Bonuses

Cheat - Achilles Head (Entrenching Tool required)

After the first checkpoint, continue down the streets and when you find the next crossroad, turn left and walk down the street until you find a dead-end with some crates. Turn left and you can see a doorway. Enter the building through that doorway and you find some stairs. Next to the stairs you can see an air-vent. Approach that air-vent and press the use key to unlock the cheat. You need the Entrenching Tool to collect the cheat.

Film canister 1 - Frank Dunning 135th field regiment R.A. (Valor in History)

On the same neighborhood, you can find a store with two rollup doors, one fully opened, and the other one slightly opened. Inside you can see some fruit baskets, a red floor, and a doorway. Get in that doorway and keep walking until you reach the other end of the tunnel. You will find yourself in a garage like area with a few enemies. Get on the higher level of that room and you can find the first film canister.

Film canister 2 - Storyboards

Right after you meet with Bromley, you go down in a destroyed warehouse room. Right under the stairs you enter the room from, you can find a desk with the film canister on it.

Multiplayer Skin - Colonel Kandler (Skeleton key required)

At the very end of the level, you find yourself on a hotel room hallway. The final objective is the room on the right, but there's another room accessible on the left. If you enter the room on the left you can find the skin chest of the level. Like all skin chests, you need the Skeleton key of the level to unlock it.

Secret area

In the very beginning of the level, at the docks, there's a truck and right at the corner near that truck there's a generator covered with a black net. Use the Machete tool to cut the net and it will blow up nearby barrels killing any enemies that may be nearby.

Historical Info

Despite being viewed as the Impregnable Fortress of Malaya, Singapore quickly fell to the Japanese. The beleaguered Allied forces surrendered in February 1942 and Singapore was placed under martial law. Underground resistance remained strong among the Chinese, Malay, Indian and British citizens.

Prior to the Japanese invasion, Singapore and Malaya were a colony of the British Empire. The British believed an invasion of Singapore would come from the sea, but in 1942 it came from the land. Japanese forces invaded Thailand and made their way down into Malaya and Singapore. After the Fall of Singapore, Singapore fell to the Japanese and in 1945, returned to Great Britain after Japan was defeated in the war.

Trivia

• The hotel in the final part of the mission is the Raffles Hotel.
• The level is named after the cocktail, the Singapore Sling. The cocktail was invented at the bar in the Raffles Hotel sometime in the 1910s.
• The images shown on the projection screen in the conference room are of the temple and statue from the next mission.
• After the player obtains the slide reel, Bromley will flee from the room as additional soldiers enter. However, none of the soldiers appear to even notice him.
• Singapore Chinatown is in this level along with the Jamae Mosque or the Sri Mariamman Temple.
• Bowls of noodles can be found at the docks. When eaten, a message saying "The noodles are wet and spicy" will appear on top of the screen.
• Strangely, once the player is given the Sten Mark II, they can't switch to their Pistols.
• If the level is played in co-op, Tanaka will not appear until Griffin and Stewart reach the bottom floor of the house, where a car awaits.
• When fighting with the Germans inside the hotel, they will have Nambu pistols rather than Walther P38s. They might've been loaned the Nambu pistols.
• Upon entering the hotel, a rendition of the iconic Nazi theme from previous Medal of Honor games will be triggered.
• The Japanese manager and Commander Shima speak to both Griffin and other German officers in English. In reality, they would be speaking German.
• The Japanese manager's outfit is different if the game is played in co-op. In single-player, he wears a traditional buttoned up white suit traditional of a hotel worker. In co-op, he's dressed in a Japanese officer uniform.
• In the Summit Bromley is seen holding a Sten Mk II, but in the ending cutscene, Bromley is shown with an M1 Garand.
• The theft of Kandler's uniform, and discovery of a fraud, is similar to the "On Track" level from Medal of Honor: Frontline, in which a German officer reveals that Patterson stole his uniform. He too wears boxers with hearts on them.
