The campaign is by far the shortest step in the game since it only requires you to complete it on the hardest difficulty. There are 10 levels throughout the entire game. You get one achievement for completing each level on any difficulty and another for completing the level on the hardest difficulty. There are no collectibles, secret areas, items, or features within the game that are related to any achievements. You just go in, complete the objectives provided and then you get the achievement for completing the level. Simple as that.
Note: There is a glitch in this game which could possibly prevent you from getting the "Five Star General" achievement which was mentioned in the "General Hints & Tips" page of the walkthrough. It is recommended that you complete the campaign in one sitting for the best chance of successfully getting the achievement to unlock. The campaign isn't very long since it takes around 2 - 5 hours to complete. I personally managed to complete the campaign on Hard Difficulty within 2 hours and 30 minutes (I completed it on Christmas Day as well... a sad way to enjoy the Christmas Celebrations).
I will provide you information for each of the objectives that are the game to help you out. But if you prefer a video collection, I have placed one video for each mission and they are all hidden in Spoilers to help ease the congestion. Credit for the video collection goes to ISQUARED.
Note: The video guides I have provided are game played on the PC Version. However there are no differences between the PC & the XBox 360 Version.
Level 1: Wake Island
1. Mission Objective: Find the missing pieces of the radio station.
You are Delvinski and you are under-fire in the bunkers and the pits on the beachside of the Japanese coast. You are requested to find the missing pieces of the radio station and each of them will be placed individually on your screen, giving you navigation as to where you need to go. Follow around the bunkers to the location and kill any enemies you see along the way. You will not have many to kill since this is an introduction.
2. Mission Objective: Find the second missing piece.
Just straight in front of you after you have picked up the first one. Watch out for the outside part on your right in case the enemies start shooting at you from the beach. You have covering fire in this location however.
3. Mission Objective: Find the last missing piece.
Be careful as soon as you grabbed the second piece because some enemies will start shooting at you straight ahead, so take them out. When it's clear run forward and grab the missing piece.
4. Mission Objective: Return to the radio station.
You will need to turn around and backtrack to the beginning part of the level, but as you pass by the area where your troops are taking defensive positions, look up and watch out for the enemies that are shooting on top of the cliff piece near the trees. Use the barrels and crates to take cover. When they are dead keep on following around the bunker and return to the starting location of the level. Approach the comrade that's sitting on the chair to acknowledge you have returned the radio parts to him. He will try to communication with Great Eagle but a Sergeant Marine will approach and says the Japanese are inbound.
5. Mission Objective: Follow the sergeant.
Simply keep behind this sergeant as you follow him around to the next part of the level you need to be. Try not to stray too far from him as you could get a Mission Failure if you put yourself too much distant away from him. He wil take you to where the marines we're taking covering fire at the beach section. When you both arrive it will be breached and the Japanese will charge in. Take out the enemies here but don't shoot your sergeant. Yes he has a habit where he will get in your way.
When they are dead, the sergeant will continue to run forward so you must keep up with him. Eventually you will see a T section part where you can run either left or right and 2 fellow marines will run on your left side. Keep following the sergeant as he will go right through the bunker tunnels. When you leave the tunnel piece quickly look on the top left for the enemies that will jump into the bunker and try to ambush you. Deal with them and resume following the sergeant. You will be at another T section and more enemies will jump into the bunker, so get rid of them as well. Watch out as you have minimal cover here to protect yourself.
The sergeant will go right again into another bunker tunnel with a tree lookalike. Finally you will be at a sandbag defense location with some turrets and fellow marines shooting away at the Japanese that are on the beachside.
6. Mission Objective: Use the mounted gun to destroy the advancing enemy.
Simply put you are requested to take hold of the Mounted Gun on the right side where your fellow defense marines are and blast away at the Japanese that are trying to run in and break the defenses. In honesty they will actually try to run in and kill you as a priority. The mounted gun has unlimited ammo but you must watch each of the sides as well as in front of you on a regular basis, since they will try to flank you.
Tip: You can exit from the gun at any time if you wish to take cover, or you prefer to use the weapons you carry in your hands. Be careful in which you will waste your own ammo using this method.
