-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the beginning...

---> // Take out those choppers //

Just shoot all the copters which come by you, keep shooting them and dropping
them, this will end in a very short time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE EVACUATION

---> // Proceed towards Dubai //

Move ahead and go right. In the end look to the left and you will find rope you
can use to grapple. Once you're below, you need search for a distress beacon.
After you find the beacon, you will be pushed into battle very soon. Shoot the
glass of the bus above them and then shoot them too. Move ahead and get into
cover. There are enemies all over the place but only a few. A few paces ahead
is a bus to the left with guys on a turret. Get them and go thru the bus to the
next place. One of your team then tells you where the enemy threw the grenade
from. Look up to the billboard straight across you and click the MMB to tell
your mates to kill him. Move ahead and you will see guys come out of the bus
and on the top of it. Kill the guys on top first and then the rest and go thru.

In the next area you will come across a mounted turret. You cannot take him
from here so you will need to move to the edge of the cover you are in and hold
W and hit space to sprint to the next cover ahead. You can move to the left
under cover and take out the guy on the turret and the rest of them here.

---> // Save the Squad //

You come to the crash site of an airplane. Equip silencer by hitting C and kill
the enemies ahead along with the ones on the wing of the plane. Move closer and
eliminate the remaining enemies from on top of the wing. As you get closer you
will see some more on the ground ahead of you so trip them and move into the
plane. Before you move inside, you ought to check the outside to grab an
[[Intel]].

As you move inside you will need to kill a few in close quarters because
they come out just as you go in. Keep an eye out as you go up the stairs - look
back climbing up and you will spot more behind the doors. Move low and slow and
keep killing them - you can take a shotgun from one of the dead guys if you
want to. In the last area, you will see an enemy holding a hostage - kill him
first and then hit the rest to get intel about enemy location.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE DUNE

---> // Get to the Nest //

Keep going and your team spots two guys below, you can take the silencer
approach and kill them or just use the go to hell approach. One more comes from
the right as you go below. So, go to the right along the path and you will come
to a grenade box. You will find tons of these in this hotel ahead so just take
them and toss them ahead - you can atleast conserve ammo this way. Kill the
enemies in the hotel and move in. Keep in cover because more are on the way.

Move into the next area and keep killing - go down the steps and turn right and
look here to the right to find a small chip which is a piece of [[Intel]].
Anyway, move thru and you come outside again where you see a guy on a turret
below in the sand. Lob a grenade at him and watch him blow up. Kill the rest
of them here and move ahead. Keep killing and going and you will soon reach
the nest.

---> // Hold Out //

Once you are close to the nest the enemies keep coming from below and also
above on the upper floors of the building ahead. Just concentrate on the ones
coming on the upper floor and also watch out to your right eventually to kill
anyone who might come up on the sand dune. Keep killing them and watch the
drama unfold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNDERNEATH

Move below and you will find insurgents fall down from the roof...

---> // Defend your Position //

Move to where you team mates are and take cover behind the railing here. Start
killing everyone ahead - some may come down using the stairs so watch for them
too. In a while, after you clear them all out, they drop C4 from above - this
is your queue to move to the next area so run like hell. You come to a lower
area to the left which you need to jump down to. You will also find [[Intel]]
here to the left and grenades to the right.

---> // Keep Moving //

You will see a CIA agent now who is giving orders to the enemies. Kill the ones
outside the door and move ahead. Always run from cover to cover - you can do
this by holding the forward button near the edge of one cover and hit space to
run to the next cover. The roof caves in revealing a few more enemies. Kill
them and move ahead. One of the enemies is on a turret - use a grenade to take
him out and if you do not have a grenade - go to the area to the right here and
flank that guy and kill him.

After you kill the rest of them inside, some come in from the outside where a
storm is brewing up. Move outside but there are still enemies all over the
place and the moment you find cover, stay there and clear out as many as
possible before you move to the next place which has an elevator. Use the
rapple here to get down and continue to the next chapter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE REFUGEES

---> // Locate the Hostage //

Move thru this area ahead, after a while you will come across a piece of
[[Intel]]. It's on one side of the path you are walking on and is fairly easy
to spot since it's always glowing. Anyway, at the end, go down the steps and
fall thru the crack in the ground. You will not move thru what seems to be a
creepy place. You will also locate the person who was being held hostage.

