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 !

'The armory'

Take a seat and relax, because there is no action going on in this "mission". It is not a mission at all but more like get familiar with an organization you are working for. To be exact, the place where they reside. You spawn at the shop entrance. There is a car crossing by to make it look realistic, there is also rain and a man running while covering his head from this rain. Why he didn't enter the shop to buy a book and use it as umbrella ? :D After you enjoyed these little details, go downstairs, open doors. You will see typical book store, with nothing really special. Couple people around, but if you turn to a sam and get closer to him, on right side there is a toilet, which if you approach, doors will open and a man comes out followed by flush sound. When you try to speak with people using "use" key, they will just respond with some short sentence using irritating tone. You can enter a toilet mentioned, but there is still nothing special in there. Your only one goal at this point is to speak with Sam. When you do some, short conversation will occur leading you both to enter a doors behind him. Making it look like you are going to warehouse in front of other people that knows nothing about real purpose of that store. To make "the shop" even more secret, even behind these first doors there are no clues about secret base, but once Sam reaches wall and some electric box, he will mess with it a bit, and woala ! a wall opens discovering secret part, filled with a load of guns that would cover whole military needs. Sam continues to a steel ( at least i guess it is steel ) wall with a doors. You need to follow him and meet up with him, there is also HAWK there. Once you enter, doors behind you closes so well, nope you can't return to grab a weapon :-( After short conversation, it is your first time to enjoy login process to a system and equip yourself of your choice.
