Bonuses[]
Cheat - Immortality (Entrenching Tool required)[]
The unlockable cheat can be found on the baseball stadium on the corner where you exit the stadium and re-enter the sewers for the second time to proceed with the mission. More specifically, the cheat pickup looks like a chunk of dirt, and its near a poster that says "Baryo Palengke" with a pineapple on it. There's two of these posters in the stadium. To collect the cheat you need the Entrenching Tool.
Film canister 1 - Harry Corre (Valor in History)[]
After you repair the tank and it breaks open the roadblock, you can see a destroyed building to the left. The first film canister can be found on the first floor of that building. You can climb on the rubble to reach the first floor and find the film canister behind some crates.
Film canister 2 - Storyboards[]
When you reach the church, you can find the film canister right between the bell tower and the truck. There's a small wall where the film canister is hidden behind. You can just go around that small wall and acquire the second film canister.
Multiplayer Skin - Jack Lauton (Skeleton key required)[]
The unlockable skin for this level can be found in the building with the MG on the rooftop with which you protect your allies. The skin chest is inside the building, on the first floor, in the room with the wooden stairs just before you climb on the rooftop. Like all skin chests, you need the Skeleton key of the level to unlock it.
Secret area[]
Right in the beginning, near the bridge entrance, there's a black net barrier that player can break open with the Machete and gain access to a small section under the bridge where ammunition can be found.

Historical Info[]
US forces on the Philippines were stranded by the Japanese victory at Pearl Harbor. Battle-hardened Japanese troops invaded the islands, forcing the defenders into a retreat that ended in a hopeless siege. Thousands of US and Filipino soldiers were taken captive when US forces surrendered.
Trivia[]
- Historical Inaccuracy - The Lunge Mine is wielded by some Japanese infantry two years before it actually came into service in December 1944 in Leyte.
- The billboards at the baseball field are written in Tagalog. The billboard with the pineapple translates to say "Village Bazaar". The billboard with the man and bottle translates to say "Effortless Living! San Jose Drink!"
- The Japanese radio set at the baseball field as recycled asset from Medal of Honor: Frontline.
- Oddly enough, the player and U.S. Army soldiers are armed with M1 Garands, when mostly USAFFE and Filipino soldiers were armed with the M1917 Enfield Rifle or the M1903 Springfield rifle.
- If the game is played in Co-op, all of the American NPCs, such as Gunny and Donnie, are absent, and instead of you protecting the tank on its way to the truck, one of the players instead controls the tank.
- On the mission's storyboard, the brother is Steve McCoy instead of Donnie Griffin.
- The likeness of the church and the courtyard was used to create the multiplayer map, Calumpit Chaos.
- The Golden Buddha collectible is a nod to the legend of the Yamashita treasure, which is also the main plot of the game.
