1 INTRODUCTION

================================================================================





This is a walkthrough written for an efficient approach to finishing the single

player in BFBC while collecting all Gold and collectibles. While it is for both

consoles, there really isn't any reason to collect everything on PS3, so really

this is mainly for 360 players who want those lovely achievements. There isn't

necessarily a right way of playing BFBC,this is just the most time saving manner

in which to do so.

For any comments or questions my email is Maesir@REMOVETHISyahoo.com Remember to

put Battlefield or BFBC in the subject or i'll just treat it like spam and

delete it. :)

4 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

================================================================================



The grenade launcher attachment

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

For the purposes of this walkthrough, you will need an assault rifle at all

times The grenade launcher attachment is simply indispensible. For this reason

when I point out to collect a weapon, it is solely for the purpose of collecting

it. You should always pick up your assault rifle again. If you can get away

without one, I will specifically say so in the guide. Of course this is just

for the most efficient completist playthrough. Battlefield can be played

through in lots of ways and the change in weapons changes the game

drastically. You'll never be stuck if you don't keep the weapons I tell you

to, it just means you'll have to look around at the available resources a bit

more :)



Respawning

----------

It's a bit hard to get your head round after so many other single player

FPS games, but the Respawn mechanic can be really abused. It works exactly as

you'd expect from a Multiplayer game, so the level progression will be

untouched when you are respawned. This means if you can't get through a

section, just keep taking a running jump at it and you'll break through

eventually. It's also important to remember if you pass a checkpoint and

you're in a vehicle, the respawn will respawn the vehicle as well.



Directions

----------

I've used lefts and rights instead of cardinal directions based on the map.

These are always based on the direction you're going, so they should always

make sense. If you get lost, retrace your steps to figure out what I mean.



================================================================================

5.1 MISSION 1: WELCOME TO BAD COMPANY

================================================================================







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

¦ ¦

¦ Seize the Artillery ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: S20K, AEK271

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Once the cutscenes are over the game throws you into a tutorial. Proceed through

the tutorial and then gather at the smoke. Get into the jeep and drive up the

hill to the artillery site.Dump the jeep upon reaching the metal spikes blocking

the road. Get out and run down the hill to the cluster of houses. Three guards

here, kill them or run through. Behind the back house, a path leads around the

regroup at the smoke and then man the artillery gun to provide support for juno

company. The enemy come in three waves and don't pose much of a threat.Take them

out at your leisure -though if you're going for a speedy playthrough, aim half a

screens length infront of them to kill some while they are still travelling.With

that dealt with,head down the path and back up to the main road to find a newly

spawned jeep.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Operation Ram ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Ignore the Vodnik and continue to your next objective along the road. When you

reach the house, jump out of the jeep. Knife the door and collect the XM8. Get

back in the jeep and drive down to the enemy base at the river for Objective Ram

Wait at the entrance of the base and use the mounted gun on the jeep to kill the

soldiers (fix the jeep with the power-tool you collected in the tutorial if it

gets too damaged) or just let your team mates kill them. With that done,

move the truck out of the way and drive right to the edge of the river and use

the mounted gun on the jeep again. Kill all the soldiers and ignore the BMD

light tank that arrives - an allied helicopter takes him out :) With the

enemy infantry dead,regroup at the smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Operation Mustang ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Drive straight to the next objective in the Vodnik. Eliminate the enemy, paying

particular attention to the mounter gunner in the barn roof, he can cause some

serious damage! Once they're dead another BMD light tank makes an appearance.

Collect the marked Rocket Launcher and kill it! It should take two shots, or one

shot plus a grenade round or two from your primary weapon.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Operation Impala ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



If you're playing on hard, kill the mounted gunners here as they can do some

serious damage very quickly. On Normal and Easy you should be able to use the C4

and blow up the AA guns by running in, destroying the targets, heal and run out.

