Starting the mission out, your boat has sunk, and you've lost a lot of equipment. Ouch. Major bummer. On with the mission... You have two comrades to help you out, thankfully. So let's get the party rolling. Pick up all of the items that you can from your clumsiness, and go around to the right side of the ship, moving quietly as you go along.
Heal one of the wounded men, and recruit him. Afterwards, go over and pick up some items. You may get shot at from the tower up above, so hide along the side of the ship until the fire wears out. Leave your team in the safe zone, and walk over to the rubble on the far left, crouching along the way. Collect the Medic Kit here, and switch to the Machinegun.
Heal the other wounded soldier, and take him over to the others after recruiting. Make him stay there, and go over to the next iceberg to collect the Medic Kit. Go over to the next iceberg slowly to grab the Rocket Launcher, which you should aim at the huge tower where the guards are shooting at you. Let it rip!
With the tower destroyed, go over and heal the wounded Freedom Fighter. Recruit him, and call your troops over to you. Be sure to collect your Machinegun before you go out. Make the guards attack the Soviets as you close in on the base. Your troops will ambush them before they even know what hit them. Feel free to take one or two of them down yourself.
Climb the ladder in the center of the upcoming area, and head over to the left, up the short stairs. Open the manhole to reach the Munitions Depot section. We will need C4, and this is where to find it at. Collect the Molotov Cocktails, and head out from the north (backwards), and go east.
You will encounter a rowdy Machinegun guard, so get up close and blast him away with your Machinegun. Collect his ammo, and begin shooting at the guards near here, with you hiding behind the wall when you need to take a breather. Move to the right across the street, and throw a few Molotovs into the warehouse building to possibly kill the Machinegun toting guard. Collect his ammo, and let the guards have it. Be sure to collect all of the Medic Kits in this area.
Go back out into the street, and make a left at the flaming barrel. Destroy everyone around with the Machinegun, and go into the warehouse on the right. Collect all of the Medic Kits, and more importantly, the C4 Charges. Exit, and go to the right, around the corner. Collect the supplies, and open the manhole. Go to the Boat Landing section from here.
Make your way further to your destination, and turn into the shed-like building. Kill a soldier along the way, and head up the stairs. Kill the soldiers, and round the corner to find an open doorway with a wounded man inside. Heal him for some Charisma Points. Afterwards, head out of this room and to the door leading outside onto the balcony.
Walk down the stairs and through the gate. Heal the wounded soldier to recruit him. Now, you must make your way to the ventilation fan building, killing some guards along the way, as well as avoiding sniper fire from above (where the fan is). Head up the stairs inside, killing a few guards along the way, and take out the soldier and the sniper once you are up here.
Have your partner defend at the head of the stairs, and place some C4 at the ventilation area. After this is done, just back away. You can recruit several Freedom Fighters after the blast. Now, collect your partner and run down the stairs quickly. Run out of the door, and have your awesome army defeat any enemies that are waiting for you.
Head straight through all of the enemies while collecting the Machinegun of the fallen Machinegun Guard, and to the left. Open and enter the manhole, and go to the Munitions Depot to collect more C4. Thankfully, we're right here, so get your goods and go back to the manhole. Locate over to the Artillery section of the stage.
Wait until all of your party have exited the manhole, and head over to the right. There are a couple of Mortars that you can spot on the map that must be taken out. Send your troops towards the first one, with them evenly divided to the two sides. As for you, walk along to the left and blow away the Soviets through the fence with that Machinegun.
Your troops will automatically go for the second Mortar, so let them. By time you catch up, over half of the mess will be eliminated. If a troop is down, heal him up and collect a Medic Kit from the Mortar. Once this is cleared out, head back the way you came from, and Quick Save in the manhole that we came from, as now is a good time to.
Head south on the map, and lead your team in to take care of a few goons on the rooftop with the flag. Keep heading this way, and soon you will notice a huge ruckus to the right, as you have reached a defensive standpoint. Hide behind the barricade, and blast away at the Soviets controlling the turrets. Send your troops in after they are down, and they should take care of the rest of them.
Move forward, and go into the small building on the left whilst blowing away the Soviets. Heal the man inside for some Charisma Points. You can find another defense set-up that is very easy to overcome around the bend. A Helicopter will get near here, so stay on your guard. You may be running close to empty on the ol' Machinegun, so drop it for the Assault Rifle, and scour the field for some ammo.
You will find a small green door that you should take. Destroy all of the Soviets inside of this room by leading your troops to them. Down here, scout the area for doors that lead to victims that you can heal. You can find a set of stairs in the immediate area that will take you to the rooftop. Kill a few guards yourself leading up, and send your troops onto the rooftop to do battle with some soldiers.
Place the C4 on the helipad, and back away quickly. Watch it blow, and then go down the stairs. Exit the building, and walk up the metal stairs outside to enter a barn building. There are tons of enemies in through here, as there are tons of Medic Kits in there here, as well. Go down the stairs to the left to duel with the Soviets below, and climb up the stairs across from this area.
You can now exit this building through more stairs that look like the ones that we entered with. Send your troops through the gates straight ahead to battle the Soviet defenses here, although there shouldn't be much left over. Throw some Grenades into the building on the right to destroy the Machinegun Guard. Go inside of the building once this is done.
