House-to-House Combat
The defining characteristic of "Stalingrad (Part 2)" is the intense house-to-house combat. When entering buildings, always proceed with caution. Use your flashlight sparingly to avoid giving away your position, but be prepared to use it to spot enemies in dark interiors. Throw a grenade into a room before entering if possible. Your squadmates can be ordered to breach doors or provide covering fire. Listen for enemy footsteps and gunfire to anticipate their movements. Enemies can be hiding in closets, behind furniture, or even in basements. Clear each room methodically and be ready for close-range engagements.
