From the fields of France to the Volga River--from the smallest squads dropped behind enemy lines, to the massive divisions that won the war on multiple fronts--the soldiers of the Allied Forces stopped the German Army by standing and fighting together, side by side. , In Call of DutyTM you get to fight alongside your brothers-in-arms as history comes alive. In momentous battles from D-Day to Stalingrad, you'll find yourself in incredibly real terrain, caught in breathtaking life and death combat. You'll fight as American and British paratroopers and as a young Russian soldier conscripted into the Soviet Army. Whether cut off in a village in Normandy, battling to re-take Red Square, boarding and sinking a German battleship, speeding down German-held roads or rescuing Allied officers from a German stronghold, the dangers are more than any one soldier can overcome. To make it through, you'll need your buddies around you, and they'll need you. That's what war is about, and it's what Call of Duty TM is all about.

THE SINGLE PLAYER GAME In the single player campaigns of the game, you play as an Allied soldier deep in the thick of some of the fiercest combat of the Second World War. The success of your squad, the completion of your mission and your very survival will depend on how well you move, how well you shoot and, perhaps most importantly, how well you keep your wits about you. To begin a single player game, select Play Call of DutyTM Single Player from the Call of DutyTM folder contained in the Programs section of the Windows® Start Menu. 4 5 PLAYING THE GAME Each mission's briefing will provide crucial information about the setting, objectives, opportunities and potential obstacles you'll encounter. This information will take the form of personal journal entries or communiqués from your superiors. Study them closely before entering the mission. The information they contain could save your life. Status Text ­ Throughout the game, updates appear here including changes in mission objectives, picking up health and other alerts. Ammunition Counter ­ The box in the lower right-hand section of the screen is your ammunition counter. The first number indicates how many rounds are in your current weapon's clip. The second number indicates your total number of rounds. Health Bar ­ This bar indicates your current health status. A full green bar indicates full health. The bar reduces in size and changes color along the spectrum from green to red as you lose health. Crosshair ­ Use your crosshair to aim your weapon at your enemies. When you run or walk, your crosshair will widen, indicating the lack of accuracy that comes from attempting to aim while moving. The wider the crosshair, the less accurate your shots. When you stop moving, you automatically steady your weapon and your crosshair narrows. It is often wisest to fire when completely stopped to ensure accurate shots (and enable you to conserve ammo). Crouching or lying prone also keeps your crosshair focused, and it is advisable to use these positions whenever possible. Your crosshair will change when you encounter interactive objects. If you move your crosshair over an ally who is close to you, you will see your crosshair change to the image of a person. Press the Use key (default: F ) to ask individuals to move out of your line of sight. Pickup Indicator ­ This indicator appears when there is an item you can pick up, be it a health kit, secret documents or a new weapon. In order to pick up the desired item, press your Use key (default: F ). In the case of a new weapon (or ammunition for your current arsenal), you must press and hold the Use key. 7 In-Game Display Crosshair Status Text Compass Ammunition Counter Stance Indicator Pickup Indicator Health Indicator Compass ­ The compass is useful for helping you navigate your surroundings and for getting your bearings. In addition to showing you which direction you're facing, it also shows you the location of Allies in your vicinity (green arrows) and the location of your current objective (a golden star). Stance Indicator ­ The triangle-shaped icon shows you what your current stance is in the game. The icon will change from standing to crouching to prone, depending on the stance you choose. 6 MOVEMENT CONTROLS The default movement keys are as follows: Command Forward Backpedal Move Left Move Right Lean Left Default Key W S A D Q Description Walk forward.

Stance Down Unbound 8 9 Crouching and Going Prone As soon as you enter your first battle, you'll find that a soldier who stands around often winds up dead. A shrewd player will make use of both the crouch and prone stance positions when in the thick of battle to keep cover, avoid enemy fire and move without exposing himself to danger. Keep in mind that while crouched or prone, you'll be harder to hit, but won't move as fast as when standing up. Additionally, when prone, you'll crawl on your belly at a very slow pace and won't be able to fire while moving. IMPORTANT TIP: Always use available cover! Crouching or lying behind trees and brush can keep the enemy from spotting you. Getting behind bulletproof objects can save you from gunfire. Leaning The ability to lean around corners and obstacles is essential to your survival. Leaning minimizes your exposure in ...
