Mission 03
- Follow your team through the swamp as Roebuck consoles the younger soldiers.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Take cover behind the stones on the left side of the pathway while your team examines the downed airplane ahead. It's the makings of an ambush, so why not be prepared?
- When the plane explodes, shoot the three soldiers that appear in front of it, then go after any remaining enemies. Watch out for any who rush towards you.
- Another ambush is ahead by the big tree running through your path. Start by shooting the well-camouflaged soldier to the left and move to his position for cover. Take down the remaining soldiers and move forward to meet some more allies.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Your next objective is to assault Japanese bunkers ahead. Press B to crouch, then stay all the way to the left on the path ahead, so you are positioned to the left of a nearby artillery cannon. This is a perfectly serviceable location to flank the opposing force.
- Stay crouched as you eliminate all the enemies. You should be safe from heavy gunfire, but watch for grenades.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Run into the first bunker and shoot the first enemy you see. When you reach a wall and you see a Japanese flag in the hallway to the left, turn the corner around the wall in front of you and shoot the enemy waiting behind it, then quickly spin to the left and kill the other enemy waiting in the next passageway
- Proceed through the bunker, shooting the last enemy inside, and join your fellow soldiers outside.
- Defeat any enemies that your allies haven't killed outside, then move through the burning structure ahead for your next objective.
- Checkpoint Reached
- On your way through the burning structure, look to your right and kill any enemies that are causing trouble for your fellow soldiers. Keep moving until you reach a vantage point on the bunker ahead.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Approach the cover where your team is waiting. Your next objective will be to recover a flamethrower from a fallen comrade. Stay low and navigate to the star icon as seen on your map. The flamethrower is glowing in gold to make it easier to see. Swap it with one of your weapons by holding X.
- Flame the bunker by aiming into the two windows and holding RT. When the controller rumbles, the objective is complete.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Keep the flamethrower -- you'll want it for an achievement later -- move through the bunker, taking out the two enemies hiding inside. Exit the bunker and start moving towards the airfield ahead.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Follow the path with your buddies. Get ready for an ambush once you see a plane going down in front of you.
- The enemies are clever at hiding, but not much of a threat otherwise. Start by shooting the handful hiding in the grass as they emerge
- Achievement: Pull out your flamethrower and torch the tree in front of you, where another soldier is positioned, to get "No Safe Place."
- Keep an eye out for charging enemies as the final batch rises from the grass. Move along the path.
- Checkpoint Reached
- You'll reach a trench ahead where your fellow soldiers are pinned down across from a building. On Roebuck's word, follow him through the trench to a nearby supply truck, where you can pick up a rifle fitted with rockets.
- Use the rockets to destroy the two machine guns perched on building's top floor. Approach the building from the left side and clear out as many other enemies as you can before moving in.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Death Card: Once inside the building, head through the doorway to the left, then turn right. Walk back and you'll see lantern casting light on a soldier's helmet. The "King of Hearts" is attached.
- Go back to the doorway and turn right. You'll see the stairs, walk up, turn back and move to the opening in the building, where you get a great view of the airfield.
- Follow Roebuck and your crew to the U.S. tanks.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Shortly along the path, you'll be directed to the left, where you can hop into a mortar pit and grab a bazooka. Hold X to pick it up, and use it to destroy three Type97 tanks.
- The first tank will roll right in front of your pit. Take it down with two shots from the bazooka, then head back into the mortar pit to grab some more ammo.
- Use your radar to locate the last two tanks, identifiable as golden circles with stars inside. You may have to run back to the mortar pit again if you run out of bazooka shells while fighting the tanks. This objective isn't too dangerous, just keep moving and watch for grenades.
- Strategy: Load up on bazooka ammo just before finishing off the last tank. This weapon will come in handy later.
- Checkpoint Reached
- An anti-aircraft bunker is giving the U.S. a hard time. Before raiding it, you need to clear the surrounding area. As you approach the Japanese base, you'll see a mortar pit teeming with enemies. Toss in a grenade to draw them out, then shoot as many as you can.
- Storm the mortar pit and clear any remaining enemies. Your teammates should follow suit.
- When you get to the wall of the AA bunker, turn right. Shoot the enemies guarding the entrance to the bunker and head up the stairs.
- Checkpoint Reached
- The objective to destroy the AA operators is fairly straightforward. You'll face enemies head-on. Take cover and shoot as many as you can, letting your allies do the rest. Don't forget to toss grenades at larger groups.
- Strategy: With so much commotion, it can be difficult to tell who is who. Look for the enemies with yellow helmets -- they are clearly not on your side.
- The AA guns are large turrets that point straight into the sky. Each of the four at this base has two men operating it. Kill them all and clear out the remaining troops to cue the victory music.
- Checkpoint Reached
- But don't celebrate just yet. You'll need to defend the tower from one last counterattack by the Japanese. Find the mounted cannon on the bunker's back wall and hold X to operate it.
- Resist the temptation to hold down the trigger the entire time while fighting the enemy. This will cause the machine gun to overheat, probably at the worst possible time.
- The wall-mounted gun has limited range. If any enemies are out of reach, get off the wall and use your conventional weapons and grenades to fend them off. If you saved any bazooka rounds from the tank battle, now is a good time to use them. Once you've held the base, it will be time to check in on your Russian allied soldier.

Mission 04
- Be patient while the Nazis scour the area for survivors of their massacre. Once you gain movement, crawl forward and meet with Sgt. Reznov.
- Follow Reznov to the hole in the wall, where he'll offer you a sniper rifle. Hold X to grab it. You'll get ammo for the rifle once he finishes his speech.
