View Full Version : stuck in cod2!
welp, im @ the top of this big building, guarding this city
iv spent hours trying to do this, but i cant seem to call in artillery (lookin through binocs and pressing F) when i do that, nothin happens
iv tried everything to kill the germans w/no luck :p
the walkthroughs say artillers is supposed to rain from the sky..but it aint happenin for me!
I finished the game a while back, but I'm pretty sure I know where you are - you have to artillery the tanks that are coming in, the objective meter shows where they are.
ya it does..but i cant hit em w/the artillery!

well you are pretty screwed without arty in that situation... maybe try getting ontop of a different building.
Also does it say anything like "give me a good target" or something along the lines of "we're to close to the arty"?

Are there any other guys with you on top of the roof? When I was on that level there were a few other guys on top of the roof with me, I basically lag shot at the tanks with the arty, and waited for some to stop. While at the same time trying to use arty to take out the mass number of people rushing at the city :)
You have to aim in front of the tanks to hit them, becuase they will move as soon as that flare comes down for the arty strike.

AKA Lag shooting, I don't hear the term much anymore but it was used quite a bit with MW4.

guys remember his problem is not aiming the arty its getting it to shoot in the first place.
You might have to unistall and reinstall the game :(
i ended up re-starting that part of the mission and all went well ^^
ok, rather than starting a new thread, can i ask also for help in a different area?
the escape scene (british level) where you're going thru lots of alleys, shooting the big gun at tanks and rocket launching dudes. the part when the vehicles stalls, there is 2 dudes on top of building. have to kill them both. then 2 more guys on ground, plus tank. no matter what, i always get killed. the quickest i can do is kill 2 guys on roof, plus one on ground (all one-hit kills) yet still the tank and/or other guy on ground fires a rocket and i'm dead.
wtf?
help? what guys do you shoot at, and in which order? using vehicle gun or your own machine gun?
thanx in advance.

Ok, stand against the sunny wall, so the guys on top of it cant shoot you, and take out the guys on the shadow wall first, then then hide behind the rubble of the vehicles and pick off the guys on the sunny wall. After that have one hell of a time trying to beat that level, its a little insane, you will see why real soon, lol./
oh, that level is already plenty insane. LOL
i love the game up to that point, but i almost feel like using a cheat to skip that level. i'll try your suggestion first.

I am experiencing the same problem you are. It is not the first time either. Twice(2 different missions) on the russian campaign, the objective was marked but missing. I had to restart the level both times to get around the bug. Most likely, a restart will be needed again at this tank/artillery mission.
I am dissapointed in this game overall, and feel that games like HL2, FarCry blow it out of the water, especially visually.

yeah, to me, it feels like just another expansion pack to CoD, only with 'enhanced textures'. nothing really revolutionary new, other than prettier buildings, smoke/snow/rain effects, and tweaked gameplay like improved scope and smoke grenades, as well as some worse gameplay (can't cook grenades anymore).
in fact, play it with medium texture level, and it looks exactly like CoD1.
overall, i love it because any and all expansions to CoD franchise are a plus in my books, but i'm also disapointed because i heard rumours about 'wide open levels with many strategic options', 'driveable vehicles', 'super smart AI', but other than a few levels (like Russia's trainyard), most other levels are on rails forcing only one way to go, driveable vehicles are nowhere ala Battlefield style, and super smart AI just means they duck, then stand up to shoot, then duck, then stand up to shoot. and so many 'trigger' points in levels, where ambush occur only after you pass a certain point.
and the health system, part of me likes it, part of me hates it. is it better than collecting health kits? i think so. does it make it too easy? yes, you can get hit, and then just hide to reguvante. best FPS health system IMO is MoH: Pacific Assault. you have a medic with your squad, and you can call on him 3 or 4 times max per level, and he heals you to full. but ONLY if you are in a position where he can help you. me wonders why other squad-based FPS games don't follow that route. it really works well in that game.

I agree MOH has made the health system very good.
I dont agree with the graphics being bad, they look exactly the same as COD1 with Directx 7 on, but when you have 9 on you have all the lights and stuff it looks much better.
i dont think the graphics are bad. but it feels just like a prettied-up version of the same engine used in CoD1. i guess some of us were hoping for an entire new engine, kinda like Half Life 2 or FEAR.

Yeah but why change it that much when the original was so good, i really enjoyed the game just wished i could play it with directx 9.

Flairs are supposed to drop on target when doing that function. Have your switched the use key?
