grab the dead guys sniper and the medic will come
with your squad. Snipe the guys in the turret and the medic will get to the
wounded guys. Now go through the fence and along this path. You will meet with
a captain (?). Now go through the "door" to the right of the captains tent.
Keep along this path and you will get to an area with a turret. Get on the
turret and start blowin' the crap out of the Italians that are attacking.
After a while you will get off the turret and continue to the right. After you
come out of the tunnels, you will need to go through a bunker that is opened
by Brooklyn. Go upstairs and Hawkins will tell you to take out the tanks. Go
back and out onto the area with the three bunkers. Use the bazookas inside to
take out the tanks. After they are all gone, go back upstairs and use the
binocularsto mark the targets. They will get shot and you get promoted to
Corporal. YAY!

MISSION COMPLETE

==============================
Mission 8: Farewell to Friends
==============================

Head into town following the road. Some Italians will come out. Fight them off.
Use your M1 to snipe the guy in the turret on the building straight ahead. Turn
right at the end of the road. You will come across a turret that will blow the
crap out of you. Stay back. Hawkins will tell you to follow Kelly and flank the
turret. When Kelly leaves, follow him. You will come to a plaza type place.
Throw a grenade into the center and finish off the remaining troops. Go into
the house on the left. Turn right in the house and go up the stairs. Kill the
guy on the turret and the guys across on the balcony. Go back down the stairs.
Kelly will kick open a door. Go out of it and follow the road. You will get a
cutscene. Denley will open a door and get the living crap blown out of him.
='( After the cutscene, go in the door. Go through the house. Kill the Italians
out here and go through the door at the end. This is gonna be good. Run out and
go through the building in front of you. Now follow Hawkins. Go upstairs. You
will probably want to use either your rifle or the MG32 on the ground. (L1 to
set up) Shoot at the Italians for while and then head downstairs and through
the building door. Kill the Italians down here. Follow your squad through the
archway/. Take cover here and fight the Italians. Fight your way along this
path. You'll get to an area with tank that will explode. Go through here and
kill the Italians. Before you get past the little porch thing, take out all
the visible enemies. More will come from the left when you get past this area.
That would leave you cornered and as good as dead. Take cover amongst the boxes
here and kill the approaching Germans. Fight your way through. Keep fighting
and follow your squad. You will eventually come to the cathedral. Fight off
the enemies and plant a charge on the Flak 88. Head back to regroup with your
squad. They will have a nice "service" for... sniff... Vic... WAH!!!!

============================
Mission 9: The Great Crusade
============================

Oh god, D-Day. Well, I'm sure you know how intense this will be. Mark the
various targets along the beach. You're boat will get fragged. Eventually you
wake up on the beach. Fight your way along it and use the many objects as cover
from enemy fire. Cover the engineers as they plant the charges on the barracade
that are blocking your path. Keep going along here until you get to the
trenches. Go in them and use your Thompson for better trench clearing. Come out
when you reach the end. Fight your way to the right and go up the stairs. Head
into the building. Shoot the radio to disable it. Use the turret up here to
cover the engineers as they plant the charges on the door. Go in the door when
it is blown open. Follow along this path. In the first building, there is an
alcove to the right inside is the first artillery piece. Place the charge. Go
back and conitnue along the path. When you get outside again, turn right first
thing. Go up the stairs. Head into the left area in the building. Go down the
stairs and place the charge on the Flak. Head out the other way and cross the
wooden bridge. Don't go down the stairs, rather keep straight. Go in this area
and kill the Germans. Go to the area by Sergeant Mack and go in. Go out the
end and turn right. Keep that way and plant the charge on the Flak. Now head
out down to the ground and go to the end of the path.Go through the door. Go
down and go up the right side of the ladder. Go to the other side of the door
and press the thing that looks like a heater. The gate will open. Your squad
will come through and the door will blow up. Go out and find cover. Eventually
Brooklyn will toss a grenade up there and blow up the Flak. Go through the door
at the end of this path. Shoot the Germans and go through the door. Go down the
stairs in the next area and shoot the guy in the tower. Go through the trenches
and through the bunker. Up the stairs and to the Flak. Get in after it is
repaired and take out the bunkers and any troops that pose a threat (people
with bazookas, people on machingun turrets). After that...

