Part One: Island Thunder



Mission One: Watchful Yeoman

Objectives:

1: Seize Plantation Grounds

2: Secure First Package

3: Secure Second Package

X: No Team Casualties



For this first mission, the start of it can be a bit of a toughie as you are faced with a large number of enemies. From where you start, use the sniper and look west and pick off any enemy soldiers you can see. When no more are appearing over the hill, make the squads forward towards the first objective. Stick to the right side, the north and move slowly since, like I said there are a lot of enemies here. When you get over the small hill, you will see a few buildings. Some are houses and two are larger. The two large ones are on the left and right of the area. The one on the right looks like a barn and will have an enemy hiding inside it like a bugger. Send the squad around the area to clear out all the enemies and you best bet is to clear the barn yourself so no team members die.



When all is clear you will get the objective complete thumbs up and will need to move on to the second large building that was on the left but will now be south of you. Make your way up to it and slowly enter. There are a few enemies inside here scattered about. For the most part there is one as soon as you enter and then 2-3 at the far end near the crate you need to secure. Make your way inside and have your guys go one way and the other squad go the opposite way. Also if you like you can enter the building from the rear. When everyone is dead, head over to the crate to secure it and the second objective will be complete.



Make your way out the rear of the building and head up the hill to reach the road. From here have you r sniper look out to the south and south east and pop and enemies that he can see. There are two small buildings there and one over to the far west and each will have a few soldiers in them. Once you have sniped enough of them that no more are appearing, make your way south across the road and to the east a small ways to the plantation field there. The package will be the same grey box that was in the warehouse that you secured earlier. Walk over to the crate and touch it to secure it and to complete the third objective and to complete the mission.

Mission Two: Angel Rage

Objectives:

1: Neutralize First Guard Tower

2: Neutralize Second Guard Tower

3: Seize Control of Camp

X: No Team Casualties



This mission is just awful. I really dislike these rain and fog missions because it is hard to see anything even with the night vision goggles on and yet the enemy always seems to see you fine. Thankfully it’s not a long mission with heavy fighting, but it does take a lot of walking to do. When the mission starts head up the road and start to make your way directly to the First objective on the map. Send the squad up there and have your squad stay to one side of them. When the other squad stops from being under fire than you are free to search out the area and see who is attacking them and neutralize them. You’ll need to use that technique a few times for this mission. Kill the few enemies along the way to the tower area and when you finally reach it, you will see the tower it self and two small buildings that will have enemies in them along with a machine gun in front of the larger one.



Sneak your way up to the tower area and you can use your sniper to pick off most of the enemies here and the one in the tower without getting your hands dirty. When no more are appearing, make your way to the tower and clear out the building of enemies When they are all dead, you will get the objective complete thumb up and will be on your way to the second tower. Send the other squad ahead of you again like you did for this tower and follow them off to the side. When you reach the next tower do the same thing to clear it out and you will have the second objective completed. All that’s left now is the main camp.



Send one team to the north gate of the camp, while you take you r team to the south gate. Have the team at the north gate enter the compound a few steps and set them to at all costs so they kill everything in sight. Have your team move through the south gate and sit tight at the opening of the gate to pick off anybody that moves. When it seems that there are no more enemies running out in to the open, enter the camp and there will be some enemies to the east side of the camp near the stack of crates against the wall and on the other side of the buildings there. When they are dead, the last remaining enemies will be inside the two buildings that are on either side of the north entrance. Enter each building slowly and quietly and clear them both out of baddies. When they are dead and everyone in the camp is taking a dirt nap, the objective will be complete and the mission ends.

Mission Three: Jaguar Maze

Objectives:

1: Rescue Downed Crew

2: Neutralize Enemy SAM

3: Reach Extraction Zone

X: Retrieve MV-22 Code Book



This mission is a nice quick little mission with an easy bonus objective to boot. When you start the mission, head directly south and you will come to a cave opening. Go through there and when you come out on the other side continue to keep going south. Eventually you will come to a pass between two large rocks and you will see smoke billowing into the air from the downed Osprey. Before you make your way to it though, there are about 5 or 6 enemies scattered around the area surrounding it. Sneak in and take them all out. When the radar is clear, enter the back of the plane and pick up the Code Book from the ground for your bonus objective. Now you are off to the first objective which is to find the downed crew of that Osprey.