---> // Find the 33rd //

Take the stun grenades from the box ahead and move to the dead CIA guy. Go down
using the rappel and you will come to a place where you can pick up another
piece of [[Intel]] on a bench. Move ahead anyway and you will find more
soldiers shooting at you. Kill them and move out. Take cover and start shooting
everyone ahead - you need to make your way to the other side now and there are
a ton of enemies in between and they keep coming. If you make it to the other
side then you will come to a door which one of your team mates breach.

---> // Get to the Lower Floors //

Move ahead and shoot the soldiers you can see from the edge and move to the
left and go down the spiral staircase. Beware - many soldiers come up the
stairs so watchout for them and keep your rifle aiming all the time. Also, make
sure you are moving behind cover. Go down all the way and kill the guy on the
turret and then some more - if you cannot take him from here then you can go up
the stairs and shoot from above.

Go back down and move thru. There are still like a few dozen soldiers below and
ahead of you so you will need to spend a lot of time getting thru but if you do
get thru, you will be shown a marker you need to move to.

---> // Capture the Turret //

Move to the marked location and shoot the soldiers on your way ahead. There's
a guy on the turret and two more beside him - take them all down and
immediately mount the turret. Start shooting the large window ahead to the
right -

You need ot shoot all over the window and not just one place - you will see
cracks appear as you keep shooting and they need to appear all over the window
or it will not break. You will be actually prompted to shoot the window after
a while after you get the turret but it's best to start shooting as soon as you
get it. After the glass blows up, the sand from outside buries the enemies and
you have a way out of this place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE EDGE

---> // Find a way Down //

Move ahead in the barren dessert and jump down thru the hole in the ground. You
will come to the end of the building on it's balcony, move to the right and use
the Zip Line here to go to the next place. Go down the stairs next and you will
come to another set of steps where there are two goons below. Kill them and
keep going all the way.

After hearing the coversation on the other side kill everyone and move out.
Take cover behind the railing above the steps and kill everyone below and when
they stop coming, move down and continue killing. Go left and you will find
a room to the left, you will find [[Intel]].

Move out here and use the rope in the end to rapple below.

---> // Take Out the Snipers //

Move to the left and pick up the sniper from the dead soldier and start
shooting the enemies on the other side. After the roof is cleared, move to the
gap in the railign ahead and jump down onto the metal bridge.

---> // Keep Moving //

After you fall down, immediately start running like hell because many enemies
come from the left and start shooting at you and you will be without cover.
Once you are below start by killing everyone. You will be here for a long time
and a lot of enemies come out. There's some ammo behind you behind some debris
and if you go into the red shed to the left ahead and walk up, you also find a
Machine Gun.

After this place is clear, move all the way ahead and jump down in the room.
You come to some stairs, if you go down you can pick up some ammo and if you
go up, you will move to the next area. Keep going and suddenly...

---> // Survive //

Take cover and shoot out everyone ahead - pay special attention to the roof
ahead near the dome since atleast a dozen guys try to drop in from there. 

---> // Keep Going Down //

You will find a zipline here also in the end which you can use to go down all
the way. Move past the shaky bridge and you will come to a place where there
are red steps going up. Go up all the way and you can pick up the next
[[Intel]].

Go back down and thru the door. Just keep going and watch what happens...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pit

---> // Stay Alive till Delta Can Reach You //

There's a shotgun to the right behind the large container just ahead. Take it
and return to cover back here. Enemies come in very close to both your sides
and it's both a good and bad thing. The bad thing is that they come at you like
Ninja style and kill you so you need to keep looking to your sides all the time
and the good thing is that you can get their guns if the ammo on your's is
completed. Kill the rest of them here and move ahead. Just as you move ahead
a  container falls down revealing three more enemies. Kill them and move thru.
More here and after you walk a bit you will be led into an ambush.

