Rescue and protect

If you are new to game, i recommend to play tutorial before story itself, to get used to controls and even customize it if you are uncomfortable with default one ( my case :D ) Game begins with nice intro movie with authors displayed among with cutscene itself. John Mullins ( you ) and HAWK are standing on street near metro entrance while talking to a policeman. He first tells you that there is a police mission happening inside so you can't enter, but then afterwards, another policeman is killed granting you possibility to enter metro station. He will share you enemy leader name - SABRE. Your goal is to enter fight with a gang and try catch sabre, so your character will be spawned at the metro entrance with basic equipment like a knife, pistol and shotgun. The first thing you will see are stairs leading down to metro, as soon as you move out of spawn spot, enemy will lean out of wall and shoot at you. Harmless on lower difficulty level, but on higher difficulty, even this simple shot hurts. After killing this guy you should continue down. There will be two more dudes, one standing freely, another one behind fallen vending machine, this one is not much harm but beware of the doors that will be right behind you once you pass along this vending machine, enemy will kick them off and shoot you without mercy. Continue via alley, where you will see your first "friendly" human or in other words, hostage. Enemies will always try to kill them just like in this case, there is a bad guy aiming at her and if you don't kill him fast enough, he will kill her. There is a junction, where you can choose which way to go. I recommend going to the left, where you will see silver doors with large "Notice" label on blue background with "Authorized personel only" text beneath. You can open these doors and enter control room where you will find some supplies and CCTV monitor, when you use it, you will clearly see enemies running by your direction. They will kick out doors within few seconds so get ready for that and focus on them first. After wiping them out, feel free to collect items on that desk and weapons \ ammo dropped by enemies. When you are done with that, you can either continue straight and take 2nd left turn which is where you need to go, but if you want some more action, you can take first left turn, where you will get to toilets and see enemy peeing :D After getting rid of them you, you can first visit man's toilet, there will be 3 enemies waiting for you and shooting mercilessly at you. First one will be directly visible, another 2 will come out of toilet seats. Next, woman's toilet, same situation repeats, additionaly there will be scared hostage that will get killed if you don't kill first enemy fast enough. Take found items and head back to main alley. But be aware of enemy guy waiting you at woman's entrance. Right after turning left on 2nd stairs from previously mentioned corridor selection, another hostage asking for life will be found along with enemy threating him during your way via alley. After few turns you will get to ticket booth with enemies camping behind desk. They are hard to hit with shotgun from this distance, so i recommend switching to pistol and kill them by leaning out of wall at the end of alley. Or you can throw a granade at them if you are confident with your throw skills :D After that, get to that booth by jumping on desk and crouch by holding crouch key. This way you can get in. Right when you touch the floor, multiple enemies will spawn and start shooting at you, so turn around quickly and get rid of them. Collect items placed around and move lever placed on the wall. When you use it, short animation will appear showing that you opened a doors. Head on to narrow alley, in which hawk will contact you about NYPD ( New York Police Department ) being surrounded near station 6C. He wants you to join them. Continue to doors, open them. Don't get fooled by hostage that will run right in front of you. He is not an enemy so dont't shoot him :D Your desired way is right, but if you want some more action once again, you can head left, finding hostages with enemies, kill enemies only lol. And continue alley that will take you back near the office where you used CCTV monitor for the first time. Go again via alley that you already passed once. At least you don't need to worry about enemies when you do so, until you get back to ticket booth. Bow now, on left side you will see opened area ( remember lever ? ). Head on there. Careful with 2 enemies leaning out of wall, while going deeper downstairs. After several turns you will find yourself in front of another stairs down, on left you will see metal doors which will be kicked out by enemy that luckily won't shoot shoot immediately. So you have a little time to react. At the bottom of stairs another leaning enemy will await you. Next, you will reach train track, enemy will shoot one poor guy that will be ran over by a train, you can't save unfortunately as this all will happen right after you appear out of corner. Make sure to pickup nightvision glasses that will be right in front of you on floor. You need to walk via track to advance, but before you jump down, make sure to kill camping guy on your right side ( beginning of track ) who is hiding in darkness. You should definitely use nightvision at this part of game. Now follow track, there will be a slight right turn on your way, and hostage in the middle of it. Don't panic shoot him, i believe he suffered already enough. But a little bit further there will be enemy who will kill him as usual :D end his life. When you continue your way, a train honk can be heard and it will start coming your direction, you don't have much time so use one of niches on sides. Most safe is to use the first one on right side, but if you are fast as usain bolt you can even get to 2nd on left side with a guy who seems to be pretty relaxed in there :D Anyways, when you reach this 2nd niche, another leaning enemy will appear. You know what to do. When you reach end of the track, on right side there will be alley where you will see a policeman running right into enemies, of course he will perish. Careful there as there are many hiding enemies beginning with a hero jumping right into your shot. When you are