Get in close to take out the one on the ground and then from there you can take out the rest easily. Head up the steam a bit more and you will swing around to the top platform and find a control panel there at the shelter to open the barricade to the next area. Press it and go through and the next area will load up. Now your objective will be to defeat the Helghast with a laser designator. Dead ahead will be a stronghold that you will need to follow the zig-zagged path to get into. Try and clear out the machine gun huts before you get to close and use cover when necessary. This part can take a while to clear out and to live through. When you finally reach the foot of the stronghold, enter the grounds and make a right and follow the path up and around to the top. Kill the remaining soldier there and when everyone is dead, you’ll have a new objective of accessing the bunker. Walk forward behind the rest of the team and a scene will play to end the mission.



Forging a Path

Now that you have a nifty new gun, it’s time to make good use of it. Creep up to the ledge and look down to see an APC to the right. Use the laser to lock on to it and then blow it up. Clean up the rest of the enemies here and head down the hill. Make a right and continue up the hill until you come to a tank. Destroy it with the laser and use cover from its guns. When it is toast, there will also be an APC behind it in the far corner to the left. Take out both and mop up the soldiers again. Now you round the corner and you will see a watch tower in the distance. Launch a rocket at the tower to destroy it and then charge the hill and go up the slope on the right side to enter the encampment there. Take out the enemies and proceed to the far wall where you will see another APC on the road. Shoot the gunner to disable it and continue down the path.



Destroy the air robot that comes at you and watch yourself as you round the next corner. There will be a tower to the far end and around the corner will b a tank, two APC’s and another tower. Destroy the first tower on the right and then creep up to the corner. Pop the tank with the laser when you are close enough and then the two APC’s can be taken out by killing the gunner on top. Once they have all been killed, clear out the tower on the left and press the control panel there to open the barricade. Continue up the path and the next area will load. When it does, you will need to traverse the jungle valley and try to stay off the rod as much as possible. Sounds fun doesn’t it? Continue forward and you can either go straight or to the left. If you go left you will follow a path around and come up beside an APC. If you go straight, you will face it dead on.



Either way, kill all the enemies there and continue forward. Make a right down the road and on the left there will be another small path. Head down it and kill the Helghast at the end. When they are dead, continue going straight to the next path and make a left up the hill. There will be a few heavy gunners here as well as an encampment at the top of the hill. Take everyone out and make a right at the top to enter the camp. Grab the big momma gun there and the health and make your way to the control panel next to the tent. Press it and go through the barricade that opens up. Make a left down the path and follow it around. Take out the sniper on the top of the first hill and continue around until you come to some new Helghast. These guys are pretty tough and they have an APC for company. Take them all down and make you way down the hill to the bottom.

Here you will get a checkpoint and there will be towers on the left and right. Take them down as well as the few enemies here and you will be given the objective of collapsing the bridge. Walk down the catwalk stairs on the right side and start to take out all the Helghast that are patrolling around down here. Walk to the left side and press the control panel there and some platforms will fall away. Head to the other end and press the control panel there and a platform will fall giving you a ramp to get off the bridge on. Why there are controls to collapse the bridge I have no idea, but walk around the rocks and the bridge will fully collapse. Make your way up the path on the left and you will be told to meet up with the rest of the gang on the road. Kill the few heavy gunners you run into and continue going up and left to hear your squad fighting. Meet up with them and head down the road to the right to load the next area up.



Once you are back in control, the new objectives will be to locate some explosives and to defeat the Helghast machine gun posts. If you are still using Rico, the easiest way to get past this part is to charge at the machine gun hut and enter it from behind. Kill the guard inside and then let the rest come to you. When both gunners are dead, the team will come up to meet you. Continue through the camp and at the far end in the left corner will be a anti-aircraft gun. Take it out and directly to the right will be a small building with the explosives in front of it. Grab them and then some Helghast will come through the barricade that will now be open. Take them down and go through yourself in to the next area. Make a left and follow the path killing everyone in your way. When you reach the next set of tents, there will be three large tents that are covering crates and boxes. In each of these there will be a circle on the floor to place an explosive. Place one in each and head for the gate to the right.



