V. Characters
Sergeant (Sgt.) Ben "Mitch" Mitchell
- An ex-juvenile deliquent and drug addict, he once took a tour of duty in the
British Army during his National Service days, which helped reform him.
He then joined the British Metropolitan Police after his tour of duty ended
and he was soon recruited into the SO19 (Special Operations 19) Unit.
He became an embarassment to the entire SO19 Unit when he accidentally shot
to death an armed juvenile during a raid. Although he did shoot the armed
youth under lawful police conduct, he was forced to be suspended from
active duty by Senior Inspector Munroe. He was soon reinstated back into
the squad after two year, but he still has some mistrust from some of
his fellow operatives within the SO19 circle.
(SPOILER)
- He will soon team up with Eddie O' Connor and Sam Thompson in facing off
against Russian emigre businessman and industrialist Viktor Skobel and the
rest of the Skobel gang (a.k.a. The Thieves in Law).
Senior Inspector (Sen. Insp.) Munroe
- Commanding officer of the SO19 Unit, he once suspended Sgt. Mitchell from
active duty for at least 2 years following the said incident, but he soon
allowed him to come back to the force. Although he was a bit suspicious
of him, he soon trusted him during the renewed gang wars of 2003 and
assisted him in bringing down the gangs in order to prevent the escalation
of the feud.
(SPOILER)
- Munroe will eventually lose his life to a bomb attack in one of the safehouses
after he gets wounded in the leg while attempting to arrest one of the
kidnappers of Jackie Philips.
Constable (Cons.) Paul Evans
- One of Mitch's comrades in the SO19 Unit, he teams up with him and Munroe
during the raid on the Shoreditch Boys Club.
Constable (Cons.) Stoppard
- Another one of Mitch's comrades in the SO19 Unit, he teams up with him and
Munroe during the raid on the Shoreditch Boys Club.
VI. Weapons
* These are the only weapons that Mitch has in his arsenal.
Heckler and Koch MP5 (Maschine Pistole in German/Machine Pistol in English)
Type: Sub-Machine Gun
Capacity: 30 Rounds
Accessories: 3 MP5 SMG Clips
- The premier submachine gun of all elite special forces/counterterrorist units
from around the world, the SO19 Unit arms its operators with the MP5. Mitch
starts with this weapon as his primary weapon. It's known to be reliable
since it has a rapid firing speed and a good accuracy rate.
Tactics:
- As much as possible, conserve your MP5 bullets by using it in short, small
bursts. Fire only in full auto when you are heavily surrounded. The ROF
(Rate of Fire) would consume the bullets, so reload when you managed to
gun down an armed criminal.
Glock 17
Type: Pistol
Capacity: 19 Rounds
Accessories: 3 Glock 17 Pistol Clips
- The standard issued sidearm of the SO19, this Austrian weapon has won
the mind and hearts of various military and police forces from all over
the globe for its accuracy and reliability.
Tactics:
- As a rule of thumb, never use the Glock 17 unless if your MP5 is beginning to
run out of juice. Ammo is plentiful, so use the pistol if you want to save
your MP5 ammo or for kicks. Many thugs will use the pistol, so you'll be
lucky when you get extra ammo for this weapon.
VII. Walkthrough
Your mission is to head to the Shoreditch Boys Club in the Shoreditch district.
Right now, a gang war/massacre is taking place inside the club and some SO19
operators have responded to the gunfire inside the place and have cordoned the
entire street. So you have to drive there with your fellow SO19 officers and
Munroe ASAP.
Part I. Driving to Shoreditch
(Cutscene)
As the demo begins, Munroe debriefs you on the situation on the shootout in
the Shoreditch Boys Club. As he briefs you, you approach a Citroen C8 Van
with British Metropolitan Police markings and a police siren. He'll ask you
if you can drive there in time to the Shoreditch district.
(End of Cutscene)
When you start the level, drive out of the Holborn Police Precient's
back entrance and turn right. Activate your police siren and keep
driving without stopping for anything. If you ride is completely in a mess,
find a vehicle that would hold up to four people, like a Black Taxi Cab, a
Brabus S Class or a Mitsubishi Pajero. Do so if needed and continue on your
way.
