Mission One: Semper Fi

After the starting introduction, grab your pistol and join the raiders on their assault. Head west and move through the village. Continue around the catwalk of the buildings in front of you and you will come out to an area with some cover and a machine gunner in the window to the left. Take him out and continue around the corner to regroup with the second squad. Walk along the jungle path heading north until you come to a small temple style statue. Kill the enemies that appear and continue along to the water front. Take out the spotlight there and the surrounding enemies. Once they are all dead, you will need to proceed north to the extraction point.

Follow the water until you come to a grizzly scene and flares start going off. Kill the crowd of enemies here and continue forward up the path to find a few more behind barriers. Once past them, you’ll come to a truck. Cut a hole in the barrel and the truck will go for a ride while the fuel is lit on fire. After the fireworks, head down to the firefight and head into the bunker to the left. Once the door is open, head inside and plant the charges on the table and head back out. Make a bee line for the water directly across from you and a scene will play as you pass the right side of the building. Take pot shots at any enemies still alive and wait for the mission to end.

Mission Two: Little Resistance

After the opening scene, make your way forward to the beachhead. You will now have control of the rocket strike to help clear out large groups of enemies. Use it on the group directly ahead of you and continue to push forward to the machine gun nest. Wait for the flamethrower to clear it out and continue southeast. Make your way forward and to the left where there will then be a small path way and some more enemies. Continue along the path using the barrels there to cause some extra chaos. Once you come out the other side, some more enemies will pop up from the grass and attack.

Clear them out and continue to the next open area where there will be another machine gun nest and a building. Use the truck for cover and run into the small opening to the tunnel on the right. Follow the corridor around until you come up and outside where you will be next to the large bunker. Enter the opening on the right and climb the ladder to the second floor. Clear the machine gun nest and then look to the southwest to see two Japanese tanks roll in. call in rocket strikes to take out both tanks and then hop on the machine guns to clear out the rest of the enemies. Once they are all dead below, regroup with your men at the large door to the right of your position and watch the cut scene.

Mission Three: Hard Landing

After the opening scene, make your way forward to the downed plane. Once the ambush is triggered, clear out the enemies and continue forward through the jungle sticking close to the left path. You’ll meet up with some more friendly troops for an assault on the Japanese bunkers. Head up the small hill and start opening fire on everyone you can see. Push forward to the bunker directly ahead and enter it. Clear it out and continue through it to the other side. Once you reach the other side, continue forward through the damaged building until you come to the machine gun nest.

Help lay down a suppressive fire on it while your team meets up with you. Once they are in place, there will be a dead body lying in front of the next with a flamethrower. Grab it and use it to clear out the nest. Hold on to the flamethrower for now though, it will come in quite handy. Enter the bunker and continue through to the other side and make your way up the road to the airfield. There will be some hiding enemies here along the road so keep an eye open. Once you reach the hill at the end of the road, enter the next area that will have a large bunker to the right. Make your way to it and enter using the flamethrower to clear out the swarm of enemies within it. Head up the stairs at the far end and continue to the second floor.

Head out the door directly ahead of you and you will come to the airfield. Make your way across it until you reach the bunker with a bazooka in it. Grab the bazooka, but keep the flamethrower still, and use it to take out the three type 97 tanks that come rolling in. Once they are destroyed, continue over to the bunker and clear out the enemies in the trenches along the way. Head up the ramp to the right and you will come to the second story of the bunker. Continue along the pathway and clear out the teams that are manning the 4 AA guns. Once they have all been cleared out you will need to defend the base against a rush of enemies. Jump on the AA gun to the right and use it to obliterate the trucks and tanks that come rolling in. Once they have been destroyed, an airstrike will come in to clean up any stragglers and the mission will end.