7. Mission Objective: Follow the sergeant.
Sometime after you've done some shooting and killing the sergeant will go into a panic state and run off. He will want you to go with him. Follow him back into the bunker tunnel with the tree pieces and kill the enemies that are inside this part. Reach the other side of the tunnel and kill the enemies at the T section. Now this time the sergeant will go left but you need to look on your top right when he goes left because the enemies once again will jump into the bunker from this part to ambush you. You should shortly see some of your fellow marines on the left nearby after clearing out the Japanese jumping into this part. Keep following the sergeant through another short tunnel and you will have more enemies to kill on the other side of it. Some of them will also jump into the bunker from the beach piece so be careful.
You will get a short breather as you run along with the sergeant but at some point on your right side you will get some Japanese trying to jump in and ambush you again. Plus you will shortly get some more at the end of another T section to take. Once again the sergeant will go right. You will then reach a different defense point with some more marines and another mounted gun to wield.
8. Mission Objective: Eliminate the second enemy wave.
Same as before in which when wielding the mounted gun, aim around all directions and take out any Japanese foes you see.
9. Mission Objective: Follow the sergeant.
You will need to follow the sergeant once again and you will be taken through another T section with a small tunnel that will have some enemies on the other side. Resume following the sergeant and kill the enemies along the passageway you need to go through to. Keep an eye on your left as more will ambush in your section of the bunker. You will also get some more enemies around a location with barrels & crates. But you can use the wooden pieces to take cover if needed.
The sergeant will go through another bunker tunnel and once again, more enemies will be on the other side for you to kill. The route he will take will eventually lead you to an opened area with an Anti-Aircraft Gun in the middile.
10. Mission Objective: Destroy the attacking planes.
You will now be inside the Anti-Aircraft Gun and you now need to move it around and shoot any planes you see in site. At first it won't be easy to figure out how to use the Aircraft Gun, but once you've played around with it for a bit, it will be second nature in a short moment. The planes will only appear around a bunker part that are in front of you. You need to shoot them as soon as you see them in site. At times you will get some that will fly across you. These are the ones that are a sign of danger since they can attack you. Prepare to be a sitting duck in this Aircraft Gun for a short while.
11. Mission Objective: Stop the advancing enemies.
When this mission appears you will need to follow some squadmates to a new location away from the Aircraft Gun. They will eventually stop at a covering point and will signal you that some enemies are in front of you at the opposite end of the bunker your at. Take them out and then continue running with your squadmates. You will get some more enemies at the end of another tunnel nearby the previous part. Then shortly after you run along a bit more, some more enemies will drop in and ambush you from the right side. You will get this a couple times along the same route. Finally you will reach a large opened section with a few fellow marines around you. The middle of it will be ambushed by a whole load of enemies for you all to kill. Take all of them ones out and your leaders will inform you that they are retreating. Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 2: Bataan
1. Mission Objective: Clear the beach area.
You will be within a small squad with the Sarge giving you an update on what is going on, until a blast occurs in which a waypoint will be assigned and you've got to get to that area. Where the waypoint is located will be some enemies standing in front of you. Take these ones out quickly since you have limited cover. You'll have some as well which will charge in from the right side of where they're based so don't rush in too quickly.
2. Mission Objective: Proceed through the jungle.
Simply enough you just need to follow your squad as they travel through the jungle, but as you turn the right corner you should see some more enemies around. Whilst the enemies will attack your squad as well as yourself, they will have a habit of picking on you more than your squadmates, so keep that in mind as you play. As you follow the squad you will turn a couple directions and then you'll have some more enemies to kill on your left side. You will also get some more on your right side after killing the ones on your left.
One point as you follow on will be an explosion down a small hill with some large rocks on the right. Then shortly afterwards some enemies will appear on the right side of these rocks.
3. Mission Objective: Get radio contact with the village.
Believe it or not as you push further onward the Sarge reckons there are too many Japanese foes to take out. He believes a radio contact will be needed for a chance of survival. You will then be required to follow a different squad member back into the forest to a new location to set the radio and contact the village. This squadmate has a bad habit of stopping and starting to run off again and again, since he will be trying to figure out where is a good place to set the radio. He will then find a position but as you can imagine, the enemies will be around trying to kill you both, so you've got to defend his position whilst he sets up the radio.