You'll know that it's the Shoreditch Boys Club since it has brown doors and two
Vauxhall Omega Estate Squad cars covering both sides of the street with
a couple of masked SO19 operatives guarding the door. Stop the car near
the place and exit the car. Approach the door and one of the SO19
operators should head inside the building's door, commencing the raid.
Just be sure to watch for armed tangos who may try to get out of the building
alive.
Part II. Raiding the Shoreditch Boys Club
When you head up the stairs, you'll run into a gunman who will try to enter
the door to the right. If you're lucky, you might stand next to him,
which will require you to subdue him. Otherwise, fill his body with lead.
Head upstairs to the next floor and keep an eye out for the open window. A
gunman leaps out of it and will attempt to gun you down. Quickly, attack him
and hop out the window that the guy just did a while ago. Another baddie
should be on his way to your position. Gun him down before he does so and
head to the next rooftop. When you can't continue anymore. You'll see some
bad guys trying to attack you from the ground. Draw out your MP5 or your
Glock 17 and shoot them using manual aiming. Head back to the building
and continue to the last floor.
Three gunmen are engaged in a gun battle between the Collins gang and the
Skobel gang (a.k.a. The Thieves in Law) and with SO19 policemen from the
balcony area. Eliminate them, reload if needed and head to the balcony.
Use manual aim and start gunning down armed thugs at the main floor.
When everyone's down, head back to the main floor and into the area
with the boxing ring.
When you're downstairs, keep your finger ready with the R1 Button as there
are still stragglers who may finish you off as you try to investigate the
area near the boxing room. Finish them off and the dispatcher will inform
you that you have to search the rest of the rooms around the building so
that the police, both regular and SO19 officers, can ring up any thugs
left alive and successfully cordon the interior off. If Mitch tells
the radio dispatcher that the room is clear, that means that you have
managed to cuff or kill any enemy personnel in each of the remaning rooms
starting from the shower room, which you will head to first.
Part III: Clearing the Shoreditch Boys Club
When you enter the hallway, watch out for a gunman hiding in the dark
hallway. Use auto aim here and pepper his body with bullets. Reload if
possible and head down the hallway. Enter the shower room at the right
and get ready to engage in a gunfight with three armed thugs. Gun them
all down and grab the first aid kit in case you're heavily damaged.
Then, head down the stairs near the shower room and Mitch's MP5 Surefire
light in the Surefire Tactical Grip will light up. Before you go down
the stair, either toss in a couple of tear gas canister/fire some shots
with your MP5 or Glock 17. In a few minutes, one of the armed felons will
emerge from the ground floor. Shoot him before he notices you and fills
you with lead instead of him. Proceed down and get ready to check all the
rooms in the ground floor area.
You'll notice three doors. One in front, another leading to the basement
and another to the backyard. To start off, clear the room in front of
you by tossing in tear gas or by just entering the room and using auto
aiming to hunt down the enemies inside and shoot them to death. When
you leave the room, turn right and turn left down to the basement area.
But before heading to the basement area, two or three thugs might
get into a gun battle with you. When you see them, introduce them to your
pal, the MP5 and cuff any survivors (In case there are). Be careful in the
basement, two thugs await you here and one of them will fight back while
the other chooses to give up and surrender to you. Shoot at the
baddie who tries to shoot you. You can either subdue or eliminate the
other baddie here too.
* One of the gunmen will only engage you when the trash falls inside the
basement area after approaching the area near the trash chutes.
Leave the basement and head to the room in front of the basement door.
One gunman should try to fire off some shots at you. Quickly, activate
auto aim and let your MP5 rip at his body. Reload in the room, take the
MP5 on the floor and be ready to take on the opposition outside.
