Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
>>>Campaign Mode<<<
This is a walkthrough for Battlefiled 2: Modern Combat for the Xbox 360. So far, it covers all of the single-player campaign mode; online hits are coming shortly! The walkthrough has some separate bullet points with hints on how to get medals easily; all the others are key steps to completing each mission.
If you find this guide useful, consider talking to me on Xbox Live. My gamertag is MoMan2.
Mission 1: In and Out
Side: USA
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: Moderately Short
[First mission; self-explanatory]
----------------------------------------
Mission 2: Radio Silence
Side: USA
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: Moderately Short
Easy Medals: Army Cross
[Defend three sites for a set amount of time, and extract at a given point]

----------------------------------------
Mission 3: Headshot
Side: USA
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Duration: Moderate
Easy Medals: Marksman
[Take out enemy snipers as they paradrop in]
-Shoot accurately and quickly; get enemies in the air if you can; use hotswapping to your advantage.
----------------------------------------
Mission 4: Submerged
Side: China
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Duration: Long
Easy Medals: Navy Cross, Expert Engineer, Expert Assault
-Use the engineer to take out over 10 enemies in a row for the medal in the first part.
-After blowing up both bunkers, proceed to the sub pen and run quickly to the first sub to place a charge
-Get out and stand by the initial entrance to the first pen. Shoot 10+ enemies easily for the medal, and use the scope on the assault rifle.
-Hotswap to an engineer and drive a car over to the docks, occasionally manning the 30cal and taking out enemies. Repair the car as needed; it will greatly decrease losses. Once all enemies are down, get out and swim to both subs to blow them up.
----------------------------------------
Mission 5: Metal Island
Side: China
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Duration: Moderate
[Protect an island and an oil rig]
-Shoot enemies in the air and use your rocket launchers to take down boats and helicopters.
----------------------------------------
Mission 6: Heavy Tonnage
Side: China
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: Short
[Attack and sink an enemy tanker ship]
-Take out several enemies on the ship first for points, then hotswap to a troop on the ship and place your charges. Once all have detonated, hotswap to a helicopter and shoot rockets into the bays to sink the ship.
----------------------------------------
Mission 7: Air Traffic Control
Side: USA
Difficulty: Moderate
Duration: Moderately Long
[Recapture the NATO air base]
-First, laser target the helicopter and snipe a few enemies. Then, hotswap to a Humvee and man the turret. Stay in there until you have destroyed several vehicles. Once objectives are updates, start hotswapping and look for targets. Some may be hiding, so watch out.
----------------------------------------
Mission 8: Catching Flak
Side: USA
Difficulty: Moderate
Duration: Moderately Long
[First, take out enemies in 4 sites, then come in and conduct recon by hovering the special helicopter.]
-Hotswap to the attack helicopters and/or snipers to clear enemies at each site FIRST, then conduct the recon. You only have one recon helicopter, so watch out
-The use of the above strategy is crucial in this mission! You can't beat it without it.
----------------------------------------
Mission 9: Rolling Thunder
Side: USA
Difficulty: Moderate
Duration: Moderate
Easy Medals: Mechanic
[Defend your air base from enemy armor]
-To get the mechanic medal, get out of each damaged tank after hotswapping to it and repair it. After 5 repairs, you will get the medal.
-You get many allied tanks in this mission, so deaths shouldn't be a problem. Just take out the enemy tanks as effectively as possible and you will win easily.
----------------------------------------
Mission 10: Burning Bridges
Side: USA
Difficulty: Moderate
Duration: Moderate
Easy Medals: Expert Special Ops, Sapper
Tough Medals: Expert Sniper
[Place four C4 charges on a bridge to blow it up]
-For the expert special ops medal, first hotswap to the Sniper to take down the chopper and a few guys, then immediately hotswap to the special ops unit near the mounted gun in the open. Shoot at the enemies, and get a 2x or 3x multiplier. Once done, charge to the second C4 spot by the bus on the bridge, and take down enemies one by one. Keep moving, and with the huge multiplier, you will not die, but you will get the medal.
-Expert sniper is possible to get from the sniper you hotswap to at the start, but it is very difficult to obtain. Perfect accuracy is integral.
-The sapper medal can be obtained by killing 20 total enemies with C4- there is a glitch in the game that carries the kill count over from game to game, so as long as you restart on this level, the count will add up. For example: 5+7+3+5=20=medal after 4 mission attempts.
-Strategy here is key as well. When you start, immediately hotswap to the sniper and laser target the enemy helicopter. Once that's done, take down as many enemies as possible. After that, move in with your support troops and take out the enemies, which should no longer pose much of a thread. Man the fixed 30cal gun if needed.
-After all enemies are cleared, proceed to the bridge. The first 2 charges are easy; just advance and take all enemies out. For the last 2, you'll need to take more cover and to hotswap/use fixed guns. Place all the charges and you win the mission.