When you approach it, the explosives will go off and more Helghast will enter the area. Take them down as you r run through the gate and continue to the right where the machine gun turret is. Blast it good and you will be on your way to the bunker. Walk up the hill and you will get the objective to enter the bunker and kill the commanders inside. Easy as pie. Walk towards the bunker and head for the left side. Follow the walk way there and enter the bunker. Kill the enemies as you come across them although there won’t be all that many. Weave your way through the hallways until you reach the last large dark room and the commander will be inside there. If you still have your big momma gun, fire a few rounds into the room to kill everyone inside, other wise keep popping around the corner until the commander is dead. Once he is, walk to the green computer screen on the left and the mission will end.

Hidden Pasts

Once again I chose to use Rico on this some what short mission. Now you’re on the hunt for some transportation and the missile base is the closest thing. Head forward and kill the few enemies in front of the archway. When they are down, enter it and kill the few more under it. Continue through and if you aren’t using Rico, you can climb the ladder to the right to get a higher vantage point. Take out the gunner on the APC that pulls up and continue along and some heavy gunner will run out in to the open. Take them down and continue to the missile base. Grab the ammo and health and the gun that Luger uses if you like. Head up to the left to the opening in the wall and you will get a checkpoint as well as a new objective of defeating the APC’s.



Enter the base and you will be on a walkway leading left. Kill the enemies here and there will be some more out in the center of the area along with an APC. Run to a gun placement and it will be a grenade launcher. Use it to nuke the APC and soldiers and another will roll out. There will be three that come out and then the bridge to the center will lower. Head across when you have killed the majority of soldiers there and enter the small door to the left of the large door to enter the missile base. When you enter, you will now have the new objective of find and killing General Lente and his bodyguards.



Enter the second room ahead of you and it will fill will enemies. Mow them all down as they appear on the far side and then a door will open in the center of the far wall and lead down a ramp. Pop the two guards there and then the two doors on each side will open and flood the room with more soldiers. Kill them all and enter the door on the left and follow it around to the center door. Go through there and follow the stairs down and around and through the door at the bottom. When you enter here, kill the few enemies in here and head left down the corridor there. Go down the ramp and pop the enemies in the bunker at the bottom. Head down there when all are dead and make a right though to the missile storage.



Kill all the enemies in here at the far end and you will get a new objective of having to activate the missile engines. Follow Templar to the door and go through. Now you will simply just follow the hallway around until you reach the white room with the missile silo. Activate it and enter the next room to activate the second one. When they are both up and running head down the stairs and through the door to come to another checkpoint. Head down the stairs in the center and follow the hallway to a control room with a view of outside. Clear out the room and then head down the stairs to get outside. When you are out there, kill the bodyguards on the landing pad and then pop the general. Walk over to his body and the ending mission scene will play.

Onwards and Upwards

As you and the team land at the base of the mountain, you need to traverse it up wards through the cold and snow to reach the uplink. Again I picked Rico for this mission because he is just a brute. Head forward and you will come to a cliff over looking a camp. There will be a lot of explosive boxes inside so shoot them to take out a good number of enemies there. When everyone one is dead, go to the left side of the camp and press the control panel button to lower the barricade to the right. Go through and you will reach a check point as well as a swarm of Helghast soldiers. Knock them all down like bowling pins and continue along the mountain pass to the left. As you round the corner on the right, there will be some enemies to the top right. Kill them and watch for the few enemies on the left on the other side of the small hill there.



When the two on the right are dead, walk forward and then left to start kill the enemies there. Continue to the end and make a right along the path there. Grab the giant RPG there if you like and head along until you reach the left turn. Around the corner here will be a grenade launching Helghast. Hide behind the rock and take him out with pot shots when you can. When he is dead, run under where he was and use the rock there for cover from the gun turret to the far left. Take out the enemies there and move forward and follow the path along to another gun turret. Again kill the enemies there and make your way up the slope and go to the right to reach where the first gun turret was. Continue along here and you will eventually reach another checkpoint.



As you move forward, you will see a drop ship rise and take off. Walk forward and look over the ledge to see a base and a whole crap load of enemies. You can make your way to the left and follow the slope down to the entrance of the base or you can jump off the edge of the cliff like I did and then run inside the nearest tent. When you are in the tent, simply gun down everyone that tries to get in. Keep firing and help your teammates out as well by offing the crowd that will gather outside. Use the explosive crates to kill more enemies easier and then make your way over to the anti-aircraft gun in the far corner. Kill everyone there and use the control panel to open the barricade. Head forward towards the ice wall and the next area will load.