done with them, continue your way where hawk along with policemans and harmless enemies who gave up will appear. Hawk will tell you there is a sabre right in your way and short cutscene will be played afterwards. Sabre will get away on train and you can't do anything about that, but your journey continues by jumping out of balcony on train roof that will start moving. Once again i recommend using nightvision here as visibility will be very poor. After few seconds, another train on your left side will appear with three enemies on it, since they are pretty close their accuracy is good ( very deadly at higher difficulty levels ). You can see them via semi-transparent parts of wall before both trains will actually pass it. So it is good idea to use this chance and kill as many of them as possible so less damage will be done to you. When you survive this gank, jump out of train and kill rest enemies, if you still have flashbangs or granades, use them as they will be grouped together so you can't really miss unless you are pro blind player :D When all enemies are wiped, a cutscene with hawk running your way will appear, saying that there are some news from "the shop" ( organization you are working for ). Congratulations on passing your first mission ! :-)

Nuke retreival

Mission starts with pretty simple but impressive animation. Mainly because you can see enviroment miles away and it all happens at high speed. So don't drink before this mission to avoid being dizzy :D You find yourself on a train that loaded nukes in previous cinematics. As you can see, it is not heavily guarded when it comes down to manpower. However there is one problem, a chopper ! Yep, you gotta face this heavy death machine, pretty harmless at lower difficulty levels, nightmare at higher. You can't take it down by any means so don't even try it. John mullins sneaked on the train on the end of it, so you will start from there. Helicopter isn't checking this part of train. When you spawn, don't instantly press forward button or this will lead to your fastest deaths ever after spawn. Instead turn over and head up. This mission is pretty straightforward, so you can't really get lost also thanks to nice moonlight supporting your way. All you have to do is to find those nukes, placed somewhere at the front of train. So, when you get on top of last wagon, head to front, right at the beginning of second wagon, there will be an enemy waiting especially for you. Jump down and go along with diesel engine to another wagon, there is a hard to see ladder, when you climb it, go further to front, there is no enemy yet, you then gotta jump to another liquid wagon ( looks like cylinder ) in case you don't make it, u most likely didn't pass practice course and rushed on missions instead :-P but back to mission, if you fallen down, you can simply turn around by 180 degrees and climb back up and try again. Once you jump on that 2nd wagon and walk beyond 2nd half of it, 2 enemies will climb slowly one by one on a roof of another wagon so you have enough time to walk up close and kill them with a shotgun, or if you prefer to keep range, you can change your weapon to pistol which is way more accurate from bigger distances. After you clear them out, you have 2 options to continue your journey, you can either keep walking the roof until end of wagon or use a hole and get down, on one side, you can press "use" button to open doors. On next wagon, 3 enemies will be awaiting you, camping patiently without a move. Most safe way how to deal with this situation is to throw a flashbang that you received at the beginning of mission and throw them behind crates without being spotted. This way you have couple of seconds to clear them out. After doing so. Destroy upper crates either with a gun or knife. Both works :-) Most likely a chopper will now notice you and start doing "wave shooting". At lower diffuclty levels, you can just run straight to another wagon ( passing the one with cement or stones or whatever it is filled with ). On higher difficulty levels, you should take cover behind crate and wait it out, until chopper flies by. After that, do the same, run to another wagon. Kill 3 enemies there and go on. There will be 2 enemies that thinks they are well hidden, however they are visible as sun in the middle of the day. Here i recommend to use pistol and shoot red barrel behind them, at least of them will die instantly, another one will be easy to deal with. This explosion will also cause crates around to shatter making it possible to continue further. Another hero will run upon you jumping out of wagon, you can easily shoot him mid-air causing to fall only body parts out of air ( of course if you use shotgun and aim well ). Careful as there is also one enemy hiding on the corner of current wagon, just right behind left crate. Climb up and continue. There will be an enemy far away shooting at you with a pistol, running upon you right aftwards. If you don't kill him fast enough, he will reach the hole of wagon and fall down, but don't think he will die, it is your job to end his life. Jump on that wagon, you can either go by roof or get on the floor. If you are quick enough, you can use bottom option, but crouch as soon as you land because there is a sniper on another end. It is better option to use a roof, if you want to play it more safe and kill him from behind. Finally you are almost at the front of train, literally 1st wagon after locomotive. Your goal is not to reach locomotive and there is really nothing interesting there, yep you can go up to front of the train and imagine yourself playing need for speed, but don't forget about a chopper that will definitely reach you again if you keep messing around. On left side of this wagon, there are doors, as usual press "use" key to open it, but don't rush in headlessly, instead camp behind wall and shoot enemies in a safe way. When you do so, you are 1 shot away from victory. You need to shoot control panel on doors. After that you can walk into cage and enjoy cutscene. Instead of four nukes you found only one, your character will say the damn word and place a C4 on it. When it denonates, a series of subsequent explosions will start to occur while John Mullins is running away from them. Making it out like a true hero !

