Nobody Makes It Alone
Success in Call of Duty™ United Offensive™ relies on a well-coordinated and cooperative
squad. Your squad mates help fight the enemy by providing cover fire and helping to eliminate threats.
Above all, listen to your squad leader! Do exactly what he says and you'll stay alive.
Know When to Be the Hero
The soldier who runs into the thick of battle guns ablazing often winds up dead. Although you'll
often be called upon to make split-second decisions, a level-headed and patient warrior is the one who
returns home to his family. Remember that a deadly threat could be looming behind any corner, wall,
window or rock. Stay alert, move deliberately and don't try anything stupid.
Use Cover
Every battle environment you encounter will have a range of available locations to keep out of sight
and out of the path of whizzing bullets. Crouch and crawl behind solid cover as much as possible; you
never know when new threats will spot you, and be confident that Gerry will not hesitate to shoot you
down in your tracks.
Stay Mobile
Think you found a good spot for cover? That may change in a matter of seconds. Although pausing to
regroup, assess threats, reload weapons or replenish health is always necessary, don't stay in one
location for too long. You never know when the enemy may discover you and compromise what you thought
was a safe location. If you hear artillery or mortar fire in the distance, by all means stay mobile.
You may not survive if a stray shell lands near you.
Be Thorough
Clear buildings and combat areas with a meticulous and thorough search. Enemies may lie in silence,
waiting for you or your squad to let your guard down. Its a good idea to look around behind you
occasionally as you move across the map to prevent the enemy from flanking you and catching you by
surprise.
Reloading
Always reload your weapon after a firefight. This enables you to be as prepared as possible for the
next engagement you face. Another enemy could be just around the corner, and entering a conflict with
low or no ammunition in your weapon could cost you your life.
Leaning
When progressing through combat areas, use the Lean commands to enable you to peer around walls,
doors, windows or other obstacles. You'll be harder to see and harder to shoot should enemies be on
the other side. You can also lean around obstacles to fire on the enemy, getting the jump on your
targets and suppressing threats as quickly and safely as possible.
Stance
Be mindful of your stance at all times. Soldiers that walk tall on the battlefield often find themselves
coming home in a box. Crouching and lying prone keeps your profile low, making you harder to see and more
importantly, harder to shoot.
Sprinting
Master the ability to sprint from cover point to cover point. Practice crouching behind cover, standing up,
sprinting to another cover point then quickly crouching or lying prone. Enemies may fire at you, but your speed
makes it difficult for them to target and hit you. This ability is indispensable in all parts of Call of Duty™
United Offensive™, and an absolute necessity in Multiplayer games.
Multiplayer vehicles
All vehicles other than the heavy tanks allow more than one player to ride at a time. Medium tanks have the
driver/main gunner position position as well as a machine gunner position. Heavy tanks have only the driver/main
gunner position, but these tanks have superior firepower. Jeeps have a driver, a passenger (who can fire their
own weapon) and a .50 cal gunner position, making them a triple threat! As much as possible, jump in a tank or
jeep with a team-mate and man the extra weapons. Together you will be more effective than on your own.
