Call of Duty Campaign order: American, British and Soviet missions
Locate the campaign blocks and understand why the viewpoint changes.
Edition covered
Original 2003 PC campaign and original PC publisher pictures. United Offensive and the altered console Call of Duty Classic release are outside this reference.
Follow the changing soldier
The campaign changes protagonists as it moves between the American, British and Soviet operations. A new uniform and weapon set can signal a new viewpoint; read the briefing rather than expecting Martin to remain the player throughout.
| Block | Examples | Main viewpoint |
|---|---|---|
| American opening | Training, Pathfinder, Burnville | Private Martin |
| British operations | Pegasus Bridge, Eder Dam, battleship | Sergeant Evans |
| Soviet advance | Stalingrad, Pavlov, tank operations | Alexei Voronin |
| Final operations | Hurtgen, Rocket, Berlin | Returning Allied viewpoints |
Recognize the mission format
Some stages focus on holding a line while others require sabotage, an escape or a vehicle sequence. Complete the marked action; simply defeating the visible enemies may not advance the mission.
| Task | What progresses it | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Assault | Reach and secure the next objective | Exposed approaches |
| Defense | Hold the assigned position through the attack | Enemies approaching from a new direction |
| Sabotage | Use the marked target or place explosives | Leaving before the interaction finishes |
| Escape | Follow the route to the extraction point | Fighting indefinitely in the starting area |
Keep the finale separate
The final operations return to the different Allied forces as they close on Germany. They conclude the original campaign and are not United Offensive expansion missions.
Use the objective display
Check the objective list whenever the squad stops moving. A charge placement, document pickup or interaction may be waiting even when the nearby area appears clear.