Before leaving the door, use manual aiming and shoot one of the gunmen
outside. When you step out, use automatic aiming and give a bullet to
Jimmer Collins, who'll try to get away. Ignore him and shoot the other
gunman near the garden area. Afterwards, reload if so and be ready to
secure the empty lot, which is only accessible by going through an
arch doorway. Problem is that a massive force of armed tangos have
taken up strategic positions in order to hinder your progress. Hug
the arch's wall and start shooting at the gunmen on the roof with your
MP5. Simply pop out of cover and use auto aiming at them. Use manual
aiming to detonate the propane tanks and in progress, killing anyone
who happens to stand near them.
When the area is secured, kick the door to the left side of the now
secured empty lot. Then look at Mitch's left. You'll see a puddle of
oil on the ground and you may see a keyring on it. If you do see it,
then walk over it so's Mitch can take it in his possesion. Otherwise,
start retracing your steps and head outside the lot and go straight.
You'll soon catch up with Jimmer.
Part IV: Letting the rat slip
Jimmer climbs over the wall since the door is locked. Mitch arrives,
but not before Jimmer gets ready to hop over the locked door. Before
he does this, he shouts that he was not involved in the massacre
inside the Shoreditch Boys Club.
Later on, Mitch and the rest of the SO19 crew that arrived on the scene
began to cordon off the entire building while checking on the dead
bodies. Mitch then looks at one of the plastered newspapers on the wall.
You'll notice that it's Eddie O' Connor, one of the main characters in
Black Monday. Munroe comments to Mitch that Eddie is a growing
celebrity within the boxing world. He then speaks with both
Stoppard and Evans, ordering them to check if there are still
hiding stragglers around.
Munroe later receives a radio report that Levi has been spotted heading
to his chop shop somewhere in London. Munroe then debriefs Mitch and
informs him to go with Stoppard ASAP in a Citroen C8 Squad Car and
bring him in alive for interrogation.
Well, that's the end of the demo then.
VII. Battle Hints
Don't try rushing into a gun battle alone.
- You're not some SAS, Delta Force or Spetsnaz operator. You don't have
the highest body armor level as Mitch takes a certain amount of
peppering from tangos before he starts bleeding. It's best if you
slowly walk and shoot any gunman that you can see with the auto
aiming system.
Know what you're using.
- Remeber that you have 30 bullets in your MP5 and 17 bullets in
your Glock 17, meaning that you have to know that going in with your
MP5 firing in full burst won't help you since ammo is scarce and you
can't pick up any weapon, which is a bad thing.
Two (Or more) heads are better than one.
- Try to team up with other SO19 operatives whenever possible. Not only
do they soak up damage and draw enemy attention to them, but it'll
have a big advantage to you since you can use sneak up on the bad
guys and either shoot them in the head, subdue them or use auto
aiming while they are kept busy.
Make good use of the environment.
- I'm frank here. You'll have the chance to see two propane gas
tanks on the roofs just before you clear the empty lot of enemies.
Use manual aiming and blast them. This'll allow to save up a
ammunition for mopping up any survivors of both propane explosions.
Sit back and let the enemy do the mopping up for you.
- Just before you enter the main boxing area, you'll see two sets
of armed tangos facing off against each other. Instead of
rushing in guns blazing, just head up to the balcony area. Most
of them will be killed..... eventually.
Use the power of tear gas.
- When you see dark rooms and you can't seem to visualize armed
bad guys, step a few inches before you enter a potentially hostile
room and toss some tear gas canisters. Try to come back later when
the smoke's clear. Be careful too, some of them may survive
the gas and may take advantage of it to await you in ambush.
Move slowly in dark areas.
- Your vision will be strictly limited in dark places, as your MP5's
Surefire Tactical Foregrip will be your guide. Watch out for hiding
enemies. They'll use the darkness and try to take potshots at you.
So be quick with your fingers and blast them in retaliation
when possible.
Tactical Reload is the best move.
- Don't just wait for your weapon's ammo capacity to run out. Reload
your weapons when your area is cleared of bad guys. You don't
want to see an enemy who'll try to shoot you while you're being
distracted in reloading your gun.
Combat Rolling is your best friend.
- Use it well. Rolling will not only help you avoid enemy gunfire,
but also assist you in getting closer to the enemy and....
killing them.
