Crucifix Hill

Crucifix Hill is a mission in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

Walkthrough
The level starts with Sgt. Rogers, Sgt. Kelly and Cpl. Smith on a boat heading towards land. Then when they reach the land another Sergeant says "Watch that fire from the cemetery!" and gets killed by a Nebelwerf round. Sgt. Roger's team heads down to the cemetery and fights through it having to take out three Flak Vierlings. The first one is located in the first German infantry bunker towards the left, another outside it and the last on top of a lookout. Then Sgt. Roger's team assault the communictions bunker and sent back out on the trenches to assault the command bunker and destroy the three Nebelwerfers. Then with a debriefing by Lt. Hubert.

Tips
The best way to successfully execute the mission are to use weapons and tactics in the manner appropriate to the situation. As always, conserve SMG rounds for close action (the MP40 may be a better bet than the BAR in this regard as more MP40 rounds can be found as more dead Germans accumulate). To succeed, you must have a steady hand and recognize that your rifle is the weapon of choice; you also need to stay low, and keep advancing - spraying ammo with your BAR or MP40 an amatuer tactic that is too cheap to use effectively here. Thus, your primary weapons will be your rifle and whatever grenades you can muster. Since the most dangerous foes are nested many meters away, concealed by darkness, and protected by the earth-rattling shake of screaming mimi rounds, you must aim true, fire your rifle, sustain intervals, and always, always keep it on the move.

That said, inside the bunkers, and in close action in the trenches, you will need that SMG, but always be a ready rifleman, as key targets will almost always be in longer range - these tend to be more deadly too - MG-42 nests and well-positioned riflemen are there to kill or be killed - your rounds and those of the enemy can reach almost any location in which you might be. In short, the key to victory is in outgunning and outrunning the enemy. Conversely, the typical gamer mentaility of "Storm and strut" and/or "spray and pray" will get you sent back to checkpoints quickly. Relying on amateur (not to mention anachronistic) tactics and falling for the allure of SMG rate of fire will make this level drag on and on.

The rifle is often misunderstood and used with poor tactical coordination with the SMG - and in this round it may be most costly to the philistine.
