Should a reader have a real doozy to share, send it to my e-mail and I may just stick it in here [credit and all, naturally]. • The order the mission objectives are listed in is not necessarily the best order to complete them in. Case in point: the last level. The walkthrough does not necessarily list them in the order the player HAS to do, for that matter. Experimenting is half the fun in strategy-making. • Do not bring thermal scopes to the Russian levels. Due to the extreme cold, vision will only end up being impaired. • 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. • 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. The M4A1 and SD sniper rifle have this capability and are highly suggested for normal play. • 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! • 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. _____________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ PLAYING SCREEN [PLSC] _____________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here's an example of the player's screen whilst The star symbol shown on on a battlefield map. the map indicates where the current destination's located. North is always marked on the map, and the The objective updates when completed (A)(B) mean the respective \ SEAL groups \ \ .-------------------------------------------------------.---------------------. | | CURRENT OBJECTIVE | | [*] N | | | Rendezvous with Informant | | /|\ | | '----------------------------' | | | | . | | | | | | (B) | | | (A)(B) | | |_____________________| | | | BATTLE MAP SHOWN HERE | | | | | | | | | |------------------. .-------------.-----------| | 4/8 | | SPECTER [+] | | | CURRENT GUN | | JESTER [+] | OVERWATCH | | | | WARDOG [+] | FOLLOWING | | [¯] [¯] | | VANDAL [+] | FOLLOWING | '------------------'--------------------------------'-------------'-----------' / The current gun shown here has 4 shells The names of the soldiers remaining in an 8-shell clip.

The higher the percentage, the better the team's done. Here's the breakdown on what goes into raising the numbers. STEALTH RATING ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • Stealth kills are those done by the player without the enemy aware of his presence. This includes throat-slitting/riflebutting & shooting from afar to mask one's location. The key is that the ENEMY CANNOT KNOW YOU ARE HERE. If you riflebutt someone in front of you, or shoot someone point-blank, it doesn't factor in here. It helps, but not this part. • Triggering Alarms makes this rating go down a lot, because it sets everyone on edge, even after it's ended [if possible]. Although not all levels have this function, enemies may radio in alarms, hit buttons, or in the case of the first level, ring a bell. These should be avoided at all costs, if at all possible [and on 'Guided Tour' it can be very difficult]. Getting a lot of stealth kills cushions the detriment alarms do. • Enemies' fired shots factor in, because they notify those around. However, with enough stealth kills and no alarms, these aren't as important. Still, every shot fired is a wasted stealth kill, so... ACCURACY RATING ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • Player Hit Percentage is self-explanitory, and tells whether the player is hitting anything [enemy, camera, helicopter] or missing completely. When stealth is employed, this should always be in the high 90s. • Enemies Downed by Player -- you can't let the team do all the work, 'cause Specter is the team leader. Not that you'd want to anyway, because only the player has the refined touches of stealth in the game [mostly]. • Total Enemies Downed is also self-explanitory. The more enemies killed in the infiltration, the better. Funny enough, if you kill an ally, their demise also contributes to this statistic. o_O TEAMWORK RATING ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • Anytime a teammate gets wounded or downed, the rating will suffer... To wit, this is anytime a SEAL incurs damage or gets completely 'killed' in the line of duty. • Capturing enemies will raise the ranks some. Mostly this is done through the use of flashbang [stun] grenades at which time the enemy surrenders to the SEALs. With a headset, it's possible to sneak up on enemies and make them freeze a la Metal Gear Solid. Either way suffices. MISSION COMPLETION ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • Primary objectives must be done -- they're the main mission targets. The secondary objectives OFTEN have to be done, but some can miss or fail [such as being unable to recon a patrol or killing someone who can be captured]. Bonus objectives have to be figured out by the player because they aren't listed in-game until achieved. Overall, the more mission objectives done, the better the completion rating. This should ALWAYS be 100% unless there is some problem. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) SEEDING CHAOS [MSSN][WK01] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ For the rest of the walkthrough, it will be written for 'Lieutenant' rank difficulty, which is the default and equivalent to 'normal.' --- OVERVIEW: US Special Operations Command has been called upon to assist in quelling the illegal arms trafficking of an organization known as the Sesseri Syndicate.Based in Albania, the group operates through an array of distribution networks stretching from London to Cairo. Their recent smuggling of volatile radioactive materials has sparked great concern in the United States and European Union. This has prompted American and its allies to take extended measures to ensure the syndicate's activites do not pass catastrophically potent weapons into the wrong hands. The SEALs have been given the go ahead from SOCOM to take out the Sesseri Syndicate, beginning with targeting their weapon supply caches. Our European allies will be watching, so show them how it's done. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD --- [RECOMMENDED] Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Grenade: Mark141 Grenade: AN-M8 Equipment: Double Ammo Grenade: M67 * All of fireteam carries a Satchel, meaning only one extra piece of equipment can be brought. I recommend Double Ammo, although it doesn't matter if you plan on changing weapons earlier, and being stealthy throughout. MISSION : 01) Rendezvous with Informant. 02) Recon Enemy Patrols. 03) Destroy Enemy Contraband. 04) Move to Extract. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) MEET MALLARD 02) REMAIN UNSEEN ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ NOTE: You can take enemies prisoner and still not fail 'Remain Unseen'. o_O Mallard is waiting at the old basilica up the road, and to fulfill the secondary objective, no enemies must be alerted to the presence of the team. Either the enemy will have to be taken out quietly or avoided altogether; if the syndicate fighters notice, the secondary objective fails. There's usually a moment of panic if the shots miss [depending on distance from enemy] before the SEALs are sighted. --- Anyway, the party is to head south down the road to where 'Whiskey' outlook point is. It's in the brush-covered ditch a ways further on. When reached, hold position and go prone (on stomach), waiting for the inbound syndicate patrol to come up the road. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) RUGOVA'S NAME OVERHEARD [BONUS OBJECTIVE] _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you're in or around Whiskey point when the patrolmen stop to chat, there will be a conversation cued that name-drops a General Rugova. Wait a bit for the guards to double-back and get a clear headshot opportunity. If you have situated in the east ditch, there's a great trajectory to get both headshots at the same time. --- Up the road, there will be another sentry along a hillside cobblestone path. If things have gone on-time 'til now, he'll be coming down the footpath, and will spot everyone if they're not hidden. Against the west hillside, there's a rather easy shot that plays off his blindside; he only looks straight ahead so don't miss! He's the only street-side guard here. Upon approaching the basilica, use the ruins as cover and keep track of the guards who stop and talk on the hill [about itch cream or somethin' :p]. This conversation's useless, so take them out the first chance y'get. It's quite a lot easier to surprise them when they descend and head back towards Mallard's position. From there, make a beeline to point Charlie where the informant is. Objective 2 will be completed as well if you were as quiet as church mice. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) INFILTRATE VILLAGE 05) MOVE TO DELTA 06) BONUS OBJECTIVE SAMPLE [BONUS OBJECTIVE] _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ NOTE: If any enemies spot the team here, the 'Move to Delta' part fails, and the belltower will ring, making some village guards approach down the road. Checking the map, you'll see the plan is to sneak under the guarded bridge via the river, and enter a tunnel system [not displayed on map] that gives a better vantage point to Delta, which is at the foot of an old church tower. But, first things first -- we have to take care of the surrounding guards. East of Charlie is a bunch of pillars, with a single guard walking its premises. The hillside's cover isn't that great, so don't spook him. [Objective #06 completes on its own around this time.] After taking him out, keep low [the bridge-walkers have clear line of sight] while you find the SR-25-SD snipe there. This can easily take out the two bridge guards, but it's a bit louder and they'll be attracted to the SEALs presence, searching the hillside if let loose. There's an extra guard down the road (away from the bridge) who won't bother the team, but can be taken out for good measure, too. :p --- Now, THE SNIPER here has taken out many good players and made them restart, because he's hard to find. Here's my suggestion for taking him out quickly and without danger. Hug the rock wall by the pillars, get prone, and crawl east along the hill. Do this until there's a clear shot down the bridge's length; then, move the reticle towards the NE corner of the t.v. screen. If you're close enough, a stooping sniper should be visible by a solitary tree on an inaccessible cliff ridge. With the sniper out of commission, there should be two enemies standing by the east end of the bridge. One will be standing near the pillbox (and will rush to its emplacement if alerted), while a second one crouches near some brush. IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE OUT THE PILLBOX-SIDE GUARD WITHOUT ALERTING HIS COMRADE, who always stares straight ahead. Weird oversight or incredibly stupid guard -- you make the decision. Either way, kill the bridge guard w/o compunction, please! The next road patrol is just a single person who never bothers to walk near the bridge's vicinity. You can leave the corpses in plain sight if need be without fear. If you take him out from the road, make sure he's out of the 2nd pillbox's sight as there's a guard there who'll immediately see him fall down. So, how to take out the 2nd pillbox guard? By the first pillbox, and on the other side of the bridge opposite it, is a small tunnel complex that leads up the 2nd pillbox's backdoor. The enemy here is diligent enough to watch the road, but stupid enough not to watch his aft -- kill him easily. The reward for being so sneaky is easy access to more sniper rifle ammo (or a SR-25-SD if you left the last). From there, the belltower is in sight. One sniper is up there, too, but he should have no idea about the infiltration. Pop his head (BOOYAKA!) before reaching the belltower's base stairway. Objectives 4 & 5 will be completed. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) RECON PATROL 1 _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ From the top of the stairway, crouch and look south at the nearest house. By the road there will be a patrolman (eventually). Simply look at him through the rifle scope but don't shoot him yet or you'll alert the smugglers and fail a bunch of parts to come. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 08) MOVE TO ECHO _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Point Echo is within the belltower. The lower portion has one guard who will walk out into the open, check the doorway you want to reach, then enter one of the small antechambers (blindspot). Wait until he checks the east doorway and show take 'im out. BE QUIET THIS ENTIRE TIME or your presence may become obvious. Navpoint Echo is actually on top of the church, and if you took out the foe with a sniper there earlier, there's just one left. He's in the belltower's small room, and facing the door. This buffoon periodically looks to the side, though, giving the chance to take him out. HE CANNOT BE AVOIDED, which is why this might be one of the more annoying calls for precision thus far. Killing with small-arms fire might be best. AS LONG AS HE DOES NOT FIRE ANYTHING, the objective should go fine [whether he says something or not will go unheard by his buddies, haha]. Echo is right by the entrance to the belltower, overlooking the town. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 09) RECON PATROL 2 _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It's a bit hard to see over this ledge (the heck!?) but luckily, Patrol 2 is the man walking by the defunct gas station. Easily spotted, he won't see back. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 10) MOVE TO FOXTROT _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Navpoint Foxtrot is on the other edge of the roof, probably near where the visible sniper got shot down. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 11) RECON PATROL 3 _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Look at one of the guards by the footbridge just within the town limits, or the one walking by the church. Either should suffice. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 12) PLACE SATCHELS 13) PLACE SATCHEL AT ROMEO 14) PLACE SATCHEL AT JULIET _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ NO NEED TO BE STEALTHY ANYMORE!! Point Romeo is in the gas station, and Juliet is in the small barn. First, let's take former since it's much easier to get done. From the roof, take out the patrolman walking the southern road, then move into the bell steeple to get a vantage point on the footbridge & wandering guard. When the latter is far away from the barn, neutralize him. There's a good chance that the other target doesn't notice, giving another free shot [although he will turn around eventually and get a visual on the corpse ^__^]. Now, the roaming patrol by the gas station should be eliminated. Descend the slope by the belltower en route to the giant east house with a car parked on its dirt driveway. This gives a great shot of the patrolman and the enemy in the station's garage. When the wandering gunhand turns his back, take out the sheltered guard. Like before, he shouldn't notice [depending on his distance] and leaves his back wide open. And, no, you can't blow up the station. ;___; Run around the north side of the giant house and come out on the east side by the station. Don't enter the house yet. Put an eye to the scope and spy the outlook in the barn's [point Juliet] loft. He can be taken out without any of his cohorts hearing a thing. Place a satchel at the station when it's all clear. --- Now, to take the small barn. With the goofball in the loft window having got a new cranial cavity, assaulting from the north can be done. If you still like being stealthy, crawl all the way to the barn's east side and wait by the southern window. A sentry will eventually go there and put his back to the window while he stares around. Use your pistol at this point and silence him. The other guard can be taken out from the west window in the exact same manner; or, you can open a door and achieve the same effect. To place the 2nd satchel charge, point at the weapon cache and use: Able/Bravo -> Deploy -> Satchel Jester can do it, probably. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 15) MOVE TO EXTRACTION 16) CAPTURE FOREMAN 17) OVERHEARD DELIVERY TIME [BONUS OBJECTIVE] _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Capturing the Foreman is unnecessary to finish the mission, but if you want a 100% completion rate, it'll have to be done. He's located inside the house by the car, and as the hint says, flashbang grenades will subdue him a lot easier. Dude has a shotgun which can plow into the teammates, so this part's gotta be taken seriously. If you examine the peremeter, the southern side of the house [2F] will have an open window, so the foreman's location can be pictured without entering yet. But anyway, yeah, you'll have to enter [I've tried throwing grenades through the window but it never worked]. Infiltrate the vacant ground floor, pick up a shotgun if you want [not recommended] and carefully creep up the stairs. THERE WILL BE A CUTSCENE HERE at the top of the stairs which completes the #17 objective. This may or may not take place, however -- I believe it all relates to the stealthiness of the infiltration. Also, the single guard present with the target will start moving around, and crosses into the room that passes right by the top of the stairs. If the team waits long enough, his back will turn to the stair and give an excellent shot or silent kill opportunity. Personally, I find the foreman will cooperate much easier if the delivery time was overheard, basically because they threatened to kill him. If the guard is dead under these circumstances, peek in the room so Foreman sees Specter and after a bit of talk, he will put down his weapon. Enter, restrain and lead him out of the house [point gun at him -> follow]. Extraction point is up the road from the gas station. Make sure the terrorist foreman is with, and that everyone regroups there. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) TERMINAL TRANSACTION [WK02] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now for my favorite mission in the game... OVERVIEW: Your successful demolition of terrorist supplies has severely disrupted the Sesseri Syndicate's operations. However, as long as the group's leadership remains at large, they are still a threat. SOCOM now wants to focus on gathering some additional intel on the group so that the leadership can be locate and taken out. British SAS operators, callsigns SABRE and REAVER, have been flown in to assist in the remainder of the operations by substituting for Bravo element. Command has no doubts as to your team's ability to handle the operation, but apparently it's political courtesy to allow some of our European counterparts to participate in the fun. Being as they're SAS, I'm sure they'll have no problems carrying their own weight.

