Part II: A Binary Choice

Prologue

Make your way to your desk in the far corner of the office by the American flag and sit at the computer. When the phone rings, Max answers it and goes to find Winterson. The cop tells you that she is in the interrogation room. Head across the hall to the interrogation room and watch the scene between Winterson and the witness. After they are all done talking, talk to the witness and then leave the room. A scene will play between Max and Winterson. When you are back in control, head for the stairs that are through the large green doors by the rec room. Make your way down to the lock up and through the two doors. Talk to the cop and he will tell you Mona is in the last cell. Make your way past pukey and talk to Mona. After you are done, head back out to the woman police officer at her desk and use her phone. After the next scene, grab the gun and painkillers from the locker and open the door back to the lock up. Kill the cleaners inside and head all the way to the door at the far left. Kill the few more cleaners here and then a van will pull up on the right. Kill the cleaners that come out of it and make your way up the ramp and out to the street.



Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter One: The Things I Want

Now that we are back at Mona's creepy hideout and are back in control, take out the two cleaners directly in front of you. Turn around and head for the staircase. Before you go up them, lead the cleaners down to you as you hide under the booth to the left. Kill them as they come down the stairs and then make your way up to the booth to grab some painkillers. Head to the top of the stairs and enter the door there. Follow the ledge around to the right and kill the cleaners down on the street. When they are all dead, continue along the ledge and enter the door there. Down below there will be two cleaners talking about the attraction and what it all means.



Use the control panel there to swing the giant needle through the cage and kill them. When they are toast, head to the other side of the room and through the door on the left. When you go through, there are about 6 cleaners at the far end waiting for you. Pop your head out the door and then head back into the room and wait for them to come after you one by one. When they are all dead, head across the catwalk and there will be two more cleaners down below. Let them come up the stairs to you and then take them out. Make your way down the stairs and to the right, opposite to the hole in the wall. When you go through the door there a scene will play with Mona covering you.



Take out the few remaining cleaners in the parking garage and make your way up the stairs. When you come to where the cardboard woman had her head cut off earlier, there will be a cleaner waiting behind her. Take him out and make your way down to the street. Take out all the cleaners here as Mona helps you out. When they are all dead, Mona opens the door in the garage for you. Make your way through the open door and around the corner will be a crap load of cleaners. Mona will help you take them out but here are a lot of them. Make your way to the far end of the corridor and through the door on the right. A cleaner will come out when you open the door so kill him and then exit through the next door.



Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter Two: In The Middle of Something

After the scene, jump in the back of the van and grab the mp5 ammo and painkillers. Go to the open door near the other van and you will hear two more cleaners talking about where the cleaner is who went to the van. Wait for them to come around the corner and take them out. Head for the stairs to the left and make your way up and around to a room with red explosive boxes. Head for the double doors on the left wall and take out the cleaners there. Make your way into the lobby and up the escalator to a walk way above. Follow it to another set of doors into another room with some red explosive boxes in front of an elevator door. Shoot them and the doors will open. Walk into the shaft and drop down into the elevator. Make your way through the blocked door and to the door on the right in the next room. At the end of the hall is another door that leads to the outside and about 7 cleaners.



Open the door to let them see you and then wait for them to come to you. Gun them down when they open the door and make your way outside. Head for the door on the right and enter the hallway. On the right will be a door to take you back to the beginning where you can go loot another van that arrived for painkillers and ammo or you can continue to go straight through the door at the end of the hall which you will need to come back to anyways. Head through and into the next room. At the far left will be a set of double doors and some cleaners yapping behind it. Open it up and take them out. In this hallway, you can go either left or right and it will take you to the same place at the far end. Go down the left hallway though since there is a supply room along the way that has 4 painkillers inside. When you get to the end of the hallway, take out the two cleaners guarding the double doors here. Go through the door directly to the left as you enter the room and follow the stairs up to the room at the end.



Make your way around the hole in the floor and then across the board to the staircase on the other side. Follow the stairs up again to the next room with a hole in the floor and take out the cleaners to the right. Jump across to the open door way and make your way to the left hallway. Kill the cleaner there and enter the door on the right. Follow the room through to the door way on the other side and go left around the corner. Kill the cleaners here and open the door at the end of the hall beside the hole in the floor. Go through this room and through the hole in the wall to the next room on the right. In side here will be more than a few cleaners top take out. Once they are all dead, the room across from where you entered will have a sniper rifle and some ammo behind some boards. Grab them and head back out into the main room and jump over the hole in the floor to the open door.



Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter Two Continued

Walk through the weapons storage room and grab all the ammo, Mp5's and painkillers that are strewn about. Make your way up the stairs when you are done and go through the door on the left. Shoot the barrels on the bridge and they will blow to kill the cleaners out there and they will create a hole in the walk way. Hop over it and enter the next room that will have an open elevator door on the right wall. Enter it and hop up the crates to get to the next floor. Make your way through the next door and some new enemies will appear on the other side. Shoot the red boxes to blow them up along with the walkway. Hop over to the left and walk along there to the end. Hop over to the door way and enter. Make your way up the stairs through the door on the right. When you get to the top, you will now know that the new enemies are still just the cleaners with out their uniforms. Take out the goon at the top and head through the double doors on the left. Make your way across the walkway and let the cleaners inside come you. Take them all out and enter the room. Head through the glass door on the far wall and enter the room for of body bags.



Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter Three: Blowing Up

Now that all hell is breaking loose, you need to get the hell out of there. Make your way through the hall and around the corner. Enter the white door and a cleaner will call out your name. Before he can do anything to you, the wall behind him explodes and leaves a hole for you to go through. Enter the room and shoot the explosives on the desk in the corner to blow a hole in the wall. Jump across from the opening to the beam and follow it around to the other side. Jump across to the next ledge and enter the open doorway. Follow the hallway around the corner towards the orange light of the fire. Drop down the hole and drop down again to where there will be some cleaners firing at you. Take them out and enter the door that opened behind them.



Make your way down the hall and some boards will fall from above. Walk up the first one and hop up onto the second one to get over the fire in the hall below. Drop down to the floor and make your way around the corner to the double doors. Enter and kill the cleaners inside. Shoot the barrels inside to help you finish them off. When you are inside, grab the painkillers from the red tub and kill the cleaners on the floor below you. Drop down through the hole and finish off anyone you missed. When you are clear, drop down the hole again and head for the set of double doors. Run down the hallway to the right and jump over the red boxes block the hallway. Continue down the hall to the hole in the left wall. Run through to the other end of the room as it starts to shake apart. There will be a lot of stuff blowing up and falling down on your head, so the safest way I found was to run up the left side of the room after the wall explodes and then keep following the left wall to the end and then head for the window there. When you make it to the end, Max takes over and a scene plays.





Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter Four: Routing Her Synapses

When you start with Mona, you can hear two people chit chatting. You can see one of them at the very top in front of you and you can snipe him and his friend that will appear if you like. Make your way forward and up the stairs through the door on the left. At the top of the first set of stairs is a cleaner and a door. Kill him and head through. Another cleaner will be across and up on a balcony firing at you. Go for the door way across from you and head up the wooden ramps to get him. Continue your way up and watch you don't slip and fall of. I did about 5 times and it wasn't fun. When you get near the top a few more cleaners will appear. Take them out and continue going up until you reach the top floor. Take out the cleaner there and follow the wooden path to the elevator lift. Take it for a rode down and you will come to the area where you nailed the two cleaners at the beginning of the level.



Grab the 4 painkillers from the cabinet on the wall and head down the hall way. Go through the wooden door and you will come to a large area with a few cleaners at the far end of the hall. Make your way down there and take them all out. Grab their shotguns and MP5 and follow the wooden path to the right. Go up the staircase there and take out the cleaners at the top that appear. Continue along the hallway and up the next set of stairs until you come to the room at the top. Take out the lone cleaner in there and there will be more just around the corner down the hall. Take them all out as they keep coming in from the door to the far right. Grab the painkillers off the wall around the corner and head through that door. Make your way to the right and then to the left and you will eventually come to a door where you can hear some cleaners talking about a woman. Enter and pop their asses before they can attack you. Make your way through the door way on the right and down the open hole in the floor onto some boxes to end the chapter.



Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter Five: Out the Window

Maker your way down the hall through the construction and there will be cleaner mulling about. Take him out and make your way around to a wooden door. It will be locked when you get to it, but when you walk away some cleaners will come out of it. Kill them and then head through the door. There will be quite a few cleaners in here and most will be above you. Take them all out and make your way up the ramp to get their weapons and ammo. Head back down and through the door as you hear Max getting blown up. Make your way down the hallway to another door and head outside to see max jumping out the window. After the scene there are a lot of thugs coming to get Max and you need to keep him covered.



Use the sniper rifle from the ledge and snipe the three or four cleaners that approach Max. When he gets up, he will head towards where they came from and you will need to help him take them out. Head through the building and kill the cleaner there. Get to the ledge and continue to cover Max as he tries to open the gate. It's locked and he can't get through so he needs you to cover him some more. You need to find a better spot to shoot from so head back inside the building and don't forget to grab the loads of MP5 ammo right beside the door. Make your way through the doors and past the scaffolding to the next area. Head to the left and take out the cleaners that are around the corner. Make your way past them and then to where you started the level.