Next is onto Operation Bronco.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Operation Bronco ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Make sure you still have the C4 (you'll need it) Continue up the road the convoy

is lined up on in the Vodnik and follow it to the farm. Drive past the first

buildings and park at the crossroads. USe the mounted gun and shoot the red

boxes by the grain silo's and then the red boxes in the barn roof with

the mounted gunner. With them taken care of, eliminate the other enemies. An

additional objective is given to eliminate incoming reinforcements. Hot foot it

over to the bridge and just before it, lay down some C4 and stand back. It's

important that you don't plant is ON the bridge, do it just before. A vodnik

comes pelting over the bridge; just before it reaches it, set off the C4. One

down :D Repeat the process as a truck comes over. As the truck is exploding run

back to the road opposite the barn and silo (the one you used to get here)

and you'll see a truck coming at you. Drop some C4, get out of it's way and

blow it up. No sooner have you done this a tank will steam roller towards you.

Hide behind a building until it passes by and then stick it with the C4 and

blow it up. Nice and easy :)





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

¦ ¦

¦ Objective Taurus ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Get in the vodnik, go across the bridge and tail the convoy. Not too close

though! The convoy will come under fire from artillery again. Get out of the

vodnik and run to the red smoke. When you regain control get back in the vodnik

(if it's too damaged go get another one from near the bridge) drive up the road

right up to the edge of the combat zone. Now turn left and head up the hill

towards the radar jammers. Use the Vodnik's mounted gun to take out the radar

jammers and then get out and regroup at the smoke. If the Vodnik is still okay,

use it, otherwise hotfoot it off to the right and head towards the objective

with no resistance.





================================================================================

5.2 MISSION 2: ACTA NON VERBA

================================================================================





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

¦ ¦

¦ Explore The House, ¦

¦ Clear the Soldiers and ¦

¦ regroup ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 2



Smash open the door and enter the house. Collect the Gold inside to get your

first collectable Gold bar. Also collect the C4 laying around and head towards

the next objective to clear the enemy forces.There's two enemies walking down

the road, one inside the first house, three inside the tall house with the

stationary gun, one walking around the house and three down by the beach. Kill

them all. The second Gold bar in inside the house with the stationary gun

on the second floor. Collect it and regroup at the red smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Objective Backfield ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : 870 MCS

Gold: 1



While this mission does offer some freedom in which objective to complete first,

it's actually better to listen to the sarge on this one. First though, grab

the vodnik on the right and drive along the river to reach a small enemy outpost

The 870MCS weapon pickup is next to the small shed and the next bar of Gold is

waiting in the middle of the construction works. Having gotten both, get into

the boat and sail across the river. Approach the Artillery base from the side,

opening its walls up using the grenade launcher attachment. Kill the two guards

at the side, head in and shoot the guards high and low at the far end of the

building. There should be another guard just over the boxes, kill him too.

Plant the C4 on the artillery and blow it all to smithereens. (Plant the C4

actually ON the artillery rather than on the floor near it, otherwise your just

gonna have to plant some more). With that done, leave the way you came in and

head across the river again to your next objective. Ignore the enemies and make

a straight climb up the hill to the wooden buildings at the side of the fuel

base. Blow a hole in them and enter the base. Killing here is optional, all you

really want to do as you approach the fuel base is aim high and use a grenade

to blow out the second floor walls and then follow it up with a second to take

out the fuel canisters up high on the right of the building. Then walk in and

fire a grenade at the big fuel contaniners on the ground floor and then look

to the left and fire a grenade at the fuel cannisters on the second floor

(have your targeter just at the top of the cannisters to hit them. With that

done turn around, leg it out and to the right to regroup at the smoke again

:)





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

¦ ¦

¦ Take out the Soldiers ¦

¦ on the bridge ¦

¦ Reach Zabrograd ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Pick up the mortar strike and aim out of the window at the Vodniks. It should

take two strikes to elimatate all enemies on the bridge. With that done,

collect your C4 again and make your way across the destroyed bridge. Get into

the Vodnik at the side of the road and drive to the next regroup spot. You can

cut the first hairpin and drive along the road that passes under the hill to

avoid the enemies lurking in the ruins.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Obejctive Offside ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 1



Head into the town via the main entrance. Be on the lookout for incoming rockets

as a direct hit will result in death. Gun down any immediate threats and use

your grenade launcher to take out the first two rocket turrets (Kornets). As

you approach the third down the road a BMD tank will make its way towards you.

