Call of Duty: Finest Hour Hints VII (PS2)

Call of Duty: Finest Hour is a video game developed by Spark Unlimited and released by Activision Publishing. It was created for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, the Game Cube and the Xbox from Microsoft. It is classed as a war shooter played from a third person perspective with sequences in first person view. There is a strong historical aspect evident in the game, with several real world battles simulated.

The Call of Duty series was initially released on the PC and the way it managed to capture the feel of war while delivering competent first person shooter gameplay impressed critics and gamers. The series was a success and console versions were quickly planned. Call of Duty: Finest Hour is the first in the series to be released on gaming devices.

There are three different fronts of the World War II that are simulated in the game and the story is told from the point of view of three different soldiers, a British, an American and a Russian. You have to play through each section of the game in succession, as a new mission is unlocked only once you complete the one before it. The game is heavily scripted, with some of the larger operations depicted in minute details and with the player often being relegated to a minor role on the battlefield as the great clash happens all around him. The production values of the title are very high, with great music and brilliant voice acting.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Surrender At Aachen: Teddy bear

In Surrender At Aachen, go through the door and kill the four Nazis. Go to the area straight from the door that you came through. There will be a MP-40 and a teddy bear here. Pick up the teddy bear and you will receive health and a message stating "The Bear is adorable".

Tractor Factory: Easy completion

When you get up to the sniping area, crouch down in the window. There will be some ammunition and health in the corner if needed. Get it if desired, then snipe the first wave of soldiers with normal guns. When your "comrades" say that there are Panzershrecks, concentrate all of your fire there. Do not worry about the regular soldiers because they cannot aim well. Shoot the Panzershrecks until you see a man running up the road with a heavy machine gun. Shoot him then go to the left window and continue.

Underground Passage: Creepy room

On the "Underground Passage" level, the second American mission, go down the spiral stairs and go through the door on the right. Clear out that room of Nazis and the next one past it. Then, go back to the middle room and clear it out again. Go to the walkway that has a field pack and a door. Throw two grenades at the door then go up to it and press Action. Note: You will not see an "Action" icon, but it does not work unless that button is pressed. Then, throw one more grenade at the door. It helps to throw it at the wall next to it so that it lands at the base of the door. This will blow it open. Go down that passageway to find the "creepy" room that contains a ghost baby in a crib, floating candles, a giant rat, a teddy bear, a "sticky" bear, a flushable toilet, a MG40, and a Browning .30.
