Introduction
==============================================================================
Welcome to my Ghost Recon guide. Seeing as there is already one other FAQ up
(for the XBox version) I decided one more couldn't hurt. Ghost Recon is
really a great game. Playing single player throughout each of the different
difficulty levels will keep you occupied for awhile. Of course the most fun
part of this game is the XBox LIVE. LIVE for this game is amazing. I'll put
the LIVE part of the guide in later updates though, I just need to get the
actual walkthrough done first =)
Note: I will be including the briefing text, time, location, etc. of each
mission not as "filler" but some people like to understand what the
mission is about and might not have their game out at the time...or
might not even have the game. Same with time, location, etc.

Campaign
==============================================================================
Training is easy enough to do, and I suggest you complete it before you try
the missions. You'll learn the basics and will have a better understanding
of the game. And the reason why there is a section for all the difficulty
levels is because enemies are in different places in each of the different
levels and the strategies change.
This is written assuming no one was injured or killed in the every mission
you completed. Save often and if you get injured or killed, load the saved
mission.

"Welcome to Tbilisi, gentlemen - I hope you got some shuteye on the flight
from Bragg, because now that we're here we've got a lot of work to do.
Here's the situation: We've been deployed at the request of the Georgian
government to help them deal with rebels on their Russian border. Our
area of operation will be South Ossetian Autonomous region - 1500 square
miles of small villages and rugged backcountry. The Ossetians have been
skirmishing with the Georgian army for years, but lately the attacks have
escalated to the verge of all-out war. Washington thinks that the
Russians have engineered the current flare-up as an excuse to step in and
annex the whole region. Our job is to cut the legs out from under the
revolution before that can happen.
Our first mission is a raid on a rebel base in the Caucusus Mountains. A
rebel leader named Bakur Papashvili has been attacking army convoys across
the Terek River. You'll need to take out his guard posts first, then hit
his main camp. You'll find Papashvili in the caves at the top of the hill
where he's set up a command center. Take him alive if you can, but
remember that he won't surrender unless all his guards are eliminated."

"We've been tapped for a search and rescue. The Navy's been flying sorties
against rebel positions from its carrier battle group in the Black Sea.
Last night, the bad guys got lucky with a SAM and took out one of our
F-18s. The pilot and the weapons officer both bailed out before impact,
but the rebels picked them up shortly after they activated their beacons.
They're being held for interrogation at a farm near the crash site. Your
job is to go and bring them back out alive. Recon photos show the F-18 is
still largely intact but heavily guarded. If it's possible to plant a
demo charge and blow the plane, do it - but don't jeopardize your main
mission.
And try to minimize Ossetian casualties - the Russians are already making
a big stink at the U.N. about us being here and we don't want to give
them any more ammunition. If Moscow decides to intervene, we're going to
find ourselves smack in the middle of a major war."

"Word just came down from HQ, gentlemen. We have official confirmation
that at 0600 hours three Russian armored divisions crossed the border and
linked up with the rebel forces in the north. The Russian foreign
minister has issued a statement condemning 'international meddling in
regional affairs'. Looks like we've got ourselves a full-scale
international incident.
For now the U.S. is still backing the legitimate Georgian government. Our
orders are, quote, 'to aid the Georgian army's defensive operations in
any way practical'. Short and sweet that means we've got the green light
to blow stuff up.
First priority is to slow down the main armored column headed for
Tbilisi. We've identified an ambush point about 60 klicks west of here
where the highway crosses under a rail line. A Georgian command post is
nearby - if it's overrun their entire western flank will collapse. Take
out the Russian advance patrols first, then the tanks. And keep your
demolitions expert under cover until you need him - those tanks aren't
going to be stopped by anything less than a rocket up the tailpipe."

going to hold out for long. The president and his cabinet have already
fled the country to set up a government-in-exile. We're in country only
for as long as it takes to get the rest of our people out safely.
HQ just got a radio call from a couple of Brits up near the village of
Ahmeta. Their transportation broke down and they're cut off from the
Georgian lines. We're sending you in by chopper to open up and escape
route for them. You'll need to move fast - in their last message they