First kill the guy on the turret and then the rest of the clowns. Move ahead
after that and you will learn that the door is blocked. Now, run behind to the
turret since some of the enemies are coming in from behind you. 

---> // Hold back the 33rd //

                                                                   Kill all of
them - they come in running below you and the ones on the top are vicious with
Snipers and Rocket Launchers. You will also learn that the door get opened in
a short while after which you can move out of this area.

---> // Keep Following the Signal //

Jump down into the pit and witness the destruction. You will come onto a piece
of [[Intel]] to the right on a table. Move ahead and go up the escalator.

---> // Fight Your Way Out //

Take cover and kill te guys ahead. Do not move until you are certain more are
not coming, but you will face more as you move ahead. You will need to move
all te way around to the other side. Keep ammo and guns close becuase you will
need them and there are not enough around. You will also come up to another
turret where you can use a grenade to wipe out the guy behind it. Keep moving
after that and something bad happens...

---> // Run! //

Just keep running and do not stop for even a second or slow down...that chopper
is not forgiving.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Battle

---> // Find a Way Out //

Move ahead in the building and keep going till you get to the stairs. Go down
and move past the Girrafes to the center to find a dead guy and a 417 Rifle
beside him. Then move to the left and go up the stairs to get grenades and a
loaded AK. Move out the window your team just blew and go thru. After you watch
the crash move to the rigth and use the Rapple in the end to get below. Once
you are down, move ahead and you will get into a mini war.

Enemies have HMG's and Snipers apart from the usual Rifles and SHotguns. So,
be very very careful and do not move too much. After this initial place is
clear, move ahead and you will see more enemies. After this one is clear too
go ahead to find the sign board that points to the City Gates. To the right
here is a dead guy on another sign and you will also see a red stop sign which
is actually an [[Intel]].

After you grab it, move ahead and in the next area, you will see something
magnificent in a very bad way. Keep moving thru the brigntness and you will
come to three soldiers, one of whom is a Heavy. You cannot kill this one
normally so go back to cover and make sure you are hitting him with grenades
or just fire - try to hit him in the torso section if you are using bullets.
After he falls, move ahead and you will reach the entrance of a building with
the word - Christienne written to the left and right under it is another
[[Intel]. Move thru the building to get to your next location.

---> // Find Ghould //

If you choose to save Ghould then shoot the guys ahead and jump belwo. You need
to take cover just here to the right or if you like a rocket launcher, quickly
sprint straight ahead and you will see in below near a statue. Go back to
cover and start killing guys. A Heavy comes in shortly and you will need to
cocentrate all your fire power on him. After he is killed proceed with the
clearing of this area - no one can stay alive. After you are done with the
enemies, run back to Ghould.

---> // Move to the Gate //

You will see that Ghould did not leave without giving or saying something
useful. Now, go to the pointer on the screen to get to the gate and wait for
your team to open it and go thru.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gate

---> // Get to the Gate //

Move ahead and keep walking up the stairs and you will see the gate. After your
team kills the one guy below you will be left with an important choice. You can
either kill everyone using your own guns or you can use the mortar to the rigth

Now, the choice is your's to make so do something but know that if you want to
kill everyone with your own weapons - it is going to get extremely difficult.
There will be a lot of problems too. If you use the mortar, things will be easy
but there will be certain consequences - so both ways have their own ups and
downs. After the killing is taken care of, move to the left and use the rope
to grapple down and move ahead.

---> // Storm the Gate //

You will come to another set of enemies so just keep killing and move ahead.
You will come on the top of some stairs, stay here and kill the guys below. If
you run out of ammo, you will need to go down and take some from the enemies
you killed. Other than that, stay put and take your time. There are grenades to
the left of the area below and if you pass this area, you will start the next
part of the mission.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Road

---> // Obey //

First go backwards and take the American flag to the right - it's an [[Intel]].
Now, move ahead and use the rapple rope to climb down. Soon, you come to two
guys who are hanging by their hands on rope. They are also being pointed at by
two snipers each. You can either choose and kill one of these guys or kill the
snipers. Anyway, if you choose to kill the Snipers or move ahead without doing
anything, both the guys will die but you can kill the Snipers anyway and move
ahead - there's a van ahead behind which you can get ample cover from the four
snipers.