Now you have a few objectives that will require you to reach the transfer station, reboot the servers and realign the dish. No problem for you! Make your way forward to the stairs and make your way up. When you reach the top, kill the guards and enter the building. Climb the red stairs after the room is clear and head along the catwalk that will take you outside. Walk to the end and make a right to enter the building again. Kill the Helghast here and go through the door at the end of the hall. Climb the stairs here and at the third or so floor, enter the door way there and kill the enemies inside and hit the red button. It will reboot the servers and clear an objective. Head back out of the room and continue up the stairs. Enter the room there and take out the enemies at the far end and be sure to grab any ammo and weapons you need in the center of the room.

Head out the door on the left and walk around the catwalk and up the stairs. When you reach the top, kill the enemies on the far platform and walk across to the control panel when they are toast. It will lower a ramp for you and also complete another objective. Head down the ramp when you reach it and continue through the canyon until you come to a bridge that is retracted. Press the button to extract it and head across. Kill a few more Helghast along the path and you will eventually come to a long slope down with a building far in the distance on the right. Head down the slope and fight your way through the encampment of soldiers there and as per usual, use the explosive crates there to help kill some soldiers. Make your way up and around the path to the building and in front will be some tough ass Helghast. Take them down and head up the stairs. Run to the left along the catwalk and a very short ending scene to the mission will play.



Hope

Walk forward as the mission starts and you will walk into a shuttle bay. Your objectives now are to activate the shuttle lift and board the shuttle. Once again I took Rico for this mission because I have just gotten use to his toughness. Which character you decide to take will make a difference as to what you have to do at the end of the mission. Walk in to the shuttle bay and start attacking the Helghast. Make your way down the stairs to the lower level and to the front of the shuttle, there will be a control panel to raise it. Press it and the shuttle will go up. Now you need to head back up the stairs and head for the door on the opposite wall from where you entered. Kill the swarm of Helghast that will come through first and then head up the stairs there.



When you reach the top of it, walk around the catwalk to a large room and head up another flight. Kill the enemies here and make your way to the far end. Enter the hallway and make a left and continue to the end. You will need to use the walk ways outside on the left to go around the boxes, but when you reach the end, enter the door there and head up the next set of stairs. Make your way up them to the top and you will reach a checkpoint before you head outside. Go to the right and kill the sentry robot and you will get a new objective of activating the shuttle gantry. Head forward and you will see a drop ship come in behind you. Grab some cover and let the Helghast come to you. Pop them as they do and then another drop ship will enter on the opposite side.

After you take down the swarm there, head for the stairs and make your way up. Make a left at the top and walk to the control panel and press the button there. Once you press it the shuttle will be ready for take off. Head over to where the rest of the team is waiting for you and a scene will play as you take off to the SD. When you reach it, your objectives will be to board the transport module. Head left and follow the corridor to the end. Make another left and kill the enemy troops at the far end there and then a quick right. Clear out the room here and then head up the stairs and follow the catwalk around to the opening. Head up the stairs and make a right to the end. Go through the door that opens and clear out the control room and follow the team to a module.



Ride it across and watch the cool scenes outside. When you reach the other side, everyone will split up to do their own tasks and you as Rico, will be left to clean house. Luger called me fatboy. Follow them to the room they will sit and wait in and this part of the mission will end. As the next area loads, you objectives will be to defeat the Helghast in the barracks and access the command module to find the commander. Head forward and make a left at the end of the hallway to get run over by a few troops. Take them down and make a right at the end. Enter the room here with tables and there will be a few more enemies to fight. When they are spots on the floor, head through the room and out the door at the end. Now all you need to do is simply follow the hallway around until you reach the command room which will have screens and chairs in it. Kill all the enemies in there and head through the door at the far end to load the next area.



After the scene with Adams, you will need to wade through the troops that enter to get to him. Hide behind the pillar on the left and pop the few Helghast that enter. When they are dropped, run up to the upper platform on the right where there is a dead ISA soldier. Duck behind the console there and some new enemies will enter from the room in the center. These Helghast have trench coats of sorts and take a crap load of bullets to drop. If you can get them alone, whacking them in the head twice will drop them the fastest. There will be three that stay up in the room and three down on the floor. When the three on the floor are killed, your teammates will enter to help you out. Head up the ramp on the right and enter command room to take out the remaining troops. When they are down, there will be another ramp on the far side of the room that will lead into a hallway. Enter it and make a left to come to a room with a few more trenchies and Adams. Take down the trench coats and then just pop Adams with a few shots. Once he goes down, exit the room and make a left down the stairs there to exit and end the mission and the game.



Huzzah! Congratulations, you made it!