After defending the position he will suggest to head back to where the Sarge is. Once again you've just got to follow him.
4. Mission Objective: Fight your way to the village.
When you return to the Sarge you will need to cross the bridge section where the vehicle is also parked, but there's going to be a handful of enemies on the other side of the bridge. You can use the truck to take cover and peer through multiple times to pick off the enemies as you play.
5. Mission Objective: Defuse the mines.
After crossing the bridge you will get to a part where there will be some mines laid on the ground. They can be defused but you will need to get close to them and press the button needed to defuse them. At the same though you will also get some enemies in front of you past the mine section, so your going to need to do 2 things at once, because none of your other squad members will disarm the mines and cross the mine field while at least one of the mines is still armed.
6. Mission Objective: Fight your way to the village.
Continue your objective of crossing through the jungle with your squad, since they will now cross over. A plane will try to bomb your location but it will not kill any of you, so just proceed down the hilly path. When you turn the next left there will be some more enemies to kill here. You can use the broken tree on your right to take cover.
7. Mission Objective: Defend the convoy.
You will arrive at the village, but you will be required to defend it so that the remaining marines can load up the trucks for take-off. The Japanese will run in behind you where you we're before. You can use the sandbags nearby to take defense and peer over time to time to pick off the enemies as they run in. When they are all dead, you will leave the area and it will be Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 3: Guadalcanal 1
1. Mission Objective: Clear the landing zone.
You will be on the beachside but there will be limited cover. A waypoint will be placed on your screen and if you look in it's direction, there will be some more enemies for you to kill around it. Artillery will then strike around the beach your on, so you will need to cross over quickly.
2. Mission Objective: Find the enemy artillery position.
You will need to follow your squad out of the beach and onto the pathway. Some enemies will appear on the small hill part and will need to be dealt with before you can move on. The route will take you into the jungle and your squad at some point will stop for a moment. Enemies will then try to flank you and attack from behind. Turn round quickly and knock them aside. As you go deeper into the jungle some more enemies will appear around a rock piece section with the possibility that one or two may try to flank you. Keep en eye out just to play it safe. Run a little more foward and you will get some more enemies to kill nearby a section full of vines and a hill piece.
Your squad will go left so you must follow them up the hill with the Japanese taking an Artillery Defensive Position. Take them all out before you do the next objective.
3. Mission Objective: Destroy the enemy artillery x 3.
There will be 3 waypoints on your screen with the location of the 3 artillery guns that need destroying. Simply run up to each of them and place a charge on them. Once the charge has been set you will hear a clock ticking sound. They will explode but it's unknown how long they will take, since a timer for the charge will not appear on your screen. Your best bet is to arm one and quickly run to the next one.
4. Mission Objective: Proceed to Henderson Field.
Once again you will need to follow your squadmates and go downhill, deeper into the jungle. As you cross through the rock parts of the jungle some more enemies will be about for you to pick off as you go down. The route will take you down to an opened area and one of the Japanese enemies will use a mounted gun. You'll have to find a method to take him out, such as using a grenade or try and flank them if you wish. Take out the other enemies that will be around here as well.
There will be a river section on the right with some more enemies to pick off here as well. Cross this river and through into the jungle with your squad. Be careful as you run up this hill since some enemies will try to pick you off around the hilly section, possibly try to snipe you as well. Eventually you will see a defense tower up high on your left and you will then be nearby your next objective.
5. Mission Objective: Clear the airport area.
There is a broken tree on your left that you can use to defend yourself. Some enemies will run across from where you are but won't shoot you until they reach the left side. They will then run right towards where you are and start shooting at you. Run to your left and you will be heading towards where the airplanes are located. Keep on running because you will be attacked by the Japanese Zeroes Airplanes and this will give you a new objective.
6. Mission Objective: Use the AA gun to destroy the attacking planes.
A new waypoint on your map will show you where the AA gun is located, but it will also be defended by the Japanese, so you will need to kill them off as you go through the area. When you get to the AA gun you will need to hop into it once again and take down the airplanes that will be flying around the location where your at. Prepare to be sitting in this AA gun for a short while.
