Master Omaha Beach in Battlefield 1942. Learn Axis and Allied strategies for capturing the beach, bunkers, and town, plus essential tips.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The map features three capture points: The Beach, The Bunkers, and the Town.
  2. 2
    The Beach: Allies must capture this point within the first two minutes to have a reasonable chance of winning. Failure to do so allows Axis players to camp the beach, making it nearly impossible for Allies to advance. Axis can defend by hiding at the flag or rushing it early to prevent Allied capture. Allies should use landing craft to quickly assault the beach.
  3. 3
    The Bunkers: This area consists of trenches and bunkers, difficult for Allies to assault but easy for Axis to defend. Capturing this point brings Allies closer to winning and stops ticket loss. It contains a medium tank. Axis can defend using defguns (anti-aircraft guns), hiding in bunkers, defending ramps, using grenades, or planting TNT on ramps. Allies can man machine guns, but are often sniped. To attack, Allies should jump while moving on ramps to make themselves harder targets and watch for grenades. Medics can be useful for healing. Allies can also jump over trenches and prone above them when attempting to take the bunker flag.
  4. 4
    The Town: This area becomes more engaging as the map progresses.
Tips
  • Allies: Do not move the destroyer; repair it if attacked. Sneaking past defenses to the right of the second hill, beyond the bunker and house, can lead to the town and the third capture point. Allies can use beached landing craft and the hill on the right for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Sniping is less effective with more than two snipers; call for artillery instead. Dynamite can be used to launch yourself up the second hill.
  • Axis: You can destroy the Allied destroyer but focus shells on infantry if it's not going down easily. Hide behind landing craft or cliffs when attacking the destroyer. Avoid being seen on the beach. Do not man machine guns, as snipers will target you. Being an engineer is smart for planting dynamite. Extra ammo and life are in the bunkers. Repair defguns. On large servers (64 players), an APC can be parked nearby for snipers to reload easily.
  • Both: Calling for artillery is recommended. Allies can call artillery on bunkers, while Axis can call it on the beach for defguns.
  • Defguns: Can be destroyed with bazookas by Allies and repaired by Axis.
