TACTICAL COMMANDS [TCTC]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Issuing commands to AI-controlled teammates is an issue a player grapples
with throughout the game. Sometimes it's the right choice for use, sometimes
it's getting obedience out of the SEALs. Either way, it's a learn-as-y'go
deal. Commands are issued by holding O-button and talking into the headset
(if applicable) or using O-button and navigating the menu that way. Here are
the orders that'll be encountered.
MAIN DIRECTIVES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
• TEAM ----- Affects all AI-controlled seals
• ABLE ----- Affects Boomer (Kahuna's teammate)
• BRAVO ---- Affects Jester and Spectre only
• ESCORTEE - Affects hostages, POWs, and the like
• SUPPORT -- Affects support vehicles (a helicopter, used in one mission)
SUBDIRECTIVES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
• AMBUSH -------- Enter and kill hostiles (at crosshairs)
• ATTACK TO ----- SEAL(s) take shot opportunities while moving to a location
• COVER AREA ---- SEAL(s) provide covering fire at Kahuna's crosshairs
• CROSSHAIRS ---- Use selected (applicable) action at Kahuna's crosshairs
• DEPLOY -------- Use satchel/grenade/etc. at directed location
• ESCORT -------- [Bravo-only] Take escortee to directed location
• FIRE AT WILL -- SEAL(s) will take all worthwhile shot opportunities
• FOLLOW -------- SEAL(s) will follow Kahuna
• HOLD FIRE ----- SEAL(s) only shoot if shot at first (or in imminent danger)
• HOLD POSITION - SEAL(s) stay put at their current area
• LEAD TO ------- SEAL(s) escort Kahuna to given location
• RUN TO -------- SEAL(s) will make a break for directed location
• STEALTH TO ---- SEAL(s) will stealthily move to directed location
Navpoints are map "landmarks" determined prior to insertion and denote useful
locations to be wary of. They appear in green on the navmap (select button)
and each letter stands for a certain sign -- going in order, they are Charlie,
Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Juliet, Romeo, X-Ray, Zulu. So, a big green "E" stands
for the location at Echo, and so on. Navpoints are used in determining parts
of tactical commands as well, such as the order [Team > Ambush > Whiskey].
VOCAL DIRECTIVES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
These use the above command pieces and can form orders that are carried out
without all the menu navigation. Directives of this type are composed of
three parts: a who, what, where -- in that order. It's not that different
from menu-driven directives, really, although there are some special vocal
commands that can be given -- see if y'can figure 'em out!
• Correct : BRAVO - ATTACK TO - WHISKEY
• Incorrect: WHISKEY - BRAVO - ATTACK TO
OTHER NOTES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
• Boomer (Able) has to watch Kahuna's back and cannot be ordered to stay put
like Bravo team can. After getting a few meters away, he'll come back to
Kahuna's area -- this is meant to be helpful but often draws the chagrin
of gamers since he's kinda clumsy and the most likely teammate to die in
the course of the game.
• On the flipside, Bravo element CAN be ordered away from Able, which comes
into play a few times and is a great tactical maneuver. For instance, they
can be ordered to move to a navpoint and provide covering fire, or can be
left in a bottleneck to prevent enemies from getting in/out.
• Some directives don't appear unless circumstances are met. For instance,
a SEAL can't deploy a grenade without having one equipped, and no one can
be ordered to open a door (breach-bang-clear) without crosshairs pointed at
the door.
MISSION FAILURE [MSSF]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Who says y'only live once? Resetting and failing missions is SOCOM lesson #1
and there's a ton of ways to be in that position. Here are the main sources
that most variants branch out of:
• Kahuna (player-controlled character) dies
• Too many teammates (3) die
• Too many escortees die (varies)
• Crucial teammate, such as a translator, dies
• Paritcular enemy(s) escapes
• SEALs do not escape certain event in time (such as in Mission #11)
Additionally, some secondary objectives can fail without forcing a game over.
These are mostly stealth-based missions, such as getting to 'x' without foes
being alerted.
TIPS N' TRICKS [TPST]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
• Abuse the camera and the L/R buttons on the d-pad in order to identify the
insurgents around corners, before they spot the player.
• A character's stance determines how well shots are fired while zoomed-in,
just like in reality. Standing straight up and trying results in a shaky
hand, while laying on one's belly (prone) results in a steadier hand. The
quicker compromise of crouching is great, too. [For rapid-fire weapons,
they can work well if not zoomed-in all the way -- their aim will be nigh
perfect.]
• Maintaining a good stealth and maintaining a good teamwork rating go hand
in hand. If you have poor stealth, the enemy sees the SEALs more often
and has a better likelihood of wounding. Unless you're some kind of pro
who likes sneaking up on everyone, bringing in a primary weapon that has
LOW VOLUME is incredibly important.
• Weapon versatility is good battlefield policy. Since each squad's composed
of a two-man crew, distribute, say, a silenced sniper rifle and a silenced
assault rifle to have all fields covered. If you've ever tried to do near-
-range shooting with a sniper rifle, it's pretty crappy -- even a sidearm
can function better! This is especially important for Able squad since
Jester CANNOT be left behind on missions; this ain't a one-man show like
in Metal Gear Solid.
• If the tacmap marks a specific route to the destination [it will be in a
green line], this is not necessarily the route to take. Feel free to dink
around by learning the enemy patrols and nests before committing to a
certain strategy. For me, on each new mission, I would bring a powerful
gun and run around to learn the lay of the land and what to expect -- it
helps!
• Tactical reloading -- that is, putting in a fresh magazine when no enemies
are nearby in order to avoid reloading when they are -- is a great tactic
no matter which shooter someone's playing. Using this can prevent a lame
death in some of the later, ammo-consuming levels.
• Playing lots of shooter games has probably made players cultivate their
precision shooting skills -- however, they're not QUITE needed here. When a
foe is spotted, there is a "red box" around them, belying their location.
Shooting at this box counts as a hit on the foe (generally) and is a good
way to avoid having to snipe foes. This tactic works best with rapid-firing
weapons, of course -- if y'have a snipe, y'might as well just snipe.
• Maintaining perfect stealth is near-difficult due to player messups, the
computer AI's messups, glitches, etc. If someone sees you, it's not the
end of the world! Only the end-mission rating matters, and even with
poor stealth, an 'A' rating can be achieved if the other areas pick up all
the slack.
• Enemies will almost always carry rapid-fire rifles or machine-guns, which
is why sniping, especially in the late game, can be a horrible way to get
through. When a map has lots of close-quarters fighting, having a silenced
rifle/machine-gun yourself is best (the silencing helps improve accuracy &
the stealth rating). _________________________

=== WALKTHROUGH IS WRITTEN FOR DEFAULT DIFFICULTY! ===
Mission: You'll be swimming to the barge, gathering intel, and scuttling the
ship. The darkness of night will keep you undetected as long as you
don't make too much noise. These former Spetznaz are not likely to
welcome visitors. The Russian government is supportive of our intent
to stop these terrorists, but they've given us little information
about specific men. Any information you can gather on these
terrorists will be extremely helpful.

- Dispatch Guard
[2] Disable the terrorists' communications
- Recon Sentries
- Reach Freighter
- Eavesdrop for Intel
[3] Gather intel
[4] Scuttle the freighter
- Plant Charges
Weapons: HK5 SD [submachine gun] --- [RECOMMENDED]

_______________________________
|OBJECTIVE 1: Disable the Barge |
| : Dispatch Guard |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The team starts on a cargo barge alongside the inert freighter. The HQ lady
gives tips on how to proceed: order Bravo to hold position and wait for 1
of the 2 guards in front of the gangplank to move away -- then stealthy kill
the one left behind. Moving bodies into less-traveled, shadowy places helps
preserve stealth but it's important to know that a lot of the times, killing
targets systematically avoids having to do this lengthy process. [Pressing up
twice on the d-pad will use the night vision goggles (NVG) to easily identify
human targets, also.]
• It's possible to get a dual headshot on the two guards, by letting the
bullet pass through one's noggin and into the other's. This setup can be
done right at the start. [Dispatch Guard secondary objective obtained when
first pair is killed.]
• Shooting out the lights seems like a good idea here, but in actuality, it
just tips off all outdoors enemies that something's wrong and will screw
things up, most likely. Avoid doing this, as it can ruin some secondary
objectives! [Remember that a low profile helps a lot here...]
• Running around makes a lot of noise, and can ruin stealth if guards are
nearby. "Stealth walk" around or you'll regret it.
With the first two terrorists killed, there will be a "Black Marketeer" foe
standing on the barge's weather deck. Most of his body is hidden by the angle
and railing, but by standing back far enough, and employing precision aiming,
he can be taken out (headshot) without approaching the gangplank. Do this
early to avoid trouble later.
Approaching the south side of the barge gives a li'l scene with the other pair
of guards. After awhile, the two split up to patrol. One goes to the SW side
to barf, making him an easy target since his back's to the north and he's
standing under a giant floodlight. The other goes to the SW side, between a
crate stack, and his back's also to the north.
_____________________________
|OBJECTIVE 2: Recon Sentries |
| : Reach Freighter |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are three sentries: one on the south end, one on the weather deck, and
one on the northmost end. However, the weather deck sentry should already've
been killed (he isn't reconned if a headshot is gotten in above method, but
it doesn't affect completion of this objective). Recon is done by using NVG
and aiming at the two guys. The black marketeers have raincoats on so it's an
easy thing to see.
If one reaches the freighter without being seen, the appropriate secondary
objective is obtained.
__________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Eavesdrop for Intel |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If no one is aware of the SEALs infiltration, and all enemies in the area
have been taken out, there will be three people talking on the weather deck,
who were previously not within gunfire range. At the gangplank's top, crawl
to the spot by some crates and the eavesdropping scene automatically takes
place. [Shooting out the lights before this prevents it from happening.]
• When the three people split up, one goes to the freighter's SW side, the
Iron Leader goes to the SE side, and a sentry stays up on the west-central
part of the weather deck. This means that the leader passes right by the
crates and can be killed, and so can the sentry.
• There are now three other enemies that can be found in the tiny cabins by
the SE and SW stairways, which lead to the bridge. Shooting out any lights
or walls will make loud noises that rouse 'em from their sleep, and they'll
come out and see what the ruckus is. They can be killed rather easily in
this manner, if the team's hidden itself (the crates are good).
_____________________________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Disable the Terrorists' Communications |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Approaching the bridge on the freighter's south side will cue a small tip
that there are two enemies inside, and it may be prudent to wait for one to
go patrolling. Typically, right after this one, one DOES go patrolling, and
exits on the side the player-controlled SEAL is standing by. Wait for him to
descend and ambush him! It helps to shoot perpendicular to the walls because,
as said, loud noises reverberate here and may attract unwanted attention. The
remaining guard is oblivious to the team and can die easily. The radio the
terrorists use is the green thing, and can be shut off or destroyed by a
bullet.
• Shooting the radio may seem like overkill, but later on, this can actually
be a helpful way to take out communications without putting oneself into
harm's way (this works in the penultimate mission too).
____________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Collect Intel |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now it's time to go belowdecks and find some intel. Move north across the
weather deck to the dual stairways. Carefully creep downwards and use the
camera POV to see if there's any enemies nearby. Often, two foes walk around
the stairways' adjoining room and may emerge, so there's no need to jump out
into the open. Take out both of them.
Downstairs again (either way), spy the room with the eye-burning red light
shining through. Once again use the camera POV to peek around the edge and
see two guards standing around. When one goes to patrol the next-door room,
kill the remaining one, then the former.
• Not killing either quickly or efficiently enough may alert one of the
terrorists into coming into the room. He'll start yelling in Russian so
it's easy to know if this is happening. [Shoot out the red lights if you
want an easier time, maybe?]
The room next to the red-light hallway has a lot of crates, but no further
enemies. A SE stack has an "Iron Manifesto" to pick up; however, this alone
does not complete the intel-gathering task!
Creep further south, to a room whose light pulsates due to a ventilation fan.
An enemy often comes here, but may not be aware of the SEALs intrusion, so
hold tight. [There may be another, too; the person who runs to the red-light
room might come from here.]
The hallway adjacent to here is brightly-lit, and appears to have a white
glow due to that. An enemy may emerge from the eastern door (heading south),
and can make an easy target, too. That very room contains a ledger, which'll
complete the objective, once taken.
____________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Scuttle the Freighter |
| : Plant Charges |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
So, the team worked its way north-to-south and collected the intel, huh? Good
work. Check out the rest of the southern hallway and see if any foes are
there, perhaps using the two mini-stairs that overlook the southernmost room
to avoid detection. No enemies left? Then it's time to place charges.
Return to the red-light room and place satchels at the three panels. The
player-controlled character can do one, but has to order a subordinate to
place the other. This is done by pointing at the correct location and saying:
Able/Bravo > Deploy > Satchel. When both are placed, it's time to finish the
mission -- exit the barge and see the boom.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Mission: Good work on that barge, team. Luckily, this next mission won't be
such a wet one. As we suspected, the terrorists have established a
base in Alaska. We need you to gather information on their
activities, detain one captive for questioning, preferably Kola
Petrenko, and send a clear message to these trespassers. The United
States does not sanction terrorist activities on her soil, and while
Alaska may be cold, it is still part of the US. Systematically
destroy the terrorists' weapon and supply caches. Good luck, team.