7. Mission Objective: Clear the airport area.
A new waypoint will appear but it will also have some Japanese enemies spawned around that you will need to kill. You will need to take out every enemy you see in sight and make sure the area is secured. Once it is it will be Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 4: Guadalcanal 2
1. Mission Objective: Clear the airfield of enemy presence & Hold your position.
You will start off right where the previous level left you. You will need to defend the airfield area which will be infested with Japanese Infantry. You have 2 Airplanes in front of you and this is the direction they will likely come from. You can use the Airplanes to take cover from bullet-fire, but try not to stray too far from your squad or you may get a failure for not following your orders.
2. Mission Objective: Retreat to a safe position.
Sometime after fighting through against the enemy forces, you will be instructed to retreat from the area your at. Yep... you will need to follow your squadmates once again into the jungle. You will eventually head to a section which will have some rocky cliffs and then your squadmates will state that it's an ambush. When this occurs quickly turn round the opposite direction where you came from and kill any enemies that are trying to flank you. As you travel through this rocky section, you will get these ambushes multiple times so whenever your squad states "ambush", turn round and kill anything that's behind you. You will eventually have a lengthy path of following your squad and not killing anything to eventually reach the airstrike location.
3. Mission Objective: Hold the position until the reinforcements arrive.
Like the start of the mission you now just need to defend the position from being overrun by the Japanese. They will all mostly attack from where you ran up earlier, but keep an eye around the area in case some enemies try to flank you.
4. Mission Objective: Return to the airfield.
You will once again need to follow your squad and return to the airfield where you we're at the start of the level. You will actually have a slight breeze and be able to go through most of this pathway without killing anyone, until you get to the rocky section which will likely hold a handful of enemies for you to deal with. You can use the rocks and trees to take cover around if need be. Once you have reached the hill part that will take you into the airfield, you need to tread lightly as the enemies will start to run in from where your positioned. You can try and pick them off here, before you go to the airfield yourself. Use the trees and rocks here to take cover as well for extra protection.
5. Mission Objective: Protect the radio man calling in the air-strike.
One of the squadmates is required to call an air-strike and you and one other squadmate will be chosen to protect him against the enemies that are surrounding the airfield. You will need to follow him to the location where he will call the air-strike. Kill any enemies that are on the airfield but make sure you stay with the squadmate as close as possible to avoid getting a failure for not following your orders.
Now once he has communicated with HQ, you will then see a Allied Airplane flyby, dropping an air-strike and you can then watch the fireworks. Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 5: Leyte 1
1. Mission Objective: Secure the landing zone.
This will be like a D-Day Battle, only this time it is within the Japanese Region. As soon as the shack part of the boat door opens quickly get off and crouch around the wooden planks or hills to defend yourself. Don't sit in the small bunker parts, they are the likely areas that will get mortered. You will need to move along the left and keep going in this direction following your squad leader. Kill any enemies you see along the way if you can, but if you can't then just try to take cover and flank the bullets if possible.
2. Mission Objective: Eliminate all pillboxes & Clear all trenches.
When these mission objectives appears it will show you a location nearby that will take you to a bunker section. This bunker will have enemies scattered around and some of them will use the Mounted Guns to take you and your squad out. You can either try to pick them off or use a grenade to flush them out.
When the first area is cleared, your squad leader will order you to go and clear the trenches. This will mostly be just following another squad member around the bunkers and then killing any enemies you see in sight. They recommend at times to toss a grenade in the pillbox locations, but as long as all the enemies in these locations are dead, it doesn't really matter.
3. Mission Objective: Defuse the minefield x 7.
Up on a small hill to an upper section of the bunkers will be mines scattered around. You need to crouch and slowly creep towards each of them to get them defused. Remember that the only way to defuse them is to press the button when the game allows you to do so. When they are all defused you will need to return to your squad leader and follow him to complete the next objective.