"Time to get the hell out of Dodge - Intel says Russian troops have
reached the city limits. The rest of our people have already been evac'ed
- you gentlemen are the absolute tip of the Dachshund's tail. The Navy is
running a shuttle between our embassy and the U.S.S. Ronald Regan out in
the Black Sea. Two hours from now the last Seahawk will leave the
embassy's roof - you'd better be on it.
On the way there there's one thing we want you to check out. The Russians
brought down one of our Seahawks on the last run - hit it with a
man-portable SAM before it reached the embassy. It crashed in a park just
north of your position. We haven't received any communication from the
crew - no voice, no beacon - probably there are no survivors. But your
orders are to check out the wreckage and make sure.
Be on the look out for Russian patrols. And watch out for Georgian
civilians as well - there are plenty of refugees in the streets and we
want to keep collateral damage to a minimum."

"It's official - President Arbatov just appeared, "welcoming" the Republic
of Georgia into the new Russian Democratic Union. Of course, no one's
recognizing the annexation - the Georgian government-in-exile issued a
strong denial from their offices in Geneva, and the U.S., Great Britain,
and Germany have all publicly condemned the Russian invasion - but all
the talk in the world isn't going to budge those tanks in Tbilisi.
The big boys are convinced that Arbatov and his generals are engineering
another 'intervention'. Satellites have detected major troop movements on
the Baltic coast, near the Latvian border. Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia
were all part of the old Soviet empire and bringing them back under
Moscow's control has been part of the Ultranationalist agenda for years.
We're sending you in to gather intelligence about the coming attack. The
Russians have set up a command post at Izborsk, an old medieval fortress a
few miles from the border. Your mission is to infiltrate the post and
recover any documents describing the Russian battle plans. Watch out for
patrols - there's been a lot of troop movement along the road. There's
also a comm station inside the castle - don't let the garrison radio for
help, or you'll have a major firefight on your hands.
One final twist. There's a mobile SAM site nearby. Reconnoiter, and if
it's lightly guarded, take it out with rockets."

"Bad news. The Russians went on the offensive in the Baltics this morning,
three days ahead of schedule. Satellite images show two main thrusts -
one along the coast to Tallinn and the other straight past Izborsk to
Riga. Senior command is trying to field a defensive force from our bases
in Germany, but they need more time. And we're the ones who are going to
provide it.
Your mission is to blow the bridge where the Riga highway crosses the
Lubana River. This will seriously damage the enemies ability to bring
forward reinforcements and will slow their advance dramatically. Plant
demo charges on both of the main pillars of the bridge, then clear out to
the extraction zone. Don't try to engage the primary force guarding the
bridge - they'll eat you for lunch. But use your own judgment on the
Russian camp near the river. If it's lightly guarded, take it out - it'll
only add to the disruption."

"The 1st Armored Division has managed to stop the Russian advance... but
just barely. We've got reinforcements coming up from the coast, but they
won't be here until tomorrow. Right now, the situation is very fluid -
if the Russians resume the attack before we're ready, we're not sure our
line will hold.
The main concentration of Russian troops in this sector is near a little
Lithuanian village named Venta. They've set up mobile artillery in the
hills nearby and are using it to shell our position here. Your mission is
to go in and take out that artillery.
The chopper will drop you at an abandoned farm just west of town. It's
unlikely that your arrival will go undetected, so you'll need to
establish a defensive perimeter quick or you'll be overrun. Once you're
in place HQ will launch an attack down the main road. Hold the farm until
you see our tanks, then link up with them and proceed into the village.
Clear out the village, then proceed to the artillery batteries in the
hills. One antitank rocket apiece should do the job."

"The Russians are stalled just south of Riga. 1st Armored is prepped to
launch a major offensive as soon as the weather clears. We're sending you
in now behind the Russian lines to disrupt communications before the
attack.
Your target is a Russian listening post on the border between Lithuania
and Latvia. They've set up their equipment in the middle of a swamp so
you're going to have to get your feet wet. There are three main islands
you'll need to clear. We think the listening post itself is on the
eastern island, but we want you to sweep all three to be certain. Try to
capture the commanding officer alive if possible - he might have valuable
information about the Russian defensive strategy."