Mission Four: Vendetta

Hello Mr. Petrenko. After the introduction scene, follow Reznov and listen to him blabber on for a little while. Take his rifle and wait for him to give you some ammo. Once he does, look to the left and pop the Germans there. Listen to his instructions to find the two straight ahead and then two to the right on the stairs (see if you can nail them both in one shot). After that one more will come around the burned out tank with a dog. Pop both and then follow Reznov down the alley and through the window. Continue through the next building and head up the stairs to duel a sniper. Look to the top set of large windows and use cover while waiting for the sniper to appear.

Pop him when you see him pop out and continue on Reznov’s tail. Once down the stairs, you will come to a hallway with Germans outside. No matter how well you hide, they will always see you and attack. Go prone and crawl down the hallway until you get attacked at the end. Pop the Germans in the windows if you think you are quick, if not, just run. Head up the stairs and continue to the open window and jump out. After the scene, climb up the ladder and wait at the window. Look for the flamethrower soldier and pop his tank on his back. Once the action begins, help the squad by sniping any enemies you can see and using the wall for cover.

When they are all down, continue up the stairs and into the next area. Grab the new sniper rifle there and the mp40 from the table. Kill the Germans and dogs that enter and then use the mounted gun to take out the enemies below and in the building across from you to save your ammo. Continue following Reznov once they are all toast and down the next set of stairs will be some more Germans waiting. Kill them and you will come to an open window and will be told to hold your fire until Amsel comes out. Look to the left, to the building with the banners and Amsel and his guards will come out. Snipe him when you see him and then run through the building like a bat out of hell. Head up the stairs and jump out the opening to land in the river below.

Mission Five: Their Land; Their Blood

Wakey wakey! After the intro, kill the guards on the ground and continue through the door. Follow the gang of Russians and kill the Germans as they appear. Continue following the path and you will come to a decision, left or right. Head left because left is good and simply clear out all the Germans you come across until you reach the tunnel under the bridge. Continue to the farm house and grab the Panzerschrek in front of it. Use it to blow up the four tanks in the area while making sure not to get blown to bits yourself.

Once they are down, head to the farm house to the north and wait to the side of the large door. A tank will come rolling out and a few soldiers. Take out the soldiers and run into the barn to use for cover while to take aim at the tank. Enter the barn and head out the back door and hop on the tank to go for a ride. Once you reach the battle, hop off and grab the Panzerschrek to take down the towers and kill the remaining Germans in the area. It’s not an easy fight so take your time and push ahead slowly. Use the path to the right to keep above the enemies to the left and you will eventually come to friendly tanks that start to really kick the Germans asses. Once you reach the end, celebrate and end the mission.

Mission Six: Burn’Em Out

Yee haw Flamethrower! Let’s roast some baddies. Head through the trench and you need to find the three mortar positions. The first is directly ahead of you as you come around the first corner. To get around the corner, toss out some smoke to get past the mounted gun. Clear out the mortar area when you reach it and head back to the path you were just on. Head to the left and under the bridge. Make a right up the hill and clear out the mortar position there. Once it is clear, head east through the tunnel to the next mortar hole. Clear it out and regroup with your squad.

Mission Seven: Relentless

After the fireworks start, hop off the tank and move forward with your big gun. Take out the enemies that pop up and continue to push forward. Once you clear out the first unit tank emplacement, continue through the trench to the second. Once you reach it, you can use the Triple 25 to clear the rest of it out pretty quickly. Continue moving forward once all is quiet to finish clearing it out. Once it is, head north up the hill to rendezvous with the flame tank. Follow it up the hill a little ways and then a swarm of enemies will come out from an opening to the left. Wipe them all out and then enter the cave there. Follow the path and slaughter everyone you come across until you reach the large room at the end with two large guns over looking the ocean. Once the room is clear, regroup with your squad and end the mission.