__________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 1: Bravo to Charlie |
| : Neutralize Sentry |
| : Insert into Mission |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first minor objectives can be done rather easily. First, order everyone
to point Charlie (doesn't have to be just Bravo). Once there, get on the roof
and see NW sentry approaching the abandoned house. His normal path is to
walk to the inside, stand for a bit, then turn around -- the large roof hole
provides a bird's-eye sniping point.
• Ordering everyone to Charlie is the only way to complete that appropriate
objective. Everyone just walking there normally doesn't work, and killing
the sentry first secures that objective's failure, too.
With the sentry gone, it's time to move to Delta, which is up the eastern
ridge. There is one gunman walking a footpath there and can be shot (or at
least spotted) from the defunct house's roof. Either way, it's in the way
and has to be neutralized to climb the escarpment leading toward Delta.
To insert into the mission, reach point Echo. There will be a guard walking
right by that area but can be dispatched without too much effort.
_________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Secure Cabin |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In order to fully do a surprise secondary objective in a bit, the cabin has
to be secured first. From point Echo, this means a southwestern treck past
the "Shed" to the Cabin. Order Bravo to hold position at Echo (or order them
back to Charlie, so they don't cut across the hostile compound later).
First off, the Shed. There is one guard inside and he'll come out, oblivious
to his impending death (hopefully). He may be spooked if he sees a SEAL from
his window, so perhaps wait at Echo and kill him on his doorstep, rather
than jumping down for a better look. The shed itself is nothing of importance
which is why it's not listed as an objective.
• If you see a sentry in-between the shed and cabin, feel free to take him
out. He's never startled the enemy in any file I've ever gone through.
Approaching the cabin, there are two outdoor sentries: one by the southern
road alongside the frozen river, and one near point Romeo, which is on the
frozen river. Take these two out silently! This just leaves the cabin's one
occupant. The structure has plenty of windows to steathily identify and take
out the baddie, so this should be a rather simple task.
• There's an outhouse near the cabin, too. Perhaps the terrorist leaves to
visit...?
With the cabin cleared, return to point Echo.
_________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 1: Obtain Intel |
| : Bravo Cover Dredge |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Looking at the navmap, the plotted path is to reach point Foxtrot from Echo,
which is done by going the eastern route -- arcing around the generator shed
and reaching the dredge.
• From Point Echo, you can probably see a patrolman walking by the lodge.
This easy kill is just fine, although if y'see another terrorist near the
upcoming dredge, shooting him can alert the others.
• There may or may not be a sniper on the hill north from Echo, so always
scan before continuing.
The dredge is a large mining building. The eastern approach is the best one,
giving a vantage to shoot foes in the south and east, and also line of sight
with the lower interior where foes may walk. Use the evergreens for cover as
it's about the only thing those black vests will blend in with.
Approaching the dredge will add an additional objective: Bravo Cover Dredge.
This is done by ordering the Bravo team to move (read: stealth) to Zulu. This
is helpful in a little while, although it can totally screw everything up if
the Cabin wasn't secured before. [Perhaps order Bravo to fire at will en
route, as there may be another patrolman along that route.]
Now, entering the dredge! It has entrances in each cardinal direction, but
the best way seems to be the north or west area. There are two sentries on
the lower interior floor, and there's machinery there that separates 'em most
of the time (so no body-moving required). Kill both when their backs are
turned and try to go upstairs.
One hundred percent of the time, the alarm goes off and there'll be a 2:30
timer to collect the laptop's data before it's destroyed. The mid-level tier
has one sentry and the upper has two. As per usual, when going up a staircase
or ramp, try to get a look around first with the camera POV so y'don't walk
into an ambush. With all foes dead, the timer ends and the laptop can safely
be taken. [Shut off that pesky alarm, too!]
Trying to leave the dredge after getting the intel kickstarts a firefight
event, where a lot of enemies bumrush the facility. If Bravo's at Zulu, tell
the team to fire at will, then take cover inside the dredge, perhaps using
the tin awning as a sniping point. [Cover Bravo team a bit too, as even with
forewarning they may get shot up a bit.]
__________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Secure Compound |
| : Secure Lodge |
| : Secure Mining House |
| : Secure Pincushion |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With the intel gathered, and Cabin/Shed secure, now it's time to snatch the
terrorist betrayer Pincushion. However, as with most hostage situations, it
helps to not have a ton of enemies to wade through, so that's the last house
that'll be searched.
• Disabling the generator will shut off power to all facilities, so that's
always a good idea.
The Lodge is nearest, so that's first up. There will be three people inside,
and even though there's only one window there, they often come out (perhaps
on suspicion of the generator). Going around back works well as it baits the
team into a pincer attack. With everyone still in "fire at will" mode, watch
the team's back for any terrorist that tries to shoot 'em, then circle around
and get the others, if they're still alive. Search inside to secure the place.
With all the other tiny houses already searched, this just leaves the mining
house as the last target. Pincushion is the only terrorist dressed in weird
clothes and gives up on sight, so not only does one have to avoid shooting
him, he must be protected from the other foes. HOWEVER, if the walkthrough's
been done in the suggested order, Pincushion will be by his lonesome, all
the other terrorists having left to fight at the dredge.
Securing Pincushion may cue a few Brotherhood reinforcements to arrive, so
to protect the captive, hole up inside the mining house and have the team
watch all doorways/windows. Alternatively just order Bravo to stay put with
Pincushion, although you know how quick those guys are(n't)...
______________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Destroy Weapons |
| OBJECTIVE 4: Extract Captive |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Either way, the enemy's caches must be destroyed before extraction. There's
a huge stack near the lodge, shed, and mining house. Kahuna has mandatory C4
for this very purpose, so place the charges (they have set fuses so don't let
any allies get caught in the blast) and return to get Pincushion. If no foes
came as reinforcements, or they did and were rebuffed, then it's just a
pleasant walk to Zulu to end the mission.
• There MAY be one final enemy by the frozen river, near the extraction
point, so make sure to survey the area (he may be crouching) before the
captive is put in harm's way.

_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Mission: The oil platform is not a pleasant place. The weather is harsh and
unforgiving so you should expect low visibility. The actual buildings
are sparse and claustrophobic. The Brotherhood has had time to
completely overrun the pltaform. Don't underestimate these men.
You've defeated them twice and certainly they are feeling the
pressure. The Brotherhood is cornered and dangerous. Work quickly:
innocent lives are at stake.

It's important to know that some sentries carry radios, and their commander
will force a "roll call" every couple of minutes. Basically, if the SEALs
kill someone who's supposed to check in, the commander gets suspicious and
starts a 5:00 timer -- after which the rig blows up.

| OBJECTIVE 1: Neutralize Sentries |
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Building D |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are two sentries near the insertion point, neither of which carries a
radio. Enter Building D nearby to secure it (no foes inside).

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now for the hard part. The most prudent way to do this mission is supreme
stealth, disarming all bombs to cut the terrorists' threats off at the knees,
then doing the other missions. As y'know, being identified by an enemy starts
the 5:00 timer, so one has to be very careful in proceeding. Here's my way
to get through.
First, behind Building D is a stairway leading to a maintenance tunnel, free
of enemy involvement. However, the one sentry near Building D can still see
the team through the walkway if they're not quick in proceeding.
• Bravo's presence complicates things here, so it's recommended to hide 'em
near the start and do most of this mission with Able.
• This part will NOT follow the advised route on the navmap, which cuts
right through the sentries and snipers.
Able starts near Building D in the SW. Ignore everyone and follow the railing
SW, until a stairway down is found behind said building.
• A guard will stand by maintenance tunnel stairway, and when he starts
walking east, that's the cue to run down the stairs. Also, snipers can be
identified from here, if y'wanted to be safe about it.
Down the stairway is a maintenance tunnel with no foes inside, and its exit
is right near point Echo. If done right, there'll be a radio transmission
from "Spectrum" asking his subordinates to check in. Beeping's probably heard
around this point -- the bombs are right overhead! Go into the snowy wind and
go south to the zig-zag stairway, and up to the large cylindrical oil drums.
There are some bombs here, but if no one's detected the party, don't be hasty
and rush to defuse 'em just yet!
• The IDENTIFY SNIPERS objective can be done here. There is one sniper on
an oil drum's walkway (the one that doesn't have a bomb) and one on the
walkway just northwest of there. Identifying snipers is done by spying
them with a zoomed-in gun lens. At least one sniper must be properly
"identified" to get the objective completion. CLEAN INSERTION is obtained
by killing the maintenance tunnel guard, so avoid doing that for now as
it'll be accomplished later.
With the snipers nearby gone, it's time to disarm the bomb!
• The best way to do this is to have Boomer disarm the bombs while Kahuna
keeps watch. Disarm the bomb near the lower sniper first, since it doesn't
cue any sentries' presence. Disable the oil drum bomb secondly, as it DOES
cue a sentry's presence. This sentry comes from the building near the
zig-zag stairway, and he may be accompanied by the terrorist codenamed
"Green" -- he has a radio. But don't be startled -- only the generic
terrorist patrols; the other goes back inside.
• If waiting on the patrolman seems lame and you don't want to do it, it's
possible to enter the zig-zag building and kill the patrolman before ever
going to the oil drum site. Try that if things ain't working out.
When both bombs are destroyed, wipe your brow! Enter the building near the
zig-zag room, which is really a maintenance tunnel leading towards point
Zulu, where the third and final bomb is. There will always be an enemy in
the tunnel in addition to terrorist "Green" so if y'want extra time, let the
next role call occur first.
At the other end of the tunnel, the team will be near Zulu and Building E.
From the stairway here, look northwest at the oil drum and try to kill the
sniper quickly and quietly. Survey for more ground foes before ordering
Boomer to disarm the bomb (he'll probably be lagging behind, but that's not
too important). Since this is the last bomb and the time limit won't matter
anymore, Kahuna should setup a vantage point that covers Building E's stair-
-side door and the south side of that building -- this catches any incoming
enemy within view.
• The fallen terrorist supposed to check in will probably alert the others
around this point, so be on guard! Be aware of any additional enemies who
may come around Building E's north side!
• Boomer may occasionally get "stuck" inside the tunnel. If this happens,
order team to follow, then reorder Bravo to stay put. I dunno why this
happens, but it's very annoying and wastes precious disarming time!
Disarming all bombs means any enemy can now be killed without compunction.
Hooray for death! This is a good chance to get CLEAN INSERTION as well.