4. Mission Objective: Eliminate all pillboxes & Clear all trenches.
You now need to carry on with what you we're doing before and clear out all of the pillboxes and trenches you have missed out. Remember to kill any enemies in sight and be careful of any that are outside the bunker sections, waiting to ambush you and your squadmates.
5. Mission Objective: Stop the Banzai charges.
Sometime after taking out all the enemies in the pillboxes and trenches, your squad leader will stand still in a section and will state that the enemies are performing a charge. If you turn right up the pathway from where your positioned, you will notice a whole load of enemies will start charging in towards you and your squads. You will need to aim and kill as many of these as possible. They will likely flank you left and right so choose a side to take all the enemies out on first, then focus fire on the opposite side.
Once all of the banzai chargers are dead, your squad leader will get shot and will go into a sitting position. He will praise everyone's work... but will ask for a medic at the same time. With that remark... Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 6: Leyte 2
1. Mission Objective: Advance through the valley towards the Japanese supply depot.
Once again you will be following your squad leader throughout most of the mission. Start off by heading up the hill to where the two broken tree trunks are located. Enemies will be lurking around these parts, so use the trunks as protection. You can also use another broken tree trunk in front of them if it's required. When this area is cleared, catch up with the rest of your squad and proceed onward. There will be a huge rock nearby with a tree trunk on the right of this rock. Enemies will be behind this area as well, so use these 2 sources as cover and take out the enemies behind them. As you travel a little more further you will start to witness explosions that will be blasting around the area your based in.
2. Mission Objective: Defend against the enemy ambush x 3 & Advance through the valley towards the Japanese supply depot.
As well as your previous objective, you will be given a bonus one that will require you to eliminate the ambushes that will occur, as you playthrough this part of the level. It's not something new as you should have witnessed this in one of the previous missions that required you to turn round and shoot any enemies that are trying to flank you. In addition the enemies that are known to be the ones that will ambush you will actually be marked on your screen, making this objective way easier.
3. Mission Objective: Advance through the valley towards the Japanese supply depot.
Continuing from the first objective, kill any enemies you still have in the area your located in, then keep on following your squad. You must take note that at times the enemies may hide among the small trees and cliff pieces and try to shoot you from these positions. But you can easily pick them off since they will reveal their hidden positions by shooting at you.
4. Mission Objective: Clear the area of hostile forces & Advance through the valley towards the Japanese supply depot.
You should be in a section full of small trees and plants when this objective appears. You will still have the previous objective from when you started the level, but this objective will just require you to kill all the enemies you see as you follow your squad.
Travel a little further from where you are and kill the enemies that are running down the steep hill that's on your right side. When they are all dead go up the hill and take out the enemies that are using the large rock on the right as cover. Continue along the path that will make you go left and kill any enemies here. You will get a bunch of them around a broken tree trunk on the left and a large rock on the right. Cross through the trees and then continue going along the path with your squad.
Your squad leader will pre-warn at some point when you go down a small hill to prepare for heavy resistance. You should see a handful of enemies walking slowly around the path you are about to take. It's up to you if you want to pick them off or charge in and take them down. You can use the trees and broken trunks to take cover. Watch out for the mounted machine gun as that will likely be in use by your opponents.
5. Mission Objective: Clear the area of hostile forces.
You should then see the depot down the bottom of the hill your on, but it will be infested with a whole load of enemies. You will need to pick them off and make sure the area is fully clear, before you try to run in and take control of it. When you do clear it out and run in, check your right side as there will likely be more enemies for you to kill that will either shoot or run round in circles trying to retreat.
6. Mission Objective: Sabotage enemy supply buildings x 3.
When the enemies are all dead you will be given Explosive Charges and targets will be placed on your screen. All you have to do now is go to each of the buildings and set a charge on each of them. You can take your time doing this as no enemies will be about and the charges will not explode for the time being. Once the final charge has been set, head over to your squad leader and he will order everyone to escape the area. You don't have to do this as you will now be awarded Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 7: Luzon
1. Mission Objective: Go to the rendezvous point & Eliminate 3 snipers on the cliffs x 3
Straight to the point, as your squadmates are having conversations one of them will get killed by a Sniper. You will be given an objective to kill the Snipers that are lurking about on the cliffs in this area where your at. From where your standing if you zoom around the top parts of the cliffs, you should see the Snipers that you can kill. They will reveal themselves and will not use the trees to take over. Kill these Snipers quickly because if you leave them for too long, they can be a problem since they have good accuracy.
