Call of Duty 2 – Big Red One – XBox

Call of Duty 2 - Big Red One - Platform: XBox

Machine guns:
-------------
When manning a machine gun, a short six or seven round burst works best 
against enemies. If a lot of enemies get close, lie prone and throw a 
grenade at them. Then, quickly get back on the machine gun.

Avoiding more attacks:
----------------------
Sometimes enemies will just keep coming unless you move up. Keep moving 
forward to cover when you are not under fire.

Africa tank mission:
--------------------
In the first tank mission in Africa, there is a Flak 88 gun that will 
take out one of your tanks. The gun is on the right side inside a 
building and is not visible. Shoot the second building on the right 
side. It is the tallest one and will start to crumble when hit. Also, 
some of your troops are on the right side. Do no run them over. 
They will help you by taking out the other Flak 88 gun. All you have 
to do is take out the two machine gunners on the right side after the 
first Flak 88 gun.

Bomber mission:
---------------
In the bomber mission, at the end it will allow you to choose any machine 
gun turret to defend the plane from. It is recommended, at least under the 
hard difficulty setting, that you stay at the back turret. It takes too 
long to get to the front, and your plane may get shot down.

Second to last mission:
-----------------------
In the second to last mission, after you finish clearing out houses of 
enemies, your tank will get ambushed by a Flak 88 gun and a mortar crew. 
You must first defend your position. Move into the shack building on the 
right side and move into the top right corner of the building. Watch out 
for enemies in the top of the building to your left. Once you have taken 
out all those enemies, focus on the enemies near the tank. Once you repel 
the assault, you and another soldier must take out the mortar crew. 
Follow the other soldier and keep your M1 Carbine out. When you get near 
the center of the town, duck behind the brick wall and pick off the two 
mortar men in the building in front of you. Then, charge up the steps 
towards the Flak 88 gun. If you sit behind the wall for too long, the 
Flak 88 gun will get you. Use your Thompson to take out the two men manning 
the Flak 88 gun, then plant the explosive charge. Run for cover towards the 
shack that you were defending earlier. Do not worry about the machine gun in 
the window; the Flak 88 will provide you with enough cover.

Last mission:
-------------
When you are going thought the dragon's teeth, take out the machine gunner 
and his friend in the middle tower. Then, make a run half way thought the 
dragon's teeth. Next, go prone behind a tooth. Take out the enemies around 
you and in the tower. Then, get up and run all the way through and underneath 
the last tower for cover. Wait for your squad to arrive, then storm up the 
hill and go into the bunker.
