Medal of Honor: Frontline Under the Radar Part 1 (PS2)

This is the second-to-last mission in the game and one of the most difficult. Lt. Patterson is now within the confines of GOTHA, and is very close to his objective: Steal the HO-9 fighter jet. First, he has to disable communications and give the green light for Allied bombers to unleash their payload on the facility. Then, He must infiltrate the HO-9's hanger...

I remember manning the fourth MG42 when I first played this level and it's a nightmare so I skipped that part. I have now tried again and with the same result... the MG42 is not very effective and hardly any Germans are killed, I resorted to using the Gewehr instead and with some success but I usually get killed, as you say there are about 20 odd Germans and I find it difficult to kill them all. This part seems far more difficult (on easy) than other levels in which I achieve Gold using normal.

@Joeloflunik I may have exaggerated when I said that fourth gun alone has twenty enemies, but there are at least a dozen. You may have to check and see if you missed any more on the other guns. Generally, the way to test how many are left is to man and unman the gun repeatedly, firing off a few shots each time. Staying on the gun the whole time is recommended, but if that is too difficult to do, just do like I said. You may have to wait a few seconds before enemies appear. It's a bit tricky.

@spicyechidna94 I forgot to mention that I did kill all of the enemy and did not miss any (before the fourth gun), the answer to obtaining a Gold is the extra dozen or so that are killed by using the fourth gun (you are right it's not twenty but about a dozen), the enemies killed on my Gold run was 102 compared to about 89-90 on previous runs when I did not use the fourth gun and only got a Bronze, it now seems obvious. Problem solved and thanks for the guidance, appreciated.

@Joeloflunik I'm glad I could help. :D

Good Player.

[Joeloflunik]

@spicyechidna94 I managed to get a Gold (at last!) but it took 30 minutes to do. I take on board what you say about the fourth gun, the problem is that the gun does not appear to be very effective and although I fire away only a handful of Germans are killed, they are difficult to spot because they disappear behind the trenches, I find that the Gewehr is more effective but it's still very difficult to kill the enemy. I will try your suggestion and fire off a few shots at a time, thanks again.

@Joeloflunik I think I just forgot to record the part where I manned the fourth MG42. Well, either that or I just did not want to record it. I see exactly what you mean. I vaguely remember assuming that manning the fourth MG42 would be boring to watch, so I manned that one before recording. It takes FOREVER to kill the twenty-odd Germans who spawn there. I indeed manned it either way, though.

I'm sorry for not recording that. Manning all four MGs will get you a gold medal, though.

@spicyechidna94 I man only three MG42's...if you look at your vid (Part 2) there are a couple of comments similar to mine, players are saying that they only achieve a Bronze despite killing all of the enemy. In your part 2 video you miss the fourth MG42 (in the bunker) and so do I...it never occured to me to man the gun, maybe then this is the answer, I will give it another go and let you know if I get a Gold (or even Silver!). By not manning the fourth MG42 did you get a Gold?

[spicyechidna94]

@Joeloflunik Oh, I think I know. There are well over a hundred enemies in this level, so you must have missed quite a few by accident. It's been a while since I have played this, but I I remember having to man all four MG42 emplacements to get a gold medal. Several enemies spawn for each of them and you have to stay on the guns until there aren't any left, or at least stay near the gun and man it every once in a while while shooting at enemies.

Hi, this is the only level where I can't achieve Gold, in fact I usually get a Bronze. This is strange because I eliminate most of the enemy (I kill about 79-85 Nazis), I say most because when I use the MG42 on normal (your vid 2.33-3.35) a rogue Nazis manages to kill me, he is firing from the balcony of the radar station, I noticed on your vid that he does not appear. On easy I'm OK but I still get a Bronze, my health does go into the red sometimes but I finish with full health. Any ideas?