| OBJECTIVE 2: Locate Oil Workers |
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Building E |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
They're inside a locked room in Building E, which should be clear by now. If
it isn't, kill the enemy who patrols the hallway and then the two enemies by
the western door (they're often on either side).
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Building C |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Building C is nearby as well. Enter via the north door and snipe the captain
who's been issuing radio check-ins. This should start some enemies yelling,
which betrays their positions. One enemy often comes in through the west
door and should run right into Able's crossfire. This leaves two more foes:
one in the northern barracks, one in the southern bathroom. Both guard an
oil worker so watch your fire!
__________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Oil Platform |
| : Secure Helipad |
| : Secure Building A |
| : Secure Building B |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are now three final places remaining: two buildings and a helipad. The
latter is closest and easiest. Basically two people are standing central and
facing the only stairway up. The safest way to take care of them is getting
on top of Building D nearby (y'know, the one with the zig-zag stairway) and
sniping them across the way. In fact, both can be killed with one bullet --
very funny indeed. The helipad is only secure once visited, however.
• If you have not gotten the CLEAN INSERTION objective yet, and it's still
obtainable, be very careful going toward Building A/B so you don't ruin
it. [The only people left should be the two radio-holders, and only Blue,
the one near the Building D needs to be killed to achieve this.]
Building B has two enemies inside its tiny room, and if the doors are open,
they're expecting someone. Pop into sight and remove them from the mortal
coil, or lob a grenade and watch the fireworks. Building A has just one
chap, at the bottom of a stairway. Shouldn't be that hard, although ordering
Bravo to clear it can help if Kahuna's hurting.
With all buildings clear, all objectives should be as well. You win!

Mission: We have very limited information on these terrorists other than what
they call themselves, the Riddah Rouge. Until recently the Thai
Government described them as a gang of thugs. Then they discovered
that Sudarak Thongkon was the group's leader. Thongkon has been
on their most wanted list for years and has a rap sheet crowded with
murders, kidnappings and robberies. He is best described as
Thailand's public enemy number one. With biological warfare data in
his possession, Thongkon has now become an internationally wanted
terrorist. The Thai government is very supportive of our efforts to
stop the Riddah Rouge.

___________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 1: Secure Outer Island |
| : Insert Via River |
| : Eavesdrop for Intel |
| : Eliminate Sentries |
| : Search Hut for Intel |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The team starts in the southern part of the river, near the "Outer Island"
on the navmap. Right at the start, shoot the sentry on the small cliff
overlooking the team. Going around the eastern side of the map reveals hide
spots, basically giant clumps of grass that perfectly mesh with camouflage.
• Most of the sub-objectives are stealth-based, and can fail if the enemy
sees the team or hears them in a given proximity. Try to be stealthy and
take out foes from afar, so as not to nix the eavesdropping portion.
Besides the initial sentry killed, Outer Island has two walking the beat and
two foes talking in the hut. Once all sentries are murdered in cold blood,
stealthily walk under the hut to listen in on the lengthy conversation.
• Sometimes the guard closest to the window turns around momentarily to look
out, and can spoil a naked approach to the hut's underside. This can be
avoided by hiding in the water and coming in through the east; or, just
waiting for his back to turn and proceeding. Once the conversation starts
there should be no holdups...but if there is, consider making Bravo wait
somewhere to avoid noisy traffic.
• Also, this is one of the few times when the team can shoot through walls!
The hut's wicker siding does little to stop live rounds.
And finally, kill the two hut guerillas in your preferred fashion: sniping
both through the window, bumrushing, lobbing a grenade, etc. There's an intel
folder inside that has to be taken as well.
Before going to the largest island, it's prudent to eliminate hostiles on
the three tiny islands where the navpoints are, all of which have two fixed
foes patrolling that general area. However, each of the three islands has a
roving patrol of three soldiers as well, who run through the waters in a
pack.
• The roving patrols can really perforate the stealth rating, so it pays to
make them come to the player, particularly where camouflage is to be had.
This means that it's best to snipe the guard on "Echo Island" and run back
to "Delta Island," where there's cover. [Ordering the rest of the team to
fire at will can help as they may identify the foes before Kahuna.] Beware
of patrols that may split up somewhat.
• If any enemies fire their gun, the others will be alerted to the team's
presence. However, to avoid exacerbating the stealth ranking's problem,
survey the far-off waters because, a lot of the time, foes in the north
islands will run south to see what the problem is.
• Should this island sweep be too annoying, it can probably be skipped --
but why leave a force of 14ish reinforcements who can pincer attack the
team once on the main island? The above snipe-n'-camouflage strategy is
great, and ordering Bravo to hang loose somewhere else works too (a big
unit can't fit that well in camouflage, naturally).
___________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Prevent Enemy Escape |
| : Bravo to Juliet |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With the outlying islands' guards toast, it's time to visit "Juliet Island,"
the biggest of all. The eastern face contains the docked speedboats, and the
point Juliet nearby. Survey the area for any stray patrols and have Bravo
stealth to said navpoint, where they can take a cover position (fire at will,
of course).
Kahuna should immediately start putting C4 charges on the boats, because if
any enemy spots the team, a 0:40s timer starts. Running down the clock does
nothing on its own, but if an enemy gets to a boat after the timer finishes,
he'll escape and ruin everything.
• A lot of enemies will rush towards the explosions when seen, so even if
Bravo's at Juliet, things can still get hectic. If "Juliet Island" is
approached and no enemies have caught on, it's not a bad idea to clear
the hut near the boat and the southern island, which itself has two foes
behind a stone barricade (this is near the 2nd unused dock).
Destroying both boats will prevent the enemy's escape, and "lock in" the
results of the Bravo to Juliet sub-objective (if it's done, good; if it's
not, can't do it any longer).
__________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Main Complex |
| : Clear Hut One |
| : Clear Hut Two |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With the boats out of commission, it's time to clear the two huts nearby.
How this goes depends on the foes killed in the previous portion, but in
general, there's a few patrolman around this area, either by Hut Two or in
a course on the road west of the boats.
Hut Two is the smallest, just a stilted one-roomer as has been seen before.
There's usually a guy in here, although if Bravo went to Juliet before, he'll
almost certainly be dead (and any patrolmen in the area as well).
Hut One is made up of two adjoining huts, meaning people might be hiding
inside. Bravo should be ordered to navpoint Whiskey (fire at will, still)
in case any ground troops tries to get the jump on Able. Despite having heard
the explosions earlier, there's probably a few troops who haven't left -- and
they're expecting company! Rather than burst in the door, crawl/stealth to a
window and pop 'em from there. Use the camera POV to "see around corners,"
like usual.
• The SECURE THE MAIN COMPLEX objective remains incomplete unless all foes
in the complex, boat, and southern island region are killed, in addition
to the normal sub-objectives. Stragglers may be on the aforementioned
south island, the hut near the boat, or crouching on the docks themselves
(this frequently happens to me).
_______________________________
| OBJECTIVE 4: Reclaim Bio Data |
| : Breach Final Hut |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
On the northern tip of "Juliet Island" is the Final Hut, where the Bio Data
is kept. There is one guard crouching down in anticipation, but he moves
around a bit, too, if you're patient. The team must breach-bang-clear the
hut in order to do the breaching properly.
• Killing the guard normally fails this objective.
___________________________
| OBJECTIVE 5: Move to Zulu |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Zulu is on the northernmost island, a tiny one barely large enough to hold
the extraction zone. HQ will ring in to say there's hostile movement around
there, and sure enough, there's a roving patrol cutting south through the
water. There's enough time to find a thicket to hide in, or just order the
team to fire at will and kill everyone Rambo-style. The island, which has a
few weapons crates, has two sentries as well, so keep yer eyes peeled!

