INTRODUCTION

In war, no one fights alone. From the fields of France to the Volga River—from the smallest squads dropped behind enemy lines, to the massive divisions that won the war on multiple fronts—the soldiers of the Allied Forces stopped the German Army by standing and fighting together, side by side.

In Call of Duty™, you get to fight alongside your brothers-in-arms as history comes alive. In momentous battles from D-Day to Stalingrad, you’ll find yourself in incredibly real terrain, caught in breathtaking life and death combat. You’ll fight as American and British paratroopers and as a young Russian soldier conscripted into the Soviet Army. Whether cut off in a village in Normandy, battling to re-take Red Square, boarding and sinking a German battleship, speeding down German-held roads or rescuing Allied officers from a German stronghold, the dangers are more than any one soldier can overcome. To make it through, you’ll need your buddies around you, and they’ll need you. That’s what war is about, and it’s what Call of Duty™ is all about.

INSTALLATION

Insert Disc One of Call of Duty™ into your CD-ROM drive. After a few seconds, the splash screen will appear. Click Install to begin the installation process and then follow the on-screen instructions.

If the splash screen does not appear, you may have Autorun disabled. Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop. Open the CD-ROM drive with the Call of Duty™ CD inserted. Double-click on Setup.exe to launch the Start screen.

Enter CD Key

The Installer will prompt you to enter a CD key. You must have a valid CD key in order to continue the installation process and play Call of Duty™. Your unique CD key is affixed to the game’s jewel case. When prompted, enter the CD key as it appears on the jewel case. It’s important that you observe the following guidelines to insure the privacy of your CD key:

•Keep your CD key in a safe, private place in case you need to reinstall your game at a later point.

•Players with invalid CD keys will not be permitted to join multiplayer games, so be sure to enter it correctly as it appears on the jewel case.

No one from either Activision® or Infinity Ward™ will ever ask you for your CD key (in game, on message boards or in chat rooms). Never give it out to anyone! If you lose your CD key, you will not be issued another one.

Latest Information

You will find the latest information about the game in the Readme file on the game disc. Select Readme from the Start screen or select Support on the splash screen then select Readme to view this information. If you are having problems installing or playing the game, you will also find assistance in the Help files section of the Start screen.

THE SINGLE PLAYER GAME

In the single player campaigns of the game, you play as an Allied soldier deep in the thick of some of the fiercest combat of the Second World War. The success of your squad, the completion of your mission and your very survival will depend on how well you move, how well you shoot and, perhaps most importantly, how well you keep your wits about you.

To begin a single player game, select Play Call of Duty™ Single Player from the Call of Duty™ folder contained in the Programs section of the Windows® Start Menu.

PLAYING THE GAME

Each mission’s briefing will provide crucial information about the setting, objectives, opportunities and potential obstacles you’ll encounter. This information will take the form of personal journal entries or communiqués from your superiors. Study them closely before entering the mission. The information they contain could save your life.

Compass – The compass is useful for helping you navigate your surroundings and for getting your bearings. In addition to showing you which direction you’re facing, it also shows you the location of Allies in your vicinity (green arrows) and the location of your current objective (a golden star).

Stance Indicator – The triangle-shaped icon shows you what your current stance is in the game. The icon will change from standing to crouching to prone, depending on the stance you choose.

6

Status Text – Throughout the game, updates appear here including changes in mission objectives, picking up health and other alerts.

Ammunition Counter – The box in the lower right-hand section of the screen is your ammunition counter. The first number indicates how many rounds are in your current weapon’s clip. The second number indicates your total number of rounds.

Health Bar – This bar indicates your current health status. A full green bar indicates full health. The bar reduces in size

and changes color along the spectrum from green to red as you lose health.

Crosshair – Use your crosshair to aim your weapon at your enemies. When you run or walk, your crosshair will widen, indicating the lack of accuracy that comes from attempting to aim while moving. The wider the crosshair, the less accurate your shots. When you stop moving, you automatically steady your weapon and your crosshair narrows. It is often wisest to fire when completely stopped to ensure accurate shots (and enable you to conserve ammo). Crouching or lying prone also keeps your crosshair focused, and it is advisable to use these positions whenever possible. Your crosshair will change when you encounter interactive objects. If you move your crosshair over an ally who is close to you, you will see your crosshair change to the image of a person. Press the Use key (default: F ) to ask individuals to move out of your line of sight.

Pickup Indicator – This indicator appears when there is an item you can pick up, be it a health kit, secret documents or a new weapon. In order to pick up the desired item, press your Use key (default: F ). In the case of a new

weapon (or ammunition for your current arsenal), you must press and hold the Use key.

