This trick requires two players. Go to the building with the MG 42. This is the building that is not destroyed. Have one player jump on top of the MG 42. Have the other player start jumping behind him. The player on the MG 42 must face out the window. When the jumping player is in mid-air, have the other player get on the MG 42. He should be invisible but still able to shoot the turret. He will be almost invincible, requiring two or three grenades directly on him to kill him. Remember that it only works if the player is directly on top of the MG 42.
Burgundy, France: Sniping location
Go where the turret is in the building that is not blown up. Climb on the ledge of the turret. Look to the right and hug the wall tightly while moving forward. Once you go a very short distance onto the invisible ledge next to the shutter, run
and jump onto the roof ledge in front of you. Look to the right and jump through the shutters. You will be in a room where you can see out from, but other people cannot see you. Note: You must climb on the window ledge a certain distance to shoot out and throw grenades.
Capture Hill 400 mission: Recommended weapon
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.
Completing Veteran mode
In Veteran mode, your life expectancy is cut 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, so 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.
D-Day: Get under the map
At the first level when you get off the boat at the start, get to the rope at the top. Go to Sgt. Randall. You will be next to a fake gun. Go up to it. There is a location where floor goes into an angle. Lie down and you should go though it. Move forward until you fall down under the map.
Determining grenade danger
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.
Determining if enemies are still alive
Even after 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 again. Do not give the enemy the chance to shoot you from behind while he regains consciousness.
Dont kill your own men
Or you will start over at the last check point you stopped at(its like dieing).
Easy achievements
To unlock all the achievements at once, successfully complete the game under the Veteran difficulty setting.
Enemies Guns
When you start a mission always go for the enemies guns when you see any lying around, they are normally better than the ones you start of with and there will be plenty of ammo around from dead enemies.
Grenades
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.
Helpful tips for single player
The easest way to beat CoD2 is to go through each difficulty. It will be ten times easier to beat it on veteran mode.
Smoke is HELPFUL.
Use the sniper and a machine gun will be your best chioce throughout the game!
Hint: Reload
Before turning a corner, make sure you reload, just incase theres a few germans.
Infinite ammo
You will first need to find the gun for which you would like unlimited ammunition. This trick will only work for one type of gun. After you have chosen a gun, find the exact gun on an ally or enemy, then kill him. After he is dead, his gun will appear on the ground. When walking over the gun it will say you have received that weapon's ammunition. If you have full ammunition, waste a few shots then pick up another of that same gun. However, this time the gun will stay on the ground. You can keep walking over the same gun on the ground repeatedly for more ammunition each time.
Kalach, Russia: Leave level boundary
This trick requires a partner. Create an online team deathmatch game and set friendly fire on reflected damage. Start the game and have both players go into the room all the way in the southwest corner. There should be a furnace and some boxes in the corner. Have one player jump on the very top of the boxes. The other player should stand in the same room but not close to the other person. Have the player standing on the boxes throw a grenade at the other person and try to jump at the same time the grenade goes off. That player should try to jump on to the thin piece off wood above the window to their right. If successful, then jump from the window to the wooden planks on the roof. Next, carefully walk over the planks and around the edges until you get about directly above where you started. Then, jump to the
outside of the level. This may require several attempts.
Kill requirements
Head shots are instant kills. Body shots require two or more shots for a kill.
Level select

Matmata, Tunisia: Sniping location
There is a dome with a ladder next to it. Climb up to get onto the ledge. This trick requires two players and you must be able to talk to each other. Have a player climb on the ladder as far up as they can without taking their gun out and
walking off. Then, have the other player climb up the ladder. As the player climbing up the ladder hits the person at the top, have both players press Left Analog-stick Up and look at the dome with the other Analog-stick. You should keep going up until you fall onto the roof part or inside the dome. Note: To go up high enough to get inside the dome, this action needs to be timed perfectly. It is very difficult and time consuming if not done properly Once in the dome, you cannot be shot unless you step outside. You can shoot out and grenades cannot hit you.
Mission select screen reset
Use the following steps if you went through the game then returned to do your Veteran achievements and the game reset your mission select screen. Enable the Level select code and choose the missions that you have not done yet for the veteran achievements. You will not be penalized for using the code. However, you must re-complete the missions you already have the achievements for to get the "War Hardened" achievement.
