How to use this guide ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The guide basically just tells the weapons function, accuracy, rate of fire, clip capacity, damage, and my rating of it. And maybe I'll through in a few tips here and there. So enjoy the game and if you are not sure about what this certain weapon is suppose to do then look at this guide for in depth help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Weapons and their uses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Section 1: Pistols Personally I rarely used the pistols and the only time I used them is when I absolutely have to in Mission 5. But if your looking for a challenge and these guns has fairly good accuracy then use them. Colt.45 Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 20 Damage: 10 Clip Capacity: 7 Rating: 1/10 This is probably the stupidest weapon in the game. I found no use for it on the levels you get to use this gun. But if you're the guy who likes pistols this might be the gun for you. Walter P38 Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 20 Damage: 9 Clip Capacity: 7 Rating: 2/10 Although it doesn't do as much damage as the Colt .45 it's so much better and it's a silencer too. You should refrain from using it too much. Welbley and Scott Silenced Pistol Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 40 Damage: 10 Clip Capacity: 7 Rating: 3/10 This is the best pistol in the game that you could use and it's silenced too. And it shoots a lost faster. Section 2: Rifles You'll be using these weapons the majority of the game and all of the rifles rock. They have great accuracy and they do a lot of damage. Get used to these awesome toys of destruction. M1 Garand Accuracy: 2 Rate of Fire: 30 Damage: 12 Clip Capacity: 8 Rating: 10/10! (but most people would rate it a 5/10) This is my favorite weapon! It has great accuracy and deals out a lot of damage. And you really don't have to worry about reloading. But the only problem is you can't use it on that many missions. Give this weapon a chance it rocks while you get to use it. *TIP* When using the M1 Garand realize that you can't manually reload this weapon. So instead if you have one bullet left and about to move into a new area, shoot the gun and it will Patterson will reload it. This will prevent any careless damage. Springfield '03 Accuracy: 1 Rate of Fire: 40 Damage: 16 Clip Capacity: 5 Rating:8/10 One of the ever-popular Sniper Rifles that rock the house! This isn't the best sniper rifle in the game but it's good. The only difference is that the other one (Gewehr 43) holds more ammo and I find that one easier to aim. STG 44 Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 8 Damage: 10 Clip Capacity: 30 Rating: 6/10 This is a very good automatic rifle and the good thing is you get it on the 4th level. It's a great weapon to use when fighting more than three enemies and it's an easy automatic to handle. *TIP* When you are fighting multiple enemies be sure to AIM at them. Do not just shoot blindly. You'll have a better chance of not getting hit if you AIM the gun. AIM!!!! Because if you don't you'll end up having to reload while your enemies get free shots at you. B.A.R. Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 9 Damage: 10 Clip Capacity: 20 Rating: 8/10 Great weapon to have! Knocks out the enemy really quick. The bullets have a harder impact than those of the STG 44. Let this automatic become your friend at war and this is a great life style. You first get this weapon on Arhnem Knights. And you can see a fellow soldier use it in Enter the Breach. But for some reason it has a little stand to set the gun up. Of course this has no use in the game I guess it was just added for realism. Gewerhr 43 Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 40 Damage: 16 Clip Capacity: 10 Rating: 10/10 This is my second favorite weapon. It is like the Springfield '03 but better in everyway. And plus you get to use it a lot more and there is more practical use for it. You find this weapon on the Bridge Level and instead of a regular crosshair. This one only has three lines like the one below and gives you better aim. And it holds so much more ammo than the Springfield does so you can worry about taking out your enemies and not reloading. The Scope for Gewerhr 43 ________________________ | | | | | _ | | |_| | |________ _|_ _________| | | | | / \ | | | | | | | |___________|____________| The Scope for the Springfield '03: ________________________ | | | | | | | _|_ | | |_|_| | |___________|____________| | | | | /| \ | | | | | | | |___________|____________| The Gewerhr Scope allows you to see exactly what the enemy is doing i.e. reloading, aiming at you (heaven forbid!). Section 3: Sub-Machine Guns Sub-machine guns are for those fast paced missions where there are 10 Nazi's you have to fight at once. Careful when using the weapons because you may think you are Rambo and start shooting randomly hoping to kill someone. This is a good way to get killed in action. MP40 Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 5 Damage: 6 Clip Capacity: 32 Rating: 7/10 It's not the best weapon in the world but certainly not the worse either. Great because it holds 32 at a time and you don't have to worry about reloading if your smart. But it's not so strong if you hit the enemy's chest. *TIP* When fighting multiple Nazi's hide behind crates and pop out and shoot and hide back again. That way you won't leave yourself open to unseen enemies. Thompson Accuracy: 3 Rate of Fire: 4 Damage: 6 Clip Capacity: 20 Rating: 8/10 This gun is great