Follow your squadmates as they retreat to another area within the rainy jungle. There will be some enemies around a large rock where they will be heading to. Take out the enemies here and keep an eye out for Snipers in case you have missed any.
2. Mission Objective: Go to the rendezvous point.
If you get this objective, it means the snipers have been dealt with and you just need to continue following your squad. You will venture deep into the jungle and you will have to fight some enemies around the trees and the depths of the jungle. Continue as you are and eventually you will find a plane that has been shot down and on the ground nearby.
3. Mission Objective: Continue to the rendezvous point.
You will be given this objective the same time as when you found the downed airplane. Keep on going through the jungle, following your squad and kill the enemies that will pop out of the tree parts. Your squad will then go right and you will witness some explosions around the jungle. Some more enemies to kill will be around a couple broken tree trunks, with some explosions afterwards. You will go deeper into the jungle nearby a stream and then the next objective will appear.
4. Mission Objective: Hold the position & Continue to the rendezvous point.
You will see some more explosions around here and you will need to hold your position around the streamline from the enemies. Chances are they will attack you from behind so make sure you turn round on occasions and pick off the enemies as you attack.
5. Mission Objective: Continue to the rendezvous point.
Resume your mission and continue through into the jungle with your squad. Fight off against the enemies around the broken tree trunks and the jungle parts.
6. Mission Objective: Destroy the artillery position & Continue to the rendezvous point.
At this point there will be two ways in which you can take. You are required to go left first but watch out whilst the squad leader is talking to you, because it's possible an enemy from a sandbag will still be shooting you with a mounted gun. Quickly take him out and then kill any enemies that are still lurking around this area. There will be an enemy in the high tower on the left, nearby the sandbag so make sure you take him out as you travel through this area as well. When the section is cleared you will see 2 Artillery Cannons that need a charge on each of them to blow. Remember that once you set a charge on one of these cannons that you will have no idea how long the charge will take before it explodes since there's no timer.
7. Mission Objective: Continue to the rendezvous point.
Continue following your squad after the last artillery cannon has exploded with your charge. They will venture more deeper into the jungle around a rocky point, then along a straight pathway, that will take you to some bunkers and sheltered huts. This is where the enemies will camp about so make sure all of them are dead here before you move on.
Finally not far after this part you will go down a small hill path and after killing a small bunch of enemies you should see a Tank & Truck. Your squad leader will claim that these are fellow American Marines and you will be awarded Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 8: Iwo Jima 1
1. Mission Objective: Secure the landing area.
Once again you will start off in a boat that will open shack doors, giving you access to the beachside. Prepare for another minor D-Day event. You will need to follow your squad leader in this location, but watch out for the explosives and don't stay in the small bunker areas that are likely getting bombed. Your squad leader will likely be running right and making a straight path. If you can't kill any enemies, just keep on following your squadmates and crouch around areas to protect yourself from the attacks.
2. Mission Objective: Eliminate all pillboxes & Clear all trenches.
Another familiar mission from the past. You will need to get into the bunkers and eliminate all of the enemies that are taking control of these areas. Your squad leader will run around as well giving you an idea of which directions you will need to go to, since you would get a failure for not following orders if you don't keep up with him. Be cautious that as you take out some of the pillboxes that enemies may spawn behind you and try to attack from behind. Also remember to keep an eye on areas that the enemies can jump into the bunker to ambush.
3. Mission Objective: Eliminate all enemy snipers x 3.
After completing a handful of the above objectives, you will get this mission around a trench location that requires you to kill some snipers. Chances are your squad leader will take you to the location where the snipers are, but if not they are located after crossing through a bunker tunnel. You should see 3x Target Points which will indicate the snipers that need to be killed to complete the objective.
4. Mission Objective: Eliminate all pillboxes & Clear all trenches.
Continue following your squad leader around the level and take out any enemies that are holding pillboxes or trenches.