MISSION : 01) Locate Guard Post. 02) Secure Factory Complex. 03) Gather Intel. 04) Move to Extract. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) LOCATE GUARD POST ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This abandoned railway yard has some enemies around, but for this portion, simply look for an open boxcar that allows passage to a west loading dock. From there, belly-crawl out until the north guardpost is identified. Locate the single sentry. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) SECURE GUARD POST ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Snipe the guard up there, first and foremost. By where the boxcars are uncoupled [the entrance into the guardhouse grounds] are two enemies that are chitchatting with each other. From that loading dock, there's an easy shot to headshots. One will be alerted if you're not careful, so operate w/ alacrity. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) INFILTRATE COMPLEX ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ From that small loading area with the propane tank, put an eye to the scope in a western direction. There's another cement platform with an enemy taking a leisurely stroll. Headshot him and wait awhile to see if another enemy comes rushing to see what happened; this gives another opportunity to get him out of the picture as well. [If a comrade's death doesn't flush him into the open, it's because he's patrolling a small part west of the propane tank, by a pile of garbage and detritus.] Either way, there's only one additional enemy in the area, who patrols the grounds north of the guardtower's vicinity. If the platform enemies are in shallow graves by this time, shooting the unsuspecting enemy is a piece of cake. [Alternatively, if you approach from the tower area, it's possible to squeeze between the tracks that run perpendicular and the wall they run parallel to, giving good cover to sneak up on him.] When all enemies are pushing up daisies, search the western extreme of the rundown area to find a gigantic culvert leading into the factory complex. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) SECURE FACTORY COMPLEX 05) RUGOVA CAPTURED [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The entire factory ground is open at this point, but if yer smart, this will be done first because it has a failable objective. First off, get out of the little culvert area and look at the high west wall of the complex. There is one enemy patrolling by a small doorway [where the General is, actually] and another that periodically walks into sight a bit lower. These two will enable the imminent skirmish, so take them out before they can do harm [or they'll probably end up sniping yer behind from seemingly nowhere]. This entire place is fenced by concrete walls, noticably. Go along the west boundary which will lead behind to an elevated backdoor. There is one sentry patrolling a pile of garbage [plain sight on concrete] and beyond, and a 2nd by the stairbottom. He may notice you or, laughably, think it's his comrade, and rush to see him -- take him out from afar for best effect. ############################################################################ If you want an easier time, take out a few guards on the west side of the factory building. One walks by a weapon's cache, two by the gateside propane tanks, and even more further south. These guys reinforce the other squad if you're not careful, so neutralize now. ############################################################################ Enter the compound in prone position [if undetected] and keep an eye out for the catwalk, where one sentry shambles along on the square-shaped part near the door; the others are all far across the place. The thermal imaging will pick them up, but if they're still 'invisible' in this darkness, put an ally on Overwatch. It's not impossible to get the pre-emptive on the general, although it's due more to weird AI than anything. When you first approach the section of the catwalk parallel to Rugova's office, one enemy will walk out on patrol. When he gets to the junction [and picks either way to walk], take him out. From there, there is one bodyguard near Rugova and stands by the window; the other is by the entrance to the office, and can be spotted through the grate with a little patience. As long as they don't see the SEAL team, Rugova follows his pattern. He carries a pump-action shotgun, so to capture him for the bonus objective, flashbang him and then bumrush [but don't shoot]. If you get near him when he's in a dazed state, he'll throw down his weapons and let Specter restrain him. NORMALLY, if you engage in a shooting match, one of the allies will take the guy out, which we don't want. =/ --- The rest of the complex is secure only when all enemies are taken care of, Rugova has been dealt with [restrained for best effect], the foes inside the locker room are finished, and the skybridge is cleared. To get the locker room enemies [the room which is located under where Rugova was hiding], get in night-vision mode and look into the three doorways below. Two will have enemies, and there'll be another by some crates near the ladder. Stealth is irrelevant at this point, so mayhap you're interested in the M36A located in that changing area? ^_____^ ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06) WEAPONS SECURED [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ On the lower floor of the factory is a weapons cache, by the garage door entrance. If you overheard the delivery time in 'Seeding Chaos', this bonus objective can be completed by approaching the items. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) GATHER INTEL 08) FIND DIGITAL CAMERA 09) FIND CONTACT LIST 10) FIND TRAINING FILM ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Before advancing over the skybridge [in southwest corner of factory's ground floor], get the Digital Camera in Rugova's office. While advancing over the building-spanning walkway, there should only be two enemies there, provided you killed the ledgewalker when first entering the factory, and the guy who was near the west side of the factory before infiltrating said building. Now, there's probably STILL one left below the skybridge; go out on the outcrop to get a good vantage. Now, this smaller building can be a little harder due to all the smaller rooms and the plentiful enemies within. It helps to have Bravo team enter from the lower door, with Specter/Jester doing the skybridge. It traps the enemies inside, and gives the player a great sniping point. There's about, let's say, 7 enemies here. Kill 'em all to secure the factory complex. BUT, for some reason, this objective does not count the two hiding on the 2F rooms of this little building. BE CAREFUL!!! A contact list is in a ground-floor room here, and a training film in one of the 2F rooms. This should complete all objectives satisfactorily. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 11) MOVE TO EXTRACTION ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Navpoint Zulu is the destination, near the propane tanks and large iron gate. If you captured Rugova, tell him to tag along before leaving. The C4 charge can be placed on the gate as soon as everyone is nearby, and Rugova's with. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) UPLAND ASSAULT [WK03] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ...and onto my least favorite mission in the game. =/ OVERVIEW: With their backs against thee wall, the Sesseri Syndicate is likely making plans to flee the region before SOCOM intercepts them. Unfortunately for the Syndicate, they won't get that opportunity. Intel has confirmed the location fo the Syndicate's leadership; they are hiding out in teh remains of the Sesseri family castle situated in the mountains. SOCOM's quick operational planning should land your fireteam there before any of the group has a chance to escape.

MISSION : 01) Neutralize or capture syndicate leadership. 02) Move to extract. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) NEUTRALIZE AIDE-DE-CAMP 02) CAPTURE AIDE-DE-CAMP ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Silly enough, this first part can be hard to do if you want to be stealthy. • There are four enemies on the road leading up to the castle: one down the first bend nearest the party [may not appear], one up the second bend, and two near the gate. One of the gatekeepers will often approach a corpse if it was not killed silently [and often is if was]. Basically, once you kill the 2nd enemy, keep an eye in the scope for the person who stumbles upon it. • Proceeding can be done two ways. One leads through the underbrush along the cliffbottom, which carries a higher position. The second goes on the lower side of the road, giving great opportunity to get close to enemies and silently kill them. Personally, I recommend doing the first on the two enemies [#2 silently], then switching off to get the gatekeepers off- -guard. The silenced pistol can kill them both without attracting unwanted attention. • The Aide-de-Camp will start up by the garage, but if you make a ruckus by alerting the guards and firefighting, he'll move [by default] to the gate, bringing his 12 gauge along for the ride. If you left Bravo team somewhere where they won't interfere [like I do], flashbang the guy and take him as a prisoner. Maybe lead him somewhere safe -- the extraction point at Zulu is a good dropoff. • Should the Aide-de-Camp remain by the house's main entrance, and all the other enemies taken out, he will be with one bodyguard, completely unseen from the front due to an obscuring wall. The best route to sneak up on them is, from the gate, go around the west wall exterior until there's another opening/climbspot on the wall by where the cars are parked. From here, it's easy to hide behind the red [squished!] for great cover, or tiptoe to the blue one that gives a better sight of what's going on. Due to the wall's odd formation, one can get dangerously close to the target and toss a grenade there. If you get it right, he'll probably give up from the surprise; if you don't, Aide-de-Camp _KILLS_ his own bodyguard and goes on the rampage. • An alternate route to getting VERY VERY close to Aide-de-Camp is actually rather easy. After clearing out all the gate guards, and ensuring that our target is still by the house entrance, go up the north road a ways -- hug the wall, crawling when possible. Eventually the height will taper off to level ground, allowing the player to crawl [still] right up to the platform above the aide and his cohort. THIS IS SUPER CLOSE, and it's just a baby drop of a grenade onto them to make both surrender. [Or, if you misfire, the bodyguard will kill the surrendering aide. =/] HOWEVER, if you didn't eavesdrop on the conversation below Aide-de-Camp's position, that cohort will not appear. When the target is restrained, he and the enemies in the parking lot will appear out of thin air and foul things up. Keep Jester in check here or he'll go up the parking lot way and get smoked [which is good normally, but we need to be shadows here.] In fact, this is probably the easiest and safest way to capture the Aide. Don't want that shotty stuck in yo' face, right? ^___^ --- It's highly recommended that you take out some of the enemies found in the outdoor area, as both Platz & Sesseri can escape and make you fail the mission. Tailing them is much easier without ten enemies shooting at you
in the dark, yes? Recommend route uses the stairway by the cars, leading east to the backyard area. • With the Aide-de-Camp captured and his bodyguards having suffered their own fate, another enemy will appear at the stairtop near the cards. If you stand by the blue sedan and peer east up the small cliffs, seeing him running is very easy. Shoot him in the brush where his cohorts may not run to his help. Just to be on the safe side, watch the area for a bit -- if any enemies help him, there'll be two of 'em. • Should enemy [above] have fallen and no comrades followed, it isn't a puzzle to find the other two. One runs back and forth (north > south) and ducks into the brush. A couple might come out of the backdoor, also; make sure you're east of there by then to have the height differential. From there, the north gate leads to a lonely garage and a living quarter. Hide in some white brush, through the gate but on the little knoll by its division. • There is one soldier in the apartment, one patrolling by its porch (on) west side, and one guy inside the garage. For an order of operations, it's best to kill the garage guy (no one sees body), then the patrolling man. The insurgent inside the house can be pegged through the window. It makes noise, which is why he's done last. Inside the apartment, take the laptop as part of some intel [which helps achieve a bonus objective]. Exit back outside and get a line of sight down the west road, past the flatbed truck by the garage. • The best part about this vantage is that many of the hidden enemies are only prepared for those coming down the west road from the other way. When they hide in the brush if spooked [i.e. any get shot] they're still fully exposed. One enemy in particular far down the way hides in some of the ruins, and gets a clear shot at any SEAL who rambles down the road. On Normal difficulty, there are five total: one by the house's northside fence, three down by the watchtower, and one in his perennial hiding spot that I already mentioned. • There's one last well-hidden enemy here, too, and if you run into him around a tight corner, you're going to get coldcocked like no tomorrow. He's beyond the northside fence, between it and the house, on a small decline. Even with events going on, he's always seems to face down that climb. Approach him from behind (from north) to blindside him. And with that, all areas of the outside should be completely done. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) NEUTRALIZE PIUS PLATZ 04) CAPTURE PIUS PLATZ 05) NEUTRALIZE CASTRIOTI SESSERI 06) CAPTURE CASTRIOTI SESSERI ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The two leaders of the Sesseri are actually inside the house, so there has to be a good infiltration plan, yes? If you open the front door there's a mob of enemies that will put holes in the SEALs, if not the overall Stealth rating. [All following strategies are under the assumption the player hasn't alerted the enemy at all, i.e. enemy shots fired] • Want stealth? Here's the best way. First off, the front and back doors to the house may be good but give bad overall vantage points. From where the aide-de-camp was standing, go down to the road and search the brush north of there. The balcony vines will hide an extra entrance leading into the wine cellar. It's a great sneak-attack path. • The first door leads into the wine cellar, and when approached, an enemy will, with a given probability, open the door first. Be prepared to take him out immediately lest he alert his friend in the adjacent room. • A stairway leads up into the nice kitchen, where one enemy is posted. He may have his back to the door, he may not -- either way, he'll probably lower the stealth rating a bit. • Before entering the dining table area, see if the enemy there [who will continuously run around the house on a cycle] has noticed the SEALs. If the other guy screamed before, he may've been out. The point where he's vulnerable is when stopping by the fireplace, and immediately after when he stares at the wall. • NOW HERE IS A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES. If you were careful this entire time, creep south through the dining room with your stun grenades at the ready. Use the camera to peek around the corner and see...MANY guys pointing their guns at the door!! If you toss flashbangs in their direction, it's possible to get six or all of them to SURRENDER! Talk about practicing nonviolence! If you didn't bring stunners, well, it'll be a bloodbath, I'm sure. [NOTE: Enemies who surrender may be shot by their comrades, so save their lives please. ^___^] • With all enemies on this floor cleaned out -- and there are no others from what was told here, at least on this difficulty -- search out the rooms to find a codebook [in library] and a nautical map [in dining room]. As the ground-floor becomes much more silent and less deadly, it's time to ascend to the second-floor area where the leaders are at. • Up the staircase, upon reaching a doorway, there will be two enemies in there. One initiates the attack probably, while one waits just nearby. Be careful he doesn't knock Specter out as he exits into the chamber. One of the doors here enters into the backyard. • Upon entering the room with another staircase, a scene with Platz and Sesseri arguing will take place. NOW THE FUN BEGINS. The staircase goes to two rooms. The one going west enters onto the balcony, and that should be the first agenda because Platz has the means to escape if left to his own volition. The other room leads to Sesseri's bedroom where he will stay for a little while [if his door's shut, he's in there still]. • Platz has two bodyguars who open the door when approached. Take them out to find Platz on a balcony and ready to escape. Since he's confronted at the moment, he'll engage with his little water pistol [at least that is the effect it has, luckily -- no shotgun here]! One flashbang will make him pee his pants and give up. Restrain him and truck back towards our friend Sesseri's bedroom. • If it's still closed, he's there. Open it up and toss a flashbang in to make him give up as well. If he's not there, he's taking the exit that opens into the backyard area, so at least his flightplan is known with that. [NOTE: I seem to remember Castrioti fleeing through the wine cellar one one run, so you may keep that in mind if he's unable to be found with a visual.] I've had Castrioti give up without any coersion also...well, besides Platz being captured. You might catch a break! ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) MOVE TO EXTRACTION 08) ALL LEADERS CAPTURED [BONUS OBJECTIVE] 09) ALL INTEL FOUND [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ With all leaders defeated or dead, point Zulu [by the front gate] is where everyone ditches this dour place. If all leaders were captured, a bonus objective is achieved. If all intel is found [laptop, codebook, nautical map, contact list (in Sesseri's bedroom)], another bonus objective completes as well. --- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LEAD PLATZ OR SESSERI TO EXTRACTION!! --- They will 'disappear' into your custody. =p Now let's enter a whole new mission! _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) URBAN SWEEP [WK04] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The RAFB is an equal-opportunity employer, so this is the first time we will see female enemies pointing guns in our faces! If you don't like using the thermal resonance imaging/nightvision goggles, prepare to set a new world record for resetting. ^___^ OVERVIEW: America's staunchest ally in South America, Brazil, has contacted the U.S. for assistance. A separatist group calling themselves the RAFB, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Brazil, is intent on destabilizing the govenrment there. The RAFB's operations focus primarily on terrorist acts against government targets and are financed by illegal drug trade. Opting to stand by their ally, US politicians have pledged their full support by lending operational assistance from SOCOM. Your fireteam is being deployed to the region to assist the Brazilian government in gathering intel on the RAFB and, if deemed necessary, potentially neutralizing their operational capabilities.

