Objective 2 : Defend the west bank of the canal.

Your squad needs you! Learn the best spots and tactics to defend the west bank of the canal from German forces in Call of Duty: World at War. Stay patient and pick your loadout wisely.

Alright, Objective 2 is all about holding the line on the west bank of the canal. After the mortars stop raining down, your buddies are gonna make a break for it across the bridge. Keep an eye out as you get to the end of that bridge – there’s a sweet stash of weapons waiting for you. Grab something good, like an MP44 or a Kar98k, but don't dawdle, time's tight!

Once you've got your gear, head southeast. You'll find a small yard with a low brick wall. Your best bet is to hang out just outside this wall, maybe around 15 feet from that busted tank. This spot gives you a good view of both entrances to the yard, because a good number of Germans are gonna be pushing through. Just keep your machine gun or sub-machine gun ready and pick them off as they appear. There might be some quiet spells, but don't get antsy – they'll keep coming.

Now, if you're feeling a bit antsy or just want a change of scenery, you can head north where your squad is duking it out with another big group of enemies. Just a heads-up, though: on the harder difficulties, I'd stick to the yard. Poking your head up north can mean taking a lot more damage if you're not super careful.