"Good news. 1st Armored won major victories at Utena and Rezekne, and the
Russians are falling back on all fronts. One final push and they'll be
out of the Baltics for good. Word is that the Russian military brass is
taking the defeat hard. They're blaming President Arbatov and the other
political leaders - there might be a coup brewing.
We're sending you into Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital. The Russians have
held it since the first week of the invasion and it's been the site of
some significant action by the Lithuanian underground - the place is
practically in ruins. You'll be escorting a tank column into the heart of
the old city to liberate what's left of the presidential palace and some
other key locations. As the Russians learned in Grozy, sending armor into
an urban setting without proper infantry support is suicide. The
remaining Russian troops have their backs to the wall so they're not
going down without a fight. Watch out for snipers and antitank rockets
fired from the shelter of the ruins. And, as always, try to keep civilian
casualties to a minimum."

"The last enemy units pulled back across the Latvian border sometime
yesterday afternoon. Public support for Ultranationalists has dropped
like a rock, and there are rumors that the military has President Arbatov
under house arrest. It looks like things in Russia are getting ugly fast.
Your next mission is a simple rescue. Ten days ago two U.S. soldiers were
taken prisoner when their humvee was ambushed near Ludza. They're
currently being held at a POW camp in Russia. Normally Washington would
let them sit out the duration, but one of them is a senator's son. Your
job is to go in and bring them out alive.
Security is tight - searchlights around the perimeter, well-armed guards
inside. Don't try to shoot your way in - you'll never make it. Go in
quiet with silenced weapons, secure the guard post, locate the soldiers,
and get out.
And while you're there, be on the lookout for one other prisoner, a guy
named Moroshkin. Supposedly he's being held in the Infirmary. HQ says
that he's some kind of major dissident and that springing him would make
more trouble for the Ultranationalists in Moscow."

"Russia is falling apart. Arbatov is dead, as far as we can tell -
executed by the military as a scapegoat for the fiasco in the Baltic.
Most of the country is under martial law, with soldiers patrolling the
streets and curfews enforced in the major cities. It's unclear how much
support the Ultranationalists really have in the military - there are
widespread reports of soldiers refusing to fire on civilians, or even to
leave their own barracks.
Our goal is to whittle down the base of support for the leaders of the
coup. As a result, we're launching a series of covert raids against key
military bases that are backing the Ultranationalists. Your first target
is the naval base at Murmansk - it's the headquarters of their northern
fleet and a major operations center for their submarine service. Take a
demolitions expert, and blow the sub pens and any other targets that
appear promising. You'll have to move quick - once the alarm is raised,
base security will be all over you.
Good luck, you're going to need it."

"It looks like civil war. The Centrists in the government and military
have formed an alliance against the Ultranationalists. We're getting
reports of Russian-on-Russian fighting from Smolensk to Vladivostok.
We're continuing our strategy of raids against military bases that are
backing the coup. Your next target is the air base at Arkhangel'sk. It's
the test site for both the S-37 'Berkut', a new experimental fighter
prototype, and the Ka-50 'Hokum', Russia's next generation attack
helicopter. Your objectives are to plant demo charges in both the
'Berkut' and 'Hokum' hangars as well as completely shutting down
operations in the control tower.
Intel indicates that security at Arkhangel'sk is light - apparently
there's been a sharp increase in the number of desertions since the coup
- so don't worry about trying to finesse your way in. Based on our
analysis the best approach is a direct frontal assault. Hit them hard and
fast and get out as quickly as possible."

fight with the Ultranationalists. Popular support for the
Ultranationalists has withered away to practically nothing - they lost
all legitimacy when they executed the President - but they still control
a sizeable chunk of the military. Acting Prime Minister Karpin has
privately requested a NATO force to help the loyal Russian troops crush
the coup.
1st Armored Division has already crossed the Latvian border and is headed
for Moscow. Satellite images show the main Ultranationalist force massing
near Toropec, about 200 klicks east of our current position. Your mission
is to link up with them and spearhead the assault. Expect extremely heavy
resistance - armor, Spetznaz, the works. You'll need to take both passes
through the mountains and hold them against all Russian counterattacks.
But if we achieve a breakthrough here, the coup is finished."