Dive into a side street and as the BMD closes in, run out and plant some C4 on

it for a quick solution to your tank problem. Quickly take out the gunner on the

kornet and then fire another grenade up at it. This one can be a bit tricky

to hit, so if your not confidant with your grenade aiming skills, just head up

the house and take it out at close range. Head left to your final stationary

target. Refill your grenades as you approach and just fire them off from a

distance to deal with him. WIth the objective finished head towards the exit

near your next objective. But before you take the exit, head right and head

into the house with the balcony and the stationary gunner, this should be two

houses away from the exit. Head into the house and on the second floor you

should find the next bar of Gold :) Okay now blow a hole in the wall and make

your way to the smoke for the next objective.





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

¦ ¦

¦ Protect The Tanks ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : M249

Gold: 1



This objective can be a little tiresome as your forced to go at the pace of the

tanks and even if you rush on ahead, you have to wait for them catch up. You

might be tempted to grab the repair tool here, but trust me and stick with your

C4. As you start following/leading the tanks, the house on the right with the

enemy troops holds the M249 weapon pickup. If you already have it you can hop

in to one of the tanks and use thier machine guns to take out most of the enemy

here.Plus the tanks are far more resistant to damage when you are in them. About

half way the tanks stop and you're ambushed by BMD's. You can get out and blow

them up using your C4 if you want, but the friendly tanks make short work of

them anyway; just concentrate on the enemy troops in the back.As the tanks start

moving again, keep killing the enemies and quickly take care of the kornet in

the distance. If your tank gets low on health, hop out and jump into another one

If one or two of your tanks bites the dusk, its no big deal, but this is on

of the sections in the game where you can't respawn. Once the tanks reach their

destination head over the far left to this entrance into Zabograd,behind

the mausoleams to find another bar of Gold and your final for the level. Regroup

at the smoke with that done.





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

¦ ¦

¦ Destroy the Radio ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: AKS74u

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Head into the town behind the tanks. Ingnore the enemies and head to the house

directly right of the way you came into town. Plant three sticks of C4 near the

corner of the house by the door and just outside of the door. Remember,press

Square (or X on 360) to lay another C4 without blowing up the first) Now turn a

round and head back and to the left. There's a L shaped fence back here. Plant

the rest of your C4 here. With those preperations made arm your gun and head

to the house that has your objective. Kill the numerous guards outside.

Pickup and drop the AKS74u - it's carried by the specialists, the enemies with

the black ski masks. Head up into the house and destroy the radio equipment.

Then head back out to regroup at the smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Groundhog Down ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Start heading towards the opposite side of town. As you near the fountain, get

out your C4 and set it off. This should hopefully completly destroy the first

wave of enemies that are supposed to rush at you :) Now refill your C4 and gun

down any stragglers. There will be a vodnik at some point, use the C4 or rocket

launcher to take it out. Two soldiers will spawn inside houses infront of the

tank, they won't come down, so your gonna have to go kill them personally. With

the first waves taken care of you should get a checkpoint save. At this point,

run over to the entrance opposite the downed tank and plant the C4 at the

archway. A BMD will trundle over soon, set off the C4 and destroy him. As he

explodes throw another C4 at the trailing Vodnik and blow him up too. A few

infantry later and the enemy threat is over. Regroup at the smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Reach The Harbour ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : SCAR

Gold: -



Get into the Jeep and drive until you hit a roadblock. Climb up the hill to the

regroup smoke. After the cutscene, head back and the right to pick up and drop

the SCAR. Now run at the Harbour, with a well timed running jump, you should be

able to leap the walls. If not, blow them open and run for the warehouse where

the end cutscene will kick in and kill all the mercs :P









================================================================================

5.3 MISSION 3: CROSSING OVER

================================================================================



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

¦ ¦

¦ Saving Private Haggard ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : SPAS12