---> // Defend Your Position //

Keep going and you will see two guys on top of a bridge of sorts. Kill them and
run below where they are and take cover. You can pick up a sniper here and kill
the two RPGs ahead. One is on top of the train to the left and the other is
straight ahead. Kill them and go for the rest - some come up close to your
right from above a dune. In a short while you will see a sandstorm ravage the
entire place.

---> // Find Shelter //

So, you will need to keep moving in the sandstorm while killing enemies. You
ought to take cover behind something when you see multiple enemies ahead - keep
looking to your left and right ahead. Just keep going like that and you will
see a pointer showing where you need to go. Continue on your path and you will
reach there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riggs

Move ahead and in a room you will find a piece of [[Intel]] to the right on a
table. Keep going and you will reach an are where some fighting is going on.

---> // Save Riggs //

There's an RPG and some other guns to the right here and ample cover from the
railing. The enemies are all below you and some might come up on top ahead of
you but most of them are below. They also have a tendency to come close and
climb the steps below you, look out for them. You can take out most of them
as they come from the rigth. After the enemy forces are exausted, go down the
steps here and move to Riggs ahead to the left. Follow him inside and when you
start hearing enemies you will find the second [[Intel]] on a small table to
the right.

---> // Follow Riggs to the Depot //

This is one of the most exausting objectives and that is only because it is
very long. Start by taking the grenades nearby and killing the enemies who come
in ahead of you. Move thru this area and you will reach a large building. Go in
and immediately take cover. Shoot the enemies on top and ahead of you first and
move up. You can move ahead the moment you do not hear any more enemies coming
at you. So go up and you will need to navigate thru the upper floors too which
are obviously inhabited by many enemies. You will then reach a glass from which
you can see the Aquatic Colosseum below ahead.

The door which is supposed to take you there will not open and some enemies are
coming up from behind you so go back and take cover while Riggs takes care of
the door. Afer the normal enemies are finished, a specialized squad with a lot
of armor on each of them drops in. Make sure you aim at their heads for faster
kills or even properly aimed grendes will do - btu whatever happens, do not
let these guys move in close to you. Riggs tells you that you can open the door
now so go there and and kick in the door and move thru.

You will now reach the parking area. This is overly populated and the enemies
have a lot of grendes so watch it. Kill anyone you see and try not to move too
much. You will stay here for quite some time. When all the troops stop coming.
One of them gets on top of a turret which is mounted on a vehicle ahead. And if
are near the start of this area you will not be able to take him out unless you
have a weapon with zoom scope. So, move ahead when that guy is aiming for your
friends and move in close to take him out. After you kill him you will find
Riggs close by.

---> // Secure the Trucks //

You will go into the water complex in a bit and you can see enemies all around
the area. Kill the nearest guy and take out everyone else - which is much much
more difficult in action than it is in saying it. Try to look out for the
snipers who come up on the beam which is above you far ahead and also the ones
to the right. Just keep killing and move to the right. You will need to mvoe to
the bottom part of the complex and each place you go thru has dozens of enemies
The best thing you can do is take it slow and eventually you will reach the
bottom of the complex.

When you see the truck just ahead of where you are, kill the nearest guys and
take cover behind the closest truck and move to the next truck. You will see
some guy on a turret ahead on a truck. You can either lob a grenade on his head
or just keep shooting. After you take him out, we head to the second part of
chapter 10.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stealing Water

---> // Protect the Trucks //

This is just point and shoot. You do have unlimited ammo but there are that
many enemies too. Just keep shooting and you better be quick aiming at them.
You may actually need to repeat this a couple of times on higher difficulties.
The worst area is when you stop and there is a turret in the bulding ahead with
enemies. Just keep lobbing grendes just on top of the turret to take the guy
out. Also, one more comes to replace him in a few so watch out for him too.
Other than that, it's enemies on the upper floor, enemies to the right and so
on. After you get thru this area, you will need to fire at Humvees and copters
so you better be ready.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alone

Walk on and you will see the disdain on the locals. You will also find the
snake Riggs. He wants you to kill him because he would soon be burned and die
painfully.