Queen bee

A place where most of the civilization never wanna be. Kosovo, a place known for many wars that happened in real life. Anyways you will spawn here along with HAWK. A NATO bombing already began and you need to stop it ASAP. After spawning, there will be 2 enemies running after you right when you do few steps forward. This level is happening most of the time in interiors so you have plenty of room to hide at, and also you can use your lean pretty frequently to stay safe and shoot enemies without being hit. After killing them, go ahead but careful as right in the next room, there will be some guys jumping out of nowhere and another ones camping like there they are legless or something. Continue down to a hole in wall and then via alley where one of the enemy will run after you, 2 more will be on top of ledge. One more will jump down from a hole in roof. Turn right to continue your jorney, a small enviroment interaction can be seen on your way via alley, a falling pillar :-) after enjoying the fall continue to other end of this "tunnel" and kill enemy patiently waiting for you, one right directly in front of you, second one will be right above ( behind ) you. Additional one will appear in the hole which you need to enter afterwards. At the end of tunnel, there will be a ladder, climb up and you will meet up with HAWK who will shoot enemies that will be right in front of you, so you don't need to worry about them ;-) he will ask you to turn valve to build a water pressure. After doing so, short cutscene will be played. HAWK will place a C4 on sewer tunnel filled with a water that you just released. After explosion, massive flood will come into play causing another wall to break, making it free for you to pass. Flood is stopped once water reaches drainage canal. After cutscene ends, jump down on the road in front of you and follow tunnel path. This path will lead you to a wall destroyed by water, some enemies will await you there, after dealing with them enter that hole and continue your journey by killing another enemies found on your way. You should reach an area with 2 enemies on a balcony and falling pillar from above, it will fall down before you even get close so don't worry ;-) here you need to find a ladder from which an enemy will jump down, it will take him some time to recover from that fall so you have a plenty of time to decide what to do to him. Climb up the ladder. When you turn 180 degrees, on right side there will be a balcony where 2 previously mentioned enemies were. But your way continues by going to the left. Your way will lead you thru a vault that you have cleared already when you arrived at this zone. Some enemies will arrive from that mentioned corridor, so be prepared for that. Continue your way to the left, there are several turns to be done before reaching next enemies and a hole with ladder attached to it. On left side you will see some pretty nice path leading far from your current position, it may seem like impossible to climb up there but no worries, we will get you there shortly ;-) Climb down the ladder, head to left, you should be heading even further lower to the undergrounds. On left side there is a car blocking your way, however on right side there is a hole awaiting you :-) After jumping in, enviroment becomes fancy green, but don't worry, that water at the bottom is not an acid. Walk freely to another end of this alley where you find ladder. Right after reaching top of it, there is an action happening on the other end of alley. A car exploding causing roof and pillars to collapse, enemies screaming to protect supplies and wildly shooting at you. After wiping them ( one of them will literally die on his own after jumping out of exploding car ) i recommend to go left to narrow pathway, which leads to a road and high-placed continue way. The reason for this is to clear 2 enemies so you don't have to worry about them later. After doing so, get back to the fallen pillars and climb the ladder up on your left. Turn the valve. Gas pressure will cause pipeline to explode and fall down. This will create good object to jump on and get on that unreachable spot ;-) climb down the ladder and head to a place where i recommended to kill those 2 enemies, but beware, one more will be waiting for you on right side next to ladder. Go the the fallen pipilne, get as much on right side of the wall as possible and try to jump + crouch on the pipe lying along the wall. It might take few tries if you are unlucky ;-) You are supposed to go the direction of short pipe you have just jumped on. Alternatively you can use the ladder that is nearby ( remember the soldier waiting next to it ? ) climb on that ladder and you will be able to get directly on that long pipeline where you can jump on small one in much easier way. After entering that small room, multiple enemies will await you hidding behind pillars, you can use granades to get rid of them in a safe way. Next part will be more challening especially on higher difficulty, your best bet will be flashbang + leaning out of wall that is at the beginning of