Mission: At this point, we're primarily concerned with the retrieval of
Ambassador Ness and his wife. We can't expect civility from Thongkon
or his men so we need to work quickly. The Thai government is willing</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
to pay the Riddah Rouge to avoid an international incident. But
paying that ransom money will give Thongkon everything he needs to
mass-produce a virulent agent that could kill tens of thousands.
Like many ruined temples in Thailand, the wat at Hohn Kaen is a
collection of crumbling buildings and thick brush. The surrounding
area holds an indigenous population of rice farmers. They are
probably hiding from the now notorious Riddah Rouge, but you may be
able to gather intel from them.

| OBJECTIVE 1: Clear Insertion Area |
| : Eavesdrop on Locals |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The team starts in the south of the map, which is crater-shaped -- a pond's
in the middle and the land around it grows higher, and is of course patrolled
by guards. Before doing the subobjective, it's wise to kill all foes around
there. They are (1) an enemy directly west from hiding spot, around corner
overlooking foot path (2) two foes patrolling southern footpath (3) enemy on
a pond boat (4) baddie walking north-side pond path (5) foe inside western
fortification, who can be sniped from its window or flanked by going through
the pond and around back. Once all six are toast, the insertion is successful.
Locals are inside two stilted huts, one near the start and another near the
elevated rice paddy across the pond. Standing underneath their dwellings will
start the eavesdropping scenarios. A notification plays when the dialogue's
done, but both have to be listened to in order to get the objective done.
• Enemy gunfire spooks the locals and one can't eavesdrop on their convos.
Near point Charlie is a staircase and cobblestone footpath leading towards
the temple's front. However, proceeding judiciously pays off here -- there's
a conversation that can be overheard, signaling that the team ain't alone.
In fact, if one rushes down the road, there snipers on the arch's other side
will turn the team into swiss cheese! [Not to mention other sentries there.]
The real way to proceed is to go up the tiny hill east of the staircase and
find a hidden path leading through the arch, to the eastern ridge's terminus.
There is one kneeling soldier peering at the road who can die quickly, and
another on the north side of that knoll (go prone and crawl north to this one
or the snipers'll be notified).
From there, crawl west a little and identify the snipers on the arch above
the footpath. Take them out (while still prone), then do the same to the
lower patrolers, preferably when they're not in each other's sights. If this
is done correctly, no foe will be the wiser and the temple can be approached.
__________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Secure Flank |
| : Identify Sentries |
| : Ambush Flank Guards |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The temple front is very small and has some lit candles around, but no foes,
so long as the enemy is not notified of SEAL activities. Using the camera to
look around the corners, the temple's dual stairways open up into a massive
courtyard, and north of there is the temple proper.
Once the coast is clear, crawl outside (preferably west entrance) and use
the stairways' adjoining ledge to block the terrorists from seeing anyone.
The clear scope of their activities should visible: (1) a few Riddah will
patrol the bridge's south side (2) one patrols the north side (3) an inert
enemy kneels on the stairway north of the bridge (4) one foe, who starts in-
-between the two southern stairways, patrols north to south. Make sure to
employ the NVGs in order to kill more accurately.
• If you're not good with standing up, killing a foe, then dropping back
into crouch/prone, use the d-pad's "peekaboo" function. Pressing left or
right will make Kahuna lean in the given direction, which allows him to
shoot around corners without much danger to himself.
When the coast is clear, sweep the area for any stragglers -- particularly
along the river, where they've been hidden from view -- and go north across
the bridge to the temple. Hohn Kaen's temple's southern entrance is defunct,
and the real way to get in is through the east. And, that's where the sentries
are.
The eastern footpath (it runs north-south) has a few sentries who walk it.
There's not much camouflage cover in the way of thickets or anything, but an
old wall at least lets the player see the route in total safety. When the
four-man squad starts walking north, putting their backs to the player, use
the "peekaboo" technique to identify them and eliminate efficiently.
• If they get too far away before a good shot's there, wait for 'em to come
back around. This is because one is faster than the others and he may be
alerted if he finds his comrades dead (since he may be out of range for a
bit).
____________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Wife |
| OBJECTIVE 4: Clear Temple Area |
| OBJECTIVE 5: Helicopter Extraction |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The east entrance looks into the courtyard. Because of this, it's wise to use
the camera to see what the enemy's patrol route is like. There are three foes
who appear in a south-to-north patrol, which goes right by the upper lookout
point (i.e. where the player should be standing). There are two badguys at
the temple interior -- one in the middle sanctuary, peering southeast out of
an opening; the other patrols the middle and north sanctuaries. The easiest
way to kill them is going north to south (use NVGs).
The ambassador's wife (codename Morgan) is in the tiny altar room northwest
of the temple and is guarded by two men inside. Because there's a statue
enshrined there, it often blocks clear shots of the Riddah. Naturally, if one
is killed and not the other, it puts Morgan in danger. Thus the best way to
proceed is to crouch-walk near with NVGs on and take the two out before they
have a chance to reciprocate.
• There are two foes near Zulu: one near the doorway and on the arch above
the doorway. They can't hit the wife but can certainly alert her captors.
• If Bravo was left behind, order them to navpoint Zulu with "fire at will"
on. This assists in the upcoming firefight.
Once Morgan is finally found, she has to be secured like any other hostage.
Note that ordering her to follow kickstarts some foess to appear in the small
yard east of there (north of main temple), so if Bravo's at Zulu they'll have
a front-row seat and can cover everyone's back a bit. Naturally Morgan should
remain in the altar to avoid catching a bullet with her face or something.
• Since the enemy comes in from the east and north entrances to the temple's
inner courtyard, the ideal place to fight 'em off is by the elephant
statue near Morgan's altar. Use the peekaboo method for better aiming
opportunities of course. Cover Bravo too, or y'may lose a man.
Once Zulu's finished, order [Support > Extract] and they'll get the wifey out
of the place. Note that during this, it's a good idea to sweep the hallways
north of Zulu as there will probably be a few more Riddah in there (the NW
corner particularly). The copter will always open fire even if no foes are
there, so don't be thrown off by that.
Leave by taking the north hallway by Zulu or climbing back up the drop-down
point near the east entrance -- it doesn't matter.
• The CLEAR TEMPLE AREA objective should be completed at this time, if the
hallway north of Zulu was swept clear of enemies. If it isn't, the most
likely culprit is the inert foe in the temple hasn't been killed.
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 6: Secure Ambassador |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Back out on the eastern side of the temple complex, it's time to get the old
ambassador out of the enemy's clutches. Go north towards navpoint Foxtrot and
reach the west-turning turn. From here, the camera's POV reveals two patrols
and one sniper, on the western arch. Take them all out silently before going
further. Again, NVG helps immensely for this and the upcoming parts.
Up the twisty path, the arch leading to navpoint Whiskey has one sentry as
well. The ensuing path has tiny obstacles and outbuildings, meaning there's
plenty of places that cultivate ambushes. Set everyone to "fire at will" if
they're not at already. The first sizeable house near Whiskey has one foe
to destroy, and he can be shot through the window.
Down the road, the archway with two elephant statues has one Riddah walking
the lower cobblestone road and another on the upper, sheltered path that
overlooks that road. From this point, the path begins to slope downwards a
bit. The closest "house" to the walkway has nothing inside, but there are a
two patrolmen on the cobblestone, and one standing on top of the house where
navpoint Romeo is. [There may also be another but if "fire at will" is on,
the teammates will probably pull their weight.]
• A teammate may mention finding Arthur quickly and without causing too much
attention. This should mean doing the opposite will result in his death,
so keep a stealthy profile and try to work expediently.
Navpoint Romeo is the final step of this mission and is the large building
where Arthur is being kept. There should only be one person inside, although
he may have been tipped off if the rooftop man was shot (and presumably fell
downwards). He often bumrushes the door so the team can take him out without
too much trouble.
Following, secure Arthur and automatically end this mission.

Mission: Although the Riddah Rouge did not acquire the payoff for their

believe they are completely out of funds. They are still a threat
we must neutralize. The Riddah Rouge has established their base of
operations in the Lost City of Tongsuttaram. The ruins give them a
tactical advantage due to the crumbling buildings and dense jungle
growth. Certainly they expect an attack, so move carefully.
Thongkon is to tbe taken into custody and restraied for trial. Do
not expect him to fall easily and do not allow him to escape justice.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is the first mission where the jungle's overgrowth and poor vision will
really take a toll on the player -- in fact, it makes some parts dang near
ridiculous. However, its camouflage lends itself to both friend and foe, so
maintaining stealth should not be that difficult in the long run...it's about
seeing them before they see you!
• The ELIMINATE PATROLS objective works only via stealth. Not using the
element of surprise gives it automatic failure. The problem with this is,
occasionally, one of the enemies who's supposed to be at 'x' will be at
'y,' or a hut guard will be walking the field. Just another thing to watch
out for...
The team starts in the northwest corner of the map, along a river which runs
east. Stealthily approach the hut up the way, which has no enemies along the
way. A good idea is to park Bravo underneath the hut and issue the "fire at
will" command, which lets their AI-enhanced skills kill any approaching
patrolmen. The two men in the hut typically stay put, along one may leave if
he hears any weird noises. They can be killed from the knoll opposite the
hut's doorway, among other ways.
Stick with the southern ridge and move east, using NVG to survey the jungle.
Toward one of the larger ponds, is a hut with a Riddah inside (he looks out
the west window periodically). There's one patrolman on each side of this
hut: one goes eastward, one goes westward.
• Killing a Riddah without first seeing him in NVG messes up the ID PATROLS
WITH NVG sub-objective. An example of what not to do is seeing the enemy
with the red brackets around him and firing that way. [It probably doesn't
need to be said, but a patrolman is someone out wandering in the jungle --
a person in a hut doesn't count towards this objective.]
When all foes are dead, reaching navpoint Charlie successfully completes the
RECON INSERTION AREA requirement. This is done by moving not being seen (or,
rather, shot at) by the foes.
_______________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Secure Riverbank |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Past Charlie is the riverbank and, as one'd expect, it's Camouflage City. The
enemies within are mostly inert and waiting for the team to stumble into view,
so extra caution should be employed here. There are five enemies to kill here:
1) In the riverside hut [may be patrolling]
2) Patroling the pond area south of here
3) Kneeling south of pond in a thicket
4) On SE side of the large boulder, looking at pond area
5) Kneeling in a thicket near #1's ramp entrance
A few of these guys are hard to spot 'less y'know where they are, so use the
"search around for red brackets" strategy to find them in the thickets. [Or,
if Aim Assist isn't on, the same strategy applies but no red brackets appear,
just the foe's name.]
• Try to identify from a distance, because in this case, other enemies may
run to the corpse and see what's what. This gives the team an opportunity
to take them down as well, and doesn't foul up the objective any...as long
as the enemy's none the wiser.
• Naturally have the rest of the team nearby so they can neutralize anyone
who evades Kahuna's sights. An example of this would be scanning the
pond area where the majority of the foes are, and missing the hut person
coming down to riverside and going east towards the party.
When the five riverbankers are killed, that just completes the objective.
______________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Compound |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The absolute easiest way to do this is taking care of the x-factors first,
namely the patrolmen who can't always be accounted for and show up at very
inopportune times.
Basically, there are two compound patrolmen to take care of in this manner:
(1) at the southern tip of the riverbank is a stairway a Riddah can come
down from (2) at the compound's eastern stairs is another who patrols from
there to Delta, I believe. Take these two out!
Back at the eastern stairway, there are two more patrolmen to be mindful of:
one who walks the platform and goes around the corner towards Delta way, and
one who emerges from the Compound's center enclosure. The latter can often
be spooked if there's a body or something, so take him out fast. There's
one more guy in the enclosure who doesn't come out, so don't forget him!
The last stretch would be taking out the enemies near Delta, namely one guy
who patrols and two who stand near the ruins' campsite. Killing the patroller
will lure the others towards his corpse, and if there's enough distance
between the two, should allow Kahuna (etc.) to take them out from afar.
____________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 4: Prevent Leader Escape |
| : Restrain Leader |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With the compound secured, move to the hallway at navpoint Echo. Oftentimes
there will be a notification that "I think they're on to us, sir" that will
cue a few insurgents to rush through the tunnel towards the player. Thus, it
helps to sit tight and use the bottleneck's natural strengths -- forcing the
enemy to come out at a certain point and eliminating 'em. [The idiots will be
yelling so it's easy to know if more're coming.] The complex grounds are
through that tunnel.
The temple sits in the west and the mostly flat ruins are filled with junked
ruins and debris. Upside? Most enemies here probably ran through the tunnel
a moment ago, draining this place of its enemy presence. However, there are
still oblivious foes here, despite their brethren running off to fight -- I
counted six. Issue the [Team > Fire At Will] to ensure things go well here.
Remember to scout the temple's stairs for any enemies on it, too.
Killing generic enemies in the environs makes the next part easier, which is
subduing the leader (codename Mad Dog). When the temple's western side is
approached, he gets spooked and talks about leaving to the boats. A few more
Riddah will stream out the eastern side before the leader does himself.
• If the squads are far enough away from the eastern stairs, but still in
view, they can neutralize the leader's bodyguards efficiently and without
repercussion. Bad Dog himself will just stay put a bit before making a
break on his own.
• Securing the leader is a secondary objective, remember -- the mission does
not fail if he dies. As a failsafe, perhaps order Bravo to navpoint Echo,
which is the only route that leads to the rivers from the complex.
Subduing Mad Dog is done by stunning him with a flashbang, which makes him
give up. HQ has said that the farther he gets to the river, the less likely
he is to surrender, so it pays to take care of him immediately. Flashbangs
have short fuses, so don't bother aiming too well!
Once Thongkon is restrained, take care of any enemies on the north side of
the temple, which will probably be the only side not totally secure before
the escape event. [If it was, then it may be the flipside that needs to be
locked down.]
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 4: Infiltrate Temple |
| OBJECTIVE 5: Obtain Intel |
| : Blow Door with C4 |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Inside the temple, there should be no foes whatsoever, at least so far. To
obtain intel, look for a binder near the temple's Buddha statue, which is
across from the eastern stairway entrance. The door to be destroyed with C4
is the one on the northwest side, so Kahuna will have to take care of that.
Be careful not to get anyone caught in the blast.
• There may be foes inside the temple if the team used some supreme stealth,
but this usually won't happen except by a miracle.
_______________________________
| OBJECTIVE 6: Secure Sub-Level |
| : Contain Enemy |
| OBJECTIVE 7: Obtain Bio-Agent |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The final step of the mission is dealing with the enemies in the temple's
basement. It's worth mentioning that they have grenade launchers and many a
time has this author been blown to kingdom come by them. [Having an assault
rifle really pays off here.]
Once the door is breached, stand guard over the two stairways by there and
immediately kill anyone who comes up. Alternatively, go down the 2nd stairs
and face the hallway and kill anyone who appears.
• It probably hasn't been that important lately, but tactical reloading is
a must for these sections. Basically, switch magazines to ensure that one
never runs out of ammo in the middle of a firefight, which is especially
important against enemies who have explosive capabilities.
When the main force of the enemy is killed, the "Secure Sub-Level" portion
will be complete. What this means is there are only a few enemies left and
they're at the bottom of the next basement, and will flee down the western
hallway to a hidden boat after a given time. Perhaps the easiest way to
prevent this occurance (which is very annoying given how long this level can
be) is lobbing a grenade down to the lowest basement and then ambushing any
Riddah that survives. There's only three down there.
Finally, go over to the biohazard case and take all the agents to end this
mission with style.