Nothing that can't be handled via small-arms fire, but... I'm saying I like sniper rifles for all occasions, so take a submachine gun if you don't care about stealth ratings. As this mission requires extracting with a target, bring flashbangs to be used in subduing that target. DO NOT BRING A ROCKET LAUNCHER on this mission -- it's a waste of time and space. =/ MISSION : 01) Rendezvous with informant. 02) Restrain RAFB Cell Leader. 03) Extract with Cell Leader. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) CLEAR INSERTION AREA ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --- VANDAL MUST NOT DIE AT ALL DURING THIS MISSION OR IT IS A FAILURE! --- Wardog and Vandal are back now! If you check the map, the insertion area's identified as the big pink rectangle through the block. Do not, under any circumstances, shoot civilians -- they're just bystanders and carry no weapons. They may distract soldiers, however! • From the start, don't enter the ornate doorway -- look down the ladder's small alley instead. One RAFB will be trying to pick a prostitute, and can be sniped easily. Down the north street, a female RABF member can be shot in a grassy between-building patch. • Continue north to come to a butcher's shop, now closed. A soldier's found here, and with his back to everyone, can be silently killed. Alternately, ...well, just shoot him in the head from the street. ["Here, try MY meat stick, sucka!"] • North is still the way to go. There is an enemy (Gaspar) who will talk w/ a kid named Llucas here in a scene. The easiest and safest way to dispose of the RAFB recruiter is to shoot from the street sidewalk east of him, belly-crawling into range. Don't bother going through the building because Gaspar will notice through the window and approaching his front's stupid, regardless. • The last enemy in this area walks the block north of where Llucas and his 'friend' were talking. He's a slow guy, and walks clockwise, so figure out how to take out this turkey. One more thing. • Ordering the fireteam to Delta will help for when the scene opens. Many, many times, the allies will still be on the street when it starts, making them open targets for the person in the apartment next door. The scene can start without Specter, so use this knowledge wisely. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) RENDEZVOUS WITH RAGBAG ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Ragbag is supposed to meet everyone at navpoint Delta, so enter the building nearby that has that marking. However, after entering the small villa it's shown [via scene] that Ragbag's been captured in the house across the way! • There's no door on the building, and there's a female RAFB standing up on the stairtop. She may or may not see the party, and is often snipe fodder from the sidewalk. This will most likely alert the girls beating up Ragbag, and will open the door. [NOTE: You can also snipe her from the other apartment access, also; use a thermal scope for better effect] • Use this chance to toss a flashbang into the room. Vidonia can surrender, but her female cohort might resist... It doesn't matter if you capture her, really, but what type of rookie walks into a room with guns pointed at the doors? No one, that's who! --- THERE IS A GLITCH HERE! Sometimes if you flashbang both women assailants and restrain them to complete the objective, Ragbag will not exit! There is no way to fix this other than restarting! --- There's a glitch where sometimes Ragbag doesn't move even if he's been freed from being harrassed. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) COLLECT INFORMATION ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Ragbag will have to lead everyone to a new rendezvous point. This leads down a street in a southern direction. Keep an eye out on the boarded-up windows which will fling open to reveal gunners trying to off our informant! If he dies, mission failure. Luckily there are only two, and their heat signatures appear behind the windows as a tip-off. Talk with Ragbag in the overgrown atrium wannabe area. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) LOCATE LEADER 05) EAVESDROP ON MEETING 06) KEEP VANDAL ALIVE ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The red door at the foot of the building just recently occupied with snipers allows passage west. One RAFB member will probably barrel down that alleyway when opened so be careful! • Beyond is an alleyway that has dumpsters in it, which can be used as cover from the female RAFBs that appear. If you've been quiet up until now, the initial one can be potshotted out of existence, giving a clear shot at all others who appear (4). It's about 60 yards to the back, so hopefully your aim ain't slackin'! • Once the alleyway's ground enemies are done for, one building will have a couple RAFBs in it. The balcony is the first spot, but if they retreat inside, there's a shot at the stairway where they may crouch. Three in all. Infiltrate that building afterwards and be careful for any others (x2) that may be on the balcony that was obscured before. One may also be in the backyard by some ladders, so be careful! TAKE OFF 'Fire at Will' now! Continue south through the cluttered apartments until a door opens onto the street. A scene just before talked about some drunk soldiers wanting their friend Joaquin to help carry them home... Also, you can take the yard by the ladders to get closer to the enemy position. • In one of SOCOM 2's genius break-the-norm things, Specter can climb up the hedges and lay there to get good vantages on the enemies. • The street leads north, and the best cover is the tall grass on the side opposite the entry door. The line of sight follows up the entire place, so maybe have everyone hold their fire and wait while Specter gets into that position. Shooting the two guys far away, over a dumpster, is not a hard feat. Joaquin will be by the dumpster too, however, so don't dash out into the open for him to gun y'down! • Besides the drunks, there are two RAFBs on balconies far down the street, who will snipe when given the chance. Don't get taken in, because allies may not be aware. The street ends abruptly with a barricade, but there's a small grassy alley right next to it that continues to where the wild things are... • Stealth is hard here -- tell your party to fire at will. Close-quarters combat may take place here, but it'll only be one RAFB if it does. This will no doubt alert the sniper [plain view, balcony] that the alley ends near, so take 'er out from the grass. She ducks in the grass mostly. • Under the flashing light, stay in the small walkway/embankment area. There is another enemy patrolling below the apartment balcony, and won't see the party if they stay there. There's a wide-doored barn already opened adjacent to the sniper building, get up to the second floor and the meeting will be eavesdropped on. Quixada will leave, so capturing her isn't possible. Three objectives are completed at this time, including 'Keep Vandal Alive' because he was the translator to the meeting. --- NOTE: There seems to be a glitch here where one ally will die for no reason when getting into position to eavesdrop on the meeting. Make sure all are on the 2F before initiating the scene, or leave them all out of the barn for safe effect. --- ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06) LOCATE HIDEOUT ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ There are no enemies in this small urban area, so cross onto the nearby balcony into another house. Vandal adds that staying away from windows is now wise, since snipers may be prowling. There aren't any immediately, but this run-down, overgrown area can REALLY be annoying without thermal imaging on the sight. On the map, there will now be a purple square -- this is the hideout area. • If you enter the first building in the south, a tiny little shack with a glassless window, you can maneuver the camera to see an RAFB agent manning a machine-gun emplacement [she may not be there if you were silent]. The best way to take her out is to have Specter go alone, crawl perpendicular to the bridge entry, until he gets around an eastern shack. From there, a clear shot can be reached, probably without the insurgent noticing. • Don't go down the tiny footbridge into the hideout yet! Go east along the waterside (in the brush of course) to find another little shack. Get prone and look up the high stacked building complex. It's possible to outsnipe a person on a gunner emplacement. That's all the exterior enemies that can be spotted. Creep along the bridge [silently as possible] to the building straight ahead. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) RESTRAIN LEADER 08) LAB MAP ACQUIRED [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ That building straight ahead can be infiltrated without much problem, at least surprise-wise. Duck into the entry, use the camera to scan the ground floor, then see the stairbottom [leading to 2F] and east doorway. When it's all clear, grab the Lab Map on the cocaine-cuttin' table to achieve a bonus objective. • If you took out the 2nd gunner emplacement before, proceed with a little less caution. If you didn't, go up the stairs backwards to pop 'er in the kisser before she alerts the others. Alternately, peek outside and stair up at the gun barrel. If it moves, there's someone on it. You may want to take the outside route that goes up and around, getting a free shot at the insurgent's backside. • The stairtop looks into an adjacent room. Eventually, that door will open and a guard will run out. There's an open shot to neutralize here. One of the guards is behind a desk and looking toward the stair entry. Strafe in view and get a headshot before the stealth rating decreases further. ^___^ This next part is one of the most annoying, just because of the randomized part and maybe running out of flashbangs. Make sure to use your own allies' as well, and make sure the room is SECURE or a rifle-butt to the face ends this excursion pretty dang quick. • TAKE OFF 'FIRE AT WILL' and move to the large open doorway that the first guard ran out of. One of these rooms with have Lucimar inside, and we do not want her being killed by stray fire. Where is she, you wonder? She's always in the door that is open by DEFAULT. If it's close to the widest door, that's even more of a boon. • IF YOU DO NOT CLEAR HER ROOM FIRST, her comrade will end up killing her!! This gets annoying awfully quick, having to restart the mission over such a dumb contingency, but it'll happen. To take some of the heat off [there will be one room that is empty], order Bravo to clear a room and have our Able team Flashbang Lucimar into captivity. When she's done, make allies "Secure the Area" while Specter guards the hostage. I suggest [and this is just personal preference] that you leave Lucimar in the room where she was captured, shut the door, and clear out the rest of the enemies first. This ensures she's not in the crossfire at all, and is EXTREMELY safe. Getting here's hard enough; having the hostage die in lame firefights is a horrible capper. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 09) EXTRACT WITH LEADER ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When Lucimar's reined in and the other enemies are complete, it's time to move to the extraction point at Zulu, where the initial eavesdropped meeting took place. It'll be an annoying gauntlet to break through, however. • Their leader captured, a couple enemies will assault the hideout. Manning that machine-gun turret can mow them down, but also let the allies switch their safeties off [i.e. Fire At Will] for those that breach the place looking for Lucimar. The turret isn't THAT good, however, so pick up one of those submachine guns and use that to guard the two entrances. Overall, there may only be one or two that enter, and one hiding by the low walkway turret. SOME ENEMIES WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL LUCIMAR IS TOLD TO 'FOLLOW' !!! In the room with the desk, keep her away from the windows -- there is a sniper far across the way...well, she has a machinegun but whatever. Also, some enemies will hide in the brush and approach from the water, so keep an eye out. • The road to Zulu is mapped out on the tacmap now, with the route traced for easy guidance. It goes north from the hideout up the dirt road, and is easy to follow. All enemies that arrive come from this route, so if you keep it in sight, picking them off is cake. Their lines of sight do not extend that far from up the road, and it helps maintain the stealth rating as well. • Said road to the last navpoint will be devoid of enemies until the leader is accompanying the SEALs. Then, there will be some firefighting. Bringing Lucimar up the road can be dangerous, so secure it piece by piece and make her hide in the grass/shadows while your business goes on. • The square with Zulu in it has a few enemies in it. One hides behind/by an angel statue, one behind a broken building, and a couple that seem to appear out of nowhere [which can happen sometimes]. Keep your back to the wall as much as possible so there's no slick tricks that put the kibosh on this mission. Order your team to secure the area and try to get our hostage out as fast as possible! It's best to "Attack to > Zulu" and follow the fireteam to that point while giving them support enemies. Enemies will eventually respawn a bit, but if you can get Lucimar to the extract point, the mission automatically ends. Whew! If you thought this mission was annoying, just wait until the next one... =/ _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 05) STRANGLEHOLD [WK05] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Brazil finance their operations through the harvesting, processing, and trafficking of cocaine. Recent attempts by the Brazilian government to suppress these activities have proved fruitles. However, through interrogation of the RAFB cell leader you captured, we have acquired the coordinates of a key RAFB cocaine processing facility. Your team is being sent in to terminate terrorist activity at this drug lab, a takedown that will curtail the RAFB's financial resources. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD Rifle: M16A2 Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Submachine Gun: HK5 Rifle: M14 Sniper Rifle: M40A1 Machine Gun: M60E3 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 SD -------- [RECOMMENDED]--.