Gold: -



This looks hard when the level starts, but it's far easier than that. Run

straight down and keep to the right of the main road, chopping fences with your

trusty knife.One of the houses just before the river has the SPAS12, so get that

and drop it and quickly run across the river and up the other side, healing

when necessary. Run past the guard houses, straight to Haggard - this neatly

sidesteps all the guard towers and the Heavy Tank. :)



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

¦ ¦

¦ Destroy the Antennas ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: SV98

Weapon Pickups : AN94, XM8C

Gold: 2



Continue along the road (wait for the combat zone to expand) and get to the

road block. Here you'll find the XM8c Weapon pickup and a bar of Gold. Collect

both and head straight for the antenna. Cut or blow open the fencing and then

fire a grenade at the box at the foot of the antenna to disable it. (Not quite

as impressive as disabling the Antenna in COD4 eh? ;) The next antenna will be

marked on your map, so follow the road towards it. As you head that way there

is a hut on the right with a sniper inside. Kill the sniper and collect and

drop his SV98 if you haven't already and then pick up the AN94 in the same

house and drop it. With that done, leg it to the next antenna. Jus t be careful

of the occasional snipers. Stay to the left as you approach the second antenna

to avoid the base and blow it up as you did with the first. Immedietly head

down the hill towards the big barn to start making your way to the next

antenna. But first, hop into the AA gun to take out the helicopter that appears.

With the helicopter downed, head into the barn's basement to retrieve your next

bar of Gold. Go into the barn and collect the repair tool before hopping into

the Vodnik and speeding to the last antenna. Drive straight through the enemy

forces and blow up the third antenna. Don't worry about the angry enemy - in a

moment the red smoke appears and you can use it to escape them :D



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Harbour ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : MG36

Gold: 1



I know what your thinking...but don't hop into the tank. Get into the vodnik and

start making your way to the harbour. Stick to the right of the road and you'll

come across a house with an empty tank and a weapon pickup. Hop out of the

Vodnik, kill the occupants of the house and collect the MG36 (you can stick

with this weapon if you like, it's pretty good and you don't really need the

grenade attachment for the rest of this level). Collect the Gold bar in the

house and then hop into the Tank. Drive straight to the harbour (use the

repair tool if you take too much damage -respawning puts you right back at the

thrid antenna) Regroup at the smoke at the harbour entrance.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Trucks ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : SVU

Gold: 2



Run down and stick to the right.Climb up the pipes in the water and take out the

soldier in the guard lookout tower and proceed forward. A Vodnik intercepts you

at the road, take out the gunner and the driver. Repair the vodnik and drive it

down the road to the left. Climb up the stairs and then face back out of the

harbour. There's a group of contaniners here and your aim is to leap over the

railing and onto them. Do a running jump to make it easier. The next Gold bar

is on top of the containers. Get back into the vodnik and drive back the way

you came and around further into the harbour. After the next bend you'll see an

enemy vodnik approaching from the right. Drive past him to go where he

came from to reach the regroup smoke. As you regain control head right along

the high ground and then jump off after the big buildings, continue in that

direction and you'll reach two wooden shacks. Go into the one with the Acta Non

Verba sign to collect the last Gold bar for the level. Head back the way you

came, the second large warehouse building has the SVU pickup, so get it and drop

it. Now kill the Vodnik gunner, repair the vodnik and drive it down the last

stretch to the end of the level.







================================================================================

5.4 MISSION 4: PAR FOR THE COURSE

================================================================================



Start of the mission, climb up towards the red smoke and watch the ensuing

cut-scene



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

¦ ¦

¦ Destroy the AA launchers ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : NS2000, MG3, M16, M24

Gold: 2



Head down the cliff face for the target straight infront of you.The buildings

on the right as you approach hold the NS2000, so collect that first. Then head

into the building under the artillery and grab your favourite friend, the C4 :)