Mission 11: Beach Party
Side: China
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Duration: Short
Easy Medals: Expert Support, Expert Use of Mortar, Medic
[Attack a hill; your troops approach from the sea]
-For expert support, charge into the bunker trench and take out the guys. Go on to the second trench and take them all out: you will get the medal
-For medic, just heal yourself. You are allowed to hotswap between support troops..
-For expert use of mortar, call in for some fire into the trench.
-Call in mortar or snipe enemy gunners. You can also charge into the bunker trench.
-Use support troops in standard combat and use the auto injector to heal yourself!
-Use engineer rockets to take down troublesome gunners in the bunkers and/or the tanks.
-Once both tanks are destroyed, you win. This is a very quick and easy mission, although it is hard to get 10 stars...
----------------------------------------
Mission 12: Big Bang
Side: China
Difficulty: Moderate
Duration: Moderate
[Conduct a strike on a factory]
-Rush for the first 2-3 charges, then settle in and take out all enemies. Once they are down, climb up to the remaining charge locations and escape when they are all placed.

Mission 13: Hotel Alpha
Side: USA
Difficulty: Moderately Hard
Duration: Moderate
Easy Medals: Grenadier, Commando
[Get recon from 5 locations from a car, then return to base]
-To get the commando medal, drive over to the enemy foot soldiers at the beginning of the mission and knife them- the AI is weak and you will get this medal quickly.
-Get to the first 4 sites and take out the enemies at each easily with the grenade launcher in the car. One has a tank, so watch it; you will eventually get a medal.
-You'll have to get out of the car for site 3.
-You'll need to finish with 3-4 minutes left so you can recon the 5th site too, then you'll need to return safely to base. Enemy choppers will be attacking.
----------------------------------------
Mission 14: Top Man
Side: USA
Difficulty: Hard
Duration: Moderately Long
Easy Medals: Air Force Cross
[Fly in a helicopter to the LZ, clear it, then proceed to the 6 marked sites and take out the enemy chopper at the end]
-Fly low and take out the first SAM as you fly over it at the mountain. Once you reach the LZ, take out all of the cars quickly from a low altitude. If you fly at too high of an altitude, you will be shot down by SAM's and AAA. Once the LZ is clear, get out of the chopper and proceed to the 6 marked sites.
-Have one troop jump out of the helicopter and find the enemies in the ruins. Hotswap to the helicopter and take them out, and proceed up the hill, taking out enemies.
-You will get reinforcements. Push on until you get the communications-base objective. Then, shoot the antenna and it will fall to make a bridge. This activates the last objective; destroy the escaping helicopter with a GTAM or laser target and you win!
----------------------------------------
Mission 15: DMZ
Side: China
Difficulty: Hard
Duration: Long
[Clear three villages of enemies, mostly with snipers and assault troops]
-At the first village, once your sniper round is over, mount the center 30cal guns and take out enemies: you will get a huge multiplier.
-At the second village, use your grenades at the start then take out the enemy with assault. As soon as you can, man the grenade launcher to the left and take out the 10 approaching enemies with it. Again, this gives a huge multiplier.
-Get away from the gun and move quickly toward the next spot. Take out ALL the enemies with a single unit (maybe 2) because of the 5 multipliers you have. They give you more firepower, more armor, faster shooting rate, and faster reload!
-At the third village, just GTAM or laser target all of the helicopters. The AI should take care of the ground vehicles.
----------------------------------------
Mission 16: End of the Line
Side: China
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Duration: Moderately Short
[Defend the Chinese base]
-Just take out all of the enemies with assault. Move as you shoot; you shouldn't die more than 2 times. Take out the cars with the assault rifle and the helicopters with the fixed guns. The mission time limit is 6 minutes, but I had all enemies down in half that time, so I just had to wait...
-Next, take out the train from assault positions.
I will be fixing up spelling and grammar as time goes by; I will also add a full achievement list and a complete guide once I finish the game. Enjoy what you have for now, though!
----------------------------------------
Mission 17 and 18: End Game
Side: China or NATO
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Duration: Moderately Long
[Defeat the enemy troops and complete the designated objectives]
Chinese mission: rush for the generator, then take out troops with your light tank, and maybe some enemy tanks. Take the rest down with rockets, and the helicopter down with fire and maybe one rocket, and you win! Easy.
----------------------------------------
Mission 19 and 20: final missions! (after winning each, you get a ribbon)
Side: China or NATO
Difficulty: Hard
Duration: Moderately Long
[Destroy two missile silos, a bunker, and the enemy general]
-I have yet to beat these missions; they are very hard, especially because there is a time limit. My only advice is to keep trying! I've tried 6 or 7 times, and I've gotten closer and closer to completing each objective.