Mission: The Congolese jungle is dense and isolated, making it the perfect
hiding place for illegal endeavors. Intel on the preemptive strike
mercenaries is essentially non-existent, but we can assume they are
up to no good. The Congolese government is supportive of our efforts

Because the team has a lot of mandatory equipment, make sure 2x Ammo is given

_____________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 1: Disable Communications |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This forest provides a decent place for the enemy to set up operations, but
isn't dense enough to provide a lot of cover. Either way, it'll be stupid to
walk uproad like the navmap suggests, so instead, it's recommended to take
the longer, safer way around.
• There are no NVGs for this mission, but Aim Assist can pick up some slack.
• Ordering Bravo to stay can help here, just as ordering Able to "fire at
will" can.
To start, kill the two foes by the dock, then go west towards the hilltop a
terrorist duo has planted themselves in. From the brush here, spot and kill
any normal patrol walking in between the dock's road and the western ridge --
there'll be 3-4, depending on if the insurgents know something's awry.
Slowly travel up the western ridge, keeping an eye out for anyone who may be
straggling near there. The destination is the Comm Tower, but getting there
can be a hassle -- the best way is to leapfrog from thicket to thicket, and
check for enemies in-between. [After failing enough times, a player will get
the hang of where foes patrol.] There are no other tips for traversing the
hilly terrain besides being supervigilant...no NVGs really cripples the SEALs
here!
• Should the unit bungle the silent insertion inward, HQ will radio in to
confirm it. However, just because enemies are spooked a little doesn't
mean the mission's a total failure, so don't use the restart option like
it's got a hair trigger! [It's quite possible to reach the shack even
after some foes have shot at the party.]
Once at the radio shack, there are two options to disabling communications:
(1) shoot/turn off the comm device (2) place a satchel at the tower itself,
and turn it into a hunk of flaming metal. Naturally the latter will attract
all sorts of attention and shouldn't be the first choice.
• Satchels are required toward the end of this mission too, so wasting one
here is, quite frankly, stupid. Don't forget that anyone who dies also
takes their satchel with 'em, so a player can hedge his bets by saving the
best for last (truly).
___________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Obtain Intel |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
From the radio building at Charlie, the intel building is just over the hill
at Delta. Stealthily approach a thicket and survey the area. There should be
a merc out front of the shack, plus another patrolman on the east road who
visits there. If stealth's preserved, and previous mercs walking the beat
were killed, these should be the only two outdoors. Inside is another masked
gunman who may be standing behind the open door, so before rushing in and
getting coldcocked, try to spy him (if he's there) through the west window.
The intel is sitting on a table.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With the intel pocketed, now starts the long trek to navpoint Echo, where the
munitions camp is placed. Before continuing, it pays to wait a minute and see
if any foes rush up the road and take them out first. There's also the tower
south of Delta where a sniper is, so if anyone has a rifle of their own, that
guy needs to meet his maker, too.
• The towers' best defense is a railing that protects its gunman from
upward-aiming, close-range shots -- it's just a no-go. Additionally, shots
from afar have to be rather level and that places the team farther away.
For a sniperless Kahuna, this leaves either climbing up the ladder and
killing the guy, which can result in a swift rifle butt death, or tossing
an explosive and hoping it doesn't bounce down and kill any allies. [This
happens more than you'd think!]
Down the road (SE) from Delta is a tiny mercenary mess hall. If there's any
foes, it'll probably be three -- two may have come up the road to Delta or
were patrolling the area. The 3rd is the merc chef and he'll be around there
too -- armed, of course. Show cheffy his just deserts before taking the
road further east.
• There are two roads going east: the northern one goes to the NE corner
and the southern goes to Echo. Enemies may come over the hill separating
the two, so be careful. There'll often be 2-3 "rogue" mercs whose task it
is to patrol the hills, so the sooner they're taken out, the less wild
cards to worry about.
Two mercs patrol the road near Echo, which itself is on the cusp of the
munitions camp. There's another sniper's nest here, but he can be taken out
a bit easier this time as there's elevated terrain to get a clear shot (the
best of which may be from the hill SW of there). Make sure he's properly
killed because trees and other obstacles can obscure his sights of the SEALs,
but alarm everyone else when they move in.
Once the 2nd sniper is eliminated, it's time to ambush the camp. There'll be
two around the western side on patrol, or at least visible from an elevated
hiding spot. Another will be by the crates at Foxtrot, and the final around
Juliet's stockpile. This SHOULD clear the area, unless another enemy has
climbed the sniper tower. He may throw grenades so don't be caught off guard.
• When SECURE AREA is obtained, hold off on blowing up the things just yet.
If Bravo is somewhere, regroup them to the munitions camp area, and direct
them north to the parallel road. Order them to fire at will/hold position
on that road's eastern point, which helps for the upcoming portion. [There
are 5-6 enemies near that road's hut, so take them out too if the
chance is given.]
Finally, set the satchel charges at Foxtrot and Juliet's TNT crates. Unlike
previous outings, their fuses don't start immediately so there's no reason to
strategize about the order -- it's unlikely Boomer will walk into one! [But
y'never know...] And in case someone's died, everyone mandatorily carries a
satchel.
___________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 4: Prevent Enemy Escape |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Perhaps the easiest of the objectives, it can still go south -- remember that
some folks carry grenades and that's a horrible way to go! If the enemy is to
escape, it'll take place on the road going to the northeast.
• The reason Bravo should've been parked there is to kill any would-be
escapees. There are no other exit points.
With Bravo laying down the law, this leaves Able team to work back down the
road and catch anyone who may be prepping to leave. There'll for-sure be a
sniper in the 3rd and final tower, and perhaps a few miscellaneous mercs who
have been wandering the hills. The munitions' camp explosions may be driving
them eastward, so use thickets as cover and hopefully identify them before
they can pull the pins!
Escape is prevented when all of the staging camp's enemies are killed. Yay!

