''Call of Duty: Finest Hour'' was released on [[November 16]], [[2004]] in [[North America]]. It was followed up by a sequel, ''[[Call of Duty 2: Big Red One]]'', in [[2005]]. |

*'''Pvt. Alexsandr Sokolov''' |
|||
Sokolov was a young man whose dream was to open a watch shop and have a family. But after the German invasion he joined the Red Army and was assigned to Stalingrad. He had the poor luck to have not been issued a rifle, but rather, bullets. He met Sgt.Puskov, who he spotted during the fight. After fighting through the ruined city, Puskov is killed by a German sniper. Sokolov then met Tanya Pavelovna, a sniper who is also fighting in the city. She was believed to have been killed by tank fire in the first Nikolai mission. But at the end of the first Nikolai mission you see Alexsandr and another soldier carrying Tanya Pavelovna on a stretcher. |
|||
*'''Lt. Tanya Pavelovna''' |
|||
Tanya was an ordinary girl whose village was captured by the Germans; after her parents were killed she picked up a fallen Red Army soldier's sniper rifle and killed four Germans. This earned her recognition from the Soviet commanders, who saw her skill useful for the situation in Stalingrad. There, she met Alexsandr Sokolov, who became her spotter. Later on in the game, Tanya is thought killed along with Alexsandr by a Panzer IV, which fires at the building they're standing in. However, she is only wounded. She is later seen on a stretcher in General Belov's headquarters. |
|||
*'''Lt./Maj. Nikolai Badanov''' |
|||
Nikolai is an engineer who left his wife and infant son in the care of his parents to join the Red Army. He was assigned to a tank crew and because of his aggressivness and skill with machinery.

|||
A British chemistry teacher, Carlyle joined the British army as a commando and becomes a part of the [[PPA]] (Popski's Private Army). In his commando unit, he was assigned as the demolitions expert for his chemistry background.

|||
*'''Sgt./Lt. Chuck Walker''' |
|||
Walker is a member of the US First Army, and the First Infantry Division (Big Red One.) Walker took part in the Normandy and Sicily invasions, and fought in North Africa against Rommel. In France, he was assigned to help capture [[Aachen]], the first Major German city to fall to the Allies. Walker takes part in missions to defeat pockets of remaining German resistance. Later on Walker is promoted to Lieutenant for his services during the capture of Aachen. Walker and his squad finally capture the bridge over the [[Rhine river|Rhine]] at [[Remagen]]. |
|||
*'''Sgt. Sam Rivers''' |
|||
Sgt. Sam Rivers is an African American who leads a small tank battalion. Because of the bravery of Rivers and the rest of his crew (who are also African Americans) he was promoted to Sgt.

|||
==Overview== |
|||
In ''Call of Duty: Finest Hour'', the player first starts off as the Russian Aleksandr Sokolov, who fights through Stalingrad and meets Tanya Pavelonva, a hard willed sniper. Sokolov becomes Pavelovna's spotter as the two work to harass the Germans. The player then switches to Pavelonva. As the sniper, the player must clear out a section of German-occupied sewers and help to defend a small tractor factory that, until under immediate front line assault, manufactured [[T-34]]s. After successfully defending the factory, a tank crew led by Nikolai Badanov arrives to crew the tank just as a Panzer IV advances on the factory. Atop the [[T-34]], Tanya and Aleksandr escape the apparently doomed factory. The player next assumes the role of Nikolai Badanov. After fighting through pockets of German resistance, Nikolai stops at General Belov's headquarters. He receives orders to deliver a radio to a team of spotters. The spotters' radio had been damaged and the Soviet artillery wasn't receiving coordinates of German armour, which was massing to overrun the headquarters. Nikolai's task is to recapture the ruins of [[Red Square]], arrive at the [[Stalingrad]] Train Station (where the spotters were,) break through to the team and deliver the radio. Thanks to Nikolai, the Panzer IV column is destroyed by rockets and General Belov is not captured or killed. Afterwards, Nikolai and his crew are involved in the Russian assault on a German airfield at Tatsinskaya. This attack is codenamed Operation Little Saturn. After fighting through the heavily defended barracks and supply areas, Nikolai and other T-34s proceed to the airstrip to destroy grounded German Messerschmitt Bf-109s, Ju-87 'Stuka' dive-bombers, and Ju-52 transports. Upon destroying the airfield they meet up with more Soviets to assault the German headquarters. After forcing entry, Nikolai and his men find German intelligence documents which they deliver to their superiors. |
|||
Enter Edward Carlyle. Carlyle embarks on a night-time raid in Matmata to destroy a German fuel depot. The commando team led by Sgt. Starkey manages to destroy the depot, a radio post and an electricity generator. |
|||
After the Matmata raid, Starkey and Carlyle are picked up by a jeep. As they refuel in the desert, a German sentry shoots the machine-gunner. Carlyle takes up the .50 Caliber to riddle Opel Blitz trucks, Ju-87 'Stuka' dive-bombers and German soldiers, a Stuka pilot drops a bomb that separates Starkey and Carlyle. Thrust into the battle for an unnamed fortress, Carlyle destroys the German entrance to stop them from entering and silences the [[MG42]]s. He then rescues Sgt. Dehart, who was trapped on the roof of a German strongpoint. After being rescued, Dehart tells Carlyle that the 'Cartographer' is being held prisoner. This cartographer had vital information: he knew a way to outflank Rommel through the desert. Carlyle finishes off the German remnants and rescues the cartographer. A surprised Starkey feigns shock that Carlyle would leave him to defend himself in the fortress, and all have a good laugh. |
|||
The American missions see the player control Chuck Walker, an American veteran of D-Day, Sicily, and Africa, and Sergeant of the American 1st Infantry Division. The first four missions concentrate on the capture of Aachen. For their meritorious service in Aachen, Walker and his friend Benny Church are promoted. After capturing Aachen, the story shifts focus on M4 Sherman tank commander Sam Rivers, a young Black man who has also been made Sergeant for his commitment and bravery. After successfully helping to fend off Germans in the around Bastogne, the player again returns to the now Lieutenant Walker. Walker's new mission is to infiltrate the city of Remagen and scout the status of a bridge that is rumoured to still stand over the Rhine. After finding the bridge, Walker teams up with Sgt. Rivers as he and his men protect River's tank group and escort them to the bridge. Upon reaching the bridge, a huge hole in the ground prevents the tanks from moving on which means Walker and his squad must capture the bridge alone. After crossing, Walker mans a Flakvierling anti-air gun on top of a tower and fends off the counterattacking German Stukas. After rebuffing the aerial threat, the triumphant Walker hangs the US flag over the tower and waves the tank column into Germany. |
|||
This game features many of the same weapons as featured in previous Call Of Duty games, however this game has added the M3 Grease Gun, the Russian DPM LMG, a portable M1919A6 Browning .30 caliber LMG, (an unusual model of the M1919,) and a portable version of the mislabeled German MG34. A Sten MK IIS (the silenced version of the Sten MK.II submachine gun) was planned, but was not included in the final game. |