Ultranationalists hold the Kremlin and not much else. We're going to

First order of business is a squad of U.S. troops pinned down just to the
east of your current position. Make your way through the medieval quarter,
eliminate any resistance you encounter, and relieve those GI's. From
there head south through the GUM department store to get to Red Square.
The street will be full of refugees so watch your fire - remember that
we're here as liberators, not as conquerors.
Red Square is heavily defended. Be prepared for armor. There's almost no
cover, but fortunately the snow should cut visibility and give you an
advantage.
Now get out and do your job. Let's win this one and go home."

Objectives
----------
1. Neutralize Tent Camp
2. Secure the Caves
3. Reach Extraction Zone
X. Capture Papashvili
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only for this mission I recommend Auto Assigning because once you get
further in the game, you will unlock better soldiers and Auto Assign
doesn't include them.
I won't be referring to the "first row" of soldiers by their names because
they are random each game. Also keep in mind: If a soldier dies in a
mission he is out of the game for all 15 missions, so I would quit the
mission and try again if that happens. Save often also, I'll tell you
when to.
When you Auto Assign, you will have three riflemen, two support experts,
and one sniper this is fine. Start the mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Neutralize Tent Camp
-----------------------
Open your Command Map and move the cursor over the eastern square. Even
though it'll be red, it'll still make a path. Follow the Bravo team now.
About halfway towards your first "turn" you'll encounter enemies. Chances
are that your team will take them out. If one gets injured, restart. Tell
Bravo to advance and hold at the first "turn." Save now (not over your
current campaign file, but an alt) and tell Bravo to advance once again.
You will encounter alot of enemies now. Constantly use your command map
to find where they are. Don't proceed until you _think_ you killed them
all because your way back to the extraction zone will be hell if they
aren't.
Once you think they're gone, tell Bravo team to advance. Now it's a bit
confusing. Let Bravo go about half way from the final "turn" (after going
up the hill) and tell them to hold so they don't get killed. Now you must
stay at the top of the hill and focus your attention to the north. You
should see two soldiers atop a hill, kill them quick before one goes
around a tree or hill and can't see him. Save now (over your previous
file). There will be other soldiers on the ground heading towards you now.
Kill them quick and rejoin your group. Save. Now tell Bravo to advance to
the camp once again. Hell will break loose because half the time you don't
know where the fire is coming from. Just lay low (hide behind nearby
rocks) and let Bravo take care of them and hope they don't get injured.
Now go into the camp and you will complete your first objective. Save.
2. Secure the Caves
-------------------
Open your Command Map and move the cursor outside of the cave and a bit to
the right. You might have to zoom in. You will now see a curvy way up to
the caves. Tell Bravo to advance. When you go past the place where the
killed the two soldiers on the "hill", Tell both Bravo and Alpha to hold.
Go up the hill with a sniper (you may have to change people) and snipe as
many enemies as you can. Once you think they're gone, tell both to
advance. Bravo will go right around some rocks and appear a little bit
from the caves. Now tell Bravo to hold. Make your way to the first
entrance (east side) and eliminate the guard and continue to the west
entrance. Kill the guard and enter the caves from that entrance crouching.
Eliminate the guard in here and you will complete this objective.
X. Capture Papashvili
---------------------
When in the caves, if you go to your Command Map, you should see a yellow
circle. That's Papashvili. Go in either entrance to him (left or right)
and go up to him and touch him. If you didn't secure the caves, he will
try to shoot you.(Funny listening to him talk, hehe) Now make sure you
reach the extraction zone with him unkilled *points below*
3. Reach Extraction Zone
------------------------
Some people like to kill all the enemies before completing all the
objectives. Meh, I like the challenge, especially when carrying an unarmed
hostage with you =P Map your course to the extraction zone (almost the
same place as insertion zone). You will go west, then southeast, then the
same way as you came from the start. After the last "turn", you will be
heading straight towards the extraction zone. There will be enemies right
where you wouldn't think they'd be. They'll be near the last two wooded
areas on your way back. Make sure you save before you head out because
half the time Bravo is stupid enough to get killed while going back. Once
everyone reaches the extraction zone along with Papashvili, you will
complete the mission.

