Armored Car Escape | Rommel's Last Stand Call of Duty 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
TIME AND PLACE: March 10, 1943; Toujane
YOU ARE: Sergeant John Davis
This is a very challenging mission. You will have to escape from this city. Toujane is being occupied by the enemy forces. First of fall, use the right machine gun post. Start shooting at the enemy soldiers (screen 1). A truck should arrive here in a couple of seconds. It will appear on your right. Take care of some additional units (screen 2).
Keep shooting at the enemy soldiers. Most of them will be coming from the nearby street. Nevertheless, you also have to watch out for smaller groups. They will be appearing near your building. It would be wise to shoot at some barrels to dispose of them faster (screen 1). You should see an armored car heading this way (screen 2).
The moment you hear your squad leader shouting ABANDON this post. The armored car will start shooting at the nearby windows. You'd be killed almost instantly (screen 1). You should receive some new orders. Wait for the enemies to arrive. Kill them the moment they try to get in (screen 2). You may now proceed outside.
I would recommend taking a machine gun (MP-40) from one of the killed soldiers. This weapon may come in handy in the following fights. Use the stairs to get to the ground floor. Throw a couple of grenades to the nearby room. Start shooting at those who managed to survive the explosions (screen 1). Leave the building. Turn left. Start moving forward (screen 2).
The idea of this whole thing is to take control of the armored car. You should start seeing new soldiers. Kill them (screen 1). You may pick up a rifle for a couple of minutes. This is not necessary. The other enemy soldiers will appear on the roofs of the surrounding buildings (screen 2). You've got to eliminate them.
Eliminate the guards standing by the armored car. You have to do it from a safe distance. You may consider throwing a couple of smoke grenades (screen 1). Wait for the other crew members to arrive. Stand by the car and press the F key in order to take control of the gunner's position (screen 2).
You will be taking care of the enemy soldiers. WARNING!! DO NOT overheat the gun. Otherwise, you will have to wait for it to cool down. You should start seeing enemy soldiers on the nearby square (screen 1). Kill them. You will encounter another armored car in a couple of minutes. Start shooting at it. You'll be able to blow it up without any problems (screen 2).
You've got to watch out for guys armed with rocket launchers. One of them will be standing on the roof of the right building (screen 1). Eliminating those soldiers should be considered as an absolute priority. The second shooter can also be found on the right roof (screen 2).
The armored car will encounter an enemy tank in a couple of seconds. It'll force your team driver to pick a different route (screen 1). Watch out for a soldier with the rocket launcher (screen 2). Listen to your squad members in order to locate these enemies. They will help you a lot.
One of the surrounding buildings is being defended by two enemy soldiers armed with rocket launchers (screen 1). Thankfully, they're staying close to each other, so you shouldn't have any problems eliminating them. A second tank will block your way. Use your gun to get rid of it (screen 2).
Keep firing at the enemy soldiers. They will be coming from all directions. Concentrate your efforts on checking the nearby houses and darker alleys (screen 1). You will be attacked by a truck loaded with enemy troops (screen 2). Kill the soldiers and destroy the vehicle itself (aim at the engine).
A second truck will appear on the map in a couple of seconds. Take it out (screen 1). There are more soldier armed with rocket launchers nearby. Just as before, listen to your teammates. It will help you in locating their positions. Destroy the barrels in order to blow up one of the trucks blocking the way (screen 2).
There should be at least two more soldiers (I'm talking about the guys armed with RPG's) in the vicinity. You have to locate and kill them (screen 1). Nevertheless, the armored car is going to be destroyed. As a result, your soldier will lose consciousness for a few seconds (screen 2). Don't worry, because this couldn't be avoided in any way.
Wait for your soldier to regain full consciousness. Rejoin the rest of the team (screen 1). You will have to reach the extraction zone on foot. It will be also important to AVOID contact with larger groups of enemy soldiers. Reaching the extracting point should be considered an absolute priority. Start moving forward. You will be attacked by a small group of enemy soldiers. Kill them or let your teammates deal with the Nazi forces (screen 2).
Head on to the darker passage. You will be attacked by some German troops. Killing them shouldn't be a problem (screen 1). I wouldn't recommend using grenades. You should meet some new allied soldiers along the way. Ignore them (screen 2). Follow the squad leader. Remember that you should concentrate your efforts on reaching the extraction point safely.
You should be killing only those soldiers who present immediate threat (screen 1). It would be wise to use some grenades. Thanks to them you'll deal with the Nazis faster than usual. Your goal is the extraction point located outside the city walls. You will notice a truck. Wait for your team members to use it.