- Hint: When sniping, hold LS to steady your aim. You can't do this forever, so only get steady when you're about to fire.
- Achievement: You'll need to take out all the enemies in the street with just five bullets and no reloads to get "The Professional." Start by using one bullet to shoot the two soldiers in the back of clearing, directly in front of you. Then, look to your right at two soldiers sitting together. You can get them with one shot where one soldier's shoulder overlaps the other's head. To your left, one soldier sits and the other stands. Wait until they overlap and fire. Use your last two bullets to shoot the soldier and dog who are now approaching.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Follow Reznov into the clearing and behind cover. Do not disturb the soldiers in front of you. Go with Reznov to the building to your right. Jump through the window by walking up to it, then pressing A.
- Death Card: After Reznov gives another speech inside the building, follow him behind the bar, but instead of going through the doorway, turn left around the bar corner. You'll find the rifle and helmet holding the "Five of Diamonds" death card leaning against the back wall.
- Follow Reznov through the building to the truck ahead. A sniper makes his presence known, so you'll have to hide inside another building.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Go upstairs with Reznov. The sniper is lurking on one of the top three floors in the building across the way. Reznov will draw some sniper fire to see what floor he's on, then it's up to you to finish the job.
- Keep track of the sniper as he moves and keep your gun trained where you think he'll shoot from next. You won't have much time to line up a shot, so fire quickly once you get him in your crosshairs. The sniper will also use his helmet as a decoy, which looks like a head that pops above one of the windowsills. Only shoot when you see a body.
- Achievement: To get "The Gunslinger" later in the level, you'll need to grab the P38 pistol now, from the desk in front of the building opening.
- Follow Reznov through the building and downstairs.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Jump over the table into the next room with Reznov and get low. The dogs will sniff you out either way, but you'll need to lay prone by holding B to avoid the flames that soon enter the building.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Crawl with Reznov through the building. When he stands up, you'll see a German soldier aiming from the far left window in front of you. Take him down before moving forward.
- When you turn the corner of the building, you'll see two more soldiers in each window of the next room. Shoot them both before heading upstairs with Reznov.
- Watch for grenades here, as you follow Reznov to the right and into the next room. A log will fall, pinning you to the ground, but worry not; Reznov will save you.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Follow Reznov through the building. When you get to the window, run right past him to escape the fiery structure. When Reznov falls, it appears the surrounding Germans will take him prisoner, but some newfound Russian teammates are on hand to defeat them. After a brief exchange, follow Reznov up the ladder ahead.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Move ahead into the building, to the windows on your left.
- Your next objective is to give cover fire for your comrades below, but if you don't address several key points of interest, you could also end up dead. Start with the flamethrower, seen walking around towards the middle of the courtyard. Shoot his tank as soon as you get a clear shot, and the explosion will take out several nearby enemies.
- Another flamethrower will soon appear. Destroy him the same way you blew up the other soldier.
- Next, look straight ahead to the building across the way. Shoot the soldier operating the machine gun in the window.
- A fresh set of German soldiers will flood the balcony to your left. Take them down now.
- Strategy: Strafe by by moving left and right with the left thumbstick. Doing this in and out of cover while reloading can save you when you're most vulnerable.
- A pair of soldiers can be seen shooting down on you from a building on your left side. Take them down before clearing any leftover enemies from the ground below. One the Germans retreat, follow Reznov upstairs and onto the roof.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Before you cross into the next building, turn around and grab the PTRS-41, which is a better sniper rifle than the one you have. As you move through the next building, swap the PTRS-41 for the MPG.
- Use your new machine gun to cut down any charging guards in the next shootout. Also, save some ammunition for the two dogs that attack you. Once they are defeated, return to the last room and swap the MPG back for the PTRS-41. Clear our the remaining enemies from the corridor where Reznov is waiting.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Your comrades below need help again. Look to your left on the rooftop and you'll see a stairway down to a convenient platform for sniping. The metal panel in the middle of the platform is perfect for cover.
- Start by shooting the two machine guns on either side of the ground, plus the tank gun operator towards the right, then work on the remaining foot soldiers. Be on the lookout for a flamethrower. Partway through the battle, some soldiers will appear on the shorter structure to the left. Take them down for your own safety.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Head back upstairs to meet with Reznov. You'll meet a short resistance from some soldiers in the building ahead. Just watch for grenades and stay out of the open. You can use your sniper rifle to take them down, but Reznov will help with his submachine gun. Once the enemies are dispatched, follow Reznov to the set of windows in the next room.
- Checkpoint Reached
- Your final objective is to kill General Amsel, who exits a building on the far left with a crew of bodyguards. Take out as many as you can, but keep an eye on the tank nearby. He will run from the right side of the tank to a truck toward the back center section of the ground. One shot with the sniper rifle should do the trick.
- Achievement: Use the pistol to kill Amsel instead of your sniper rifle to get "The Gunslinger." This is not easy, since you can't zoom in, so it may take quite a few tries (and some luck) to get this one.
- Taking down Amsel's sniper will make your job easier. He's first standing near the back right side of the tank, then he runs out into the field.
- If you haven't killed Amsel by the time his getaway car arrives at the back center section of the ground, shoot the driver. You'll have one last chance to shoot Amsel as he flees to the right.
- As Reznov is praising you, tank fire will knock you off your feet. Get up, staying clear of any grenades tossed into the building. Take out any soldiers in the stairwell that Reznov can't handle on his own, then go upstairs and through the door way.
- Jump with Reznov out the window to the right, into the water below, to end your mission.