Continue past and some cleaners will break through the door at the end. Kill them and continue through the hallways until you reach the second out door area. There are a load of cleaners along the way so you will want to use bullet time and save up any pain killers you have. When you get to the window opening, take out the cleaner outside on the ledge and follow the stairs up to take out another cleaner. Mona will tell Max that she has found the spot to work. Take out any enemies you can see on the ground and scaffolds and Max will high tail it to another gate. You will tell Max that you will meet him in the next area and you now need to head back inside through the opening at the very top of the stairs. Follow it around and drop down into an opening and land on the boxes to end the chapter.



Part II: A Binary Choice

Chapter Six: The Genius of the Hole

As soon as you start his chapter, zoom in on the cleaner in front of you with either then sniper rifle or the MP5 and take him out. When he goes for a flip, grab the painkillers from the wall beside the door and make your way through to where the sniper was standing. Max will start running through the area below and you will need to kill the commando's to the left at the bottom that are all gathered near the building there. Of course the door will be locked and Max will need to get to one across the yard which he can't reach with out cover.



You need to find a better spot so get moving. Head back to where you started and go to the right. Follow the hallway to the far side where there are a load of commandos waiting for you. Take them all out and then head through the wooden door. Make your way around to the right, through another door and to the right again to a wooden ramp that will lead you outside. Look down below you and to the right and start popping commandos down there as Max runs over. When Max takes off to the next door, some commandos will come down a ramp to your left or just fire from the top depending on where you are standing. Make your way up the ramp and head inside the building to cover Max again. Enter the building and follow the corridor around to the right. Continue going to the right until you come around to a wooden door.



Enter the door and kill the two commandos inside the elevator shaft to the left. Drop down to the boards below and enter the doorway. Follow the ramp across and down into the next building. As you enter some music will start and there will be a few commandos gathered in here. Grab the painkillers off the wall and take out all the enemies in the main room. Take out the one up top the left and then head around to the right along the scaffolding and down the ramps to take out a few more. Jump from the scaffolding to the room on the left and there will be a few more baddies in here to take out. When they are all dead a few more will come up from the ramps that are leading downwards. Grab the painkillers from the boxes and then head down the ramp to the door way at the bottom. Two commandos will come to meet you at the doorway. Kill them and head out to the open area. Across from you will be a scaffold structure with two cleaners up top. Zoom in and snipe them as you hide behind a pillar. When they are dead head for the small building. To the left of it, two more commandos will appear. Kill them and grab the painkillers from the small wall. Head for the red cage in the far left corner and enter it. When you do, the chapter ends.



Part III: Waking up from the American Dream

Prologue

Another simple and easy prologue mission. Make your way forward through the room and make your way right down the hall until you come to a series of cells. In each cell another Max where you can listen to them talk. Make your way to the end of the hall where you hear Mona moaning. Make your way through the destroyed police station hallways and up the stairs until you reach the offices. When you finally get there, head over to the far left corner where your desk is and Winterson and Mona will be there. Listen to them talk and they will end the prologue.



Part III: Waking up from the American Dream

Chapter One: Too Stubborn to Die

When you start this chapter, you are back in the hospital from the beginning of the game. The commando outside the door is waiting for you to come out since you have no weapons. Grab the pain killers off the wall and run through the door. It will knock him on the ground and give you enough time to run through the large red doors and up the stairs. At the second landing, the red doors will open and you can go through. Make your way to the left and around the corner. Go through the first door on the left and follow through the room to the open door with blood stains on the ground.



Continue the cleaner that is dead on the ground and go through the double doors out into the hall. Make your way to the left and enter the recovery room. From there head to the room on the left and hide in the back where it is dark. Two commandos will enter the room and one will guard the door. Stay at the back of the room and watch where the other commando goes. Stay away from him and a security guard will enter from the other side of the room. When he is killed grab his gun and head out the door he came in from. Take out the two commandos when they follow you. Use some painkillers since I'm sure you'll need them and head back into that room to get a lot more from the desks. When you are ready, head back down the hall and enter the door on the left.



Make your way through and you will hear some security guards yell. Open the door ahead of you and some commando will be in there killing the guards. Take them out and head out into the waiting area where the TV is blasting. Head to the left and go around the corner and up the hall to the waiting commandos. There are quite a few of them up here so use that bullet time wisely and lead them around the corner to you. When they are toast, head into the room on the right to find two more. Make your way through this room into the next and out into another waiting room area. Shoot the TV because they are annoying and open the door on the right that leads to the stairs. There will be about 6 commandos in here waiting for you. Take them all out and head down the stairs. When you reach the bottom, open the red doors to the parking lot and take out the commandos in here. Head for the Black Van and the chapter will end.