| : Eliminate Mercs |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The infiltration point is the northernmost on the map, and the tiny path
winds south. There are four enemies here: a pair that patrols the road and
a pair at its end. Despite the gnarled trees, mist, and mediocre visibility
at times, this should still be child's play. Wait until the patrollers backs
are turned (easiest if using the SW rock as cover), then use the camera POV
to see where the remaining pair is looking. Pop both when their back's to the
north, and proceed in a bit to complete the section.
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Secure Entry Area |
| : Recon Sentry |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The area south of the pass is noted on the map as "Lookout Point." A few foes
can be found here: (1) a patrolman who walks along the north side of the rock
ridge (2) a sentry who stands on the north side of the rock ridge, at least
periodically (3) two guards who rush from the east wrap-around path when the
comrades die, although they're none the wiser, really. Basically, kill #1 and
identify #2 before the coup de grace, then wait in the bushes and pick off
#3-4 when they dash into view within the ensuing minute. This eliminates all
hostiles from the lookout region!
• The best vantage point is the grass looking southeast at the east-south
bifurcation. This spots any sentries coming up the road, plus the sentry
on the north face. In fact, it's so good, enemies #3-4 may appear without
being spooked. [Note that one foe may not come up the road here and may
go northwest toward the grassy knoll where the SEALs are. This surprise
can be avoided by waiting until all 3 ground sentries're at the crossroads,
then killing 'em.]
____________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure Area 2 |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The navmap notes Area 2 as the general region south of Lookout Point, which
is general lowlands. There are four enemies to take care of here: (1) one in
the western sniper's nest (2) one who patrols the road along Lookout Point's
eastern side (3) two foes who walk near the center river-fed pond.
Taking out the sniper should give top priority, also because it's one of the
easiest: use the small ridge southwest of Delta to get to a like elevation,
then eliminate. From there, it's just a matter of stealthily checking the
pond area, or perhaps giving the next priority to the east-side patrolman.
__________________________
| OBJECTIVE 4: Secure POWs |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With Area 2 out of the way, that leaves no enemies north of Delta or Echo.
The POWs' safety is top priority, but the player has a decision to make: kill
the rest of the enemies to avoid backtracking for extraction, or secure the
POWs first and take them to extraction after eliminating the remaining mercs.
I'll split this section in two depending on how a reader wants to go.
SECURING POWS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Southwest of Echo is a river with one sniper tower, one patrolling guard,
and one inert guard (hidden behind a rock formation). The sniper can be
eliminated like the one at Delta -- crawl up a ridge to get a better shot
at his head. This may or may not eliminate the patroller below, but the inert
guard stays put, waiting for an ambush. Toward the southwest corner, where
the river dies out, the cliff has some hewn climb-up points. A player knows
this is the right place because Kahuna reminds everyone about having "no stray
shots near the POWs".
The cliff road to the POW camp is simple and probably has one guard moving
toward the party (oblivious or not). There may also be 2-3 more patrolling
the exterior perimeter, including the sniper at the tower, so taking them out
is wise. [Set the team/Boomer to fire at will.]
Instead of rushing into the camp like some cheesy 80s action flick, take the
quiet route, a tiny cliff path rising above the camp and providing a great
overlook point. This should let one see the POW underneath the house and the
one being tortured by Magnus, the tee-shirted lunkhead. Kill Magnus quickly
to avoid any collateral damage. The POWs all have to be secured like hostages,
but only two of the three are here. The other one is in the caves!
• If you haven't taken out the guard tower near Foxtrot, there will be two
snipers there. Don't bring the POWs out onto the cliff road leading east
if they're there!
CLEARING FOR EXTRACTION
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The cliff road near the POW camp goes southwest to Foxtrot's area, across the
pond and to the mercs' sleeping tents. There'll be about 2-3 people here who
rush out into the open, so it's a shooting fish in a barrel for any qualified
SEAL! This leaves the area at navpoint Whiskey, which leads into the caves,
and in the opposite direction, leads up to extraction. Around the tiny house
there are four outdoors foes.
Before extraction, the final POW must be retrieved from the caves. Obviously
it's prudent to not have the POWs following, as this place can get clogged
easily and they're sitting ducks. After entering near Whiskey, there'll be
about 7 foes inside -- a couple can be killed en route to the largest cavern
where some paths branch, but most appear in said cavern as a way to flank the
team. It pays to draw them into a bottleneck, particularly the path one just
used to come in. Don't be shy about throwing grenades either as the POW to
liberate is in a dead-end down the way. That should end most hostilities, and
the team can safely extract!
• However, the extraction zone usually has a sniper overlooking the road
systems below, and it's no surprise that he'll pick off POWs if they're in
his sights. Make sure he's out of the way before he can screw things up!

Mission: Preemptive Strike is on the run. We've chased them through the jungle
and into their final hole. Their refuge's an abandoned German bunker.
Recon on this mission has been limited. The bunker in question, an
abandoned WW1 network of tunnels and pillboxes, is a potential death
trap. Make sure it's a deathtrap for the mercenaries. We've been
unable to develop any solid information on the entrenchment. Be
prepared for poor drainage, unsafe structures and poorly lit
passageways. We have no information regarding the captive marine's
status, but it is safe to assume that one way or another, he won't
live much longer in mercenary hands.

| OBJECTIVE 1: Clear Towers |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Finally, the last of these crappy mountain missions! The team starts in the
muddy southern reaches, where tiny cliffs and rocks create a maze-like path
northward (well, that may be a li'l exaggeration). Still, the poor drainage
part was right. The towers in question are up near navpoint Delta, so the
first part is getting there.
Quickly eliminate the two rope bridge guards, without them getting a shot off.
No matter how well this goes, two lower guards usually come charging through
the brush to investigate the SEALs' area. Use camouflage (and Aim Assist?)
to identify them before they do the same, and eliminate too. An oblivious
5th enemy may come south as well -- if he's alerted, he hides in the brush
and fires. [Y'won't forget him if his wrath's incurred...]
Additionally, there is a patrolling area around the large rock formation (the
circleish-shaped one on the navmap) and more enemies come south through the
pass.
• Having a hard time maintaining a good stealth rating? You and everyone
else! The problem is the enemy gets the terrain and height advantage,
not unlike a game of hide and seek. Flushing the enemy is possible by
killing someone nearby or by a loud noise. For instance, tossing a grenade
over the cliff can make those in the pass rush to the bridge area. As long
as one keeps camouflage and eliminates them efficiently, the stealth
rating shouldn't suffer too much.
• Sometimes an enemy will climb onto the rope bridge or its cliff to survey,
so don't get stuck underneath in a blindspot.
When all enemies in the south are kaput, it's time to move towards the sniper
towers. The path north actually loops in-between them, but the elevation
changes aren't so drastic as there's no shot opportunities. If the enemies
were alerted previously -- and that's a 99.9% chance -- then they'll be ready
to retaliate.
• The ideal way to do this is to silently eliminate the first sniper and,
standing at the tower's base, shoot through the foliate to kill the 2nd
sniper across the way. Aim Assist helps here since he can't see the SEALs.
The lower path towards Delta is rather uneventful, but when "strange music"
plays, put on the NVGs, get camouflaged, and kill the three terrorists who
start running down the road. Once at Delta, there's a slope that leads up to
the 2nd tower's base -- three guys can be found here.
_________________________________

| OBJECTIVE 5: Infiltrate Bunker |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
At this point, the team should be ready to proceed closer to the bunkers'
area, namely navpoint Foxtrot. There will be 4-5 guys (two snipers) to kill
here when approached, since that is where the underground tunnel's entrance
is. The snipers in question are on a rock the path wraps around and NW cliff
thicket. Make sure to watch the team's back -- even if Bravo is parked on the
west uphill slope to provide covering fire, there's still a good chance an
insurgent will flank and get some shots off. And, when it's all over, the
door at Foxtrot can't even be opened.
However, Bunker 1 is on the hill and has to be destroyed. Kahuna will have to
summon an air strike by using the Designator (mandatory "pistol" slot weapon)
while pointed at a pillbox' front. This starts a gauge that fills as long as
aim isn't broken; when it's complete, the air strike occurs. Teammates will
have to pick up the slack offense-wise during these portions, so make sure
they're ordered to "fire at will".
• The air strike is a giant explosion that can kill surrounding enemies...or
allies. If someone's in danger, break the charge!
The long NE footpath is thus the only way to proceed. Any mercs along there
will be in plain view of NVG, but there's a tiny nook halfway through that
a guy is probably hiding in. [He's actually quite mindless, as I've stood
two inches away from him without anything happening. The "battle music" will
play when he's near so that's a tipoff.]
When the bunkers are approached further, HQ radios in to say that the extra
entrance is at navpoint Zulu. Bunkers 2 and 3 are in this area, and should be
destroyed in the same method as the first.
• Some enemies who approach from the west may not register on Aim Assist or
even normal unit display, so it's important to use NVGs and identify them
visually.
The bunker at Zulu is indented on the north side of the ridge overlooking the
2nd pillbox. When neared, a few enemies' cries tip the player off that they're
readying a charge -- use NVGs to take them out quickly. Another should run
out the doorway a couple seconds after it's located, too.

Inside, the passageway leads deeper through the cliffside. It's not a bad
idea to shoot out the lights and NVG it a ways, as it puts the foe at a huge
disadvantage. Down the tunnel, use the camera POV to look around corners, and
find one gunman standing outside a chamber, which contains a stairway down to
the marine's cell. However, ignore that for now and keep the southerly route.
This lit-up tunnel will probably summon 2-3 guards from their posts, so be
ready to take 'em out. [This is to prevent them from getting behind the SEALs
in the next part.]
• There is a battery that can be switched off in an anteroom off the hallway
but it's a red herring -- the real one is actually downstairs. That's why
the objective isn't completed when it's done!
Nothing let to do now 'cept backtrack and head downstairs. A few guys will
probably bumrush upwards when this is attempted though. At the foot of the
stairs is the mesh-wire portion housing the real generator battery. Shut that
sucker off and cloak everything in utter darkness. Using the NVGs, kill the
three guards while they try to get their bearings (no chance!). The fusebox
for the marine's cell is behind the crates there.

The fusebox disables the magnetic lock to an adjacent room, also blanketed in
complete darkness. Using the NVGs, kill the three merc sentries guarding the
marine. Victory is automatically achieved when they're dead, so no extraction
rigamarole.

Mission: It is critical that we infiltrate the prison and escort our informant
to safety. He has valuable intelligence we require. We have extremely
limited information on this area. We know Maccek, Codename Mr.
Pickle, is in a dilapidated former Soviet detention center in the
mountains south of the capital city of Ashghabat. We also have very
limited information on Mr. Pickle's captors. You'll need to gather
all intel possible, as well as protecting Pickle. This is not a
pleasant facility, and they won't like you inspecting it.