5. Mission Objective: Destroy the artillery position.
You should at some point alongside your squad leader get some allies that will jump into the bunker with you. They claim that the Japanese Artillery are bombing the beach. You will be assigned to go and take out the artillery with some other squadmates. You will need to follow your squad once again and the route will take you into a small tunnel section on the left. Enemies will be around here with the route taking you to a large trench section. Kill anything that's in here and continue following your squad member around these parts of the bunkers. You should at some point see the Artillery that needs a charge placed down to explode it. Simply press the button that prompts you to add a charge and then make a runner towards the sarge to work on the next objective.
6. Mission Objective: Follow the sergeant.
Simple enough, follow him for a short moment until you get the next objective.
7. Mission Objective: Secure the entrance to the underground.
This new objective will appear nearby a location that will be surrounded by crates, huts, mounted machine guns and a whole load of enemies for you to kill. The route here would take you into a cave, but for the time being your priority is to kill any enemy you see in sight. Make sure you use the crates here as your source of cover. When all the enemies are dead and the area is secured, you will be awarded Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 9: Iwo Jima 2
1. Mission Objective: Secure the entrance area.
In a slight twist this level will be based within a cave which is full of resources, refreshments and items the Japanese can use. You have breached this far and now you must take out whatever possible and claim this cave yours.
As soon as you start the level look through a small archway nearby the crates where you start and take out any enemies that are shooting you from this location. Your squad will help guide you here should you have no clue where the enemies are located.
2. Mission Objective: Cut the communication wire.
Your squad leader will give you instructions to cut some communication wires that are around the cave. One of your squadmates will become your navigation target so you will need to follow him. As you go through into the cave tunnels you will have a bunch of enemies to kill here. After travelling through the cave, it will lead you to a bridge with some more enemies on the opposite side. Kill them off and then cross the bridge. The wire you need to cut will be high above on the right side of the cliff piece after crossing the bridge. After pressing the button assigned on your controller to cut the wire, you will then be given a new objective.
3. Mission Objective: Follow the soldier.
Simply enough you will need to follow the soldier you we're following with earlier and he will take you back to the starting point of the level. When you arrive back at the start, there will be some more enemies to kill in the arch section you killed previous enemies we're at the start of the level (nearby the crates). You will go down this route and then follow the soldier downhill to a lower part of the cave where some more enemies will be around, ready for you to kill.
4. Mission Objective: Clear the underground passage & Follow the soldier.
You will be in an open area full of barrels and crates and couple of defend points for the Japanese to use. Your objective here to kill every enemy in this location before you can move on with the soldier.
5. Mission Objective: Find the missing generator parts.
Shortly after completing the previous objective you will get a new one that will require you to find some missing generator parts. One of your squadmates will have a mark on your screen indicating that you need to be with him, so run round the area where your at until you find this soldier. He will then start to run along so you will once again need to keep up with him. You will get a handful of enemies to kill shortly after running up the wooden slope your on. You will then go right and down another dark slope that will take you more deeper into the cave with some more enemies about. Finally after battling through these slopes and tunnels you will get to another defending location where the enemies will have some turrets, defend points, crates, wooden slopes and other obstructions. When the area is cleared drop down and grab the item that's sitting around a crate.
6. Mission Objective: Repair the electricity generator.
You will need to use the items around this part to jump back up and into the cave where your squadmate will be waiting for you. When you reach him, he will start running again so keep behind him as usual as you return to the sarges location. You won't have any enemies as you travel back but your squad will be shooting enemies upon your return to the sarge, so help them out and get rid of any intruders. When the area is clear, approach the generator and press the button assigned on your controller to repair the generator.
7. Mission Objective: Eliminate the resistance at the hospital.
Your squad will start running through into a tight squeezed section of the cave and start shooting away at some enemies inside. Obviously you will need to follow them and kill the enemies around this tunnel part as well. After passing through the tunnel you will arrive at a open section with a Japan flag placed in the middle of the area your based in. This is the hospital part which the enemies used to replenish and recover from enemy attacks. You will need to kill all the enemies here until your next objective appears on your screen.