Head directly east of your position and you will run into little resistance along the way. There are actually very few enemies on this mission until you blow up the SAM. When you reach the marines, they will pull out their guns and tag along with you to add a hand. Make your way east and to the north up the hill. Head for the 2 on the map and take out the two or three enemies along the way. You will be able to see the SAM long before you actually get near it, so have your demo man arm the M136 and blow it up real good. When you do blow it up however, a rush of enemies will come from the north west of where the SAM was.



Hold your ground and take them out, preferably with a sniper to make it that much easier. When they are all dead, turn back south down the hill and head for the extraction zone. Go down the hill south and keep going until you come to an open area that will turn west. Take out the two soldiers there that are blocking your path. When they are dead, run past their corpses to the extraction zone to end the simple mission.

Mission Four: Hidden Specter

Objectives:

1: Seize Airfield

2: Plant Demo Charge in Ammo Dump

3: Reach Extraction Zone

X: Neutralize All Opposition



For this rather short mission, you are going to want to kill every enemy you come across and there are plenty of them. From the start of the mission, make your way north east tot small encampment with a few buildings. Clear them out best you can with out having to go inside them. There are a few of them here and the enemies here can be a bit aggressive. When you have them cleared out and killed, continue your way north the east side of the airfield. There will be an opening in the fence there and a wrecked helicopter on the left. Slowly enter the area and stay close to the entrance. On the right side there is a series of buildings, the largest being the closest. An enemy or two will come out from those buildings as well as a few from the far end of the area. After you have plugged a few baddies, two jeeps will come out towards you from the west end. Use a grenade on them or just snipe the driver. Either way works fine. After they are dead, continue through the airfield slowly.



There will still be a few enemies that are in the last building on the right and some that will enter the airfield from the opening in the fence on both the left and right. You can stay near the entrance at the far east for awhile to keep nailing them but when no more start to come out, start clearing out the buildings. Once you have everyone killed, you will be told the airfield is secure and the first objective is complete. Now make your way out the opening at the west end of the airfield and start to head north to the ammo dump. There will be an enemy or two lurking around the building but they will stay close to the building. If you snipe you should be able to nail them from the opening in the west fenced while still at the airfield. Make your way across to the ammo dump when they are dead and have the demo man plant the charge. When it is done, head outside and north a few steps to the extraction point.

Mission Five: Rapid Python

Objectives:

1: Find Intelligence Items

2: Rescue Ordonez

3: Escort Ordonez to Extraction Zone

X: Neutralize BMP



From where you start the mission, notice it is your insertion zone as well as your extraction zone, make your way east along the north side of the river to a bridge. Also notice that it is almost night time so the night vision goggles work great on this level since it isn’t raining and foggy. Before you get to the bridge there will be a bit of opposition with some enemies but not all that many. When you get near the bridge, you will see that there are four enemies standing guard on it. The sniper rifle is your friend in this mission. Snipe them and the others as they run away and make sure you stand to the side of the bridge.



Two jeeps will come down the road and cross the bridge. Shoot the drivers, preferably, before they get out of the jeep and then start your way across. When you reach the other side, there will be another gathering of enemies just north of the end of the bridge. Snipe them and when they are no longer moving, make your way south a little ways to grab the Intel documents that are laying on the ground in the trees. Once you have them, start your way back north again and start your way to the second objective. Make your way north to the Number two on the map and when you almost get to it, you will notice a group of enemies escorting Ordonez away from the spot. Snipe each member of the group except for Ordonez and run up to him to secure him.



Now that you have him, you need to get him back to the extraction point which is of course the furthest place on the map. Start your way west and you will see on the map that there is another bridge there. Before you get to close to the bridge however, there is a tank on the east side just to the north. Slowly creep up or else it will open fire on you and slaughter both squads in two seconds flat. When you are close enough to see the tank, fire a M136 rocket at it to destroy it and to complete the bonus objective. Now you need to high tail it or crawl, depending how your team feels, to the extraction zone and end the mission. There isn’t a lot of opposition other than the 4 or so enemies on the other side of the bridge right after the tank. Other than that there maybe 2 or 3 at the most enemies all the way back to the extraction point.

Mission Six: Liberty Storm

Objectives:

1: Rescue & Escort Civilians

2: Defend Voting Center

3: Take Command Post

X: No Friendly Casualties



The first part of the mission seems like it is a huge task but it really isn’t. It’s pretty simple but does take a bit of time to complete since there are three civilians you need to locate, secure and return to the holding area. From the start of the mission, you will be inside a building at the polling center. Head south and go around the corner and you will come outside to a street with a blue car directly in front of you. Clear out his entire area and make your way out to the center of the courtyard and kill everyone in site. There will be a few enemies in the doorway of the building directly north of where you entered the street from as well. When everyone is dead the first civilian you are going to go after is to the south west. Set a way point for the other squad to head there and follow them. It isn’t far and there will be one or two enemies along the way.