MISSION COMPLETE

==========================
Mission 10: An Easy Detail
==========================

This is one of the most intense battles in the game in my opinion. Take out the
ambushing Germans from your .50 cal. You will crash eventually. Get out and
follow your squad to cover. The Germans will attack from behind. Fight back
until they are gone. Keep going. Slide down the hill and take out the guy with
the machine gun. Then go to the hill and fight there. After that meet your
squad and keep going. Run through the woods and follow McLaughlin. After you're
through, head to the mill. Be ready for three Germans waiting to kill you on
the corner. After them, Brooklyn will kick open a door. Go in and kill the
Germans. Go through the door on the right and hop on the turret before a
teammate does. If you don't make it in time, head up the stairs and grab the
scoped rifle. Blow up the armor and troop transportation as they come. A tank
will come. After a while someone will blow it up, just avoid it. After that,
meet outside the mill. Follow your sqaud up the road. Kill all the Germans at
the road block. Run through the orchard and use the trench the plane so kindly
made for us and a rifle to take out the Germans. Continue with your squad and
turn right when you get to the intersection. Plant a charge on the Flak. After
it explodes, go straight and into the burning fields. Sound like something from
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy... Anyway, turn around the truck and take out the German
manning the gun then the rest. Coninue along this path. Plant the charge on the
Flak. Then your squad will kick open a gate; you guessed it, go through. You
will come across a barn and a Flak. You know what to do. Then go in the barn
and clear it. Your team will open the doors to the big battle. Charge out and
find cover immediately. Walk around the edge until you get to a Flak. Plant the
charge. Now, fight up the hill. Hawkins will get shot for like the 5th time.
After that, go in the gate and fight your way up the hill. After you clear it,
come back down to see Hawkins being taken to the hospital.

MISSION COMPLETE

=========================
Mission 11: Crucifix Hill
=========================

So Kelly is the Sergeant now... Does that mean Hawkins died? Okay, head along
the road. Your in for one heck of a battle. Follow Kelly along the road. You'll
come to a cemetary. This is INTENSE. Fight through it using the gravestones as
cover. When you reach the end, snipe the turret. Now RUN as fast as you can
while the turret is inactive. Now kill the people here and run up the stairs.
Go along the trench and turn right when you reach the end. Keep along this way
and go in the building at the end. Go through and go to the Antiair gun. Plant
a charge and go back and through the door we haven't been in yet. Turn into the
trenches. Now go straight and plant the charge on the antiair gun. Turn around
and take the first left turn. Head through and take another left turn. You
will come across a bunker. Go up the ladder and plant the charge on the last
gun. Now go turn right away from the bunker then go straight. Go through this
building. Fight the Germans. When you get outside, go straight to the bunker.
Kill all the Germans around and enter the bunker. Fight your way upstairs and
leave the bunker. Now you have to destroy three nebelwefers. Keep to the right
and turn in the appropriate direction when you need to (judging by the star on
the compass) Your teammates also know where to go. If you turn around and they
stay where they are, you were on the right track. You will get to the command
bunker eventually. Go in and clear it out. After you are done, a door will open
and you need to go through. Do so, and keep through the halls. Turn right
at the very last room. Go outside and straight to find the nebelwefer. Plant
the charge and go to the right for the second nebelwefer. Plant the charge,
leave and go straight to get the last one. Now meet up with your squad.

MISSION COMPLETE

==========================
Mission 12: The Last Train
==========================

Charge in to town and take out the guy in the turret. Then clear the houses.
Keep doing this. Follow the tank. Eventually the tank will get fragged. Go into
the building to the left of it. Fight off the advancing Germans. Now a mortar
team will start shhoting at you. They are in the center of the courtyard. Run
out of the latest opened door and use the wooden thing as cover. Keep running
from cover to cover and keep out of mortar fire. When you are close enough,
pull out a machine gun and take out the mortar team in the house. Now take out
the Flak. After it has been blown to oblivion, follow the tank through town.
It will sto pevery now and then so you can cleanse the area of enemies. You
will get to a part where there are two panzerschrek soldiers. Kill them so the
tank can move on. Then, Germans will SWARM. Kill them then clear out the barn.
Meet your squad.

Now we're in a tank. Press R2 to shoot the machinegun and R1 for rockets. Okay,
follow the road. Keep an eye out for artillery, bazookas, and other tanks.
Just keep following the road. Eventually you will come across a train. Shoot it
and it will blow up. Cross through the new gap and end the mission.