There's a bunch of jungle here, so, again, thermal imaging helps make out the enemies a lot safer. Give Specter the sniper and special scope, and all the rest can get M4A1 SDs, which are good backup. * At the end of the mission there will be a plane that needs to detonate, so if you want a fallback, leave two slots open (bring a T. Scope) for taking an RPG-7 rocket launcher. It carries only one shot, but if you make it count, one of the more annoying dash-to-the-finish parts gets completed no matter what. [Notice that Specter starts the mission withselected as secondary items -- the game plans for this.] MISSION : 01) Intercept Radio Frequency. 02) Locate Lab Site. 03) Demolish Drug Lab. 04) Neutralize Plane. 05) Move to Extract. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) INTERCEPT RADIO FREQUENCY ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Starting in the swampwater, the radio hut is due south on dry(er) ground. Jester will alert Specter to an enemy on the bridge; s/he can be taken out silently and no enemy will notice. Proceed through the _swamp_ rather than on dry land to get better overall shots. • When that conversation about Quixada's 'affectionate side' begins, two of the guards will be standing at the north side of the outpost talking. From the swamp water, headshot one of 'em and gun down the next when he's thrown into confusion. If that's too risky, one of them will eventually cross the bridge and walk back via the shallow water -- easy pickins. • If you were spotted somehow, there will be a cutscene where a helicopter is called in to survey the area. It's got machine guns and, seemingly, a great gunner 'cause it can spot a SEAL pretty easily. Also, four enemies will creep near the riverside down to the hut. Overall, a lose/lose situation. Avoid this if possible. [Actually, anytime the enemy gets to radio in, the helicopter appears. STEALTH above all, sirs!] Only one enemy blocks entrance to the radio hut, and he walks north on a patrol. Easy target. Once downed, inspect the radio to ascertain it. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) LOCATE LAB ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you look at the map, you can see the __HUGE__ area that this entrance can be in. That purple square depicts where the lab is located, so the safest way to take. You'll see why in a sec. • Aim Assist is great for jungle play. It's the function that puts those red brackets (i.e.: [ ]) around enemies in view. With visual sight in the toilet here, it can be a nice pick-me-up. Make sure it's on. • Switch 'Fire at Will' on at your own risk. If your weapons are silent, the other SEALs'll truly have your back as their AI allows them to be much better shots and locators when a pre-emptive strike is possible. However, this kind of play is rather sloppy when enemies are not alone, so don't rely on it too much. • By the first hut's bridge, lead everyone down the westernmost portion of the river. A fort on the ridge should come into view -- two enemies. Take out the one ducking in the brush with his back to the river, then the one on the gun emplacement [officially the Worst Sentry Ever as voted by this guide...blind as a bat!]. • Killing that gunner will make the radio operator [other end] get frantic and think someone's attacking. By that hilltop fort, go prone and switch to 'Fire at Will'. Watch the riverside road and east for someone who may approach. If you wait long enough, 2-3 enemies will leisurely walk down that east road. The last thing needed is a jungle ambush -- neutralize and regulate, suckaz! • When the coast is clear, hug the creep alongside the southern cliffside. Scan with the barrel to see if any red circles appear on the map, and use his presence on when to continue. Alongside the cliff is a small cocaine cache, so one will be walking near there. • Upon arriving at said coke stash, keep an eye out for another sentry who walks east by the huge butte. He's got a target painted on his back... At this time, Jester will warn of an imminent watchtower ahead. The reason I told you to take this path is revealed: the grenade launcher does not have full 360-degree swivvel capabilities, thus this is it's blindspot. When the first guy's gone, stick around -- one more enemy will eventually approach from the other side of the butte, and two more'll patrol into the area from the east jungle. • East of here, along the south cliffside, the path wraps to another small outpost. One enemy patrols outside, and by the small swamp pond, do the team a service by sniping the grenade launcher...launcher. He won't see it coming 100% of the time! • Now, the outpost has one enemy inside it. There's a window facing north by the underbrush that gives an easy shot, although he may see you if Specter moves too much. To find the lab entrance, identify the purple square on the map, and go south of that outpost, then west a bit. There is a built-in ladder that descends into the ground. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) DEMO DRUG LAB 04) STOP RAFB FROM ESCAPING 05) BOMB SCHEMATIC ACQUIRED [BONUS OBJECTIVE] _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • Before entering, take a look down the ladder well and see if any smugglers come up. If you see them before they see you, you can stand at the top and rifle-butt 'em into the afterlife before they can get any shots off [other things like shouting are not likely to matter]. This is simple for the most part...that is, if you look around hit that dang light switch. This makes the entryway completely dark and no enemies will be able to see at all, or approach [unless they see you first]. • All enemies but one will be in view for that first hallway, meaning there is minimal movement necessary to secure this place. Shoot the two nearest the doorway [Duarte and a Drug Worker], wait for one to patrol back and forth. The last is in the south, and when standing straight up, can be shot through that hallway's screen. If you're having trouble even with this handicap, shoot out some lights to further decrease enemy visibility. • If someone gets to the radio and the helicopter comes out, there's a very high chance that the plane will leave before the SEALs can even approach it. There is about 1.5-2 minutes before it leaves, so either try to make a world record for hotfooting to navpoint Charlie with the RPG-7 or just restart. You __CAN__ come back and demo the lab if this is the case. Afterwards, all enemies are down and the notification comes, flip the lights back on and head to the very southeastern table in the shadows. Enemies had a bomb schematic sitting there which completes a bonus objective. If you're not looking for it, you'll probably skip it accidentally. • If you've been waiting to get your paws on that rocket launcher, it can be found leaning against the wall by the radio control center. This's only able to be taken if Specter has TWO free accessory slots, and it's got a single shot, only. • One thing I've had happen is that Bravo team somehow can't make it out of this place, or camps right by the exit no matter the order. To prevent unfortunate accidents this close to the end, it may be wise to find the exit, lead Bravo out, then have Jester plant the satchel. • To complete the #4 objective, command Jester [or whoever, since all other SEALs can do this] to place a Satchel by the gasoline cannisters. The command is, of course: Able/Bravo > Deploy > Satchel. At this time, there will be a small time to escape from the lab. The exit is in the eastern area, and the door opens when a switch by it is pulled. Evacuate everyone into the jungle and make sure they're not near the door or they may be fatally hurt by the explosion. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06) DEMO PLANE _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The path leads east and a small outpost by the fenced-off cliffside is very visible. Take care just the same, however! If you need, scan the small bluff just west of there for a good vantage point. One enemy is by the railing and can be shot from afar; there's another on a machine-gun emplacement that can be attacked aft without him noticing. There's an M40A1 sniper rifle here w/ better zoom power, but isn't silenced -- your decision. • There is one enemy by the bluff [aforementioned] that walks around in a counterclockwise manner, assuming north is the twelve o'clock. He's pesky and a fast walker, which means you should wait and take him out when the opportunity arises, rather than let him go and rush through. There's also one SLOW-WALKER who you may encounter after passing the clifftop m'gun installation. Going down that north road, survey the NW area when the path opens up a bit. Down the fenced-in path, a helicopter will eventually come up. • Get to navpoint Charlie on the cliffside and see if you can take out a few enemies on the airstrip below. There's a sniper in a tower, as well as a couple enemies walking around. Switch to 'Fire at Will' and let the other SEALs shoot down the chopper, which will leave smoking. If all goes well, the plane below will not have been alerted. If all goes well, the plane below will not have begun pre-flight preps. It's time to go down the cliffside this time. Keep an eye out for three enemies, one of which may have attacked while the chopper was around. Keep 'Fire at Will' on doing this. When you get to the decline leading to the camp, look down by the tree next to it and kill the two enemies hiding in the shade there. • The hangar itself has a few enemies in it, and maybe one or two walking in front of it. With all SEALs firing, there's a good chance they may not be much of a threat. Y'know the drill -- snipe from covered areas. If the plane propellers start warming up, tell a teammate to plant a satchel quickly. • Note that, if you have the RPG-7 rocket launcher, you can destroy the plane when it's first in sight. However, the enemies down the airstrip will swarm quite a bit, so it's in those who choose this path's best interest to maybe take a machine-gun or sorts to help. [UNCONFIRMED: A frag grenade can also demolish the plane if lacking other means?] The chopper also 'downs' somehow when the plane is destroyed. Anyway, the next portion involves running down the north runway, until a small eastern footpath appears. This leads to navpoint Whiskey. Go as quickly as possible to avoid getting swamped by masses of enemies from both sides of the place [Attack to > Whiskey = a good command]. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) CALL IN HELO FOR SUPPORT _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The huge swarm of enemies will quell when the plane explodes...sort of. It's no reason to take a stroll -- get down the path to Whiskey immediately! Kill all enemies on the bridge and the few tailing the party, and get to the spot the navpoint is at. Order someone to display Red Smoke to signal the helo. _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 08) EXTRACT VIA CANYON _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the signal's up, hold off enemy forces that come down the canyon path from the airstrip. This should be the easiest part yet, especially if all position themselves under the bridge [where enemies above have no range] and 'Fire at Will' is set back in motion. After a minute or so, the helicopter will swoop down for the rescue...finally ending this "FUN" mission. ^______^ After about 30 times of failing this mission somehow [Hey, I'm rusty!], the first time I passed got an "A", even after someone died. Mission completion and accuracy rating should be easy 100%s; stealth rating will suffer, but 80%+ should be enough. If you don't slip up like I did and order Bravo to wait at the canyon mouth, it's no hard trial. Just follow what I wrote. =p _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06) HYDROELECTRIC [WK06] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: Despite American and Brazilian efforts to dismantle the RAFB and prevent it from inflicting any serious damage, the terrorists have still managed to assemble the resources and manpower to initiate a takeover of the Granda Paranda Dam in Brazil. Details about the terrorist operation emerged after the leader of the group appeared on local television with a list of demands for the Brazilian government. Intel has confirmed through satellite surveillance that the terrorists have indeed seized the dam. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD -------- [RECOMMENDED] Rifle: M16A2 Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Submachine Gun: HK5 Rifle: M14 Sniper Rifle: M40A1 Machine Gun: M60E3 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 SD -------- [RECOMMENDED] Assault Rifle: M4A1 Silenced Pistol: MARK 23 SD Silenced Pistol: 9MM Pistol --- [RECOMMENDED] Pistol: MARK 23 Equipment: Double Ammo -------- [RECOMMENDED] Grenade: M67 Grenade: MARK141 -------------- [RECOMMENDED] Mine: Claymore ---------------- [SPECTRE ONLY] Grenade: AN-M8 * I used two SR-25 SDs and two M4A1 SDs here, no particular reason 'cept to give each team a little versatility. The usual standard of Double Ammo + Thermal Scope + Flashbangs applies. MISSION : 01) Infiltrate Dam. 02) Disarm All Explosives. 03) Eliminate Terrorist Leadership. 04) Secure Dam. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) RECON ENEMY PATROL ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now _this_ is large-scale activities! The SEALs start in the west, by the drive-up to the dam's facility. The object is to the use the ventilation shafts to infiltrate the dam silently [the route is traced on the tacmap]. Shoot the guard standing by the gate booth, and peer further down the road to see two more enemies. • If you consider yourself a dead-eye, do an exercise in excellent sniping by taking out the guard above navpoint Charlie, the dam administration building. It can be hard, but if you do it at the start, it'll save some grief later. In this same vein, the south-facing windows of that upper floor has one guard staring out the window. He doesn't move, and those types of targets are easy to hit, no? ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) INSERT INTO AREA ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The infiltration is rather simple, to be honest. Move east along the cliff wall to the mesh fence area where some offices are. North leads to a large bunch of water pipes, all of which can be maneuvered under. It may not be a great idea to take the entire team through until the two road patrols've been neutralized. Best chance for this comes when the enemies chitchat for a moment and move northward with their backs to the SEALs. • If you follow the map precisely, go north under the vents and west into the building. There are no human enemies on the ground floor, but be sure to destroy the video camera by the dam entrance door, and the one inside said administration building [in garage]. Small-arms fire will suit the job well 'nough. If any camera see you, EVERY SINGLE ENEMY within the dam will be on-guard more than normal, which is really a short stick of the deal for the SEALs. Approach the stairway within the aforementioned garage to clear this part. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) INFILTRATE DAM 04) STEALTHY INSERTION [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This place is close-range fighting, and for stealth purposes, try to rely on pistol shots and riflebutt/throat-slitting instead of loud livewires. If you want to be silent, there are two routes to do this: • The first and longest involves taking out the three enemies within the cubicle area. One patrols the first cubicle room, one walks into both, and a third RAFB insurgent stays in that adjacent room with a shotgun. It's best to operate with Specter alone in this part due to the limited space. To begin, the cubicle guard has to be taken out. The easiest chance to put him down for an eternal sleep is when he stops after looking out the window nearest the ladder. His back will be to that room, and our other enemy will be elsewhere. To take care of patroller #2, enter that first cubicle room and lie in wait for him [prone] at the other side. Shoot him when he peeks around. Shotgun lady is the third one, and sticks around her area, occasionally patrolling a sidedoor area [which leads outside]. Duck into another desk region when her back's turned and fire when possible. Alternatively, toss a flashbang and make her surrender. • Second way involves the small entryway before the first cubicle room. It has a ladder that leads to the roof. The sniper here will have to be dealt with, but the control-room guard might be left alone. Either way, making the other SEALs scale the ladder unnoticed can be hard, so I would recommend taking the first cubicle guard before doing this [the other one won't enter]. If the rooftop's clear, use the east ladder. Either way, the door at navpoint Delta has a camera that needs to be short circuited, lest the enemies take the 'sneak' out of this 'sneak attack.' Enter when ready to complete this objective; if no enemies saw the party at all, the bonus objective is checked off as well. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 05) NEUTRALIZE TRIGGER MAN 06) SECURE DAM WORKERS ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The trigger man is the person who has control over detonating the explosives, and may turn suicidal if enemies are spotted. Obviously, he's a high priority to take out. • Enter into a room full of electronic machines and locate the downward stairway. Don't go down yet, however -- eventually an enemy will walk into view. Should he fail to appear, he'll come back to that position in the stairwell, although it'll be from the lower floors. Be ready to ambush him! The plant is crawling with enemies on all levels, and this can be quite an annoying part to get through with perfect stealth. Here's how I did it. • [Upper] - Walking catwalk & generator tops' nearest entry stairs • [Upper] - Walking catwalk nearest entry stairs • [Upper] - Hiding south of catwalk nearest stairs, behind a pillar • [Upper] - In southern of the two glass-windowed rooms* • [Upper] - May walk onto 2F bridge spanning both walkways * - I've had it where this guy did not show up. Maybe it was a floor foe who climbed the ladder when alerted? When the upper-floor enemies are dead, move south to navpoint Echo and find two dam workers alone in a room. Restrain them to complete the objective. Now...it's time to get the rest of the 'beatcop' enemies down on the floor. Use the stairway by the interior's first enemy and head downward. • [Lower] - female by southernmost generator [may patrol] • [Lower] - male by southernmost generator [walks around generator] With those two dead, it's safe to come out of the stairwell. Turn your sights northward. • [Lower] - Patrolling around northernmost generator • [Lower] - Patrolling around northernmost generator The above are easy to shoot if you haven't been spotted, maintaining their course. If one dies, the other can get baited into appearing. If they have been alerted, walk on the southernmost generator's top and peer north to see them huddling together. The high line of sight gives good snipe opportunity. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) DISARM BOMB 1 ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When the dam's floor enemies are cleared, move to the crates stacked up by the southernmost generator and defuse Bomb #1. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 08) SECURE DAM TECHNICIANS ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now there's the task of clearing the generator facility's ground-floor rooms, found underneath the catwalk on the west side. • Look at the map and you'll see two rooms here, one small and the other bigger [guess which one is a bathroom?]. Anyway, order Bravo team to Breach > Bang and Clear the room with 'Fire at Will' on for good measure, as the guy there often becomes suspicious of noises. Secure the techies to complete this part. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 09) DISARM BOMB 2 ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The hallway leading to navpoint Foxtrot has one enemy in it. If he's not been alerted to the SEALs arrival, he will be standing with his back to the team; if he has, he'll be behind a glass door and waiting. The door at navpoint Golf [little-used, huh?] has one enemy by Bomb 2. Because the enemy is behind a piece of equipment and can't hear a stealthy door opening, it's possible to just move Spectre in, sneak up, and whack her with the rifle. The "Breach > Move and Clear" command works as well, but isn't necessary. Disarm the bomb ASAP. With the generator room completely clear, enter the corridor on the eastern wall that leads further down into the plant. [Technically, you can go and