When you reach where the civilian is, he will be in a room through an open door where a guard will be waiting for you to enter. Wait for him to appear in the door way and then take him out. Once he is dead, enter the room and grab the civilian. Now that you have one, you need to go drop him off at the extraction zone for the civilians. Go back to the building you started in and instead of going south through the door, go north out the other side and you will be in a giant shoot out with the enemies in the area. You need to kill everyone who is around here to that the civilians can get to the courtyard safely. When the civilian runs to the corner to huddle, you will be given a message about how many more hostages there are to retrieve. From the north door way that you exited to the street, make your way to the far side of the street and go east around the corner leading south. Continue to follow this road and it will take you south, east and then north again.



When you come around the corner to go north, there will be two guards and a hostage on the right side of the street behind a car. Take out both guards and be very careful not to hit the hostage. They like to hide behind the car so take them out easy, lay prone on the ground and shoot them under the car. When both are bead, grab the hostage and look north, high on the second floor of the building at the end of the street. There will be another hostage there and an enemy shooting at you. Take him out and then run your way to the entrance at the street level under the balcony where they are. Head up the stairs and grab the third and final hostage and maker your way back down and back to the courtyard to drop of the civilians.



If all the enemies in the area are dead, then all you need to do now is take over the command post, which is a stack of boxes to complete the next two objectives at once. From the civilian courtyard, head west and north and go around the corner of the building. When you reach the street on the left through the alley way, there is a parking lot of sorts on the corner across the street which is the command post. Kill everyone here and when they are all dead then you will get the objective complete. If everyone is dead in all areas then you will also get the defend voting center objective complete as well to end the mission. If you don’t get it, then there are still some enemies alive and you need to track them down. Kill them and you will be off to the next mission.

Mission Seven: Ocean Forge

Objectives:

1: Disable Vehicle Column

2: Clear Beach

3: Seize Control of AGS

X: Seize Material on Jetties



For this mission, it seems like there is a lot to do but the main objective for you should be just to kill everyone and everything that moves and keep moving forward. Run and gun and kill everything that moves. As soon as the mission starts, head north and keep going using the trees for cover and kill all the enemies that come to oppose you. Continue to head north to the first objective which will be a line up of trucks to the left of a building. To complete this objective, just kill everyone in the area of the trucks and when they are all dead you will get the all clear that the first objective is complete. When that happens, start your way east and there will be openings in the wall will lead you down to the beach.



Head for the furthest north opening and go down the stairs to the beach. Due east from those stairs will be a dock with a few enemies and a boat that will have material on it you need to grab. Make your way to the dock and kill everyone who shows up. When you reach the dock, grab the material and head back to the beach where you came down the stairs. Now start making your way south along the beach to clear it out of enemies. A sniper is a good idea to use here since there are more than a few enemies and the terrain is pretty flat for the most part. Along the right side will be a building that you can enter to clear out as well.



Continue south along the beach and eventually you will come to a small shack near the water. Simply clear this area out of enemies like you have been doing the whole time and when all the enemies around are dead you will have the second and third objectives complete. If there is still one or two enemies alive that you missed, keep an eye on your radar and go hunt them down like the dogs they are. To grab the final piece of material, walk along the dock that’s a few steps east of the AGS shack and pick it up. There is no extraction so once you have all objectives complete the mission ends.

Mission Eight: Righteous Archer

Objectives:

1: Capture and Secure Priego



This final mission can be a bit tricky if you let it be. Since we aren’t silly like that we’ll do it the easier way and come out of the mission alive. From the insertion point, you are going to move your squads to the helicopter pad right away. Look on the map and it is the large square in the south east corner. Along the way there will be little opposition and there will be two towers. Keep checking the map to see how close you are to the towers since in the low visibility weather it will be hard to tell yourself. It’s the long trek to get tot the helicopter pad but make sure you move slowly and cautiously to minimize damage you take from enemies. When you finally reach the helipad clear it of enemies and the tower behind it and have the other squad sit tight at the pad.