MISSION COMPLETE

==============================
Mission 13: The Dragon's Teeth
==============================

Go along the path. Take cover when you get to the first bunker. Fight your way
to it and enter from the back. Kill the Germans in here. Now head to the next
bunker. Kill everyone in it and grab a sniper. Now go back out. Brooklyn will
get utterly d-d...destroyed...by .. a (sniff) ..mortar... WHAAAA!!!! Okay, now
go through the new opening in the barbed wire. Find cover by the car, and snipe
the people in the towers. Now proceed through the Dragons Teeth, using them
as cover. Once you're out, go through the little bunker stairs. Once inside,
navigate through the halls, killing all the Germans as you go. When you get to
the end, the wall will blow up. Hop through. Proceed along the trenchline
annihalating the Germans as you go. When you get to the end by the river,
go down the slope. Then go down a little ramp leading to the bridge's
underside. Fight through here. Now kill the guys on the turret and head for the
rockets. Plant the charges on them and go back to your squad. And BOOM!

GAME COMPLETE!!!

Congrats, you beat it. Good job, soldier!

A. Go to the spot where the TV reporter gets mauled by the grizzly. Then look
in the direction of the steep walled canyon. Go to your left when facing the

whenever the chance if you're completely new to the series : )

Q. How do you site your firearm?
A. To site your firearm, fire into the target using the sighting booth.
then, where ever the bullet hole is, use the directional pad to estimate
how much you need to make the firearm fire into the center. (ex. up-sight to
the up direction, left-sight to the left)
when you have done so, leave the sighting booth.

=============================================================
I. INTRODUCTION

Backyard Wrestling is the underground phenomenon that's sweeping the nation.
The wrestlers in this circuit do the most outlandish, insane, completely
twisted, and extremely hardcore matches using all sorts of weapons like light
bulbs, wooden boards, gas, bricks and anything else that is or isn't nailed
down. Backyard Wrestling includes current TNA Superstar Sabu and the Insane
Clown Posse, voted the worst band in the world. You can also create your own
wrestler, but the choices are limited unlike those in WWE games (Sorry, Vince
McMahon). However, you can list your own moves and style unique to your
wrestler. For more information about Backyard Wrestling's superstars and

V. THE VENUES

There are 7 venues in Backyard Wrestling.

THE BACKYARD (OBVIOUSLY): The Backyard is the main place for backyard
wrestling. The fat guy Wendell is at his barbecue grill, someone is welding a
car, there's a train track over the fence and the entire backyard is littered
with wooden boards, bricks, tires, sledge hammers, trash cans, a mattress, a
gasoline can and light bulbs. There are tables to smash there, too. You can
perform diving moves from the roof of Wendell's house as well as from the
treehouse platform. Throwing someone into Wendell will cause him to
accidentally burn his face on the grill.

THE TRUCK STOP: Al's Truck Stop has lots of hay bales, a pet elephant, and lots
of weapons lying around. Lots of buses and truck cabs are everywhere and can be
used to perform diving moves. One of the buses is the ICP Tour Bus. There are
also motorcycles near the truck stop building. Once the motorcycles are knocked
over, a mean biker steps out of the building holding a 2 x 4 with a nail
attached to it ready to smash anyone who wrecked his ride.

THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE: The slaughterhouse has lots of chopped meat scattered
everywhere. Most of its bones can be used as weapons. There are conveyor belts
to leap off of as well as a giant grinder well covered with bars to prevent any
unwanted entry, until the wrestlers slam them into the bars exposing the giant
fan. There's also a giant window in the foreman's office.

THE GENTLEMEN'S CLUB: The Peppermint Rooster is an all-night strip club that
has a relaxed feel to it. There's a bar, poles for the strippers to dance
around, lounge chairs used as weapons, a high rise balcony to leap off of and a
giant tropical fish tank built into the wall. Too many slams into the wall tank
will cause it to crack open and spill all the fish and sand all over the club.
There's also a bartender who hates party crashers and strippers knocking down
anyone getting too close by swinging around the poles.

THE MALL: The Downtown Shopping Mall is exciting to visit, but the parking lot
is where all the action is. You have a drunken mall Santa with a shopping cart
full of "goodies" as well as parked cars, dumpsters, mannequins and lots of
other good weapons.

THE MANSION: Dr. Mike Fleming's mansion is placed high above the hustle and
bustle of the city, but even the high life can enjoy a wild time. The mansion's
backyard has a Jacuzzi, a Tiki Bar, a picnic table and a concert platform.

THE TELEVISION STUDIO: The set of "Today's Topic" is the final battle in Story
Mode where you take on Mad Man Pondo one on one in a duel to the death. The
weapons on display during "Today's Topic" are actually used in the battle. Once
you've beaten Mad Man Pondo, relax and watch the credits roll. Even if you lose
to Mad Man Pondo, you can still watch the credits, just don't get P.O.'ed that
you lost.