kill Quixada at this time as well, but there's no real reason to unless you want to take the triggerman out from a different direction, one which he's more likely to see the SEALs in.] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 10) NEUTRALIZE TRIGGER MAN ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Surprisingly, this is easier than one would have thought. At the very end of the stairwell path, where it opens into the room, view southwest through all the pipes and whatnot to [barely] see a man poking out behind the wall. Jester will notify you that it's the trigger man, so shoot well. If he gets away, there is a good chance he'll go kamikaze and fail the mission with a gigantic 'splosion. Way easier to see him with the thermal scope, of course. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 11) DISARM BOMB 3 12) DISARM ALL BOMBS ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When the trigger man is toast, peer south and shoot the guard when she gets into the scope's sight. There's another guard to take out near where we just downed the "bomb guy" as Jester so affectionately puts it, and can be taken out in the same fashion -- through the obscuring pipework. But, don't go that way just yet. We need to go north to the dead-end area. It's shaped like: There's one guy [the X] who just stands in a single spot, looking toward where the SEALs |¯¯¯¯| have to get in. You'll have to pop out from |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [J] | behind the wall and cave his head in with a | _ |¯|____| quick shot. Make sure you do this when there | |_| | are no enemies around -- not because they'll |_______ | N see you, but because they need to see /him/. _______| | /|\ He's the bait and gives another shot at the | _ | | guard who goes to see what's up. If no one | |_| X | | comes, don't get hasty. Behind that partition | _______| there [probably] is one girl just looking at | |_______ it. o_O | |__ | __|--STAIRWAY When she's gone, the second wide-open area before Juliet needs to get cleared as well. There may not be an enemy there, because I think that woman from before is the patrolling one for the 2nd area. But if she's dead, who cares? PAR-TAY! Just kidding -- the room Juliet's in has to be cleared. One person is inside and crouching, as you can probably see from 'looking around the corner' with the camera angles. Personally, I just threw a flashbang in there and beat the crap out of the two people inside. I don't recommend throwing a frag grenade in there 'cause we have a bomb present, people. THINK! Disarm it and no more boom-boom in these rooms, I assume. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 13) NEUTRALIZE TERRORIST LEADER 14) SECURE DAM ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ From this point on, switch to 'Fire at Will' because this is the last leg and we don't want slow trigger fingers. • There is a sideroom by navpoint Whiskey that leads into some pipes and other mechanical stuff. Ignore it since there's no one inside. • Just north of the wall by Whiskey is another patrolling guard, much in the same fashion as those before Juliet. Look around the corner to find her position and when her back's turned, plug her in the face. When the long room here is cleared, head north to the stairway that leads toward navpoint Zulu. When the stairs come up to a room with lots of servers inside, you can 'peek' around the corner and see Quixada there. • Now, there's no bonus points for taking Quixada alive or anything, and you can't do it even if you try, so don't bother. If she gets tipped off to the SEALs' presence, she goes into the hallway-slash-room north of Zulu. Just slug her 'tween the eyes and finish this mission already. Funnily, she can still talk even after dying. Also funnily, even after she dies, the objective switches to killing the trigger man. Let's just get the heck outta Brazil, please! _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) GUARDIAN ANGELS [WK07] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: Gentlemen, we have a grim situation developing in Algeria. The Algerian Patriotic Front, a group of violent separatists, has initiated a military coup and is sytematically expunging all opposition and outsiders. Pockets of humanitarian aid workers, peacekeepers, and Americans at the US Embassy are now trapped in the city of Bejaia. The Americans are already being safely evacuated from the Embassy, but the aid workers and peacekeepers are trapped in areas currently engulfed in heavy fighting. No chances are being taken with the lives of these people. SOCOM is sending in the SEALs to ensure that all friendlies are escorted safely to a neutral zone until they can eventually depart the country altogether. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD ----- [RECOMMENDED] Rifle: M16A2-M203 Rifle: M16A2 Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Submachine Gun: HK5 Rifle: M14 Sniper Rifle: M40A1 Machine Gun: M60E3 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 SD ----- [RECOMMENDED] Assault Rifle: M4A1 Assault Rifle: M4A1-M203 Laser Designator ----------- [SPECTER ONLY] Grenade: MARK141 Mine: Claymore Grenade: AN-M8 Rocket Launcher: AT4 Grenade: M67 --------------- [RECOMMENDED] Grenade: HE Equipment: Double Ammo ----- [RECOMMENDED] * Specter has to have the Laser Designator this time, but it will replace his pistol instead of an equipment slot. Double Ammo never grows old, but no thermal scope even though it's dark. =/ Also, there are no prisoners and junk this time, so feel free to bring along frag grenades if you haven't. If you want the bonus objective, bring the AT4 which takes up two slots [keep the double ammo]. MISSION : 01) Locate Aid Workers. 02) Escort Aid Workers to Neutral Zone. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) DESTROY T-72 [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The SEALs wash up on a beach outside of Bejaia. It's nighttime so we'll have to be extra careful because there's no thermal scopes here. Use night-vision goggles to identify enemies when possible! • Sneak west up the beach and hit the deck when a gate comes into view. One enemy can be gunned down from this position as he walks in the grass. Keep low and let a second beret'D enemy walk into sight. He suffers the same fate. [NOTE: Sometimes the enemy does not start near the first sentry and screws this part up. Reset for an easier time.] Continue up the beach and snipe the enemy walking on the skinny beach. The path up to the town [navpoint Charlie] will be available for the taking. • I've found three ways to do this successfully #1 - On the west side of the sentries' location, stand on the beach and face where they stand over the barricade. Throw a grenade up & over to incapacitate them. You'll have to bank it off a building to get it in position, but it's possible. This is the hardest to do, but if attempted before the conversation cutscene's initiated, the enemy duo will act like nothing ever happened. #2 - Stand on the furthest outreach of the dock and it's possible to see the sentries' heads between the railing. When one walks inside, be sure to neutralize the other; it's rinse and repeat, even if number two is alerted and goes to investigate. This can also be done to a lesser extend from below the west railing, but on the small ledge above the beach. #3 - The most boring and longest involves going up to the northern side of the house and listening to a conversation. One guard will patrol the interior of this shanty, check the door, and walk back. Destroy him at this time before the 2nd guard gets back, then shoot that'un from the rectangular-shaped window. With the sentries gone, it's only a small matter of time before a T-72 tank rolls in from the southern tunnel, headed up the street. There's a limited amount of time to destroy this with the AT4, but any clear shot will do. It helps to take out the machine gun nest on one of the buildings [for cover, look NE from behind the broken wall by sentries to spot]. • Personally, I take up position near navpoint Delta because it's got one of the best line of sights to where the tank's inbound. To boot, both accompanying enemies' movements can be observed as well. If Jester's along, tell him to 'Fire at Will' because an enemy may descend from the ladder at Delta and assault the group [that is, if your firing spot was found out which may not happen if it's far up the street]. The enemies may investigate who tanked their tank, however, so be prepared for anything. Leaving Bravo by the "beach house" and telling them to fire at will is a good backup. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) LOCATE CHA PERSONNEL ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • When 8:00 have passed on the game clock, the last remaining consortium of humanitarian agencies worker [CHA] will be murdered. This cannot be avoided by anything other than speed. The aforementioned machinegun nest should be taken out pronto. To get the jump on the soldier, head to point Delta where a ladder leads east. Creep to the sheltered part, ignoring the 'fake' doors. There may or may not be two enemies here, so ricochet a frag off a wall or something to neutralize silently [at least by enemy detection standards ^___^] • But it ain't over yet. There is a building entrance immediately east of the gun nest that has an upstairs and downstairs corridor. The 2nd enemy who may appear by the machine gun patrols the upstairs floor. It's got a good visual down to the Delta ladder, so keep your sights there when approaching. • If all enemies up to this point [noted by me] have been destroyed, simply run to Foxtrot and restrain the peacekeeper. Tell him to follow, although, technically, you can leave him where he is and clear out hostiles first. That's the long way 'round... ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) RESCUE AID WORKER ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now we can to do a little urban warfare, in the small side-streets and alley webs there are. There are two entrances leading south into the cramped passages. In the first passages that eventually join up, | | there is only one guard. The stealthiest way's to | ¯¯\ use the eastern of the passages which allows the |¯¯ _\ \ team to sneak up on his rear. When the mayor has | |_ | a broadcast [dialogue], he'll be moving away from | | | a doorway -- strike! | \_ | | | Head toward point Romeo and leave the team there ( |¯¯¯¯|¯ with 'Fire at Will' on. Move Specter into the house \ \X | right by there, and stick by the east window. One \ \/ _| enemy will walk by on patrol, but at some point, I \ / have seen him duck into the eaves of the house for \R\_/\ cover. If you're standing by the window, he won't \ / notice and can be riflebutt'D like it's an Algerian | | | custom. :p [A guard conversation may play here.] | | |__/¯¯) | /¯ / There's one more enemy upstairs by a window, and | /X(¯¯¯¯¯\( can be taken out silently in the player's preferred \|/ | | \\ fashion. N | | ) ) \ \ / / Now, if you heard the conversation, the dual roads / \ ( | leading to Romeo will have acquired a couple new _\ / \ | enemies. I ended up leaving Bravo at the main town | | | road and having them Attack to > Juliet which was \____/ | not a bad idea. The house near Romeo overlooks the town square, and the southern access road will have two enemies. As they walk away [south], put a trigger finger to good use and silently eliminate. If you wait too long and they're gone, the two will split up at the southern fork and hide in the small dead-ends on either path. Consult the tacmap to find these. With the town square cleared somewhat, there are two more paths leading to point Zulu, located in a house. • Suggested path is the southern-driving squiggly one. When it opens up into a small street with a wagon and stuff, duck down and peer northwest. There is an enemy who walks by there sometimes and is a sitting duck [now and if you can't wait]. • The southern window of the Zulu building has a window overlooking the tiny street, and an enemy peering out. He's spaces out enough for Specter to creep under some eaves and peg him, however. • Round the Zulu building into another square, peer east and see if an enemy is watching the road. If so, easy target; if not, he may be investigating further north. Ignore him if y'want, but it does pay to be thorough... With all enemies in the vicinity clear, lead the worker west of Zulu square to where navpoint Whiskey is. Before approaching, however, leave the hostage and Bravo to protect him. This street is crawling with enemies. • Go prone and sidle south with yer gun pointed west. If no enemies have been alerted, one will be crouching by the street -- first victim. Scanning of the area behind said insurgent reveals another standing straight up. Put him in the morgue. They are the only two enemies on the street, so take cover on the other side by the red-painted garage doors. The broken building's remains lead west to an open doorway. An enemy may approach here unexpectedly, so do some fancy rifle-butting before he can get any shots off. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) CLEAR OUT SNIPERS ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • The western building has 4 snipes; two on mid, two on lower. If Specter's up to it [i.e. not injured severely], it's not a Herculean feat to destroy 'em with him alone. Crawling by the sidewalk leading to navpoint Juliet'll give good shooting opportunities. When all four are on a slab, use the Designator Specter is carrying to destroy that building. [Before this it may be wise to hide the escortee in Juliet's apartment husk.] • There are three enemies left before the neutral zone is reached. They're able to be taken out from Juliet's broken wall, or the street itself -- the latter may be easier and more unobstructed. When they're done, lead the escortee to navpoint Xray to finish this. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 08) PROTECT AND SERVE [WK08] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: The forces of General Mahmood's Army continue to lay seige to the city of Bejaia and it's only a matter of time before the city falls completely under the control of this ruthless leader. SOCOM is using every asset in its arsenal to ensure all Embassy staff and American tourists are safely extracted from the city. The heavily equipped troops of the General have utilized Soviet-made armor to spearhead their attacks and anti-aircraft systems to prevent any American air support from intervening. Because of this, your SEAL team is being sent in on foot to rescue the remainder of the peacekeeper troops and to neutralize any heavy weapon assets you encounter. The situation in Bejaia is ugly, and from the look of things, is only going to get uglier. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD ----- [RECOMMENDED] Shotgun: 12 Gauge Pump Rifle: M16A2 Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Submachine Gun: HK5 Rifle: M14 Sniper Rifle: M40A1 Machine Gun: M60E3 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 SD ----- [RECOMMENDED] Assault Rifle: M4A1 Silenced Pistol: MARK 23 SD Silenced Pistol: 9MM Pistol -[RECOMMENDED] Pistol: MARK 23 Grenade: MARK141 Mine: Claymore Grenade: AN-M8 Rocket Launcher: AT4 Grenade: M67 --------------- [RECOMMENDED] Grenade: HE Equipment: Double Ammo ----- [RECOMMENDED] * Specter has a mandatory AT4 rocket launcher and everyone else has a Satchel, so there's only room for one optional secondary accessory here. Double Ammo is always good, of course. MISSION : 01) Rescue CHA Personnel. 02) Neutralize Enemy Armor. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) SILENTLY SECURE MARKET ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This place is so sad. You can hear the families locked up behind their doors talking about the loved ones slain by the bad guys. VENGEANCE IS OURS! • If your team gets spotted [drawing gunfire], this 2ndary objective fails. • For best effect while strafe-shooting or even just strafing into targets' sights, make sure you're standing straight up. The enemies don't seem to mind this when they're engaged in conversation, and the reticle will not move when going lateral directions [unlike crouching]. • The SEALs make an insert into a small passageway not unlike the other part of Bejaia, and the path forks. Each 'prong' leads to the marketplace area, with two guards talking there. The western one of the two is the hardest to deal with as one enemy is facing towards the other, maybe alerting him to the team's presence. However if you go prone, there's a good chance one shot can take both of them out. Afterwards, quickly run to the east passage and neutralize the enemies there. They both have their backs to the entrance and are sorry excuses for vigilant sentries. • Navpoint Charlie is within the marketplace. Without the entrance guards, there are only three more enemies within. - One navigating marketplace grounds - One by south/east junction road [walks east] - One by south/east junction road in the east [walks west] Killing any of the road guards often makes the next stumble upon the corpse, so there should be a free shot in there somewhere. • There's also a glitch where the objective can succeed even if you don't kill all enemies. More specifically, if you kill everyone but the guard engaged in conversation in the west fork, and who also patrols those mini alleyways. This, of course, isn't that important but it may come up at some time. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) RESCUE CHA TROOPS [PART 1] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • There are two ways to take to the large street. One involves going almost straight north of Charlie, up an angular road. It's gone one guard and he is no Employee of the Month -- dude doesn't even patrol the entire length of the small ramp! The second road is in the east of the marketplace and is a long, continuous twisty path. This route also has one patrolman & the best cover, but gives a bad position if you want to plug some enemies pronto. Overall, I suggest the former path -- it's shorter. =p NOTE: If you take the east marketplace path and witness a tank rolling in, YOU CANNOT GO BACK NORTH or it's "leaving the battlefield". o____O • The avenue north of Charlie opens onto a street. Duck behind the cement architecture before then, however, and defeat the enemy crouching behind a barricade. Jester will remind Specter about snipers and, what d'you know! -- a sniper pops out of a window in the east apartment building. If the team is prone on the declining road below him, they'll go unnoticed. • Our first CHA personnel is located at the building by navpoint Delta. But, before running across the street, there is a few enemies to take care of: - by park bench area in front of Delta building - the guard who comes to inspect the park-bench guard when killed - sniper in building west of Delta structure [only after bench foe KO'd] When they're done, move towards the street a little until a teammate gets a visual on enemy armor -- a tank coming east down the street. Strap on that AT4 and blow it to smithereens when it approaches. If you wait too long or had wasted it earlier, the tank destroys the CHA's building. ^__^ • At this time, more enemies may appear in the street vicinity: - approaches from entrance to decline, by east barricade - sniper on roof east of Delta building, hard to see due to railing When all enemies are neutralized, locate the first peacekeeper. Point yer crosshairs at him, and pick: Soldier > Pull Out. He'll leave the battle zone and be rescued. Creep west up the street until the overhanging bridge is in view -- one more enemy up there. --- Now, it's time to rescue the second worker. Go east up the street until a small alley leads leads near the next part of town. There will be one foe here walking; if he's further down, simply wait for an opportune time for neutralizin'. • Look out the east end of the alley and to the nearby street to the SE. A single enemy is giving support fire, but the back of his head's an easy target 'cuz he doesn't move. BOOYA! • The street northwest of navpoint Echo [where last CHA is located] contains a machine gun nest and an extra soldier. Their backs are also turned, so to capitalize, take out the gunner first then his escort. • Go west to the tunnel leading behind navpoint Zulu. Two enemies here and an AA gun, which is where that loud 'crack!' sound emits from. Take the hapless duo out for good measure. • Southeast of echo, on the street level, is a barricade stuffing up a tiny dead-end. There's a tank there, but more importantly, there's two soldiers who stay put no matter what. One-way ticket to afterlife, please! ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) DESTROY ENEMY TANKS 04) DESTROY AA GUN ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When the anti-aircraft gun is standing by its solitary, tell someone to drop a satchel there. Be sure to reissue the crucial 'Follow' order to the bagman, in case one of the SEALs doesn't get away in time -- these don't have long fuses like in the Stranglehold mission. With the gun out of commission, all tanks in the surrounding area will be destroyed as well. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 05) SNIPERS NEUTRALIZED [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ There are snipers all around here, pinning down the last CHA member. They're unable to kill said civilian [I think], but they can do serious damage to the SEALs. The greatest weapon in a sniper's arsenal is being hidden, and without that, putting 'em in a coffin is easy as pie. 1) Building west of Echo, mid-level balcony. Shootable from machinegun nest. 2) Weird-shaped spire building southeast of Echo. By the railing part. 3) Building w/ curvature south of Zulu, southwest of Echo. Roof. 4) Building north of Echo. Best line of sight [with shelter] is at Zulu. 5) Building south of Zulu. Shoot from the northeast direction or similar. 6) Building northeast of Echo, on the roof. Shoot from south or west. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06) RESCUE CHA TROOPS [PART 2] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ With all threats in this area like dust in the wind, locate the CHA ally at navpoint Echo and send him home [Soldier > Pull Out]. Note that when the lady on the radio says to 'move to extract,' there is no designated point on the map. It just happens. =p _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 09) AGAINST THE TIDE [WK09] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: Team, your performance has been outstanding thus far in this operation. However, no matter how hard we try, we can't stop the PFA onslaught. General Mahmood's Army is far too strong for our limited forces to counter their actions. The best we can hope for is to get all of our people out safely. We have however hit a serious snag. Mahmood's forces have closed on the American Embassy much faster than anticipated and though choppers continue to ferry staff out of there, the Embassy's security forces will surely soon be overwhelmed by contingents of enemy soldiers. We need you to get in there and hold back the enemy for as long as it takes us to evacuate every last American. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD ----- [RECOMMENDED] Shotgun: 12 Gauge Pump Rifle: M16A2 Rifle: M16A2-M203 Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Submachine Gun: HK5 Rifle: M14 Sniper Rifle: M40A1 Machine Gun: M60E3 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 SD ----- [RECOMMENDED] Assault Rifle: M4A1 Assault Rifle: M4A1-M203 Silenced Pistol: MARK 23 SD Silenced Pistol: 9MM Pistol -[RECOMMENDED] Pistol: MARK 23 Grenade: MARK141 Mine: Claymore Grenade: AN-M8 Rocket Launcher: AT4 Grenade: M67 --------------- [RECOMMENDED] Grenade: HE Equipment: Double Ammo ----- [RECOMMENDED] * Specter has to have Red Smoke & C4, so there's only one open slot left for him [Double Ammo!]. Everyone else can be custom- -fitted with whatever. Frag grenades will be more useful in this level than flashbangs. The Thermal Scope is available, and very useful for this level. Decide if it's worth giving up the extra ammo for -- after all, y'can always find another gun, yes? MISSION : 01) Reach US Embassy. 02) Defend Embassy. 03) Extract with Embassy Staff. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) REACH US EMBASSY ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ There are a number of ways to approach the embassy, but since the entrance is actually the subterranean garage located near navpoint Delta, we're not going to take the cut-across...the safest way. • At the very start, there are a few enemy patrols to take out. Some may toss a frag grenade your way, which is why extra-stealthiness makes for a good idea here. First things first, at the very beginning, snipe the man SE of the insertion point [this is done within seconds of starting]. Then, next target should be the one that patrols by the burnt-out bus. He never checks the other side, and is easy prey. [NOTE: Sometimes he can 'look' through the bus and identify the SEALs. What the heck?] From the broken city bus, go south a bit until the street opens up. Snipe the guy to the east, then look west through the barricades and burning barrel. If you're a good eye [or have a thermal scope], a head sticking out from behind some sandbags will be plain as day. Turn east until a street opens south again to the anterior of the Embassy building, at a curved road. One enemy can be shot from by the corner if Specter stands straight up. Another patrolling insurgent will run to his aid; pop his head too. Continue west until the teensy-weensy tunnel as viewed on the map is in sight. • There will be a conversation here about enemies wanting to kill instead of doing routine junk. After the convo ends, they will both be standing in an alignment that lets them be shot through the tunnel. Whee! Proceed south to a desolate sidestreet. • Hide in the shadows and wait for an enemy to run by [screaming like Xena the warrior princess, no less]. This happens if there are bodies laying by that northern Embassy barricade. Snipe him before he does harm to the stealthy infiltration. If he does not appear [because an enemy was not killed previously], he will be on-guard near navpoint Delta instead. If y'look south down that street, there will be one enemy who runs across the width-wise part, standing by some rubble before moving to the sidewalk where someone can easily bump into him. Take him out silently from afar if possible. The road to Delta is now available, so run there and descend into the garage. [NOTE: I don't suggest entering through navpoint Echo if you want a good stealth rating. In the long run this is irrelevant if other parts get a good grade, but this is my personal preference. DEAL WITH IT, SUCKAZ!] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) SECURE DOCUMENTS [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Find where Thomas Tanaka is located by the central stairway, and go north along the wall. A door will open to the east into a room with servers and such. A silenced M4A1 is here, and a stairway leads up to a small room w/ a writing desk. Take the "sensitive material" the Embassy workers left there on accident. It really pays to get said weapon because the weapons dropped by enemies are AK-47s and don't work with the thermal scope [if brought]. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) FIND EMBASSY PERSONNEL ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This lower-level garage by navpoint Juliet has two enemies. Both can be taken out with a slow strafe with an eye already in the scope [standing up all the way for best effect]. Make Specter put a C4 charge on the gigantic blast door that leads up into the Embassy proper. There are no enemies to be found within the interior at this point. When you find a worker, Restrain and tell him/her to Follow! • Nancy Raines - west hallway dead-end • Thomas Tanaka - southern 2F area by the central staircases There's only two to save here. Before collecting them, think about searching the place for extra ammo. The place west of Tanaka is a lockerroom with some in it. There's only one minute of the 10:00 to evacuate to safety before the place becomes a hotspot for enemy activity! ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) DEFEND EMBASSY ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now here's the annoying part -- staving off all enemies for 9:00 in-game time, and doing it without sacrificing any lives. No civilian personnel can be killed, so the best vantage point at the moment is moving to the roof. A dual staircase in the south part of the 2F leads up and up to that location, and we'll have to go there anyway. • Three commands help here. 'Fire at Will' goes without saying, 'Hold Position' may have to be reordered if allies move out of good firing locations, and 'Cover Target' is good for selecting areas that should receive the suppressing fire [i.e. roof access doorway]. • I had a huge thing written out for this part, but ended up deleting it because there's one thing that makes this simple: RIFLEBUTT! Believe my advice or not, it's great. Move everyone to the roof, put Jester on the staircase by Zulu and Bravo a little ways north of the access doorway. If you put Specter by the door, you can riflebutt just about every enemy that comes up unheeded with support fire. Putting Specter in danger like this can backfire if you're not careful, but if you stay out of sight and pay attention, it can work 100% of the time [or is at least worthwhile until snipers appear]. • Riflebutting is also a good way to conserve ammunition, which can get a lot of consumption here. Those who took a sniper rifle can put it to some good use without wasting needless bullets! • After the nine minutes has dwindled to 1:30, the radio lady alerts Specter to possible sniper presence in the nearby buildings. This thread will be in the last objective as well, so try and sterilize the surroundings for help down the road. When the time limit runs out, hopefully none of the allies are downed 'cause one of them getting coldcocked is a reality. Surprisingly, most of the foes who invaded this "anthill" came up the same flight of stairs. Stupid idiots or just poor AI? ONLY YOU CAN BE THE JUDGE. Hehe, good luck maintaining a high accuracy rating. =p ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 05) EXTRACT PERSONNEL ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The huge torrent of enemies coming into the Embassy will ebb when this part of the mission plan takes the center stage. Earlier, the radio girl warned that multiple heat signatures around the roof area had been sighted, being snipers probably. And they are -- in the north, south, and east buildings that surround the Embassy. At this time, it still helps to leave Bravo by the door to kill any other insurgents that still may be in the building! When snipers are a minimum thread and Bravo's watching the door, deploy some red smoke [Specter has it] in the extraction zone at navpoint Zulu. If it's deployed right, the helo pilot will notify the SEALs and the mission will be in the history books soon after. --- I got a 62% Stealth Rating, but if the other categories are borderline 100% [and they should be with my rooftop riflebutt strat!], then it's still easy to get an 'A' ranking. Yippee-ki-aye! _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 10) LOCKDOWN [WK10] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Gawd, I can't believe the Spetznaz uniforms on here are BLUE! They barely blend into the frozen Baltic! Personally, I usually dump them at the start and go vigiliante with Jester, but that's not something I recommend if you have never played this mission before. =p OVERVIEW: Our intelligent soruces in Eastern Europe have sent word to alarming terrorist acitivty in Kamchatka. This activity is attributed to an organization known as Force Majeure, at times also referred to as the Global Liberation Front. Hate is an operative word for this group of ex-pat Russians, Chinese, and Europeans. They attribute the demise of the Soviet Union entirely to policy and view our country as a threat to their world order. Supplied by black market groups such as the defunct Sesseri Syndicate, their full strike potential is assumed deadly and extensive. We must discover if Force Majeure is planning an attack against the US and how advanced their strike capabilities are. Sounds just like your line of work.

The frigid temperatures actually impede sights when enemies are not around. MISSION : 01) Locate Fabrication Lab. 02) Dismantle the Nuclear Devices. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) ELIMINATE TRUCK PERSONNEL ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The opening sequence shows a truck skidding off the road and into a snowbank by navpoint Charlie. They'll wait around and start walking west up the road if left long enough. All three have their backs to the SEALs' insert area, so get a good snipe site on the li'l hill before the truck's location for quick excision. If they aren't taken out quickly, an enemy will radio in and the base will be alerted to the SEALs' presence! ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) RECON ENTRY POINT ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ There is a guardshack by the compound's entrance at point Echo. The best route to navpoint Delta is actually not via the road, which some people may think -- going the other way around the wrecked truck is a sufficient route as well! The woman on the radio tells the team to hold the building in view while reconnaissance takes place. Shoot the guard when the all-clear's been given. If you take the enemy out before recon's done, the objective fails! • I should mention that point Echo is a great place to snipe from given the cover and the high ground. The thermal scope impedes the overall visual, however, when enemies aren't around. At least five enemies that can be taken out in this fashion by my count. Since this mission can be...annoying due to its size and the number of enemies hidden around, I'll make a map and number the buildings for easier reference. I know when I first played SOCOM II, this was the most vexing of any place. [The 'S' is snowbanks where the player can move around also] Crates and obstacles aren't shown, however, |¯¯| --------------> NORTH |7 | |__|_______________________ | _____________ |SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SS| | | |SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SS| | 6 | |SSSSSSSS|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| SS| | | |SSSSSSSS| /5\ | SS| |_____________| |SSSSSSSS| |_| | sS| __ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____ | SS|____|SS|______ | 4 |_ | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS| | | | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | SSSSSSSSSS|¯¯¯¯¯¯ |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| _|¯¯¯¯¯| | SSSSSSSSSS|______ | 2 | | 3 | | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS| |¯¯¯¯¯| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS| | | /|\ | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS| |_____| | | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS| Fab.