Moscow, Russia: Get under the map
Two players are required for this trick. In online mode, go to the back of the map past the blown up building near
the middle. There is a raised platform against the wall. There is a ladder on the side of here. It is easy to find as it is the
only place in the map with a ladder. Get two people to get to this ladder. Have one person go up the ladder as far as possible without drawing his weapon and look straight up to the sky. Then, have the other person walk up the ladder below them, looking up. Say go or something else as soon as they hit the person above and keep going. As soon as the player on top hears this, he should go at the same time. This normally requires a few attempts. If done correctly, you will continue going past the ladder, into the sky. This depends on how well and accurately you do it. As soon as the sky turns completely white (because you should be looking up), move to the right until you fall. If done correctly, you will land on the roof of the building. Once here, you can jump onto the adjacent roof to the north, over the small wall. Once on this roof, continue going down the roof slowly. Once you get to the edge you should be able to see some boxes below, like the little alcoves above the platform with the ladder. Aim for one of these and you should land in it. Once done, jump into the boxes on the other side one down each time. Do this to gradually make your way down. Once you get to the floor, look to the east. You can clearly see a big rip in the map. Go straight down here and out the back of the map. Make sure you do not go out of the shadowed area or you will fall off the map and have to start again. When you have gotten out here, make sure you do not try and get into the map until you have followed this part: move south, without going past the shadowed area and without going near the buildings. When you get to the corner where the buildings stop, turn west. Keep going west until you get to a turn in between some buildings. It is easy to see as there are lots of windows visible, and there is a gateway in the corner which should be to your north. Go down here then go straight through the doorway. Once you have made it through, you can go absolutely anywhere under the map. You can shoot people and can throw grenades at them. They cannot see or shoot you. As long as you do not go out of the shadowed area and do not waste ammunition, you can continue to play down there.
Multi-player mode host
This trick requires two players in multi-player mode. Have player one go to system link and create a game on Call
Of Duty 2. Choose a level and set the times (30, 45, or 60 minutes) and other parameters. Remain at the screen and do not start the game. Have player two start a different game, such as Perfect Dark Zero or an arcade game (so you do not have to change discs). Then, have player two invite player one to his game. Have player one accepts the invite, but when prompted to log out select No. You should now be the host of the game and it will be set to the way you want it.
Multi-player sniper rifle reload
When everyone has a sniper rifle, use that same gun. When you are killed, view the replay of your death. When they
shoot, directly after that, respawn. Your player should now be reloading.
Negative number of grenades
When playing online, have one grenade. Hold it in your hand and release it. When you release it, hold Down and
it should say that you have 0 grenades remaining. Now every time you want to throw a grenade, press Throw. When you throw, press Down and your grenade count should be a negative number.
Recommended weapons
When you find a Kak 98, pick it up. 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 second bunker in the building.
The most common bolt-action rifle is one of the best weapons for small groups of enemies. It may be a bolt-action, but it is a one-hit kill almost all the time. Make sure to keep an automatic for the slow reload.
Smoke grenades provide instant concealment. They are very useful for getting close to tanks on the Russian front.
SMGs work best at close range. The PPSH 42 is recommended.
Rifles are useful at short to medium range. The best ones are the SVT40 and Gheher because they are semiautomatic.
Sniper rifles are very useful for picking off machine gunners before they can get set up. The Gheher sniper rifle is recommended because it is semiautomatic.
Red Army Training: Mad Commissar
After you get your guns the Commissar will tell you to shoot the teddy bear. Do not shoot the bear. Instead, shoot the bottles and plates. He will get very mad. After you shoot about four or five of the bottles or plates he will pull out a pistol and kill you.
Select mission
At the mission selection screen, hold LB + RB and quickly press Left(2), Right(2), Y(2).
Shot compass
When you get shot a red arrow will point to the shooter that shot you, just turn so the compass will be looking north and thats were the gunner will be.
St. Mere Eglise, France: Go through window
In the cemetery there is a hut. In the hut are some boxes. Jump on the low box next to the window, then jump towards
the window facing the wall. As you are about to hit the window, crouch and you can go out the window. You can shoot from that side of the hut. There is also a tractor there. You can jump up the front of the tractor then jump on to the roof of the hut. This is a very good sniping location, but you can be shot if spotted.
Stalingrad, Russia, Get on top of farm
Go to the brick building with three windows. Go through the broken wall to the last window. Jump up on the window and turn around, then throw a grenade close to your feet. Wait a few seconds before jumping. If done correctly, you can get to the snow covered barn house. This may take a few attempts. Preferably, use a sniper rifle because of three grenades.
Unlimited ammunition
You will first need to find the gun for which you would like unlimited ammunition. This trick works for only one type of gun. After you have chosen a gun, find the exact gun on an ally or enemy, then kill him. After he is dead, his gun will appear on the ground. When walking over the gun it will say you have received that weapon's ammunition. If you have full ammunition, waste a few shots then pick up another of that same gun. However, this time the gun will stay on the ground. You can keep walking over the same gun on the ground repeatedly for more ammunition each time.
Unlimited ammunition
Press Left(3), Right, Left, Right, Y(2) at the main menu.
Veteran mode
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.
When playing on the Veteran difficulty in campaign mode, always take cover. When ever you reload or get hurt badly always go prone or get behind a wall. Also, use your smoke grenades wisely. You will need them to get past certain parts of the game; for example, when clearing houses or getting past turrets.