| OBJECTIVE 1: Infiltrate Prison |
| : Explosive Diversion |
| : Disable Generator |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Get ready for perhaps the most annoying mission in the game! The SEALs start
in the southern reaches of the area, with the goal of making a diversion at
Charlie far around the prison's wall. However, HQ radios in to say that the
base's Hind (an attack helicopter) will return from patrol in 15:00 so it'll
be wise to get Mr. Pickle before then.
• If the team is spotted, the prison's alarm will start to blare, which will
change enemies' normal patrols and make them on edge. The alarm is tied to
the generator, though, so once that's out of the way (in a bit), there's
no danger of this. [The Explosive Diversion objective fails if the alarm
goes off, although the satchel can still be placed.]
To start, there are two sentries on the opposite side of the boulder the team
uses as cover. They can be eliminated easily, generally, with roadside shots
being the quickest way. [In the past I've been able to just run up and rifle-
-butt 'em, although that's not recommended.] Now, going onto the coverless
bridge is a huge no-no, so don't even think about it! Instead, go NE of there
to the gorge the bridge spans.
• There will be one sentry on the cliffs here, although his starting point
will change. He'll either be on the top of the southern cliff, patrolling
the bank down and west, or on the northern side, patrolling the interior
decline. Either way, a quick team should be able to take him out with no</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
problem.
• From the southern side of the gorge, use NVGs to scan the northern one.
Sometimes one can spot the annoying patrolman (mentioned below) who counts
stars, although a sniper rifle may be better suited for plugging 'im.
• It's not a bad idea to take out the bridge sentry either, since he's in a
clear spot on the north end. Shooting the lamp's light can help cover his
corpse until it disappears.
• It's not recommended, but the northern bridge strut can be climbed onto a
tiny footpath leading around to the upper west side. Guards patrol here
and use plentiful cover (knowingly or not) to avoid easy shots, and there
is a sniper to take out, too. This is mentioned as a curio, not as a real
plan of advancement.
Up the gorge's north-face road, order Bravo to stay put. There is an annoying
patrolman here who counts stars and is usually near the path's entrance: on a
cliff overlooking it, on a dune overlooking it, a little north of the dune.
He also runs to points for no reason and may catch on to the team, so it's
quite important to neutralize him before anything bad happens. [Use stealth
and the camera POV to spot his position before getting in range. If the team
heards his star-counting dialogue, that means he's on the upper cliff.]
Once he's gone, it's time to ignore the foes at the main entrance and go up
the eastern cliffs, sticking to the shadows. This path should have no baddies
patrolling (unless they were tipped off, in which case one may come from the
north) but does have two sniper towers where the wall changes course. Neither
is that hard to take out, but like everything, it's a matter of spotting them
first while maintaining cover. [Use NVGs of course.] If both sniper towers're
down, the path now weaves west.
• There is one ground sentry in this northern part who, like a foe before
him, comes into view at two random points: (1) up the path from Foxtrot's
position (2) around the west corner of the wall. Either way, he'll be
obscured until the team is on top of him, but if he's not at #1, then he's
at #2 100% of the time.
There will now be no ground troops until Charlie. However, there are two more
snipers to take care of.
• Sniper 1 is in a final tower, at the crook of a wall -- this appears as an
orange square on map. The player's best bet is to stand on a dune and get
a shot by looking SE at the tower's north window. It's also possible to
stand on the wall at Delta and use the same window, although this is a lot
riskier.
• Sniper 2 is on the armory's roof, and once Sniper 1's gone, the team will
be in his sights. He looks NE or S, and using the camera POV will show the
right time to strike. [If the alarm rang, he may enter the armory for a
while and come back out, making him a wild card. Not good!]
With all enemies out of the way, it's time to set the satchel at navpoint
Charlie. Make sure Bravo's with and park them in a corner overlooking where
the satchel is, because it'll create a hole large enough for people to move
through -- having aim at anyone who emerges is a good idea. ["Fire at will"
and all that.]
While the satchel is charging, Able team should run back to Delta, where the
pull-up point onto the wall is. Take out any guard just standing near the
center, uh, whipping post and wait for the diversion to occur. This makes all
foes automatically go to Charlie. The team can then drop in to disable the
generator, either by cutting wires (slow & risky) or dropping a grenade right
by it (fast & loud). The foes often stumble upon the wire-cutting operation
so it's wise to get it over with quickly.
• Foes here will use grenade launchers! A successful diversion makes most
(all?) stand near Charlie, which is good since the armaments are inside
the armory to begin with. However, unsuccessful diversions will make them
run east towards the whipping post's yard and they can plug Able team in
a heartbeat.
Taking out the generator is the last of the Objective 1 portions, although it
will be VERY VERY wise to jump back outside the wall, go to Charlie, and kill
any remaining grenadiers just standing around near the armory. They're all in
one place and that doesn't happen very often.
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Release Informant |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Mr. Pickle is in the cell block area (rectangle-shaped) but like all hostage
situations, it's best to clear the remaining parts of the camp before taking
him out into the open. The armory is a good place to start -- if the team
neutralized the grenadiers around the hole at Charlie like directed, there
shouldn't be anyone out in front any longer. Order everyone to fire at will
and park them on the hill at Charlie, where they can see most of the camp's
goings-on and any approaching gunmen.
• There are a few blindspots to this, most notably enemies coming up the
north side of the Armory (or rounding a corner there), plus the foes in
the armory itself. There are two: one in the downstairs portion, one in
the upstairs. Many a team has been coldcocked by the upstairs guy because
he may also be on the stairway, so be ready to shoot quickly to avoid a
lame death. [A 3rd armory grenadier ran out late from there earlier, so
he's not counted.]
• There is a map (intel) in the armory to take. If gotten before rescuing
the prisoner, it is upstairs; if done after, it's downstairs. Both are
on tables and easy to find, but doing the map thing first pays off bigtime.
When the droves of insurgents stop coming, and the Armory is safe, good.
Work south to the main gate, killing the sniper there and the one guy near
the guard booth (south side, generally, and easy to miss). Using the entrance
sniper's position can let one safely get the outdoors enemies skipped before.
• Approaching the gate gives the INFILTRATE PRISON objective completion. Why
it doesn't work when Charlie is broken through is beyond me.
• There is a gate switch here but don't bother -- it just lets the enemies
in and offers no tactical advantage prisoner- or escape-wise.
• The rectangular building west of the cell block should have zero foes at
this point, but the NE guard building might have a few. It depends on the
team's point of entry.
Following the entrance, ignore the prison block for a moment and check the
NE tower, the last remaining stronghold for enemies. If there's anyone in
there, they'll run out the front (south) door; if not, give it a once-over
and return to the cells.
Now the block only has a south entrance and there are two enemies inside, on
either side of the door. Use NVG, camera POV, and various trajectories to see
if they can be neutralized from outside. If not, there are two tiny booths
in the SW/SE corners where they may hide and wait to ambush the unassuming
SEALs. Once inside, search clink for Mr. Pickle -- there are other prisoners
as well (nonlethal, unimportant).
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Extract Informant |
| : Recon Encampment |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Once Mr. Pickle is restrained and told to follow, he'll mention his map the
guards took. This was taken to the armory earlier and should've been found,
but if not, it'll be in the empty ground-floor room. Either way, this is the
next destination since the Hind may be coming back.
• This author STRONGLY urges the team to hole up in the armory and wait for
the Hind to arrive after its 15:00 are up. Why? Because if it's not taken
out here, it shows up at the desert camp near Foxtrot where there's very
little cover and it pretty much assures the death sentence/failure.
To hole up in the armory, place Mr. Pickle in the tiny downstairs room and
have Bravo babysit in the middle of the adjoining room, where both lower
doors are in view. This is because 2-3 enemies WILL attempt to infiltrate
the armory when the Hind approaches. Kahuna should stay downstairs until
they're killed because, well, Bravo is backup -- their performance ain't
exactly A-rank and they can get themselves killed easily. Keep doors, at
all times, closed.
• Check upstairs again in case another insurgent has appeared!
The Hind itself flies around the place and can easily rip apart a SEAL who
isn't covered. This means Kahuna pretty much has to do this part by his
lonesome (although some people prefer it this way!) The easiest way to hit
the Hind is from the armory's 2F doorway. Any sniper rifle users should
make sure to pick up an AK-47 in order to deal more damage, because that
rapid-firing quality makes the most out of the chances given. Basically,
use NVGs to identify the craft, pop outside (or shoot from doorway) and
deal some damage, then hide back inside. The gun fires off 'x' number of
shots in each clip, so after listening a bit, a player can find a rhythm
to firing. The Hind smokes when it's being damaged successfully, and when
a tiny explosion is heard, it'll start moving away -- it's a prelude for
a fiery death! Ahahahahaha, die die die! Ahem...
Supposing the Hind is kaput, that signals that no one's left in the prison
camp! Make everyone (including Pickle) follow through Charlie and towards
Foxtrot, which was previously off-limits by HQ. There's no resistence en
route but just to be safe, expect the unexpected.
The geography of the northern camp is basically a lowroad flanked by various
cliffs. It's not super awesome for surveying all enemies but if anyone wants
to get northeast to Foxtrot, they'll have to come up the middle, making it an
effective bottleneck. Pickle should be stashed somewhere safe, perhaps by the
bushy cliffs -- an enemy would have to be really nearby to shoot him and that
shouldn't happen here. [Bravo can babysit if needed.]
• As a player has definitely noticed, Mr. Pickle is quite excitable and when
issued an order, he makes a loud yelling noise -- this DOES alert enemies
nearby. Unfortunately there's no way around it, so use vigilance!
Reconning the encampment is done by going to the bushy thickets and looking
around, which is hard to do with Pickle yelling. No one is likely to come up
the road from Foxtrot so hazard a chance and don't order him to do anything
for this portion. When it's done, start shooting!
• Failing to recon the encampment means there will only be a meager amount
there, and after exploring (such as the pull-up point onto the bridge),
they show up late in an ambushy sort of way. Make sure Pickle and his
bodyguards stay behind if this is the case or they'll be caught in the
crossfire.
• The Hind appears here if not defeated in the camp, and supersedes the rebel
forces event. If this happens, it's bad news -- there's not that much cover
and people die easily. There's usually a little prep time though, so hiding
Pickle in the western structure's dead-end is the best way, while Kahuna &
the others play peekaboo -- appearing momentarily to shoot at the Hind and
go back into cover. Doing this from the eastern building is a horrible
choice that'll probably result in heavy casualties, but shutting off the
generator there makes it a smidge easier to get around.
Once Kahuna/Able has swept the camp clean -- and make sure to look at all
angles as some enemies "spawn" out of nowhere -- order Pickle to follow. The
last particular obstacle is killing the bridge guard, although if this was
done prior, he won't appear (good idea!).
• If Mr. Pickle gets caught in some scenery and can't move, but there's no
enemies around, run away from him until his (H) icon marker is red, then
run back -- he'll probably be unstuck. This is how it was for me, anyway.
Move to the extraction point past the bridge to get outta this dump.

