Objective 3 : Enter the city of Stalingrad.

Your guide to the Stalingrad mission in Call of Duty. Learn how to survive the Volga crossing and fight your way through the docks with Alexei Voronin.

Alright, let's get you into the city of Stalingrad. This is mission 15 in the campaign, and it's the first one where you're playing as the Soviets. You're Corporal Alexei Voronin, and things are going to get rough right from the start. You'll be crossing the Volga River under heavy fire, so stick close to your squad and try to stay alive. The commissars are watching, and they don't take kindly to anyone retreating. You'll be given either a rifle or just a clip of ammo at first, so make every shot count. Keep an eye out for Sergeant Borodin; he's a sniper and can help you take out those pesky MG42 gunners. Your main goal is to secure the Stalingrad docks. Watch out for Stuka dive bombers and artillery – they'll tear through your boats. If you see soldiers trying to jump ship, know that the commissars will shoot them. Once you hit the docks, you'll be facing heavy German fire. Use cover whenever you can. Borodin will need you to act as bait a few times so he can get clear shots on the enemy gunners. When you get inside a house, Borodin will even take out a commissar who's about to shoot you for falling back. Eventually, you'll get artillery support from across the river, which will help you push forward to Red Square. Good luck out there!
