INTRODUCTION
Finally, a rare treat for the modding community: a full custom-made single player map,
for Call of Duty 2.
Single Player maps for COD2 can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Hopefully, this one will give a helping hand by encouraging other modders to do the same.

MAP: Single Player

CONTEXT:
Less than two and a half months after Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union,
the Red Army was outflanked. On September 8, 1941, the Germans had fully encircled Leningrad.
The siege began.
The city's almost 3 million civilians refused to surrender and endured rapidly increasing
hardships in the encircled city. Despite the fact that the Germans never set foot into
Leningrad, at least 600 000 to 800 000 people died of starvation, an unusually cold winter,
and enemy bombardment.
A Soviet counter-offensive started in the morning of January 12, 1943.
After fierce battles, the Red Army units overcame the powerful German fortifications.
A year later, in January 1944, a Soviet offensive drove off the besieging Germans from the
outskirts of the city. The 900-day siege finally ended.

MISSION:
During the 1943 counter-offensive, you and your fellow soldiers take part in a large scale
offensive to dislodge the Nazi army from its position at one end of the city.
From the destroyed and burning city of Leningrad, you will make your way through the open
ground of the city's outskirts to overcome the enemy blockades, destroy the flak and mortar
positions, and drive off the invaders to help uplift the siege.
