TIME AND PLACE: November 6, 1942; El Daba

YOU ARE: Sergeant John Davis

You should remember this mission from the "Call of Duty 2" demo version. You start off on a back of the truck. Enjoy the views (screens 1 & 2). You may want to take a closer look at the fights taking place near the city walls.

After reaching your final destination jump off the truck and start moving towards the right passage. Follow the current squad leader (screen 1). The idea of these actions is to surprise Germans standing by the heavy machine guns. Take care of some enemy soldiers (screen 2). I would recommend using the grenades. Start shooting at those guys who actually managed to survive the explosions.

Continue pushing forward. It would be best to crouch at all times. Choose the darker passage. Start shooting at the enemy soldiers (screen 1). A couple of Nazis will be hiding in one of the surrounding buildings (screen 2). Use some of your grenades to take care of this small problem.

You should be able to surprise the MG-42 crew without any major problems (screen 1). Remember to pick up some grenades lying by the killed soldiers. New mission objectives should appear on your screen. You will have to take care of some big guns located on the beach. Head on to the nearest building (screen 2). It is being guarded by one of the allied soldiers.

Use the stairs to get to the upper floor. You should come across another group of allied soldiers. Keep moving forward. One of the enemies is lying on the ground (screen 1). Deal with him QUICKLY!! It is very important, because he possessed a heavy machine gun. You should also watch out for some grenades. Take care of the other enemy soldiers. Continue moving forward (screen 2). Use your compass to help you navigate to your destination.

You should finally reach the beach guns (screen 1). Start off by throwing some grenades at the enemy soldiers. You will also have to take care of an enemy sniper. He is standing on the roof of the right building (screen 2). Before you move any further wait for your squad members to show up.

Start moving forward. Use barrels for extra cover. It would be wise to use your grenades while fighting larger groups of enemy soldiers (screen 1). Hide behind the crates located on the right (screen 2). You should be able to take care of some new enemies. Be sure to kill guys standing by a heavy machine gun post.

You should be informed about fulfilling one of the main objectives of this mission (screen 1). Now you will have to transmit a radio signal, so the allied destroyers will be able to destroy the unprotected guns. Use some smoke grenades in order to blind the nearest group of enemy soldiers (screen 2).

Start off by eliminating soldiers that were trying to hold on to this square. Be careful to not to shoot any of the allied troops. Stand near one of the exits (screen 1). New enemies will be trying to breach this position. Continue moving forward. It would be wise to choose a small alley. You will encounter at least one group of enemy soldiers (screen 2).

You will have to deal with at least two more enemy soldiers along the way (screen 1). Remember to lean out a lot. You can also use some of your grenades, mostly to take care of the Nazis hiding on the roof of the nearest building (screen 2).

After securing the whole area enter the nearest building. You will be encountering some massive enemy forces in here (screen 1). Be sure to check all rooms. Watch out for some additional units. The soldiers are hiding below the stairs leading to the first floor (screen 2). You should go there now.

You should reach a small balcony. Take out the remaining enemy soldier (screen 1). He should be hiding, so you might have some problems locating him. Go to the balcony now. Use the radio to send a message to one of the allied destroyer ships (screen 2).

You might want to take a look at the naval forces destroying the guns (screen 1). After the fireworks have ended rejoin your team. The other soldiers should be waiting near the entrance to this building. Now you will have to take care of the enemy headquarters. Use your compass to help you navigate to your current destination (screen 2).

You should notice a couple of heavy machine gun posts in the area. You will have to avoid them in order to surprise enemy soldiers. Follow the rest of your squad members (screen 1). One of the allies will try to gain access to the nearest building. He will be killed. Throw a couple of grenades in there. Enter the building and deal with those soldiers who managed to survive the explosions (screen 2).

Start shooting at the another group of enemy soldiers. They were trying to use the nearest stairs (screen 1). If you're lucky, they won't even have the opportunity to turn around and respond to your actions. Use the stairs and enter the second building. Get closer to the hole in the wall (screen 2). You should see a couple of guys standing by the heavy machine guns. Kill them. You may also want to use come of the carried grenades.

You've got to be careful. A couple of enemy snipers have just appeared on the map. It would be best to pick up a standard rifle and score some headshots (screen 1). After you're done with them, get closer to the MG-42 positions. Turn around and start shooting at the soldiers hiding inside one of the surrounding buildings (screen 2).

You can finally proceed to the German headquarters (screen 1). The building itself is well defended. There are a lot of enemy troops inside. You will have to deal with them (screen 2). Be sure to clear the ground floor and then head on to the nearest stairs.

Before you reach the upper floor you should turn around and start shooting at the enemy soldiers (screen 1). They will be guarding one of the tables. You may also want to use some grenades, although they aren't necessary at this point. Pick up the documents. They are lying on the main table (screen 2). Exit the building.

You should try using one of the heavy machine guns. You will be able to kill some of the nearby enemy soldiers (screen 1). Rejoin the rest of the squad. Choose the left path (screen 2). You will have to get back to the beach... exactly where the big guns were standing.

You should notice a couple of enemy soldiers along the way. They will be retreating (screen 1). You can deal with them if you want to. Head on to the beach. Talk to the squad leader in order to complete this mission (screen 2).
