The Battle of Pointe du Hoc | D-Day Call of Duty 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

TIME AND PLACE: June 6, 1944; Normandy

YOU ARE: Corporal Bill Taylor

The first mission of the American campaign looks a lot like the Omaha Beach level from the "MOH: AA" game, although I can assure you that it's going to be presented in a more spectacular way. You start off inside a boat (screen 1). You can observe your surroundings. After that, start moving forwards. Taylor (your new hero for the following missions) is going to lose consciousness for a few seconds as a result of a huge explosion (screen 2).

One of the Allied soldier will show up (screen 1). He will be carrying your soldier to safety. You can't do anything at the moment. I would recommend observing your surroundings. After that, start moving towards your current target (use the compass). Remember to stick close to the cliff (screen 2), so you won't be hit by any of the German snipers.

After reaching your destination talk to one of the Allied soldiers. New orders should appear on your screen. Press the F key in order to use the rope. The goal is simple - you will have to get to the top of this cliff (screen 1). After that, follow the other Allied soldiers. It appears that the huge guns aren't here. You will have to find them. Use one of the nearest trenches for cover. It would be wise to pick up a gun from one of the killed soldiers (screen 2), because the sniper rifle will not be useful at the moment.

Keep heading towards the next objective. Remember that you shouldn't expose your position, because the area is swarming with enemy forces (screen 1). You might want to kill those Germans who aren't protected by anyone. It would also be wise to use grenades. You should see a bunker in a few seconds. Use some smoke grenades in order to blind German soldiers (screen 1). Exit the trenches and follow the rest of the Allied soldiers.

You should kill some of the Germans hiding in one of the bunkers, although this is not necessary (screen 1), because you will return here in a few minutes. Follow the rest of the squad (screen 2). I would recommend picking up a decent rifle or a heavy machine gun with a lot of ammo.

You should reach your destination point in a few seconds. Wait for the other crew members to arrive. The area is going to bombarded by Allied units (screen 1). Start shooting at the German soldiers. You should use the destroyed truck for extra cover (screen 2).

After taking care of the German units start following the current squad leader (screen 1). You won't encounter any more Nazis at the moment. The enemy forces will appear inside the village. You will have to take control of the surrounding buildings (screen 2), clearing them one by one.

Start off by checking all of the surrounding buildings (screen 1). Some of them may be well guarded. There's a heavy machine gun post hidden inside the destroyed roof of one of the buildings (screen 2). You've got to take it out, either by shooting the Germans, or by throwing some of the carried grenades at them. Bear in mind that more enemy troops may appear in the area.

I would recommend checking your surroundings before moving any further. Some Germans may be hiding in the narrow alleys (screen 1). Head on to the building with the destroyed roof. Use the stairs to get to the upper floor. You should encounter some new enemy units here (screen 2). Take them out swiftly.

Stand by the right window and press the F key in order to use the heavy machine gun. Start shooting at the visible German soldiers (screen 1). You may return to the ground floor. Warning! There might be some additional enemy units hiding in the unexplored rooms of this complex (screen 2).

Head on to the small door leading to the nearby field (screen 1). Rejoin with the rest of the squad. Remember to keep a crouching position at all times. You should try attacking enemy forces from the left flank. It would also be wise to use some of the carried grenades (screen 2). Be sure to hide behind the brick walls.

You should see a second group of enemy soldiers in a few seconds (screen 1). I would recommend scoring at least 3-4 headshots. Wait for the other squad members to advance to new positions. You should reach small crossroads very soon. Most of your teammates will stay here. You will have to follow sergeant Randall (screen 2).

You should reach the field with the guns in just a few seconds (screen 1). You won't have to worry about German forces at the moment. There aren't any soldiers nearby. You will be placing small charges on each of the guns (screen 2), so they can be safely neutralized. After that, get back to your squad leader. Start running towards the rest of the team.

Once you reach the crossroads some new objectives should appear on your screen (screen 1). You will have to secure three enemy bunkers. They are located near the cliffs. You were trying to avoid them earlier. Start off by following the rest of the squad. You will encounter German forces along the way (screen 2). Just as before, I would recommend surprising them from the flank.

Keep pushing forward. A large group of Nazi soldiers should appear on the nearby field. It would be best to throw a couple of grenades at the enemy troops (screen 1). You might also consider waiting for the other crew members to show up. Head on to your destination. Wait for one of the team members to blow up the gate leading to the destroyed field (screen 2).

I would recommend taking on the left bunker, because it's separated from the other two objects. Start off by killing some of the nearby soldiers (screen 1). Enter the bunker itself. You will be surprised by at least 3-4 Germans (screen 2). You've got to be careful. One of the soldiers may be hiding near the entrance (on the left). Leave the bunker. Use the nearby tunnel.

You should reach the second bunker within a few seconds. First of all, take cake of the soldiers who were brave enough and decided to join you (screen 1). Enter the bunker and kill the rest of the Germans. Head on to the last bunker. You've got to be very careful, because it is being defended by some massive enemy forces. Eliminate soldiers who were hiding in the room located on the left side of the bunker (screen 2).

Start running towards the entrance. Take care of a single soldier. He will be standing by the heavy machine gun post (screen 1). There are some more Germans on the right side. Enter the bunker and deal with two of the German officers (screen 2). Thankfully, they'll be only equipped with some weak pistols. You can exit the bunker now.

The last objective requires you to clear out the rest of the field (screen 1). You can do this on your own or wait for your teammates to track down and kill remaining German soldiers. After that, rejoin with the rest of the squad. Listen to what sergeant Randall has to say about this (screen 2).