---> // Locate your Squad //

Keep going and you can jump down into the desert below. You will also hear Lugo
tell you that they are being surrounded by the enemies. You can find a pistol
 bear the dead guy ahead. Take and go into the building ahead where you see
some troops run in. Go up the stairs in there and you will come up to an enemy
and some guy is holding Lugo hostage far ahead. You should first kill the guy
holding Lugo and not the one near to you. Shoot that guy in the head because if
you do not kill him in one shot, Lugo will die. Then kill the guy ahead of you
and jump over. There's a rifle here. Take it and use it on all of the enemies.

Keep shooting and in a while a few of the enemies come from your left from
behind a barrcade. Kill them and soon some sand comes in over the barricade
allowing you to cross over. Here, take the Zipline to the next area. Kill the
far ahead who are shooting at your squad and also the ones nearby. After the
area is empty, move ahead into the next room.

This place looks like it came out of someone's dope induced nightmares. The
lights in the room keep flashing on and off and for some reason, if you shoot
the heavy ahead, he might teleport into another location placing a mannequin
in his place. Just keep shooting and he cannot get near you so just stay behind
cover and take your time. Shoot him in the torso to take him out and pick up
his gun. There's an ammo box to the right side of this room. Take it and keep
going, use the next zipline to get to the next area.

---> // Distract the Soldiers //

Move ahead and kill the guys on the right. At this point, the Colonel shouts
into your earpiece which makes two enemies on top aware of your location. Kill
both of them and go up. Look to the right and you will see some bloke on the
turret. Kill him and take the turret for yourself.

---> // Protect Your Squad //

Now, your guys are on the lower floor and need to go to the roof where you can
see a zipline is connected to where you are. So they want to get on top and use
the zipline to get to you. First, kill the enemies who come from the right
below the stairs and then from the left. As they go up you will need to shoot
the door on the upper floor since it is locked and an ambush is waiting for
them. Two heavies come at them, one after the other so watch out for them and
also kill the other guys here. You will need to keep looking in all directions
since some enemies come ahead of you directly across to take you out. Anyway,
as they reach the top, some more come up on the roof, kill them and keep
killing and eventually, they will survive and use the Zipline to get to you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rooftops

---> // Get to the Radio Tower //

Just keep following your squadmates ahead till you get to a place with a room
ahead where you hear the Snipers talking. One of them is to the left of this
room outside so kill him first and clear the room inside. Move in and go
further in. Keep killing them but in the last room there are going to be more
than the usual since they keep dropping from above. Go outside after you kill
the ones inside and one of your squadmates tells you about the snipers on the
opposite building. You ought to have picked up a Sniper rifle by now so use
it on them and move ahead.

Take the Zipline to the otherside and when you reach that place you will have
a strange vision - kill the guy who is below you (he looks like one of your
squad mates). Execute him and move ahead, you will see some stairs going up.
To the right side of these stairs is an [[Intel]]. Go up the stairs and keep
going till you are outside.

---> // Clear the Roof //

Take one of the Scout Tacticals here if you don't already have one and start
clearing the roof ahead. Pay more attention to the guys who come on the turret
to the right. The cover here is destructable so move from cover to cover when
the turret targets you. Use the zipline to the left here to get across.

---> // Locate the Radioman //

Keep going up all the way till you get to the main room where you can see a
wash basin to the left side of the room. Go there and pick up the [[Intel]]
here. Go up the next set of stairs to get to the radioman.

---> // Get to the Helo //

Move back down the same way you came up. Take cover to the right side of the
room because some of the Zulu squad comes in from the left. Kill them and move
across and you will come to a door when you hear the clicking sound of a bomb.
Run back and take cover. Kill the enemies outside and move out. Keep killing
the ones on top ahead and move up there. There are going to be more coming
from ahead. Your squad keeps you udated on where the enemies are so hear them
out and kill accordingly. After the path is clear, Lugo will as you to run to
the Helo.

