Mission Objectives
Welcome, soldier! This section provides a detailed, actionable walkthrough for every primary objective in Call of Duty 2. Success on the battlefield hinges on understanding your mission and executing it flawlessly. Pay close attention to enemy positions, optimal weapon usage, and tactical movements to ensure victory.
General Combat Strategies
- Cover is King: Always seek cover. Walls, crates, destroyed vehicles – anything that can absorb enemy fire is your best friend. Peeking out to fire and then retreating to cover is a fundamental survival tactic.
- Listen to Your Squad: Your AI teammates often provide crucial intel, like enemy locations or incoming grenades. Pay attention to their callouts.
- Conserve Ammunition: While ammo is generally plentiful, avoid wasteful spraying. Aim for headshots or center mass to maximize your effectiveness. Pick up weapons from fallen enemies to replenish your supply.
- Grenade Usage: Frag grenades are excellent for clearing entrenched enemies or flushing them out of cover. Smoke grenades can provide vital concealment for advancing across open ground.
- Weapon Familiarity: Understand the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon. The Mosin-Nagant is powerful at long range, while the PPSh-41 excels in close-quarters combat.
Mission Walkthroughs
Russian Campaign: Winter Warfare
The Russian front is a brutal test of endurance. Expect fierce resistance and harsh environmental conditions.
Mission 1: Training Day
Your introduction to the harsh realities of war. Focus on mastering basic movement and weapon handling.
- Objective: Complete Basic Training.
- Movement & Stance: Follow the drill sergeant's commands to practice standing, crouching, and proning.
- Weapon Familiarization (Mosin-Nagant): Pick up the Mosin-Nagant rifle from the designated rack. Practice aiming down sights and firing at the target dummies.
- Reloading & Grenades: Learn to reload your weapon and throw a practice grenade at the marked area.
- Obstacle Course: Navigate the obstacle course, using cover and jumping over barriers.
Mission 2: Not One Step Back!
Defend the trenches against a relentless German assault. This mission emphasizes defensive positioning and strategic grenade use.
- Objective: Hold the Line.
- Initial Defense: Immediately take cover in the trench upon mission start. Equip your Mosin-Nagant. German infantry will advance from the open field ahead. Prioritize enemies carrying machine guns.
- Flank Prevention: Be aware of enemies attempting to flank your position from the left side of the trench. Use your PPSh-41 for close-range engagements if they breach.
- Grenade Counter: When German grenades land near your position, quickly move to avoid the blast or throw them back if prompted.
- Machine Gun Nest: A German MG42 will be set up in a ruined building across the field. Use a well-aimed frag grenade to neutralize the gunner, or suppress them with sustained rifle fire.
- Objective: Push Back the Enemy.
- Advance to the Farmhouse: Once the initial wave is repelled, your squad will advance. Follow them, using the craters and debris for cover.
- Clear the Farmhouse: The farmhouse will be heavily defended. Toss a grenade into the main entrance before entering. Clear room by room, checking corners. Look for an MP40 or Kar98k to replace your PPSh-41 if you prefer.
- Secure the Courtyard: After clearing the farmhouse, move into the courtyard. More German soldiers will emerge from the barn. Use the stone walls for cover and eliminate them.
British Campaign: North Africa
The desert sands hide many dangers. Expect tank engagements and long-range firefights.
Mission 1: The End of the Beginning
Participate in the Battle of El Alamein, pushing through enemy lines.
- Objective: Clear the German Trenches.
- Initial Assault: Advance with your squad. Use the sand dunes and rocky outcrops for cover. The Lee-Enfield is your primary weapon here, effective at medium to long range.
- Machine Gun Positions: Two MG42 nests will be positioned overlooking the trenches. Use smoke grenades to obscure their vision while you advance, or pick off the gunners with precise shots.
- Grenade Clearing: Toss frag grenades into the trench sections before entering to clear out entrenched infantry.
- Objective: Destroy the Flak 88.
- Locate the Anti-Air Gun: The Flak 88 is located past the trenches, near a small encampment. Expect heavy resistance around it.
- Approach Strategy: Flank the position if possible, using the rocky terrain for cover. Alternatively, use smoke grenades to mask your direct approach.
- Plant Explosives: Once you reach the Flak 88, interact with it to plant the explosives. You'll have a short timer before detonation. Retreat to a safe distance immediately after planting.