Take the other squad, which ever you choose is up to you but preferably with a sniper (and a demo man with a M136 if you want to have some fun). Make your way west along the road with your squad while the other one stays at the pad. Continue to follow the road and you will come to another tower on the far west side. Have your sniper pop the guard in there before he gets a chance to fire on you. When do, continue to follow the road and stop at the bottom of the hill that leads up to the mansion. At the top of the hill on the left side of the road will be a stationary gunner. Snipe him and then you are clear to make your way up the hill and enter the compound. Go along the left wall behind the buildings there and go around the right corner when you reach the end.



Snipe all the enemies you can see there and there will be a few. Some more will also come out of the mansion through the large door in the middle of it. When all are dead, make your way east across the courtyard and on the north wall there will be an opening in the wall to get to another area with a tank that you can blow up if you brought along the demo man. When you go to go through the opening, you will be told that Priego is heading for the helicopter and if you turn around, you will see him running around the mansion. Chase after him and chances are he will try to enter the mansion from the back door. Sometimes he will run for the helicopter and you don’t see him and it’s good to have your other squad there to stop him just incase. If he is still in the area, all you need to do is walk up to him and secure him to end the mission.

Part Two: Jungle Storm



Mission One: Totem Ground

Objectives:

1: Secure Enemy Camp

2: Find All Three Hostages

3: Reach Extraction Zone

X: No Team Casualties



From the start of the mission, you can set Bravo to head their way over east to the first camp which is marked with a big “1” on the map. There isn’t a lot of opposition on the way so keep up with them and they will take out the few enemies on the way. When you reach the camp, get prone and take out all and any enemies you see running around the camp. Zoom in to get a good view and when they arte all taken care of, you will be told that the first objective is completed. Once you have the camp secured, your next objective is to find all three hostages. Head north east towards the “2” on the map and set Bravo team to lead the way. Advance to the east to the beach. You’ll have to back track a few steps but once you reach it, head east along the beach as far as you can go. There will be a cave opening there that will lead to a large cavern. Enter it and take out the few enemies in side. Head to the right, up the ramp and enter the opening at the top. If you take the left hand passage there, then there are two large rooms on either side.



Both rooms will have a hostage in them so either send in your team or clear it out yourself. When the enemy lurking around the area is dead, if he isn’t already, then go up to the hostage and get him to follow you. Continue through the passage and when you reach the last large room with picnic tables, go to the left through the small opening. It will lead to a room with statues and pillars and the last hostage will be in the center. Be careful of the enemy in here and pop him when he appears. When he’s dead, grab the hostage and high tail it back out of the caves. When you go down the large ramp, and exit through the opening on the left that leads out to the beach that you entered from. Follow the beach around and across the shallow water and start west to the extraction point. Keep an eye open though as when you get close to the extraction point, there are two or three enemies waiting for you there.

Mission Two: Vapor Knife

Objectives:

1: Seize guard Post

2: Plant Demo Charge on Railroad Switch

3: Reach Extraction Zone

X: Seize Rebel Camp



For the first part of this mission, you will need to work your way north. Head the squad North and you won’t have too much resistance along the way until you reach the outpost camp. When you get close there will be a few enemies hiding behind a truck there and in some buildings. Use the trees for cover and clear them all out and when you are given the all clear the objective will be complete. Next up you will need to make your way east to the train yard and the railroad tracks. Head North and then west and follow the road up the hill. Stick to the wall on the right and kill the few enemies that will appear at the top and to the left. When you get to the top of the hill, there will be a car on the right to hide behind.



Do so and kill the enemies that come from the right side of the area to get you. Send alpha squad up behind the buildings to the north and have them head east to meet you at the railroad switch which is just a little shack past the water tower. Enter the railroad switch shack and if you don’t have a charge, switch to one your men that do. Equip in and place it on the floor to complete the second objective. Once you have it placed, a few more enemies will come out of hiding from behind the large barn type building to the far east. Kill all of them as they come out and then you are ready to hit the extraction. Not so lucky for you it is still quite a ways away. Back track to the railroad tracks and go to the far side behind the buildings and walk along the fence there.



Continue along the fence going west, where you came from and you will come to a slope going downwards into a swampy area. Kill the soldiers at the bottom of the slope and continue your way through the swamp. You will need to make your way south east to the extraction point but be wary of all the soldiers hiding in this area. There are more than a few and they hide pretty good in here. There is also a house just east of where you enter the swamp where a lot of them hang out at. When you have the place cleared mostly, continue south east to the extraction point and exit the mission.
