Private First Class Salvatore Guzzo was an Italian-American radio operator who served in World War 2 for the American Army during World War II. He appears in Call of Duty 3.

Biography

Guzzo’s hometown is Boston, Massachusetts. During the war, he was assigned to the 29th Infantry Division as a radio operator. However, due to a shortage of men, he was later transferred to the 90th Infantry Division. The first time he fights with Nichols’ troops is at Saint-Lo, when he learns that his superior officer has been killed at Martinville. Guzzo thus learns that he is to join McCullin’s unit, for which he was at first very disgusted. At Saint-Lo, Guzzo and Nichols suffer minor injuries when they fall into a destroyed building because of tank fire. During the fighting, tensions between Guzzo and McCullin continue to build until the two really get into it towards the end of the engagement. When Guzzo suggests falling back a bit, McCullin even threatens to shoot him with a gun for desertion. Therefore, Guzzo thinks McCullin is insane, which in turn thinks Guzzo is a coward. During the battle at Mayenne Bridge, Guzzo realizes that McCullin has finally lost his mind, but later the sergeant dies. His last words are “tell Guzzo to go to hell”. Later, Guzzo also messes with Dixon.
At Chambois, Guzzo risks his life for his comrades by calling in an artillery strike so the Americans can still keep up with the Germans. While using flares to spot targets, he is shot in the leg. As Dixon tries to pull him to safety, he is also hit and mortally wounded, leaving Guzzo to take command of the troops. After Dixon’s death, the pissed-off Guzzo leads the Americans to victory.
After the battle, Guzzo is made the leader of the troops in a highly official capacity. At the end of the game, he is seen quoting “Rule 1” from Sergeant McCullin as he ushers new recruits into a supply truck.

Personality

About orders, Guzzo is usually angry and unhappy. He and McCullin can’t stand each other to death, which causes tension within the squad until the sergeant’s death. However, when Dixon falls and Guzzo becomes the new commander, he changes his attitude. At the end of the game, he even quotes one of McCullin’s rules and wears his helmet, from which we can conclude that he no longer thinks so badly of his old sergeant.

Info

In the second mission Guzzo’s rank is lowered to Private because he wanted to desert, but later in the game he is a Private First Class again.
On Guzzo’s back is always a radio, until the last mission, where he wears a normal backpack.
In the Semper Fi mission from Call of Duty: World at War, you see a rifleman named Pvt. Guzzo at the end. This could be an Easter Egg from Treyarch.

Heroes (Call of Duty)

The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
