NerdTests.com Test: Urban Warfare: Can You Survive?

You are a corpral in an infantry platoon in the U.S. Army. You have an M16A3 assault rifle and an M40A3 sniper rifle. You also have M67 frag grenades and M18 smoke grenades, which obscure you from the enemy. Being a corpral, you may give orders to Privates and PFCs, but are subject to orders from your Sergeant and higher ranks.

You are stationed 22 miles from Seattle, Washington when you get word of the invasion. During the night, China launched an amphibious assault against West Coast cities. Seattle is one of them. Your platoon, and others, are mobilized to drive the assault back into the Pacific Ocean. Can you?

Your platoon has been ordered onto armored troop transports to liberate Seattle. You are driven towards Seattle and spot a barricade ahead. It cannot be moved around.

Destroy the barricade with the main gun of the transport
Have a soldier go out and place explosive on the barricade
Have your squad exit your tramsport to dismantle the barricade

Your platoon moves ahead. You enter the edge of Seattle. Maching-gun fire erupts from nearby shops.

Kill the machine gunners with the transport's main gun
Turn your transport onto a side street, then have your men (and you) exit to secure the shops
Fire first with the main gun of the transport, then clear the rest out with troops (combo of 1 and 2)

Your sergeant orders all troops out of their transports two blocks down so the transports can create a fallback position. You can't use them. As you advance up the street, the soldier next to you is hit by sniper fire.

Run for cover!
Run for cover, but use your M16 to return fire.
Run for cover, then use your M40 to take out the sniper.

You are ordered to clear out an office building across the street from you. There is an enemy armored car two blocks away. How should you cross the street?

Wait for it's weapons to be pointed away from you, then dash across
Toss a smoke grenade into the street and run low, so as not to be hit by stray bullets
Call a tank to remove the armored car from the intersection

You enter the office building with your squad. How should you clear it out?

Lob grenades into each room
Going room to room, have a point man go in with another soldier waiting outside with grenades.
Going room to room, have a point man go in with a machine gunner behind him

Your men are ordered through a public park. You expect an ambush by the path intersection ahead. What do you do?

Have the soldiers with M16s move ahead, while those with sniper rifles (including you) stay back to pick off the ambushers
Throw grenades at the path intersection
Go in; it's probably not dangerous

You come across a Chinese communications vehicle that the rest of the U.S. forces missed.

Throw a grenade inside, killing the occupants and wrecking the equipment
Burst in, shoot up the van, then burn the equipment
Take no action, it was left there for a reason.

A tank is guarding the nearby intersection, and your forces cannot move to their objective until it is taken out.

Have a portable anti-tank gunner fire on the tank, then advance immediately after the tank is hit
Radio for a nearby tank to attack the enemy tank
Throw a smoke grenade and have your forces advance on the tank. Then, board it and clear out the tankers

You are within sight of the waterfront, your ultimate objective. As you advance, you notice a door cracked open when all other shops on the street are closed.

Toss a grenade in, and run
Raise your M16 and fire into the door
Shout a warning to your troops and order them to scatter

10)

You arrive at the waterfront. A transport ship is three piers away, ready to evacuate enemy troops.

Fire your anti-tank weapons at the ship
Call for a strike fighter jet to destroy the ship
Send a raiding party to kill the ship's occupants

11)

With the ship neutralized, you recieve new orders: flank the Chinese position along the waterfront. A portable anti-tank rocket launcher and machine guns are set up on the road parallel to the piers of the waterfront. Your platoon can't advance otherwise.

Toss a smoke grenade directly in front of the defensive position, cross the street, and pick off the defenders with sniper fire
Same as above, but firing an anti-tank rocket instead
Same as above, but firing a heavy machine gun for supressing fire instead

12)

The position is vacated; the defenders have fallen back. The position is now yours.

Capture the machine guns and hold the position until another platoon arrives
Destroy the weapons so the enemy cannot use it if recovered
Continue moving forward; the attack cannot be stalled

13)

High command orders the attack to continue, and sends more troops. They set up the defensive position, and your platoon is asked to move ahead. There are two options.

Move up the wide road; less chance of an ambush
Move through an alley; stuff to hide behind, and not caught in the wide, wide open

14)

You decide to move into a shop, but a machine gun opens up on your forces. The defenders that vacated the defensive post cannot evacuate with the transport ship destroyed.

Throw grenades in the windows, then attack with assault rifles when inside
Smoke grenade in front of the building, then rush through it and flush the enemy out
Same as above, but setting up snipers outside to remove the machine guns

15)

Your forces are in control of the store. In the basement, you discover an ammo dump, full of enemy machine guns, rifles, and anti-tank weapons.

Place explosives in the center and destroy the ammo
Capture the ammunition and use it immediately
Radio for a truck to remove the ammunition for later use