THIS IS NOT THE WALKTHROUGH ORDER TO FOLLOW NECESSARILY! • Listing of terrorists who walk around the outdoors: - Patrols by north side of houses 1 - Patrols by southern fence, moving south towards point Echo - Dock south of Building 1 - Patrols west/south side of House 1 [and one beside w/ no entrance] - Patrols by west & south side of house 2 - Stands around west of house 2 - House 4's balcony [sniper] - House 4's balcony [sniper, after 1st dies] - Patrols House 4's street, entrance - Patrols from Building 5's south edge to north dock/sea area - Dock south of Building 7 [north of crane base] - Crane south of Building 7 [sniper] • House #1 has a windows on all four sides of the house. If unalerted, there will be one enemy within the barracks portion. Sometimes he stands by the fireplace [blindspot]. Dispose of him from any of the windows, preferably the SE one. A frequency book can be pocketed here. • House #2's ground floor has two enemies, one for each room. A plainclothes guy totes a gun on the south side, and can be shot through the window. The parka-wearin' freak on the northside stands in a corner and provides a very poor vantage point for shooting except through the west window. The weapon fabrication lab entrance is also found here, for reference. • House #3 has no entrances...or rather, it does, but snowdrifts block them off. It's got a nice broadside that prevents enemies from seeing well, so use it to your advantage. If an alarm's going on, an enemy may be wedged between this house and #4, so be careful. • House #4 has a sniper on its south balcony, which is the first target before approaching. Eventually another will take his place, so commit that to memory. With those two threats gone, inside is one guy who patrols the ground floor. The 2F office has a wall safe that can only be opened with C4. • House #5 is a small building/garage. There is one enemy inside -- for the cleanest shot, plug 'im from the north, through the boarded-up window. A uranium facility map can be stolen here. • House #6 is a large hangar on the Baltic Sea, and is the largest one in the compound. Enemies outside are: - Sentry on west side - Sentry by north side [near crane] - Sentry by north side [near north brick wall] - Sniper on north-side crane Within are a couple more enemies who, if alerted, will pour out of the east or south doors [the latter a huge hangar bay opening]. If you choose to infiltrate through the hangar doors, just inside to the west is a small table by a stairway, containing a nautical map. • House #7 is just a small shack 'n' garage, and no enemies within the office area. It's near the eventual extraction point, however. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) LOCATE FREQUENCY BOOK ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ As mentioned, House 1 will [always] have a single enemy inside, located in the barracks if unalerted, and probably by an east window if the opposite. When taken out, the small table within has a codebook. Ooh, ciphers. • There may be a glitch here [one of a sort that is commonplace later on] where the enemy in House 1 may spot the SEALs from through the wall. To avoid this, make sure that everyone creeps along the southern fence and gets a position through the window/door to neutralize. An alarm going off doesn't do anything but put the enemies on guard and mess up most of their routines, but it's still inconvenient. • If you haven't taken out the guy south of this house by the frozen-over sea, make sure to do that. There's also a sniper in the crane nearby [an orange rectangle represents these on the tacmap] that needs to be taken out ASAP, as he will phone in most alarm soundings if you take out his cohort at the base before then. Good policy anyway. But that ain't all! Position yourself by the southern dock and look straight down the walkway; eventually a poorly-dressed mercenary walks by on patrol and can be put in a watery grave. ^____^ • Also, from near House 1's north side, look northwest past House 2. There is a guard who eventually walks towards House 1, and should be taken out before such a tragedy happens. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) LOCATE FACILITY MAP ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Move north along the fence by Echo/Delta until the four buildings in close proximity are in view. • First things first, take out the sniper at building #4. He'll quickly put a damper on the stealthy infiltration [if you got one! ha!]. Keep that balcony in-sight as well, because another sniper will take his place. When clear, continue moving along the fence until it goes west. • Before moving like a stampede, stop before the snowy alley separating the 3rd and 4th house. If an alarm's been triggered, there may be an enemy in this place with his gun pointed toward the street. Get the jump on him if possible! If no one's there, continue north by the fence and using buildings as nice shields from the street. • The north side of House #5 has a boarded-up window...but that doesn't mean flimsy plywood stops bullets! Go prone and shoot the enemy behind there! • If no alarms have went off, yer one smooth customer! Two enemies will be found in their regular spots here. One in white standing in the road, and one in camouflage down by the frozen water. Both can be shot from behind House #5. • When they're all taken care of, enter House #5 and take the facility map! _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 05) LOCATE PLANE SCHEMATICS [BONUS OBJECTIVE] _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The next objective can be done in House #4. • There is often one guy standing in the doorway of this place, so there's not a very good direct way to neutralize. Instead, backtrack around east to the fence area and do it from there. Also take out any snipers you may have forgotten about on the balcony. This is often where people mess up. Play it safe! • Inside, there is one enemy on the ground floor, patrolling behind the stairway and pipes. He may walk towards the entrance, at which time it's good measure to coldcock him out of existence. • When the upstairs office is completely clear, put a C4 charge on the wall safe and get out of the blast radius. For some reason, even if y'get near the target, it can be hard to get the icon to appear. Try different angles because simply standing and pointing with the crosshairs does nothing. =/ _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06) LOCATE FABRICATION LAB
_____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Is the alarm getting annoying? Don't worry -- it'll be silenced soon. The next target is House #2! • This place is divided by a wall, making the one room like two. An enemy in camouflage can be shot through the southern window/doorway, while a parka- -wearin' guy stands in the northern half of the room, often in a corner. The latter's in a pretty inconvenient shooting spot, so either lure him out with gunfire/flashbangs/etc. or fire through the west window. Now, there's a doorway inside here that leads to the underground fabrication lab. • With an alarm going off, there may be one or two enemies standing at the stairtop, maybe behind a door. If possible, open the door without belying Specter's position, adjust the camera, and bumrush + riflebutt as silently as possible! Wait and see if more enemies come up the stairs. • With Bravo also in the place, order everyone to Fire at Will and Secure the Area. Alternately, stand on the stairtop which lets any coming up the lower area get shot by Jester, and those to the east on the 2F level can still be riflebutted through the banister. Make sure to shut off that g'dang alarm on the north-wall switch. ^___^ _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) LOCATE BOMB BLUEPRINTS 08) RECOVER INTEL _____________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ In a 2F room is a nice scroll of bomb blueprints! This will solve the #8 objective as well. If it doesn't, you missed a piece of intel somewhere along the way, either at House 1 or 5 [or both!]. Eventually, the lady on the two-way will say there's a change of plans and destruction of this "weapons lab" has to be cleared before it can be burnt to a crisp. This does take a while, too... I suggest waiting inside of the white tent because, even if you leave Bravo team upstairs to fend off any enemies, I've had some basically 'appear' out of nowhere downstairs and kill me! NOTE: It helps to leave Bravo team by House #2's south entrance, because that is where enemies spawn in a second when the lab goes boom. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 09) DESTROY FABRICATION LAB ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When the head's up is given, set a satchel in the downstairs laboratory and hightail it out of there. Get the intel here as well if it was forgotten, because it fails two objectives if blown up. Make sure Jester doesn't get stuck down there. Everything up to the entry stairwell gets nuked, so keep away when exfiltrating. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 10) ELIMINATE ENEMY PERSONNEL ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Whew, the lab's gone! • Two enemies will attack House 2 from the south, so be sure everyone's got a finger on the trigger. They're by the crates and may enter inside, also. A couple approach from by House 1 when you get near, too. [They may be leftover from House #6, I'm not sure] But anyway, House 6 is actually a gigantic hangar we're aiming at. • Attacking from the north is the best gameplan. Destroy the sniper on the north crane rig, then the two enemies on that side of the hangar. Walking on water [hehe] is a pretty good cover with ledges over chest high. From here, switch southeast to the frozen bay on the east side of the hangar. Ride some waves here and use your sniper scopes to pick off enemies walking around there [newly appeared] and any that may be approaching from House 7. They'll be frantic so let your teammates do some of the work as well! • There's a 'spawn glitch' here where enemies suddenly appear in side when someone walks on the southern door grate. Use 'Fire at Will' to get these guys good, although I should note that if you visited here previously and eliminated all threats, there won't be too many enemies left that didn't already get smoked on the approach. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 11) LOCATE NAUTICAL MAP ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ With all threats done, enter inside the southern hangar doors and locate the small lamp-lit table with the map on it. This doesn't contribute whatsoever to the 'Recover Intel' objective even though it's a secondary part of it... Just another weird SOCOMy thing. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 12) MOVE TO EXTRACTION POINT ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Extraction point is marked with a star, south of the hangar. Hopefully all teammates made it. It's awfully hard to get through this level with great stealth due to glitchiness and dumb ally AI.If you pull out with a 'B', you're awesome. If you get 100% on Accuracy, Teamwork, and Mission Completion, it might be possible for an 'A'. Only in dreams, aye? _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 11) GUIDED TOUR [WK11] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: The Russian Security Service has just discovered another of Force Majeure's clandestine operations. A recent radiation spill at a uranium processing plant in their country was orchestrated by Force Majeure posing as plant technicians. The spill sent hundreds of Northern Star employees home indefinitely while the supposed clean up crew de-contaminated the facility. The de-contamination crew almost certainly consists of terrorists masquerading as decon crew members. The RSS informs us the plant has enriched uranium cake powder stored off site. We do not know if Force Majeure has accessed this storage facility, but it is evident that our enemy is smarter than we would like. They may well have already obtained an indeterminate amount of nuclear fuel.

Like previous missions, do not bring a thermal scope because it only deters vision in these freezing temperatures. MISSION : 01) Escort FLATFOOT to Area One. 02) Escort FLATFOOT to Area Two. 03) Escort FLATFOOT to Area Three. 04) Extract with FLATFOOT. NOTE: If you want to get all bonus objectives and such, the long way around has to be taken. Silo 1 and 2 are joined, but it's stupid to enter a base full of enemies, aye? ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) GATHER INTEL AT AREA 1 ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Yay, more Siberia-like temperatures! There is an escort throughout the mission named Flatfoot, needed to check on the missile silos. • Alarms will go off if the enemy gets time to radio in. The first time it happens, a helicopter will be summoned to the premises and needs to be shot down. Although only one base gets the alarm, other enemies get put on alert as well [especially road enemies]. Those indoors may not be affected. • The mission fails if Flatfoot bites the big one, so take care to keep him out of harm's way. Ditching him in a safe hiding spot while neutralizing the enemies nearby is a good idea, at least until the player familiarizes him/herself with the topography. One good thing is that Flatfoot has a radio so he doesn't have to be nearby to be told to Follow/Hold Position! Just be careful because Flatfoot does not follow Fireteam-issued orders, and may muck things up if you forget this. • The road in front of area one has two patrols. They walk south and stop to chitchat a bit, so if shot from the south [go around rock by insert point] there's a good chance they won't notice anyone. It also pays to do it here because no enemies will see the sentries downed. For a nice 'trick shot', try and use one bullet to kill both enemies while approaching the convo point. ^___^ If you're patient, after a minute or two, another pair of patrolling patsies will leave the compound gates and start walking the road. Don't stumble into camp with these guys around -- safety first! • There is a camera on the silo entrance within the camp, surveying the road leading into the small compound. Take it out from across the road, if your weapon's got a scope to do it. If an enemy/camera idenfies the SEALs, a helicopter springs up and will basically perforate the stealth rating. Here's how this place is shaped. ---------------> NORTH |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | |¯ ¯¯¯| |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯' | | | | , | | | | | |_______| | | _ |___ _| | | |_| ___ | | | | | | _ |___| | | |_| C ____ | | _ ' || | |_| '____|| |___________________ ______| | | • If no one's been alerted, this place isn't that hard to clear. Approach by the southern fence [prone of course] and a conversation about how no resistance has been met plays. Eventually the two starts walking toward the silo entrance at navpoint Charlie -- snipe both before they can get air support. [Alternately, park Fireteam across the road and shoot one to get the other's attention; order Fire at Will and they'll neutralize and regulate.] • The southern of the two big buildings is the exact same shape and make of the other, except this time there's only one enemy within. He's standing by some bunks, and shooting through the SW window gives the best chance of being undetected. • The northern of the two big buildings has two enemies within, one around the barracks portion and one in the small office adjacent. Breaking glass at this part would probably alert one, so shoot the bunkmate through the open door. KO'ing the other can be done in whatever fashion, although a tiptoe through the house + riflebutt works alright. Now it's time to enter the silo. It's below-ground and has two floors that can be accessed. When the main stairwell is reached, enter the first door. • Flatfoot is not armed, so you might as well leave him in the stairwell for this part -- keeps him safe and he doesn't get in the way. • There's a small concrete corridor leading into the circular room. Unlatch the door and [if unalerted] there will be an enemy with his back to the thing. Riflebutt him when possible, although waiting for the patrolling guard to leave is wise. Said patrolman walks counterclockwise, if 'north' is 12:00 high. A 3rd enemy is in the room surrounding the shaft, and is a wild card of sorts. Fire at Will + Secure Area helps if you don't want to make Specter flush him out. Return to the main stairway and go down to the 2nd and final doorway, which is the silo bottom. • If alerted, one enemy will come through the door, giving another takedown opportunity with the riflebutt. Try and take out the other two before they summon a helicopter, something the mid-level guys may not have. Locate the clipboard by the shaft and order Flatfoot to 'Take Item' This completes the objective. • Should luck have ran dry and a helicopter is about, hide Flatfoot in one of the buildings and order team to 'Fire at Will' and 'Hold Position' on the grounds. Eventually they'll down the 'copter. Don't waste too much of Specter's ammo doing this because the others can take care of it. [Also, the flight pattern is always the same, so there's no unexpected drop-ins.] The helicopter's machinegun can KO allies pretty easily, so give them some cover [such as along east side of building that had two enemies within.] Sadly, the alarm does not stop if the heli's sent to hell. =/ ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) LOCATE CARGO SHIP MAP [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ So, Silo #2 is up the road at navpoint Delta. • There are four enemies that will approach down the road, quickly if they heard an alarm, and slowly if on casual patrol. Both come in twos, so if you lie in wait for them, they may just walk into the SEALs' sights. [One thing I've liked is taking them out /before/ Area 1's tackled, helping a bit later on]. • If you look at the tacmap, the road between Compound 1 & 2 curves around a ridge. This ridge can actually be gotten onto, before or after nearing the 2nd outpost. It overlooks Delta and is generally a great place for sniping without being seen, although I'll note two enemies can be found up here on the beat -- don't let them ruin the day! |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| NORTH | |¯| |¯| ___________ | /|\ | ¯ ¯ | ' | | | | |¯ ¯¯¯¯| |____| _| | | | | MAP | | | | | | \ \ | | | |____ _| |¯¯¯| | | | | | | D | | | | | | |¯ ¯¯¯¯| |___| | | | | | |ALARM | / / | | | | OFF | / / | | | |____ _| / / | | |___________________/ /______| | | | • Before entering, check by the entrance gate for enemies who may standing on edge, and take down the camera attached to the silo [not that it will matter if the alarm's on]. Enemies will pour out of the compound if they know the SEALs are present; if not, one group of two will patrol around, and one will stand guard by the old flatbed [maybe in some brush]. • The eastern of the big buildings has an alarm switch that turns off the alert. There is often two enemies inside -- one in the barracks looking out the south window, and one who uses the north door and steps out for patrol. Take this guy out [from behind west fence for best measure] 'cuz he will radio in if friend is shot through the window. The other large building has no one in it, but does have a cargo ship map that completes a bonus objective. • One house has boarded-up windows. A glitch is here where if you walk by them, the enemy may become alerted to the presence. I think the game treats them like normal windows, so you may be able to maintain a neutral alarm state by stealth. Alternatively, enter through the garage entrance and quickly riflebutt the guy to get him out of the picture. The silo is next up. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) LOCATE BOMB BLUEPRINTS 04) LOCATE ADDITIONAL INTEL 05) COLLECT INTEL AT AREA 2 ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • If an alarm went off at all, enemies in the first silo door will probably be waiting for the SEALs. Thus, any frags or something thrown in may just bounce back. Riflebuttin' is the quickest way, and there'll be a 3rd man who walks down the hall. Hide in the corridor's corner and slap him with the equipped weapon. • On the basement floor, the map changes -- this place is HUGE! Destroy the three enemies here in the first silo as silently as possible. Two walk by the door, and can be riflebutted + dragged out of sight, while a third is in the main silo shaft. The passages lead south from here. • A tunnel leads to a small junction, continuing south even more. No enemy will be in this part at first, but when nearing the door, there's a high likelihood that someone(s) run out. Preserve the stealth rating somewhat by doing headshots immediately. One more man is in there, and the tunnel door adjacent to the generator location will probably open also, showing a single foe. • Beyond, only one of the tunnels is accessible [the rest stuffed with casks of sand]. Headshot the one that runs out, and when the coast is clear, a soldier inside the room will peek out from his hiding place. Shoot him, then the parka-wearin' one that emerges. There are actually two or three more within, so an HE/Frag grenade might help just the same. The bathroom and barracks have no purpose, so skip 'em. However, the room with some crates has a ladder that opens into a storage loft. Bomb blueprints sit on one of the boxes. This complets all bonus objectives if the cargo ship map was acquired. • The silo at navpoint Charlie contains the 2nd intel sheet. Beforehand, an insurgent will probably emerge when the door's approached; take him out in a previous fashion. 99% of the time, he's the silo's only enemy. However, a small antechamber in the north is actually a stairway leading to ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 04) COLLECT INTEL AT AREA 3 ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Just one more compound left. • Check the ridge between Compounds 1 & 2 for an enemy duo if you haven't already. Don't need these annoyances running around with life still in their veins. Two more walk the road near Area 3; pretty good shot from any location, although I prefer the ditch by the frozen lake. • The good thing about the third compound is that the information isn't in a silo, but rather a maintenance office adjoined to the garage. Destroy the camera on the garage's upper wall when given the chance! • Use the brush to survey the entrance to the facility, so Specter is peering southeast. This allows him to see the patrolling enemies in the distance behind the lone guard. Shoot him when the other two are walking away. Two more patrol the facility's inside, and are open targets from basically any direction, really. One more patrols by the north edge of the garage's fence. • To take the garage, use the sheltered door [not the west one] and get your gun ready. The enemy will be standing near the entrance either way, facing it most likely. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) MOVE TO EXTRACTION ZONE ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The extraction zone is at navpoint Foxtrot, in-between Compounds 2 & 3, on a frozen lake. Pretty easy to get there, although don't underestimate any patrols you may have missed... I lied -- this is probably my least favorite level. The long way 'round does not exactly help the overall performance percentage half the time. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 12) DOOMSDAY DELIVERY [WK12] _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ OVERVIEW: Our intelligence sources have been working round the clock to locate Force Majeure's dirty bomb. We now believe that members of Force Majeure and their bomb are onboard a cargo ship registered as the Bitter Moon. Their current heading take them to the upper Western Seaboard and the port of Seattle. If Force Majeure's has used the missing nuclear fuel to build a single dirty bomb, it would be the longest ever constructed. Intel indicates that the terrorists will detonate their bomb in or near the city of Seattle. The resulting fireball and seasonal offshore winds will carry the radioactive material high into the air resulting in signfiicant fatalities, untold illness, and economic devastation. Force Majeure must be stopped at all costs. WEAPONS : Assault Rifle: M4A1 SD ------ [RECOMMENDED] Shotgun: 12 Gauge Pump Assault Rifle: AK-105 Rifle: M16A2 Rifle: M16A2-M203 Submachine Gun: HK5 SD Submachine Gun: HK5 Rifle: M14 Sniper Rifle: M40A1 Machine Gun: M60E3 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 Sniper Rifle: SR-25 SD ------ [RECOMMENDED] Assault Rifle: M4A1 Assault Rifle: M4A1-M203 Silenced Pistol: MARK 23 SD Silenced Pistol: 9MM Pistol - [RECOMMENDED] Pistol: SP-10 Pistol: MARK 23 Grenade: MARK141 Mine: Claymore -------------- [SPECTER ONLY] Grenade: AN-M8 Rocket Launcher: AT4 -------- [SPECTER ONLY] Grenade: M67 ---------------- [RECOMMENDED] Grenade: HE Equipment: Double Ammo ------ [RECOMMENDED] Explosive: C4 --------------- [SPECTER ONLY] * Specter has mandatory Red Smoke & C4, meaning he only gets one extra accessory for this final mission in the game. His allies are all clear, however. No sniper thermal scope this time...go for Double Ammo or flashbangs, for the leader's capture part. MISSION : 01) Secure Ship's Bridge. 02) Disable Explosives. 03) Signal All Clear to Sub. Ah, one of the best missions in the game... If you want to preserve a stealth rating in this level, and it can be hard with glitchy alarms, achieving a high number of stealth kills [enemy not currently aware of SEALs] is a great help! ALSO: - If you found Bomb Schematics, defusing bombs takes half as long! - If you found the Cargo Ship Map, bomb locations are marked on the map! MAJOR NOTE: If you hate this level as much as I do, it's possible to get an 'A' as long as you just ensure there aren't that many shots fired, and the other categories [Accuracy Rating, Teamwork Rating, Mission Completion] are very high. I had 4 stealth kills and 181 shots fired and still got an 'A'... and I went around with a team having two shotguns! Consider it if you find uber-stealth an annoyance. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) DESTROY HELICOPTER [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • GLITCH WARNING: Often times if you move by the hallway and fire, or even if you don't, an alarm will trigger and screw things up a bit. I suggest taking out the first enemy normally, then moving everyone by the stairway to destroy the sniper. It CAN save some grief. STAY AWAY FROM THE SOUTHERN LONG CORRIDOR IF AT ALL POSSIBLE TO PREVENT GLITCH FURTHER. The SEALs start in the cargo ship's mid-level section, which goes west past ladders leading to the upperdeck, and east to where a helicopter is [also on upper deck.]. All objectives must be completed within 35:00 in order to get away from this uraniumbomb of a boat, comprende? • Here is the suggested order of movement at the very start: 01) Kill enemy east of initial position 02) Move to nearby stairway and kill sniper 03) Move Fireteam to east part of upperdeck. Kill foe inside stealthfully. I suggest this route because it completely avoids the southern of the long hallways, which has an alarm glitch of sorts [or at least appears to, 'cuz it's dang annoying]. After many methods of hiding and such, I find the best way to take these guys out is from the northern stairway, after they have just walked under the eaves. • Climb up to the sniper's position [a good reason to bring a rifle here]. It's possible to pick off any enemy(s) around the crates -- I counted at least two. They won't be alerted unless Specter has done so, although when the helicopter blows up, they MAY investigate depending on where they are in their route. You may have to wait awhile to get both; however, more often than not, they come in pairs or one finds the corpse. When the all-clear's around, plant a C4 charge on the heli and watch it burn! Even though it's a huge explosion, still-living foes may not investigate. • At this time, you may want to kill Arjan Manjani and his cohort since they may mess up a bonus objective later. On the mid-level deck, railside, move west along the northern of the two corridors. When you get near the area with the stairs to the bridge tower, a conversation with Arjan and his friend will play. If you stand erect and approach from the north, there's a clear shot through BOTH of their heads in one bullet! Take the shot, private! Does Arjan look familiar? He should, if you listened to his conversation... ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 02) DISABLE BOMB 4 ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now it's time to work on the bombs. Going 1-4 is REALLY hard [and that's the strategy I was trying to sell the first time I wrote this], but going through the opposite isn't as much. Here's how we roll: • After Arjan and his friend have a new cranial cavity, go west to the ship's bow. Enter the door [leading south] to navpoint Delta. There's a stairway here -- take it down. • There are three doorways here, two in close proximity. One opens south to a laundry room [vacant] and the west one leads to a room with two guards in it. Open it, see the enemy with his back turned to Specter, and shoot him. The other enemy here wears a large furry hat, easy to spot through the central mechanical pillar-thing. • The room adjacent [north] is a dead-end with Bomb 4. It contains one guard inside, so either throw a flashbang and subdue/kill or wait for his head to turn and attack then. Disable the bomb and we're good to go! ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 03) DISABLE BOMB 3 04) DISABLE BOMB 2 05) DISABLE BOMB 1 06) DISABLE EXPLOSIVES ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A word before this next part. The rooms with the bombs are at navpoints Echo, Foxtrot, and Juliet. If the player found the cargo ship map in the previous level, their locations will be marked with a purple triangle. The good thing about approaching from this direction is that there is a mess of enemies we don't have to bother with [mostly]! • Before we can get to the 'easy' parts, bypassing the 'decoy room' [west of Juliet] must occur. The stairway leads down to that level, but an enemy is patrolling there. HOWEVER, he does not appear until Specter touches the cement at the stairbottom. Do it quickly [the 'enemy near' music plays at this point] and retreat back upstairs. Salvaging the stealth can still be done -- shoot him in his head when walking nearby. Silly enough, even if he does see you, there's a good chance he gets off a few shots and stays put. o__O • There are two doors by where the enemy patrolled, leading to some ladders that descend to the decoy room's access. Open the north one and wait a sec -- an enemy may spawn out of nowhere. Coldcock him before he's able to alert the others • Bomb 3's room has an access point at Juliet. Two enemies will walk on the upper balcony under normal [unalerted] circumstances, although if you get the short end of the stick, an enemy who normally walks the side hallways [past all three rooms] may be inside and get alerted. You'll know whether or not this contingency should be planned for if any of the sidedoors on the ground floor [Juliet or south entrance] are opened already. Disarm the bomb when given the chance. • Bomb 2's room is right next door, accessible from navpoint Foxtrot. This gives a good shot and scouting opportunities from the lowest area, although using the west doorway at the stairtop is good for surveying the patrols as well. Either way, the balcony only has one enemy to shoot. Disarm the bomb in the SE corner. • Bomb 1's room has to be assaulted a little more carefully, because there's no wall or partition that prevents the enemies near the deck entrance from having their suspicions aroused...that is, if the floorwalker hasn't been neutralized. Check either of the hallways' north/south passages for someone walking by. He's the first target. Enter through Foxtrot for the safest time, but be careful because the SE part of the balcony looks right down on the door. Two enemies within and there's a bomb in the middle portion of the room, around a cane-shaped path made by crates. If all four bombs have been unplugged, a major mission objective completes! ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07) SECURE BRIDGE ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The bridge is the ship's west tower, so backtrack the way you came until the open deck is reached. • Scout the stairs to see if any enemies are there. If you had alarms in the past, some may linger around [or be caught on the stair in my case, making for easy kills]. In normal circumstances, the vicinity's clear. • Take the stairs up twice, arriving at a balcony by a door. Ignore the door and creep west until you can see the path leading to another door. A parka- -wearin' enemy will be around here. His route is standing around and seeing the sights of Seattle mostly, watching over the railing. Not a hard enemy to neutralize. • Stand off to the side and open the door, staying out of harm's way. There is one enemy inside a hallway, and the sideroom is the crew's quarters -- 2 insurgents within. They'll hear gunshots so a throat-slit's the best way to keep them in the dark. The bunk area has one enemy inside patrolling, and makes an easy target when his back's unguarded. • On the westernmost exterior, climb three more stairways VERY CAREFULLY -- an outer patrolman is at the highest point. Take him out silently and order Fireteam to 'Attack to > Delta' which is the bridge. Three enemies are inside initially, and there's a lot less grief this way. Make sure to take Able around the other side to get enemies that pour out of that place. It's not a bad riflebutt corner, either. When all enemies inside are exterminated [one may be standing by computers and facing the wheel -- take care], turn the wheel and get this objective over with. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 08) CAPTURE VALESKA [BONUS OBJECTIVE] ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Approaching from the east is the only decent way to do this bonus objective, really, if you think about it. For one, it forces the target to do fight and doesn't let her escape; secondly, it kills all cohorts so she can't get any fire support. • Here is the enemy breakdown leading to the leader. - Two enemies around boxes near Echo, often in a pair - One enemy walking boxes by Foxtrot - Jasha will be alone by some boxes if alerted [probably, anyway] • When all enemies are finally able to die, Valeska is the last target. She is located west of all the crates and may be with Jasha. If stealth has been employed, take him out first. Then, FLASHBANG her! It often takes more than one to subdue her, so keep tossing. Make sure the 'Fire at Will' order is not in play or this will not go well! • If things go badly, Valeska will head towards the helicopter and try to escape the situation. Should she reach the heli and it's been wrecked, the desperate woman jumps overboard into the chilly waters. Either contingency fails the objective! NOTE: If done with extreme stealth at the very beginning, this may not mess up belowdeck bomb-defusing activities [except Bomb 4] whatsoever! It's also got a good placement because the Arjan conversation starts when near Valeska and they'll [always] be preoccupied, or revert to that state of mind if they were alerted before. Great deal if pulled off. ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 09) SIGNAL ALL CLEAR ___________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Return eastern uppermost deck's crow's-nest and deploy red smoke there to tell the Michigan to stand down. Hopefully the stealth rating here was not that perforated. ^____^ END OF GAME! Congratulations. There'll be an extra scene if you capture our dear Valeska, too (;p). Our radio leaves us with these words: "Team, you have succeeded in neutralizing Force Majeure and prevented certain disaster from striking the city of Seattle. Your valiant efforts have not only saved the lives of thousands of American citizens, but also helped send a clear warnign to terrorists across the globe. By now they must certainly know that those who dare to threaten the civilized world will be pursued and taken down. As you have demonstrated here today, the SEALs will not falter. Congratulations on successfully completing one of the more important missions any fireteam has every undertaken." --- Now that the game's been beaten, you can choose any of the previous missions in any order, and fight them on new ranks.