Objectives
----------
1. Rescue Pilot
2. Rescue Weapons Officer
3. Reach Extraction Zone
X. Destroy Avionics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For this mission I would suggest doing the following: Change your first
person to Will Jacobs, replace a rifleman with a demolitionist, and give
everyone that was in the last level a point added on to Stealth or "S".
Simply press A over their name, Press A again, and you should be able to
figure out the rest.
This level, IMO, is the easiest level. You should have _no_ problem with
it. Just remember to save after each objective (just in case one of your
comrades gets injured) and you'll be fine. You should have 2 Riflemen, 2
Support Experts, 1 Demolitionist, and 1 Sniper; a mix is always good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
X. Destroy Avionics
-------------------
I like to make one, big counterclockwise circle to complete this mission.
First of all, put your nightvision on (X) and make a path for the
northwestern square. On your way there you will go up a hill. Right before
that, you will see two soldiers in the trees. Eliminate them and continue.
Cross the little stream and while you are heading for the avionics, your
teammates will pick off any enemies they may see. Switch to your
demolitionist now. When all the enemies are gone, go over to the avionics
or plane and switch to the demo charge. Be next to the avionics and plant
the bomb by holding R until it clicks. You will complete this objective
shortly after you plant the bomb.
2. Rescue Weapons Officer
-------------------------
Now map a course to the Farm House (underneath the avionics on the Command
Map) and zoom in so you can map the path right over the square. It will
map a course to go into the house for you. For now just pick off any
enemies you see on your way. You will see two guys hanging out at the
front of the house first, quickly pick them off (which will alert the
others, but that's ok) and move on. Shoot the soldier that you see in the
bottom left window and move on to the garage. There should be three around
the garage area. Now tell Bravo to hold (since you are Will Jacobs in
Alpha I hope) and enter the house.
You will see the guy you killed in the window dead and no one else. Turn
off nightvision as it is unneeded. Now crouch and move along upstairs. At
the very top, you will see a room. It's hard to pick off the guy with it
auto-aiming all the time, but kill him. Now move down the hall. Save
because you can get killed if you aren't on guard. You will see the Pilot
but what you don't see is a soldier guarding him to the left. What you
need to do is sneak up to the door on the left and quickly sidestep to the
right and unleash on him. Once you kill him, go and touch the Weapons
Officer (not there >_>). Two soldiers will also be to the southwest of the
house.
1. Rescue Pilot
---------------
Save after rescuing the Weapons Officer. Go join your comrades outside
the house (it's such a pain getting them out of the house v_v) and map
your course to the Barn (the southeastern square), but not inside the
barn. Map it a bit to the front left (northwest). You'll start to see
lots of people outside the barn. Pick them off first and save. Now enter
and kill all the soldiers really quick. I've never had the Pilot die
before (from the soldiers killing him) so I don't know what will happen.
There are three soldiers on the first floor and one upstairs (if you
didn't kill him from the window outside). Now take the Pilot.
3. Reach Extraction Zone
------------------------
If you want, go to your Command Map and look for a large field to the west
of you. Now move the analog stick all the way up and select "Planning:
Bravo" and map a course onto the field (anywhere). Now switch to a comrade
in Bravo and head out to the field and kill the soldiers there. Now rejoin
the group and switch back to "Planning: Both Teams." Now map your course
to the Extraction Zone. Along your way you will see two soldiers and then
your way back to the extraction zone is soldier free.