Crouching and Going Prone

As soon as you enter your first battle, you’ll find that a soldier who stands around often winds up dead. A shrewd player will make use of both the crouch and prone stance positions when in the thick of battle to keep cover, avoid enemy fire and move without exposing himself to danger. Keep in mind that while crouched or prone, you’ll be harder to hit, but won’t move as

fast as when standing up. Additionally, when prone, you’ll crawl on your belly at a very slow pace and won’t be able to fire while moving.

IMPORTANT TIP: Always use available cover! Crouching or lying behind trees

and brush can keep the enemy from spotting you. Getting behind bulletproof objects can save you from gunfire.

10

Leaning

The ability to lean around corners and obstacles is essential to your survival. Leaning minimizes your exposure in potentially dangerous situations and allows you to look into rooms, around corners and otherwise peek from behind cover to survey the situation, check for hidden enemies and even fire at them. You can still be seen and even shot while leaning, so exercise caution.

You activate the lean controls for as long as you hold down the key. Releasing either lean key returns you to a centered view position.

VIEW CONTROLS

The default view keys are as follows:

Command	Default Key	Description
Look Up	Unbound	Shifts your view up to see
		above you.
Look Down	Unbound	Shifts your view down to see
		below you.
Mouse Look	Unbound	Toggles between mouse-
		controlled view and keyboard-
		controlled view.
Center View	Unbound	Returns your view to front
		and center.
Free Look	Yes	Enable mouse-controlled
		“free” viewing—move your
		º
		mouse to view 360.
Invert Mouse	No	Invert the Y-axis of the mouse
		if you prefer.
Smooth Mouse	No	Makes mouse movement
		less jittery.
Mouse Sensitivity	Slider	Controls the responsiveness of
		the mouse.	11

By default, looking around in the game is controlled by the mouse. Moving your mouse from side to side rotates your view left or right. Moving your mouse forward (away from you) causes you to look up, while moving your mouse backward (toward you) causes you to look down.

WEAPON CONTROLS

The default weapon-related keys are as follows:

Command	Default Key				Description
Attack	Left Mouse Button				Fire weapon.
Toggle Aim Right Mouse Button					Switch between “Aim
Down the Sight					Down the Sight”
					and “From the Hip”
					firing modes.
Aim Down		Unbound			Hold down to aim down
the Sight					the sight of your gun.
					Release to return to normal
					firing mode.
Melee Attack					Strike the enemy with
			Shift
					the butt of your gun.
Reload Weapon			R		Reload weapon.
Change Rate			M		Switch between fully
of Fire					automatic and semi-
					automatic firing modes.
					(Note: Not all weapons
					have multiple firing modes)
Select First Weapon		1			Switch your active weapon
					to the first weapon slot.

Command	Default Key	Description
Select Second Weapon 2		Switch your active weapon
		to the second weapon slot.
Select Pistol	3	Switch your active weapon
		to your pistol.
Select Grenade	4	Switch your active weapon
		to grenades.
Next Weapon	Mouse Wheel	Switch to the next
	Down	weapon in your inventory.
Previous	Mouse Wheel Up	Switch to the previous
Weapon		weapon in your inventory.

Aiming Down the Sight (ADS)

With every gun, you can enable the “aim down the sight” function, bringing the weapon up from your hip to your face so you can look down the sight (or look into the scope, in the case of scoped rifles). Aiming down the sight gives you a slight zoom effect, enabling you to be more accurate. However, when aiming down the sight, you move slower than normal.

The default toggle key for Aim Down the Sight is the Right Mouse Button. You can also bind a key to “hold down” between ADS and normal modes.

13

Melee Attack

Sometimes the proximity of your enemies makes it difficult to aim your weapon and defend yourself properly. Fortunately, you have a melee attack (default: Shift ) available that allows

you to smack an enemy at close range with the butt end of your rifle or pistol.

Reloading Weapons

When your weapon’s clip runs out of ammunition, you will automatically reload. Monitor your ammunition carefully! Reloading in the middle of a firefight takes time and leaves you unable to defend yourself. If you’re running low on ammunition, pick up the extra ammunition from a fallen comrade’s weapon of the same type. If all else fails, grab a weapon from a fallen enemy.

Swapping Weapons and Picking Up Items

When you see a weapon on the ground, you can swap it with one of your two main weapons (slot 1 or slot 2). To swap weapons, move your crosshair over the weapon and hold down the Use key. You’ll automatically drop your current weapon and pick up the new weapon.

Picking up items is as simple as pointing your crosshair at the item and pressing the Use key, or, in the case of health and ammunition, walking over the item.