_________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 1: Insert into Cavern |
| : Disable Radio Comm |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The cavern entrance is at Foxtrot, up a large stair hugging a cliff's inner
rim. Before that, however, one must eliminate the opposition who can radio
ahead to their cohorts. Order Bravo to stay put and enter the thicket around
the corner, which gives sight of two enemies, one nearby and the other a ways
away. Take them out and keep camouflaged for about 15 seconds, which is the
time it takes for a 3rd guy to come running around the corner, bewildered.
Once he's taken out, that's half down!
Stealthily move to the clifftop thicket at navpoint Charlie. This surveys the
entire camp, and can spot a sentry (1) near Foxtrot (2) near rock formation
north of Charlie (3) by northern stairway's lower reaches (4) northeast of
Charlie, near the cliff base, with maybe just his head showing. Once all of
these guys are taken out, there is a final 7th gunman to take out -- he's
east of Charlie, behind some debris, and not staring at a wall, oblivious.
• Idiot #7 rarely (like 10% of the time) may be southeast of Charlie, so
check there briefly, too.
When all forces are neutralized, locate the radio at navpoint Delta and put
it out of commission.
________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Locate Vault |
| : Disable Generator |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Collect everyone and quietly approach Foxtrot. Use the camera to peek around
the corner, seeing if the two enemies inside are flustered. If they are,
they'll head to the door; if they aren't, take 'em out, then shoot the light
bulb inside. The (local) insurgent forces will soon know something's awry, so
stealth is easiest maintained here by staying in the dark. Order everyone to
hold position and fire at will, because quite a few enemies will come in from
the north.
• Not all enemies come out at once. They can be flushed by throwing a 'nade
usually, or by approaching the south entrance, which most are continuously
creepy towards. Just be careful that enemies from the east don't get any
potshots off!
• If Kahuna is using an assault rifle/machine gun, remember to use tactical
reloading! [That is, switching to a fresh magazine in downtime to avoid
reloading when the terrorists are bearing down.]
• When all foes are killed, turn off the generator -- this cuts light to the
tunnel leading up to "indoor pool". The southern rocky path leads outside
into a sniper's sights, but by avoiding him now, it's possible to come
around aft and catch him off his perch.
The drainage pond is connected to three branching paths, all having an enemy
presence. Like before, give the hold position/fire at will orders a little to
the west of its entrance, because when Kahuna approaches, the insurgents'll
start giving their war whoops and burst through the bottleneck. This area's
semi-drained after awhile, but the longer north path may have a few guys.
• Like all these situations, Kahuna may have to venture forward into danger
a bit and retreat, drawing any stragglers out. When he reaches the pond,
they may come from different directions (east/north) so be careful. Taking
out the lightbulbs in the area helps give extra cover.
After turning the pond into a graveyard, it's time to venture north again.
There probably won't be anyone here but expect the unexpected anyway. Up the
tunnel, it's possible to shoot the enemy's other radio (just for kicks). It's
right by the lower south entrance, and there's a generator nearby that can
turn off the area's lights.
• The generator is mostly a decoy: it doesn't turn off anything important
and typically 1-2 enemies come in from the rocky terrain south of there,
including a grenadier. Shooting out the lights before betraying cover is
a lot smarter putting the doorway to one's back! [If only one guy shows
up, the other is probably patrolling the outdoor part adjacent.]
• Only in recent plays have I noticed the generator chamber looks south and
Romeo's ledge is visible. This means one can spy it earlier than normal
and perhaps take out the sniper. [But it'll have to be a "cold" shot w/o
Aim Assist, due to how far away it is.]
With the grenadier and his pal dead, park Bravo near the lower doorway and
continue eastward to Juliet, a lookout point overlooking the outdoor dunes.
There'll probably be little ground activity here, but a sniper, in-between
Juliet and Romeo, and one at Romeo, can sometimes be seen (the latter less
likely, as he may be crouching).
That southern region Juliet/Romeo overlook contains the entrance to the
vault caves -- that wooden lower one is the real way to go in. Before doing
that, though, the southern pass leads back to the sniper (remember the one
y'were advised to ignore?), and the team can shoot him in the back; or, he
dismounts and runs forward, which is just as good.
Now, about the vault entrance with the wooden fringe. Park Bravo outside and
give 'em a "fire at will" order, then, as Kahuna, run forward a bit to bait
the event where 3 enemies storm out (although not all at once). This is a
crucial area for survival, because oftentimes they can kill someone -- Kahuna
has to protect everyone's back AND front, so to speak. [If the Romeo sniper
wasn't killed before, watch out for him too.]
• It'll be obvious when the enemies come out -- not because of cacaphonous
hollering but because there'll be a tiny cutscene where Kahuna reminds
everyone that about the nukes. That leaves about 6 seconds to get ready
(prone camouflage)!
• An alternative a player may think of is climbing up to Romeo and attacking
from above, while Bravo team waits outside. This is all sorts of wrongness
so don't do it. Mainly because (1) Bravo needs to be babysat in case they
come under fire (2) Boomer doesn't regroup by climbing to Romeo, he does
it by running through the caves like an ingrate, and will probably die
because of it.
With the three terrorists dead, everyone can safely infiltrate. Shutting off
the generator here completes the secondary objective, too. That darkness will
be put to the test when another ambush event takes place north of there. The
1-3 enemies who appear (often 3) come from that northern dirt corridor, and
run through a bottleneck to get to the chamber. If the SEALs hole up there,
it should be a cinch.
• If the enemies are given license to spread out, they could form a pincer
attack, as one guy goes to the generator chamber area and not all rush
out in one group.
With the final annoying ambush event done, everyone should move north up the
hall. The first group of boxes has no surprises but a gunman may be hiding
at the top of the next one, where the path starts to decline again -- don't
be complacent in searching around!
• If the guy behind the boxes isn't there, it's probably because he's found
a new place to roost: the boxes at the bottom of the next incline. This's
prime position since it's usually empty, so be aware!!
After the celebratory Mullah cutscene, the north route goes to the vault.
However, when it's found, the team must rush to the nukes -- it pays to bait
enemies out! Shooting lights and killing someone through the makeshift gate
can draw them out in the range of 2-4 -- it depends on where they are at the
time. [Stragglers come out if y'wait long enough.]
_______________________________
| OBJECTIVE 3: Secure the Nukes |
| : Arm Nukes |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As soon as the vault is breached, the enemy rushes to get the nukes in the
NE room. Order [Team > Ambush] to have them sweep the chambers, while Kahuna
goes after the spooked guy -- the one rushing north -- and kills him. There
will also be a sentry in the NE room, either in the NE corner by boxes or
the SE corner, in between the gate and box.
• Nukes are secured only when all enemies are killed. If the allies have
been ordered to Ambush and the NE room is clear, and the objective still
isn't finished, that means there's a straggler somewhere. Kill him before
he ruins everything -- victory tastes bitter that late in a mission.
When all enemies are killed here, the new objective of arming the nukes is
given. The arming can actually be done during the SECURE THE NUKES portion,
but the time it saves isn't worth the risk of getting shot up.
_________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 4: Move to Extraction |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
• This lengthy mission can take a toll on the firearms, and it's not unheard
of to get toward the end and have no ammo! Keep an eye on the reserves and
pick up an AK-47 if y'have to. It's better than finding someone and drawing
blanks...literally.
Arming the nukes gives a 7:00 time limit to escape to extraction, which is
the initial part of this level, near Delta/Foxtrot. HQ will radio in to say
that terrorists are closing in on the team's location, so the way back won't
be as smooth as one'd have hoped.
NVG it through the vault cave complex which should be dark as midnight, and
give the SEALs a bit of cover. Towards the generator room, five enemies will
come in/around so use a bottleneck for cover and take 'em out. [The event
ends when the "hurry!" music ends.]
Back outside near Romeo, there may be another guy just standing around but
no one else. The shortcut way is to take the south path to where the lone
sniper used to be. There will probably be a firefight here, either amongst
the rocks (good cover!) or at the dirt tunnel's entrance (bad cover!). The
final stretch is pretty easy, except for perhaps one final gunman near the
cave entrance.
Extract and watch the fireworks!

________________________________
| OBJECTIVE 2: Eliminate Fat Cat |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This mission will be the toughest so far, boasting the largest amount of
forces and an urban map that plays off it. Basically, this bombed-out city
is home turf for the guerillas, and the SEALs have to work quickly to take
out the two targets. Undoubtedly the smartest way to proceed is taking out
the big fish first, Mullah Al-Qadi, who's hiding in the western building,
a desert skyscraper if y'will. Its height gives a good vantage point to the
rest of the surrounding insurgents, so that's an added bonus.
Starting in the SE corner of the map, everyone's got their work cut out for
'em. Start by moving (everyone) westerwardly from the starting building husk,
taking out the two insurgents who always appear over a hill SW of navpoint
Echo. This southern area, on the fringe of town, is a good place to start
neutralizing insurgents from, as they stand out easy among the lighter dune
terrain, not to mention the broken walls and whatnot provide good cover.
The destination should be an wall near the lowest row of buildings' western
side (it looks like an "L" when viewed from the east). This provides cover,
and gives a vantage to the Mullah's building, plus any insurgents coming
through a tiny alley there. A few folks will come from near Echo but most
will come through said alley, plus a variety from buildings farther away --
some emerge from near the Tank, others from alleys across the street. There
is also 3-4 grenadiers in this area, who appear mostly north of the wall
(except 1-2 who show up at the angled, isolated wall west of there).
When the fighting subsides, move west to said angled, isolated wall and get
a vantage point on Mullah Al-Qadi's building's west side, where a few folks
may be around the intact walls/building base. Following their funerals, move
to the west wall of the tiny building _south_ of the "skyscraper," using the
camera to see who's coming down the alley. The folks will start screaming
gibberish at this time so there's no surprises.
Everything good? Good. Time to infiltrate the building. Enter the wall hole
on the north side and see if any stragglers are sitting around there, although
if there are, they probably number 1-3 (there may be zero even). The Mullah
is on the top floor near the south-side stairway and may try to flee by using
the wooden planks to get to the next building over...which is kinda stupid in
the long run. Never put your back to the enemy!
• This author completed the first portion in 5:44, which is respectable. If
one splits the mission's timer down the middle, that's 10:00 for each
target -- lots of leeway. Practicing the run helps improve the efficiency
of the run.

| OBJECTIVE 1: Eliminate Kitten |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The reason this was done last is because thinning the forces helps a lot --
much of the force was concentrated in the city and a bunch of level ground
is horrible for fighting everyone off. Kitten is in the building complex
on the opposite end of the city, so it's time to pick up the pace. Use Fat
Cat's building's vantage point (2F is perfect) to snipe any insurgents around
at ground level.
• Occasionally someone infiltrates and manages to use the 1st-floor stairway
to kill a teammate. Assign Bravo to hold position right there and hope they
do a good job.
Once the local area is sterilized, it's time to sweep east to Kitten's area.
The best way is the east-west street one over from navpoint Foxtrot, which
is dangerous but a lot more helpful than others at the same time. Most of
the buildings here are small, subdivided, and have windows facing the
streets -- a perfect storm for ambushers. Additionally, there are a few foes
who may use rooftops to blast grenades (this usually happens in heart of the
city), so hopefully the team's diligence back at Fat Cat's building payed off
and cleared (most of) 'em.
Like any urban warfare, meticulousness pays off in spades -- don't just run
past a building, sweep it first and continue. Although most are single-story,
some with 2Fs may have enemies left...and if they don't, they give a bird's-
-eye view to ground foes running around.
• Keep an eye on the ammo reserves, and tactical reload when needed. There
is almost no way to get through the mission without switching weapons at
some point (or rarely, finding correct ammo for silenced assault rifle),
so don't get caught with nothing in the chamber!
There is one particularly good 2F building NNW of Kitten's complex that gives
a great line of sight to their second-story gunmen, while providing cover at
the same time. There's little risk involved as well, besides one gunman there
(probably already killed) or one who yells and comes up the concrete slab that
now acts as a makeshift ramp.
After a long trek east, and slaying many insurgents, it's time to infiltrate
the final target's building. The eastern side has a few broken walls and may
collect some of the riffraff gunmen (ground level), so take care of them
first. Helpfully, most of the ground-floor walls have been knocked out, so
there's little hiding place but lots of great shot opportunities. Not
surprisingly, Kitten is on the 2F. The elevated dunes around the building
probably won't be that helpful, but by storming upwards and carefully
searching around -- there'll probably be no helpers -- he can finally be laid
to rest.
And so can this mission. And game! Congratulations!

So what's unlocked? Beating the game once (Ensign) unlocks terrorist weapons
for use, beating it twice (Lt. Junior Grade) unlocks level select, and doing
it a third time (Admiral) opens the MGL grenade launcher for use.

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQZ]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[Q] - Why don't you have any online play information?
[A] - 'Cause I've never hooked it up online, and there are in-depth guides
for that sorta thing (it's not pertinent to a campaign walkthrough)
[Q] - Is a microphone/headset required to play the game?
[A] - No. Orders can be issued through the O-button menus.
[Q] - I got the M16A2-M203 rifle but it won't fire grenades! What gives?
[A] - Grenades have to be carried as equipment items, so they take up one of
those slots (and can't be deployed like normal ones). If that's done,
the rifle's firing type has to be changed -- with L3 button -- until it
fires grenades primarily. Normal grenade launchers don't have this
problem.