Objectives
----------
1. Neutralize NE Patrol
2. Neutralize SW Patrol
3. Prevent HQ Breach
X. No NATO Casualties
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Replace the demolitions expert with a rifleman from one of the first 12
comrades. Now replace anybody in your team but Will Jacobs or a sniper
with Nigel Tunney, he will automatically have the M136 equipped. Give
everyone that was in the last level a stealth point.
This mission isn't exactly hard, but is very frustrating. There will be
enemies out of nowhere and you may get killed without realizing you were
in danger. I know many people have different strategies on this level but
I like my way. If you want a different strategy, check out the other Ghost
Recon FAQs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
X. No NATO Casualties
---------------------
In this level everything will be happening at once but I'll try to put
everything in order of how it's supposed to happen. For now, switch to
Nigel Tunney as you will be using him throughout the whole of this
mission. Basically all you have to do to prevent casualties is complete
objective three. Just make sure a tank doesn't get under the overpass,
otherwise a raid of soldiers will come out and start attacking the NATOs.
1. Neutralize NE Patrol
-----------------------
Open up your Command Map and zoom in. Now go up 13 and left one and plan
your course (make sure it's "Planning: Bravo" or if you're in Bravo, vice
versa). Along the road the runs northeast will be enemies, eliminate them
and you will Neutralize the NE Patrol.
3. Prevent HQ Breach
--------------------
Objective 2 will come later, for now, it's the most important objective.
Let Bravo continue to their destination and you must position yourself
over the Railroad Bridge Overpass facing northwest while lying down. Now
look for three soldiers straight ahead (you can't miss them). Gun them
down from the overpass and soon a tank will come. Quickly change your
weapon, crouch (don't stand) and get a missile ready. The crosshairs will
get smaller until you see a square which means it's ready to fire. Fire,
lie down, and start gunning everybody that comes from the tank. You won't
get them all so they will start going west and east up the hills to go
around the road to get to the NATO HQ. That's what your Bravo team is
doing staying there. Save and continue trying to gun people down. If a
member gets wounded, quit and load your game again. Once all of them are
killed, objective 3 is complete.
2. Neutralize SW Patrol
-----------------------
Now that you prevented the breach, you've got to eliminate all enemies at
the SW Patrol. Go down below under the bridge. Now look for the tank that
was there before there before the enemy tank came. Go west from there and
you should see a path going up to the western side. Crouch as you're going
up and eliminate the enemies and your objective and mission is done.

Objectives
----------
1. Secure the Crossroads
2. Contact UN Troops
3. Reach Extraction Zone
X. Keep UN Soldiers alive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fill Alpha team with all of your current unlocked players and upgrade
everybody's stealth points. Keep all of Bravo like it is assuming you
haven't changed them from last mission. The missions should start to get
easier because of you unlocking players. Also, now would be a good time
to go to your dossier and try to unlock weapons for the unlockable
players. Believe me, this helps alot later in the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Secure the Crossroads
------------------------
Switch to Jack Stone and open your Command Map. Map your course to the
southwest on that little piece of road before the bridge (Make sure it's
just Bravo). There will be quite a few soldiers down here. A reason why
your stupid (=P) teammates get killed in this level is because of the
soldier in the tollbooth. Snipe him first. There are three enemies in
total in this area. Now go to the left of the booth and look across the
river. Snipe the tow enemies straight across the river and shoot the
soldier is the opposing booth.
Now start across the bridge while you are zoomed in with your sniper
(leave Bravo for now). As soon as you see a figure at the "gas station"
straight ahead, take a few more steps and lie down. There will be quite a
few soldiers up here. You can just barely see them with the crosshairs in
the way, but you'll manage. It's possible to just lie down here and snipe
everybody that comes into site and complete the first objective but if
you're the impatient type, stand up and move out. The soldier you most
likely didn't kill is the one lurking around the closest store. Eliminate
all enemies in this area and save.
2. Contact UN Troops
--------------------
Switch to Nigel Tunney (if he has the Bizon 9mm, if not switch to Will
Jacobs) and go to your Command Map. Zoom in and go up to the Village area.
To the southwest is where the road turns a bit. Select somewhere around
here (not right in the middle of the village) and tell Bravo to advance.
Wait for them and follow. As you're going up the hill there will be
enemies to the left. Let Bravo take them out and proceed up the hill. When
the village comes into clearing, kill the guards that the UN troops are
fighting (not the ones behind them). When they are killed, save (if no
one from Bravo is injured for whatever reason). Go up to each of them and
you will complete the objective.
X. Keep UN Soldiers alive
-------------------------
Picking up from above, after you save, go behind the building from where
you rescued the UN troops and eliminate the soldiers behind there. For some
reason, the UN troops don't always follow you like they should so if they
don't follow you, you'll have to eliminate every enemy (not that hard).
3. Reach Extraction Zone
------------------------
Make a path to the Extraction Zone and follow Bravo. As you move down the
road from the village, there will be a gang of four soldiers waiting for
you. Eliminate them and there will be four other soldiers up in the
mountains (the snipers can handle this part). Eliminate them and continue
(Bravo is usually on hold so tell them to advance). Stop before the bridge
and save. Let Bravo go their path and you wait. Bravo will go back the
same way you started and should pick off enemies that are hiding on their
way. You should get a "Mission Complete". If not, they might've missed an
enemy so proceed and look close to the river on the other side and see if
they missed any. Of course this is only if you couldn't get the UN troops
to follow you, if they are following, just go to the Extraction Zone.