at the begging of the game when you're at Omaha Beach. Shoots very fast but doesn't quite have as much ammo room as the MP40. If you were to choose between either sub-machine your choice should be the MP40. Section 4: Grenades (projectiles) Grenades are one of the best weapons to use in Medal of Honor: Frontline. They are very effective at taking out groups of Nazi's. Mark II Frag Grenade Accuracy: You chunk them at the Nazi Rate of Fire: As fast as you press the shoot button Damage: Explosion Clip Capacity: As many as Patterson can hold in his pants. Rating: 9/10 These grenades are the best for any soldier going in to a pack of rabid Nazi's just waiting to blow you to smithereens. These grenades are shaped like a regular grenade nothing special about them. Just your average grenade. And do be careful not to blow yourself up too! The only problem is Nazi's can kick these grenades back at you. Try bouncing them off walls too. ***''Nade tip by Paploo**** Paploo e-mailed me telling me about "cooking grenades" well here's what he said. "[Cooking] means is if you throw a grenade, you can hold the R2 button after pulling the pin, without throwing the grenade. You can count in your head and try to time it so that the grenade explodes shortly after it hits the ground, leaving the enemies little time to throw it back. I believe that the Mark II has a four-second fuse, although I'm not sure, you may want to experiment." Stielhandgranate Accuracy: You chunk them at the Nazi Rate of Fire: As fast as you press the shoot button Damage: Explosion Clip Capacity: As many as Patterson can hold in his pants. Rating: 9/10 These particular grenades are in a form of a stick. You throw them and most likely the Nazis won't throw them back. Only problem is there grenades don't bounce as far as the Mark II grenades. Mark II: Stielhandgrenate: ___() _ _| |_ | | / \ | | | | | | falls | | | | off | | __|_|__ when |_____| | | thrown | |---- at |_______| enemy. Section 5 Heavy Artillery The big guns are all included here. The shotgun, bazooka and the Panzerscherk (you might wonder what that is). All made to blow up the biggest group of Nazis. Shotgun Accuracy: Bullets fly everywhere Rate of Fire: 55 Damage: 5-75 Clip Capacity: 8 Rating: 7/10 Great weapon one of the best when you want to get rid of a Nazi without shooting too much. You receive this weapon at Operation Repunzel. The only set back is that the accuracy is horrible. You may think you hit a Nazi in the head but in head you completely missed him. Bazooka Accuracy: 1 Rate of Fire: 200 Damage: one massive explosion! Clip Capacity: 1 Rating 5/10 I personally refrained from using this weapon I found no need to unless I was ambushed by a bunch of Nazis. Takes them out quick and the aiming is pretty cool. Otherwise just use the shotgun. Panzerschrek Accuracy: 1 Rate of Fire: 200 Damage: one massive explosion! Clip Capacity: 1 Rating 4/10 Worse than the Bazooka because it's so hard to aim this thing. But good when your trying to take out tanks just make sure you don't get hit from a Nazi with one of these. Section 6 Other weapons Dynamite Accuracy: 1 Rate of Fire: N/A Damage: one massive explosion! Clip Capacity: N/A Rating: N/A Use this to blow up things. See a guy nearby? Next to something to blow up? Instead of using bullets use dynamite to blow them up with ease. You only get some per mission and can only use them at assigned places. Smoke Grenades Accuracy: 1 Rate of Fire: N/A Damage: one SMALL explosion! Clip Capacity: N/A Rating: N/A You use this in the second level to signal the planes to blow up the turret. No real use just make sure you run out of the Machine Guns Accuracy: N/A Rate of Fire: 1 Damage: 13 Clip Capacity: Infinite Rating: 9/10 Take control of the enemy's gun and use it against them. It's pretty powerful to and you never have to reload! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. FAQ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q. Why can't I reload the M1 Garand? A. Ok this is finally going to be fixed right here right now at 1:43 AM!! I've been getting numerous e-mails regarding this so based on research I have concluded that: the M1 Garand could not be manually reloaded with wasted the entire clip. The clip holps a number a rounds and you cannot remove or add more into the clip. Kinda like a roll of film, you have to use the film before putting more in the camera. I hope this answered most of your questions and those who e-mailed me, may God have mercy on your soul! Heh... just joking! Q. How do I do a melee attack? A. Check your controls if you're on MOH sharpshooter it's R3. For some reason pistol whipping hurts them more. Q. Omygosh!!! Where are they hitting me from!!!? HELP!!! A. Before going mad look up at you surroundings study the sky and look for which way the bullet it coming from. Most likely it's a sniper or if your clumsy it's someone behind you. Or maybe a knife-throwing chef. Q. Why is the Panzerschrek so hard to aim? A. Well imagine if you were aiming this in real life... it would be extremely hard to aim. Q. Where does Patterson carry all those weapons? A. He carries a little wagon around... well maybe not hey it's a game and you get infinite inventory maybe he has a bottomless backpack? Q. Why do the Nazis throw my grenades back? A. Because you the developers made this game very realistic. So instead of throwing the grenade when the Nazi is looking at you or reloading, wait until they start shooting then they'll be too busy to throw it back. Might add some more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5.
