Call of Duty 2
PC
Completing Veteran mode
In Veteran mode, your life expectancy is cut to three or four shots until you die. However, Veteran mode does not improve the enemy's aim or strategy. Use small blocks or small bulges of hills as cover and crawl, because you do not get points for kills, so do not take the Nazis head on. Let your allies lay some fire, if there are any. If not, throw a smoke grenade and shift between crouch and crawl positions, laying cover fire and stall some time for the smoke grenade to spread before the Nazis rush in. Use this smoke cover to fall back to the nearest safe position where you can regroup or hide and pick the Nazis off from afar.
Determining if enemies are still alive
Even after you shoot the enemy, he may still be alive. Make sure to aim your crosshairs at him and see if it turns red. If it does, it indicates that the enemy is still alive, and you must shoot him again. Do not give the enemy the chance to shoot you from behind while he regains consciousness.
Determining grenade danger
The grenade indicator is useful, however, you do not have to run away from it every time. If the indicator points that a grenade has landed near you, but you are taking cover behind a wall, you do not need to run away. Instead, the grenade will explode and not damage you at all.
Kill requirements
Head shots are instant kills. Body shots require two or more shots for a kill.
Word to the Wise:
Recommended weapons: When you find a Kak 98, pick it up. It is one of the most powerful guns in the game. There is a scoped-Kak 98 in the last level (Dragon's Teeth) in the second bunker in the building.
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
PS2
Africa tank mission:
In the first tank mission in Africa, there is a Flak 88 gun that will destroy 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:
At the end of the bomber mission, you will get to choose any machine gun turret to defend the plane from. It is recommended, at least on 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.
Machine guns:
When manning a machine gun, shoot in short six or seven round bursts 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.
Last mission:
When you are going through the dragon's teeth, kill the machine gunner and other enemies 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.
Word to the Wise:
Avoiding more attacks: Sometimes enemies will just keep coming unless you move up. Keep moving forward to cover when you are not under fire.

Extra Money: Grab your opponent and interrogate him until he drops a credit card or his wallet. Then, execute him and choose to steal. He will either give you a credit card or wallet, depending on what you got the first time. Normally when you kill an enemy and steal from them, you will only get either a wallet or a credit card, and never both.