that long alley after first turn ( where enemies are waiting ). There are a lot of them so patience and aiming are important here ;-) Enter small bottom tunnel, it is pretty short and on other end there is enemy on opposite side of next room, another one will jump out of roof when you enter it and there is also one behind the pillar ( 2nd from right ) continue to the left, yep another tunnel with another one enemy. After doing 2 turns in the tunnel a part of it will collapse in front of you, creating you space where you can get out of it. But before you jump blindly out of it, make sure to kill 2 patient guys on left bottom side :-) Your journey continues the same way, switch to long range weapon like pistol or smg as there will enemy pretty far inside that alley. Go straight until you reach small room with finally no enemies camping. On left side there is a medkit. Take it if neccessary and go to the right. There will be a room with ladder and yellow smoke spreading out of pipeline, head up and destroy that part of pipilne with a gun or even a knife works :-) turn left and enjoy smelly pipeline :D luckily it is pretty short, when you reach end, jump down straight to another hole in front of you ( broken part of another pipilne with some fancy green floor. There will be some strange crates which mullins ( your character ) will comment with words "Doesn't look like a Serbian symbol on those crates" well i don't know how serbian symbols looks like but maybe he is right :D A narrow alley continues on right side of them, go there and then when you walk across it, there will be a small "window" on left side, enemy soldier will be standing there without noticing you, you can either kill him or continue forward ( you will need to kill him later ) after long walk of another part of this alley there will be second window on left, but this time enemies will notice you and do their best to stop you, revenge their fire and be the winner. A ladder on right side from that spot is pretty close so climb it and turn to the left. There will be multiple pathways on different height levels with first two enemies right next to you. Another one is hiding in 3rd pathway behind pillars. After killing him, the area is a clear and cutscene will be played. Rest your hands and enjoy it :-) The cutscene begins with a car crushing wall of crates, two mercenaries running towards mullins and behind them HAWK with KLA leader comes out of darkness. KLA leader asks for a favor, detroy an artillery in the middle heart of the city, while promising that the bomber you are going after is useless to terrorists. HAWK doesn't care about that promise as he knows there is a nuke onboard so he still focuses on that plane, and asks you to take care of that artillery. Here cutscene ends and you move on part 2 of that mission still named "queen bee"

You new beginning happens in some short sewer tunnel ( at least i think it is sewer, can't smell it really :D ). It has just a single turn to the left so you won't spend much time walking in it, once you are closed to an exit, HAWK will give a you call telling that he found a hangar with a lot of activity in there, and he is afraid of queen bee getting into sky shortly. John muliin will answer simply "Hold short". So keep your word and get to him quickly :-P but of course you have as much time as you need. Climb up ladder and get into narrow hole in the wall. On the other end of wall, as soon as you get anywhere close to its ending, 2 guys will die with a cruel explosion right next to them, some enemies will run into your direction so get rid of them. Huge explosion in a church will occur once you get close enough but still at a safe distance, at this point, you can not continue your mission unless you kill a sniper on your left side. He is camping pretty well so be ready and dont get shot as sniper does highest damage in the game and IMO their accuracy is pretty high even when you try to strafe as much as possible. Your best bet, as usual, is to use lean and quick shots. After his death, another small explosion will occur in the church extinguishing the fire making it possible to pass thru. Get ready to get camped from left side, lean out of doors and you will see patient soldier waiting for you without any cover, punish him. Next part will be little harder ( especially on higher difficulty ). Many enemies will be in various directions. So let's get started. The first one will be in window in the building in front of you, 3rd window from the left. Tihs one is sniper so take him out safely. 