Hard Landing (campaign)

Introduction
At the start of the mission, the player is treading through a swamp, in order to out-flank most of the Japanese defense. They come across a downed airplane, and a Marine notices it is a booby trap, and the plane blows up, killing the Marines near it. After the explosions, the Marines are subject to yet another ambush. If he gets too close, the player might need to fend off some banzai chargers. After dispersing yet more enemies, the player is out of the swamp and is faced with trenches and turrets. After clearing these out, there is yet another machine gun nest. A soldier with a M2 Flamethrower runs up and goes prone behind an earth mound, but the player need not follow him. When he gets up, he is shot and the player is told to retrieve the flamethrower. He then proceeds to burn the turret. The group of Marines then moves down a road, and is faced with a large Japanese stronghold. The player is then told to pick up an M1 Garand with an attached grenade launcher. After clearing out the building, the player proceeeds to help out some tanks that are trying to enter an enemy airfield. After covering the tanks, he must clear out the main building and nearby trenches. Once he kills the soldiers manning anti-aircraft guns, a whole load of enemy reinforcements arrive. As soon as a tank threatens them, the player is told to man an AA gun, and destroy the tank. When it is destroyed, the mission ends.

Gameplay Tips

 * DON'T RELY ENTIRELY ON THE FLAMETHROWER!!!!!!! It will overheat and cannot be used at long range situations, but as this might be your first experience with a flamethrower, you might just want to ;)[[Image:Flamethrower_5.png|thumb|326px|The [[M2 Flamethrower]]]]


 * The flamethrower will overheat, use it sparingly.


 * When using the M1 Garand w/grenade launcher, go back to the truck to pick up more rifle grenades.


 * The tanks can run you over if you walk in front of them.

Trivia

 * When the Marine with the flamethrower is behind the mound, go close to him (remember to go prone!) and watch his head, it moves around in a weird way. Also, when he is shot, he falls to the ground in a strange fashion.


 * There is an achievement that can be unlocked if you complete a level using only the M2 Flamethrower, but explosives and knives are allowed. By all means use this level to do this, just use the knife and explosives until you get the flamethrower, and when you are told to use rifle grenades, you can, as they are explosives.