8. Mission Objective: Seize the command center.
There will be a large opened tunnel nearby the Japan flag and some enemies will start running in from this location. Your squad will also start running towards this tunnel as well so take out the enemies to avoid getting a lot of damage. Head through the tunnel and you will find another area which has a Japan flag and what looks like a command post. All you have to do is clear out the enemies in this location. When they are all dead and the sarge starts praising the squads, you will be awarded Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Level 10: Iwo Jima 3
1. Mission Objective: Get to the top of the mountain.
Straight to the point, your main objective on this mission is to just reach the top of the mountain so the American Flag can be placed atop, claiming victory on Iwo Jima and victory over the war. One last time you will be required to follow your squadmates. For a start they will run around the sandbag defense area at the start of the level and then head to a rocky section, where some enemies will be about. Deal with them and then you'll be given a new objective.
2. Mission Objective: Eliminate all machine gun nests & Get to the top of the mountain.
You should see some enemies straight down a hill that will use mounted guns to take you and your squad out. These defend points must be eliminated. You can either pick them off by shooting and taking cover around the rocks or barriers, or you can flush them out with a grenade.
There are 4 Machine Gun Nests in total and this will only be the first one. When all the enemies are killed, your squad will run right and continue onward to the next nest. There will be some rocks around where you are and a second nest will be on your right side. Once again use the rocks for cover or flush them out with grenades. Remember to clear out all the enemies for the game to register the nest being destroyed.
The next nest will be behind a set of rocks on the left not far from the previous nest you've just taken over. Watch out when taking over this one as some enemies will charge in from the right side of the nest. When this nest is destroyed you will need to run up the cliff piece on your right and kill any new enemies that are approaching your position. Use the rocks for covering points. When you run along this cliffpath, check the cliffs on your right for enemies that are trying to ambush and shoot you from above. You will reach a part where you can either go through an arched rockway or travel round on the left. Watch the left as some enemies will likely run round from this location.
Keep on travelling along the cliffpath with your squad and on your right you should find the last defending point with the machine gun nest. There will be minimal cover for you here, so the best method is to crouch around the hillside, then pick them off or throw grenades into the nest.
3. Mission Objective: Get to the top of the mountain.
Resume following your squad, go around the next corner and kill off the enemies located here. Keep on running around the cliffpath towards the rocky sections and kill any enemies you see. Always check your right for the upper cliff paths in case more enemies try to flank you or jump in and ambush. It is now just a matter of keeping up with your squad, killing any enemies you see around the cliff path and fighting to the top of the mountain.
When you finally reach what is known to be the top point of the mountain, you will be awarded a small cutscene where your squad will raise the American Flag, claiming victory and you will be awarded Mission Completed!
For completing the level on the hardest difficulty, you will be awarded with two achievements:
Additionally whatever method of choice you decided to do towards the difficulty, once you have completed this level you should also be given this achievement for completing the game on the hardest difficulty. If however you do not get this achievement, then I'm afraid to say that something's happened to the game which could be a fault, glitch, corruption or difficulty change error and you will have no choice but to replay the entire campaign from the beginning and attempt to complete it again on the hardest difficulty.
If you have followed the walkthrough up to this point, you should now have all 44 achievements in this game with total of 1000G Gamerscore. Well done and congratulations! We can now offically say as the game does Mission Completed! Or better yet... Game Completed!
Conclusion
Even though the game has a hard difficulty that requires you playthrough and complete, it is not as hard as other Shooters that are released on console to-date. With the fact that the campaign can be done in a short period of time and nearly all of the online achievements only require a partner/dummy to boost them, this game is considered to be an easy 1000G.
However as pre-warned the game itself is not enjoyable so I would only recommend this, if you want an easy completion, building up more gamerscore to your gamer-card. Or if you are trying to complete a collection of the History Channel Video-Games within your collection. If you have an opportunity to rent this game rather than buying it, I would also recommend this as well because of it being a quick completion.
Finally if you live in Europe or within the United Kingdom, this is a game that can be a profit picker due to it's rareity, in which if you buy it at a cheap price, you can sell it again for a higher price after use.
Thank you very much for reading and good luck in finding and completing this game.