---> // Cover Lugo's Escape //

First, enemies come from the left below. Kill them and more come from the left
above and then from behind Lugo. Keep killing all of them and soon Lugo will
get in. You can also use the two large explosive tanks below when enemies are
near them.

---> // Bring it Down //

Start killign everyone you see, when you come above the pool, kill the guys
you see first and then the Heavy who is below the sound equipment on the other
side of the pool. You will then come up to the tower where more enemies are
behind the glass. Just keep shooting the glass and there is absolutely no
need to stop shooting because the mini does not get over-heated.

After the normal guys, you will start a copter shooting sequence (just like
the beginning of the game). Keep hitting those choppers and on two occassions
you will have a missile coming at you. Shoot it down too and see what happens..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adams

---> // Find Adams //

Move ahead and go thru the yatchs to find Adams. Kill everyone along your way
and keep going. There isn't much to do except shoot and kill. You will hear
from Lugo soon and he seems to be in great distress.

---> // Follow Lugo's signal //

As you keep moving thru the areas behind Adams, you will come to the [[Intel]].
After you come out you will face a lot of resistance. There are snipers in the
yatch far ahead so take them out and kill everyone outside too. You will spend
a lot of time just killing. Pick up some ammo as you move ahead and as you
enter the Yatch, more enemies come out. Kill them and go inside. Go up and
drop down the other side. Keep killing and moving ahead.

---> // Take cover in the yatch //

Once you come out again you will find grenades and ammo to the left. You will
also see a vehicle come from the right and a knifer, a heavy and some Zulus
come out. The best place to take cover is from the front of the Yatch. As soon
as you come out into the open you ought to run like hell and take cover in the
front part of the Yatch and kill the knifer who comes by. The Heavy also comes
close and it's better to mark the heavy so Adams also shoots him. You will
spend a lot of time here itself. When the sandstorm comes at you just keep
killing and it will pass soon enough. 

You cannot get progress without killing the enemies. Just kill all of them and
run to where Lugo's marker is. After you find Lugo you will need to shoot the
crowd to disperse them. Then you will pass thru a place where you find the
second [[Intel]]. Go up the stairs here to come out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bridge

---> // Move to the Tower //

Move ahead and start your killing, you will enter the Dubai Seaside after a
while and you can pick up some grenades here. There is no shortage of weapons
or ammo in this part of the game but it is better if you keep the grenades so
that you can use them later. Once you come out, you will start killing enemies
and a turret is in the corner right. Some enemies and snipers come above you,
kill them and move ahead. Use the grenades on the turret and if they can't
reach it (check the trajetory) move ahead a bit and throw.

You will come inside a building momentarily and then go up the steps. Look to
the right here to find an [[Intel]]. Move out thru the door and in a bit you
will see a mortar blow up and get another hallucination. After it ends, take
cover and pick up the RPG. Use the RPG to hit the tower ahead (you can see a
red mark on it).

---> // Take the turret bunker //

Keep the RPG with you because you will need it. Move ahead and keep killing.
You will pass two Turrets, where you can use your RPG to clear out the places
or grenades. You will need to get close to the two to hit them with grenades
so look carefully and only then move. Get into the right side bunker and move
thru this area and to the next. Make sure you look around for the best weapons.
There's a grenade launcher in the bunker to the right of the exit - take it and
don't use it on the normal guys because you will need in after a little while.

Move all the way to the door which blasts open and a heavy comes out but looks
like Lugo. If you are far enough, use our grenade launcher on him and go thru.
You will find the second [[Intel]] to the left here which is on a flag.

Head out and keep killing the enemies and lob a grenade into the turret bunker
here too to take him out. Move ahead all the way and...

---> // Run Goddamn it //

Run Goddamn it!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome

Move ahead and go into the elevator. On the upper floor you will find an
[[Intel]] to the left of the stairs which lead up to the Colonel. After you get
to him everything is pretty straight forward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EPILOGUE

To put down the gun hit space or just start killing everyone...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