Climb up the stairs outside and blow up the artillery using the C4. Leg it to

the left of the base, past the empty tank to the river. Get into a boat and

start to head to the left. Follow the opposite shore around until you reach a

wooden bridge and moor just past it. Get out head to the enemy base to the right

and blow up the second AA launcher. There's also a MG3 weapon pickup on the

right corner as you approach the base, collect it. Run back to your boat

(there will be an enemy tank on its way, so be quick). Take the boat further up

the river until you see another enemy outpost on the right.This one is abandoned

but has the first bar of Gold and the M16 pickup. Get both. The M16 is an

upgraded assault rifle, so feel free to hang on to it. Get back in the boat and

keep following the bank on your right. You will head out of the combat zone as

you round the corner of the land, but ignore the message and you will drive out

safely. Further up there will be an island on your left. Pull up near it and get

off the boat. The island doesn't have much, but it does have your second Gold

pick up and the M24 sniper rifle to collect. Get both and then take the boat

towards the last target. You'll come across a beach strewn with concrete

blockers and metal spikes. Leave the boat, run to the target and C4 it to death

and then run right, through the fence and regroup at the smoke.





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

¦ ¦

¦ Collect the Supply Package ¦

¦ Take out the T94 Tank ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Take the BMD light tank and head up the road to the smoke. Collect the laser

designator and then switch it out for the C4 again. Hide on the near side of

the houses on the right side of the road.When the T94 comes close, run out,stick

him with C4 and blow him to kingdom come. Regroup at the smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Reach the Supply Station ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : PP2000

Gold: 1



Take the BMD and drive up the road to the supplt station. Take out the guard

tower and the soldier next to it.Drive staight through the Supply station, right

up to the enemy BMD. Jump out of your tank and use your C4 to take out the enemy

tank. With him taken out, go around the base and eliminate all other enemies.

Careful with dying here, the spawn point is all the way back at the previous

red smoke and you don't get your vehicles back, so Hard mode can get quite

annoying once you've lost your Vodnik, BMD Tank and Golf Kart. With the enemies

dead collect the PP2000 collectable from the large white building and then

head past the fence behind the two heavy tanks to collect the Gold bar from

near the pillar. With that out the way, pickup a Power tool (there's two near

the tanks) and get into one of the Heavy tanks, you're going for a ride :)



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Palace ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : UMP, VSS

Gold: 1



This is a pretty straightforward section, your tank is more than capable of

taking out all enemies here comfortably. If your playing on Hard, repair your

tank between fights and continue along the path When the game checkpoints for

the third time along the path (this should be just before the encounter with

another T90 in the middle of the road) deal with the enemy tank and then head

left towards the empty T90 tank you should see on your minimap. There's a small

shed near it which holds the next Gold bar. Collect it and hop into the new T90

tank to run the final stretch down towards the palace. This bit can be a little

frustrating on Hard and sometimes on normal. There will be two entrenched T90's

firing at you and on Hard you'll have to kill them to proceed. The best way is

to abuse the respawning system and just keep hammering towards them, firing as

much as you can until they die. Whatever way you choose to destroy them, with

them gone approach the bridge barrier and kill the soldiers here. On the right

of the barrier, in one of the guard towers there will be the UMP submachine gun

to collect. So collect it and head to the bridge. As you reach the bridge it

will explode, so step on to it and step right off. Pick up the VSS and take the

pathway on the left of the bridge.There's a whole bunch of soldiers gunning for

you here so take them out at long range with the VSS. As you reach a third

over the forces across the bridge will open fire as well. There's one Mounted

machine gunner, a sniper right next to him and a sniper in the wooden building

to the left. Use the VSS and take them all out first. Keep an eye on your

health when sniping and heal when required. Once they're dead, that's the main

threats dealt with.Continue along killing the standard soldiers as they approach

until you cross over to the right side and reach the smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Rescue the President ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : PKM

Gold: 1



First thing, kill the few mercs running at you and collect the PKM. You can keep

that if you want, it has a lot of ammo and is pretty good for the last run of

this mission. There's two ways to tackle this bit.On Easy and Normal you can run

straight through the middle of the enemy forces and keep healing to make it to

the checkpoint at the Palace doors. On Hard that's not possible so, head to

the right after collecting the PKM and go around the walls of the garden. On the

minimap it will almost look as though you are out of the Area of Operation, but

you should be fine. When the wall ends you can then make a dash to the Palace

doors and the Garden mercs won't notice you.Once inside, kill all the Mercs.They

all carry M16's so you can use those to replace the PKM or VSS if you still

have it. There's a whole lot of them on the stairs, so careful if you run right

up them.The final Gold bar for the level is on the ground floor in the

back and if the mission doesn't complete once the palace is empty it's because

there's usually a cowardly merc around the back or side of the palace. Once

they're all dead, regroup at the doors to the President's room.