M05 - Gold Mountain

Objectives
----------
1. Secure the Bank
2. Investigate Crash Site
3. Reach Extraction Zone
X. No Civilian Casualties
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Put Jack Stone in Bravo team and place Buzz where Jack was. Now give
everyone a stealth point (and if you unlocked the AN-94 for Buzz, give it
to him).
This is my favorite mission and second easiest IMO after Farm. Since
there's no camouflage involved in this mission, it's possible to complete
the mission with just one person with ease. Securing the bank is the only
difficult part (only in the higher difficulty levels) so this should be a
cinch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
X. No Civilian Casualties
-------------------------
This is too easy. The only time you may be shocked is when you kill the
first group of enemies and he comes up the stairs all of a sudden,
otherwise it's too easy. If you kill one, make sure you quit and load your
saved game because if you don't that means no unlocked character =(
1. Secure the Bank
------------------
Leave Bravo where they are for now and go out into the street and hug the
left wall. Go to the end, crouch, and you will see a soldier walking. Take
him out and quickly move so you can see all the way left and take out the
soldiers quickly. One has a grenade so be fast. Go over and behind the
truck, and this is when you see a refugee come out. Don't shoot him. Now,
go on the outside of the stairs that he came up and down the next street
(the bank street). Hug the wall and kill the guy in the window on the left
of the bank.
Now go through the parking lot and around to the back. Go in between the
white vans and you'll see a door. Stand on the left side of it, slanted so
you can see more of the room on the right, and open the door. Shoot the
one guy and save. Crouch down and open the next door and quickly eliminate
all the enemies you can see. Back _away_ from the door and wait a second
and see if any soldier comes to check out the room. You should've killed
three soldiers just now so once you do, it's safe to exit the room. Now go
up stairs and into the left door and kill the soldier.
2. Investigate Crash Site
-------------------------
Now map a path for Bravo to come onto the street east of the bank and meet
them there. Now go all the way down that street and you will see the
embassy to the north. Start taking out soldiers in there while you move
closer to it. Watch out for the soldiers to your left also (before you go
into the embassy, around the plant area)When it's all cleared out, map
Bravo to go up to the Extraction Zone and stay there while you complete
the other objective.
Now exit the embassy on the west and look north to see 4 soldiers
marching. Kill them and proceed up the street. Forget about going left to
go to the plane, going right is more fun =) Go down into the little area
and into the door. Go up the steps, open the door, and kill the three
soldiers quickly. Go down through the hallway and to the windows. You
should be able to see soldiers in the very distance. Try to kill them. If
you can't that's okay, they will start coming down the street directly in
front of you to see where the fire came from. Kill them and all enemies
will be killed, thus completing the mission. If you didn't kill all the
enemies, go to the helicopter and objective two will be completed.
3. Reach Extraction Zone
------------------------
After getting to the crash site, head back to the embassy. If you follow
what I said above, there should be no enemies around the embassy. Go on
the stairs on the right side of it and up to the helipad. Mission
complete.

Objectives
----------
1. Get Intel from SE House
2. Get Intel from NW House
3. Reach Extraction Zone
X. Destroy SAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Replace one of the two remaining "first row soldiers" (you know what I
mean) with Henry Ramirez. Give everyone stealth points and give Nigel
Tunney the M136. The missions should start to become easier now that you
have five unlocked players in your team. This mission is average compared
to difficulty. Once you're inside the castle it becomes tough to withstand
the fire, but you'll manage...just wait until Elite -_-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
X. Destroy SAM
--------------
As soon as you start the mission open up your Command Map. The square
basically just to the north of you is the Mobile SAM. Zoom in to it and
you'll see lines where a cliff is. Just south of the SAM is one of those
little cliffs. Make your path just below that (Planning: Bravo). Switch to
