Capture Hill 400 mission:
-------------------------
Pick up the scoped Gheher43 from the first bunker that you blow down the door to. Swap it for your Garand. It is very helpful. Every bunker has one so you do not have to worry about ammunition.
---------------------------------------
Even if you shoot the enemy, he may still be alive. Make sure to aim your crosshairs at him and see if it turns red. If it does, it indicates that the enemy is still alive, and you must shoot him down more. Do not give the enemy the chance to shoot you from behind while he regains consciousness.
Multiplayer Gameplay:
---------------------
Well always select german army when u are in multiplayer mode,preferably .
Select the MP44 gun ,and when u see a player at a distance,zoom in the gun aim at his upper body and hit,u will get kills ina n easier better way,whatever the distance be.The aiming of the gun is very much perfect,and can get enemies from distance,even if when they are behind bushes at a distance.The gun has 30 shots per magazine.In case u have to select american or british,for the latter choose bren LMG and it ha s also almost the same accuracy level and ease with which u can aim (right click by default) at the enemy and kill.American grease gun can help a bit,but MP44 is the best,even better thn sniper ,as the Sniper is tough to handle and slow.
When some on is just in front of you at a fair distance suddenly prone and aim and hit,it will give you ample scope.
--------------------
Whenever you have the chance, pick up a Kak 98. It is one of the most powerful guns in the game. There is a scoped-Kak 98 in the last level (Dragon's Teeth) in the 2 bunker in the building.
-------------------------

Veteran mode cuts life expectancy to three or four shots until you die. However,Veteran mode does not improve the enemy's aim or strategy. Use small blocks or small bulges of hills as cover and crawl. Because you do not get points for kills, do not take the Nazis head on. Let your allies lay some fire, if there are any. If not, throw a smoke grenade and shift between crouch and crawl positions, laying cover fire and stall some time for the smoke grenade to spread before the Nazis rush in. Use this smoke cover to fall back to the nearest safe position where you can regroup or hide and pick the Nazis off from afar.

General Hints:
--------------
1 - Smoke gernades provide instant concealment. They are very useful for geting close to tanks on the russian front comrade.
2 - SMG'S. Very fun to use. They work best at close range my favorite is the ppsh 42.
3 - Rifles. Prety uselful at short to medium range the best are the svt40 and gwher becuse they are semiauto.
4 - Sniper Rifles. My favorite weapon in the game very good for picking of enmeys espicialy machine gunners before they can get setup My favorite is the gwher sniper rifle becuse it is semi auto.
---------
The grenade indicator is useful, however, you do not have to run away from it every time. If the indicator points that a grenade has landed near you, but you are taking cover behind a wall, you do not need to run away. Instead, the grenade will explode and not damage you at all.
Kill types:
-----------
Head shots are instant kills. Body shots require two or more shots for a kill.
---------------------------------
Fortunately, CoD2 is fully scalable to run on a variety of PC's. Here is a list of optimizations for those with less powerful or older PC's:
Make sure these options are present:
resolution 640x480
refresh rate 60hz
sync every frame on
smooth mouse on
anti-aliasing off
filtering bilinear
other graphics settings; default
If you still have issues with low performance or chop, check your hdd free space available. You want at least 15% available freespace as most machines are configured
to use around 10% of free space for file swapping, and the game itself will use some free space as well. If you have less than 15% you will almost certainly experience a drop in performance. Furthermore, go to start-all programs-accessories-system tools disk defragmenter. Select the relevant drive and click analyze. Once the analyze is done, view report. If your file fragmentation is 20% or greater, you should defrag the drive. Once all of this is completed, you should have a very smooth running game even on much older systems. I installed this game on an older PC and at first it was almost unplayable, but after changing to the settings mentioned and then doing the system maintenance as suggested, the game runs beautifully.