Once you are inside of this area, you will have to deal with a few Submachine Gun Guards and even a few Stealthy Ninja-like guards. Just blow them away with the Machinegun that you swapped from the guard. Go up the stairs, and look for the rooftop. Outside, raise the flag near the center to complete this section of the stage.
Now, go to the Munitions Depot and collect some more C4 Charges in that shed like we did before. With this done, go back to the sewer system and locate to the Docks section of the stage. Once here, keep moving straight and order the troops to attack once you reach the area with all of the green trenches. Stay behind one of these, and your soldiers will kill everything in sight for you.
You will find a duct that leads to an open room to the right, so order your troops in to destroy all of the enemies inside. Now, climb up the duct and go through the room down the ladder. Heal two citizens for some Charisma Points, and order your troops outside. Stay inside for a few seconds, and rush out, shooting at the defenses.
Send the troops down the alleyway to defeat the enemies down here while you sneak up on the enemy behind the turret. Advance further down this alley, and go through the gates on the left to reach the helipad area. Have your soldiers do the nasty stuff while you hide behind the barricade. If anyone dies, try to reach him or her to revive them.
Place the C4 at the helipad to destroy it, and run away. Watch out for the snipers on the rooftop, and try to take them out yourself. Now go through a pair of gates that are wide open, and look between the platforms for hiding soldiers that will need to be exterminated. Go straight and up the stairs to reach a sniper, and a Sniper Rifle. Take the rifle.
Now you will have to jump from rooftop to rooftop of the platforms in order to get a good position, and then snipe away. Afterwards, go to the warehouse and eliminate any enemies you see with your team. Collect the Machinegun from a Machinegun guard, and collect anything inside of the warehouse. On the map, go as far south as this area will take you, and west. This will lead you through an alley with a doorway leading to a factory.
Inside of here, to the right you can find a wounded civilian for Charisma Points. Go up the stairs and take out some enemies. Go to the exit and watch out for the Machinegun Guard. Kill him, steal his weapon, and raise the flag on the flagpole.
Time to revisit the Boat Landing section one last time around. Head away from the ventilation path, and you will want to enter to the left, and hug left to go up to the turret. Send your troops down below to battle with the Soviets while you pick them off with the turret. Heal the citizen with a Medic Kit for Charisma Points.
Once everything is clear, march forward and pick up the Machinegun, then hop the wall. Start destroying the soldiers once you land. Have your troops search and destroy in this area. Take out the sniper on the balcony up ahead. Round the corner to the right, and begin shooting all of the enemies at the foot of the steps with a little help from your friends.
After this area is cleared out, walk down and look on the left for a set of stairs to climb. Climb up, and hoist the flag. It's as simple as that. Now, you will need to select the Munitions Depot, as it is the last section to complete before Fort Jay.
Starting out, round the corner and collect some C4 while your troops destroy the enemies here. Afterwards, round the corner around the warehouse and climb the nearly boxes to the very top of the rooftops. Kill the sniper in the watchtower house, and climb down the stairs from here. Call your troops over, and have an all out brawl with the Soviets here.
Run into the warehouse on the left, and heal an injured man for some Charisma Points. There is a doorway on the side inside of the warehouse, so take it through. This will lead you to the flag, which you should hoist immediately to complete the objective here.
We are almost finished with the game. Grab a Submachine Gun, and go to Fort Jay. Here, you will want to exit this area and go right to a devastated building. Destroy all forces in your way, and go up the stairs in this building to reach a turret that you can use to blast the Soviets away.
Advance with your troops as you close in on the Soviets. Allow your team to hurt the baddies while you heal them if they go down. After the enemies are dead, go straight into the base, and up the stairs inside of the doorway. You will have to defeat several guards in a circle, as well as the ones inside of the circle.
Go through the other hall, and go down and up the sets of stairs. Send your troops ahead, as they will attack the guards in this area. This is another circular area that has plenty of guards in it. Once you're done with them, go through the other hall and through the door, leading your troops to take the steam off of them. Now, order them to the frontline to dismantle all of the Soviets outside .
Outside, go to the first hall on the right and walk through. Allow your troops to go ahead of you to eliminate the hiding Soviets as you make your way through. Once you reach the green hall, send more troops out the other day to kill off the commies. Walk straight ahead and into the cage to save Isabella.
Walk up the stairs on the mainstay and go to the right. Send your troops ahead of you to take care of the threats up here, and follow them after the noise has settled down some. Raise the first flag up. Now, go through the green hall, and turn left. Kill the soldiers down here with the Assault Rifle, and walk down the stairs.
You should be able to handle the guards at the bottom by yourself with the automatic weapon. Take the stairs on the right, and go through to the left. There's a Medic Kit on the table, so if injured, heal up and take it. Follow these linear corridors through to the courtyard, and into the next set of living quarters.
Follow this through, as well, only cut down the stairs once you reach them. Several guards should be sneaking up the stairs, so kill them and send your troops ahead of you. Throw some grenades down the stairs for some easy kills. Send your troops up the stairs on the left side to clear out this area. You really should help them, don't you think? Raise the flag after. Two to go.
Cross straight down the stairs to the right side instead, and send some troops up there with you. Kill all of the Soviets up here, and raise an easy third flag. Only one left, and it is right across the stairs on the left, just like before . Throw a few Molotov Cocktails out to make a toasty Soviet sandwich.
Raise the last flag once the area is clear, and you will have completed the game. Sit back, and watch the ending. Congratulations, you have annihilated Freedom Fighters!
