Burn 'em Out

"The enemy's dug in deep and we have to get our hands dirty. Flamethrowers. We'll burn em out"

- Sgt Roebuck

Burn 'em Out is the sixth single-player level in Call of Duty: World at War. After two missions played as Private Dimitri Petrenko, the player is back in the Pacific theater, along with Private Miller. In this mission, the player must wipe out three Japanese mortar pits so friendly tanks can advance.

Walkthrough
The player will begin with two guns, the M1 Garand and the M2 Flamethrower, but he will take out the flamethrower. He is being pinned down by a turret in a small hut, so the player is told to throw a smoke grenade. Once the player is covered by the smoke, he will advance with his squad. He will then proceed to wipe out one mortar pit, that is down the path in front of him. Once the pit is toast (literally), he will proceed to destroy the second pit. He will retrace his steps out of the pit and down the small path, and then take the other path. There will be resistance for him to face. After this pit is toast (again, literally), he will proceed to destroy the third pit, which has a bit more enemies for him to face. Once that pit is toast (yet again, literally), the squad will regroup in the pit and the mission will end.

Gameplay Tips

 * Use nothing but the flamethrower the whole way through for your Firestarter Achievement/Trophy. If it overheats, run around and use the knife on all enemies. However, it is not advisable to do this on Hardened or Veteran


 * Near the beginning, there will be a crate. There will be a Thompson leaning against it, and almost straight ahead of the turret will be a M1A1 Carbine and BAR.

Trivia

 * On Co-Op, only the host will have the M2 Flamethrower, all other players will have a Thompson instead.
 * The last Mortar Pit is the hardest as there are many enemies all armed with Type 99 machine guns, many Xbox players get their Purple Heart Achievement (die ten times in a single level) at this part of the level.
 * Its similar to the film Windtalkers