2 more guys will come your way once you leave an alley. Another heavily armed one will be right on roof of alley that you just left. Rest two will be on that remainings of destroyed balcony or whatever it is. Get on that balcony and continue your way via alley. It ends at some pathway, where onright side are locked doors, but on left side there will be poor man running your way, but you can't save him from these 2 enemies behind him, shooting mercilessly. At least you can have a revenge and kill them both. Follow the path, but carefuly as there are many enemies behind that turn, especially two are partially covered by that war wall. When you are done with them, walk up, but get ready for another action along with dog who is pretty fast and if you are bad at aiming, this one will be hard. But maybe by spraying shoots randomly around this doggy might be enough to kill him. He has no armor after all. But this doggy is supported by another 2 guys who won't stop chasing you while you mess with the dog. So you gotta be really fast. One additional guy is waiting at dog's spawn point. Next move is not neccessary but at least interesting to look at, if you walk close enough to wooden barricade, there will be some hostiges running for this live from right to left side. Also a chopper will appear in the sky, right behind you, but he will get hit by something causing him to flee without making any trouble. When you are done enjoying view of heavy flying machinery, head on to tunnel near you and prepare your gun to shoot 2 guys waiting you in there. Continue your way, and be prepared for another 2 guys waiting in a small windowed room. For beginner it might be difficult to hit them, but lean & shoot is your friend here. After clearing them out, destroy crates around you, there is a medkit in of them long with granades. Careful tho, if you get close enough to that earlier mentioned windowed room, enemies will destroy a wall behind you with a truck and start shooting immediately. On higher difficulty this is kinda painful. After killing them, open green doors nearby, but don't walk out, there is very accurate sniper waiting outside, he is on left side of the doors, waiting on top of stairs next to huge pillars holding the bridge. Kill him and you are free to walk out freely. Enjoy the view around you and go to that dead sniper. From there, you can jump to left side where another doors are waiting for you to enter. Some soldier will be running away from you on your right side, shoot his gas tank and make him burn in hell, his comrade will be right behind the wall by right side, and finally 3rd one, in narrow alley on the opposite side. Follow the alley path until you find a ladder that will be guarded by another guy executing innocent hostage. Climb up ladder, another innocent guy will die in front of you, all you can do is to revenge his death by eliminating these guy responsible for his death. Continue your way, you should find another doors leading outside. Here you should be careful, after approaching building on your left side, there will be some hard surprise for you, windows will break and merciless fire will be launched at you, on higher diffuclty this is kinda painful. Hide behind the crates and use leaning at your favor. There will be some additional guys coming your way directly on road. Follow path to the bridge, on right side there will be some cruelity happening. A tank crossing another bridge, so don't get too close to a gate at the end of your bridge, because this tank will instantly shoot huge ball directly your way, two soldiers are following it and trying to destroy it with just submachine lol. Another huge shoot from tank will make them dissapear forever. When you are done watching this gore, you will see huge hole in the mesh and pipe in a wall close to it. Do your best to jump in there. You will need to crouch in order to fit into it and be able to walk thru it. Luckily it is very short so you won't have to feel claustrophoby for too long. A ladder will be just few meters away. On upside, there will be 2 guys fighting enemies, but as usual, they will lose and die and you just can't do anything about that. So now it is your turn to make them pay with their life. After that, i recommend destroying all the crates around, there is some usefull stuff inside. Enter alley which you have cleared, on midway some guys will appear so react swiftly. Some more guys will be right after right turn and additionaly that annoying fast running dog, get rid of him first, then human enemies. A massive truck explosion will occur when you approach it. Go to the doors on left side. Careful tho, a sniper is waiting in a small window of tower on slightly right side with some more supporting guys on bottom side especially in huge wall hole, a granade will do the job, that's not the end tho, additional soldier will spawn on top of ledge behind as soon as you enter that mentioned hole. Once he is dead, enter hole and continue, on right side you can open doors where some supplies are waiting for you. Afterwards jump into another hole with big truck inside. When you climb up on wooden pillows, turn right, there will be a window that can be destroyed, couple of enemies with mad firing are awating you when you jump out of it, or you can stay inside it and kill enemies safely one by one from there. They are defending huge cannon which is bombing NATO as mentioned at the beginning. When all the enemies are dead, a cutscene will take place, it is pretty short and will just show mullins placing C4 on it, causing massive explosion and destroying it completly.

[ To be continued ... ]