Mission Eight: Blood and Iron

Well that’s quite the fancy tank you have there. Your first objective is to destroy the 4 enemy artillery outposts which can be done from a far distance. Roll up the road a little ways and around the first turn will be the first large gun to take out. Do so and continue to clear out the soldiers at the barn on the right and the tanks that appear. Continue down the road and you will come to another gun on the left and some more tanks. Keep moving and don’t stop as you take out the tanks.

Once they are down, kill the gun and proceed forward. Use the flamethrower on the small gathering of soldiers to make sure their rocket soldiers don’t do too much damage to your tank. Continue to the rest of the guns and then you will need to proceed to the radio tower. Follow the road and destroy the bunker there past the last gun and make a right to find some more tanks. Destroy them and continue forward to the radio tower. Use your main gun on the tanks in the area and the tower and forget about the soldiers there when the tower is destroyed.

Head West and you will come to another gathering of soldiers at a bunker. Keep moving as you take out the four tanks gathered there and continue to nail the bunker with rounds to take it down. Once it is destroyed, continue west and follow the road to a hill on the left. Stay at the top of the hill and peg all the tanks down below on both the left and right. Once they are clear roll down and clear out the remaining soldiers. Head right and follow around to the train station and end the mission.

Mission Nine: Ring of Steel

After the intro, head forward up the hill and meet with your squad. Wait for the explosions and then charge forward with the gang to attack the German defences. Head to the right and jump over the short wall and get behind the tank for cover. Head forward and to the right again to the building there and clear it out of Germans. Head up the stairs and grab the Panzerschrek and shot a few rounds into the building across from you. Head back down the stairs and run up the alley to the right and use the corner for cover to take out the enemies rushing out of the building. Kill enough and your tanks will eventually come rolling through.

Enter the building where the wall gets blown apart and follow Reznov up the stairs and through the building until you come outside. Get out of the way of the tank that comes calling and wait for it to smash through the wall. Head through the opening and make your way to the right, down the street. Use everything you can for cover and slowly make your way through the enemies. Toss grenades to help thin them out and eventually you will come to an opening on the left. Head down the stairs there and continue to the right. Clear the swarm of enemies there by using the walls for cover and enter the asylum at the far end. Follow Reznov to the stairs and make your way up and through until you run into some Germans.

Clear them out and continue past to an opening in the wall. Grab the Panzerschrek off the shelf to the left and use the mounted gun to clear the enemies across from you. Hop off and continue through the building to find a boat load more Germans. Kill and clear them as you pass them and eventually you will come to an opening that will lead you back down to the street. Make your way up the street killing the remaining Germans and using lots of cover. Be sure to stay out of the middle of the street as your tanks will come rolling up behind you and will smash you. Make it to the end of the street and the mission will end.

Mission Ten: Eviction

Make your way down the corridor and follow Reznov into the next room. Watch the scene and continue following the group. Run across the rooftop to the next building and down the stairs to find a German radio room. Clear it out and head to the left to follow the next corridor that is full of Germans. Kill them and then head down the stairs and you will come to a room with many more Germans mulling about. Take your time taking them out because there really is a whole crap ton of them. Once they are all finally dead, head through the next opening and quickly run to the right to avoid the Panzerschrek fire from across the room.

Make your way along the hallway and clear out the enemies there behind the barriers and enter the corridor to the right. Once they are cleared, grab the Panzerschrek from the fallen enemy behind the barrier and head down the stairs in the center of the room. Fire it down the corridor to the mounted gun there to kill it and follow the rest of your group as they make their way through. Head down the stairs through the smoke and you will come to a German filled room on the left. Clear it out and follow the rubble to the far side and you will come outside. Head down the stairs and make your way to the left, down the street. Use the tanks for cover and eventually you will come to a subway entrance. Kill the Germans there and head down the stairs.

Enter the subway station and make your way down the platform. Use the darkness for cover and use the side rooms to flank the enemies on the platform. Once you reach the end, head through the train car and hop in the water. Move forward and cover Reznov as he tried to open the door. Keep killing enemies until a scene plays and the mission ends.
