3 enemies: Recon plane displays enemies on your team's radar.
5 enemies: Artillery strike that can be placed anywhere on the map.
7 enemies: Send out an angry pack of dogs against the enemy.

 

  • Extra ammunition

Use the following trick if run out or are running low on ammunition on any mission in Solo mode on any difficulty. Find a non-essential teammate (someone not involved in the story line). Walk up to him, and aim the reticule next to his head or torso. Knife the air, and as you do so move slightly towards them so that the reticule is over them. If done correctly, he should die and drop his weapon. Non-essential teammates will get replaced when you walk into a battle. If the teammate does not die but keeps getting back up, they are essential to the story (for example, Sgt. Roebuck and Sgt. Rezenov).

  • Easy "Gunslinger" achievement

After you get to the sniper spot to kill General Amsel, shoot all your pistol ammunition. Then, switch to your sniper rifle, then switch back to your pistol. You should now have 80 rounds of ammunition instead of only 13.

  • Easy "Rough Economy" achievement

Play the "Vendetta" mission. After you shoot General Amsel's guards and move up to the car with the sergeant, a group of Nazis will appear down the street. Do not follow the sergeant. Instead, stay near the car, and wait for three of the Nazis to get in a line, then shoot.
