Historical Info

The capture of the airfield did not end the fighting on Guadalcanal. The Japanese still had control of the seas, and a fresh force soon arrived to retake the island from the Allies. Entrenched artillery positions and hidden snipers made the airfield all but usable.

Trivia

• Martin Clemens is the only real life person to appear in the game.
• Despite Dean and the other POW breathing when they're cut from their bonds, they don't follow Griffin, and just lay down. Either they are unconscious or exhausted.
• Pvt. Thomason for some reason will not follow you after you clear the camp, despite him being part of your squad.
• The player can prevent receiving the Thompson SMG from Clemens by rushing forward to the caves before talking to Clemens at the waterfall.
• Clemens may sometimes not appear at the brook, leaving Selas or Keip to fend off the Japanese soldiers alone; this also prevents the player from receiving the Thompson SMG, although ammo for the gun will still appear.
• The mission's storyboard reveals that the player was originally meant to use a cord to cave-in the second artillery emplacement and shoot an pack of explosives to destroy the bridge.
• For unknown reasons, the tank machine gun in this level will target but not shoot the player.
