Baptism By Fire

Baptism By Fire is a level in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

The level opens in a halftrack with Bloomfield and Denly having one of their classic arguments. After the gunner gets killed start shooting at anything that moves. After a while you will reach the rally point, Dismount from the halftrack and grab the French rifle and as much ammo as possible. If you need it grab a healthkit. After Hawk takes Denley and goes over the fence take cover because several Vichy French will be inside and you will need to kill them, After you do you can take the enemy sub-machine gun if you want but ammo is scarce. After the door is open kill the guys that are inside you will be able to flank the French Machine gun in order to clear the way for the squads. Then, get down behind the table while Bloomfield opens the door revealing an armory of weapons. Afterwards clear out the hangars choosing either the higher or lower path, higher is easier. Kill all the enemies on the walkways first and then support your squad from the rafters afterwards go through the room with the crashed Atuka and pull out a grenade in the officers corridor and finish clearing out the hangar grab the Scoped Kar98k and kill all the enemies on the Flakvierling and then go down stairs and run over to the Flakvierling and mount on it and shoot down the passing Stukas afterwards the mission is complete.