================================================================================

5.5 MISSION 5: AIR FORCE ONE

================================================================================





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

¦ ¦

¦ Helicopter 101 ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 1



Take a moment to get to grips with the helicopter. If you've come from playing

multiplayer you'll notice it's Very different. The Single Player helicopter is

designed for ease of use and it can hover far easier than the multiplayer one

Also it's a tad slower too... Good news is that the rockets the Helicopter

comes armed with are infinite with zero reload,so fire like crazy at everything.

If your on X360 you can rack up quite a few of the achievements here by firing

at everything. So first things first, land at the smoke. Jump out, run in to the

house and collect the powertool and repair the helicopter. Take off and

destroy the three trucks, you should be able to manage it in a single flyover

Ignore the tutorial to use the gunner seat - you don't need it. Fly on! When

you reach the dam, destroy the two trucks going across and land at the left

side of the dam. The large white building has the first Gold bar for the level.

So kill the nearby soldiers, collect the Gold and get back in the helicopter.





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

¦ ¦

¦ Destroy Serdar's Military ¦

¦ Network ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 2



Head towards the next targets. First up are the silos; there are three sets of

them, so as you fly past, fire a few rockets their way to take them out. An

anti-air BMD tank will roll up onto the small bridge past the silos. Fire at him

a few times to take him out, or fire at the bridge and he'll take the plunge;

though of course the latter way will mean you take a few hits. Next up is the

barracks, hover near them and shoot at all the buildings. Once they've all taken

a certain percentage of damage they'll be considered inorperable and you can fly

on to the next target.

Fly towards the big bridge ahead, fire around the center to destroy the bridge

and throw the AA BMD into the depths below. As you approach the comms center it

is adivisable on anything above Easy mode to take out all the soldiers in the

compound. On Easy the only people that need to be taken out are the troops

directly by the bridge entrance and the troops ontop of the comms building. With

that done land on top of the comms building. If you took a while getting to

this point a Vodnik will drive up,so destroy it before entering the comms

centre. You can jump in through the skylight or take the stairs down on the side

of the building and blow open the side of the building. Take the stairs inside

the centre to reach the basement. On the left of the stairs you'll find the

second Gold pickup, on the right you'll find the objective. Shoot two grenade

shots at the computer systems here and run back up the stairs. Take the side

exit and head up the stairs to your helicopter. There will be another vodnik

here now,so repair your helicopter and then take out. As soon as you drop below

the comms centre the vodniks can't target you anymore. Head toward s the next

objective. There will be another AA BMD heading for the end of the main island,

so take him out and fly on (if you ignore him, he can shred your helicopter).

Before you reach the next obejctive you'll see a small island with ruins and two

enemy soldiers. Land here, kill the soldiers and pick up the third bar of Gold.

Get back in the helicopter and head to the next objective.

This section requires you to shoot the crap out of everything that moves,pretty

much. I won't specify when you need to repair, just do it as required as the

damage you take can vary depending on your accuracy against the AA BMD's. Swoop

forward and take out the first AA BMD and then destroy the three trucks driving

up the road. Head right and take out the AA BMD here. Now head back left

and then across the river. Take out another AA BMD before blitzing the base.

Destroy the trucks, the soldiers and the final AA BMD in the area. Two gunboats

will soon join the fray. Before taking them out, land near the large white

building that was near the final AA BMD you took out (make sure you land the

helicopter in cover, so the gunboats don't take it out while your away)

Collect the fourth Gold bar from the building. With the Gold collected

take off in the helicopter, destroy the gunboats. Be mindful of thier missile

barrages, they can be quite lethal.

The fuel gauge will start buzzing as your helicopter realises its low on fuel.

Head to the next objective marker as it appears and land at the base. You will

be ejected from your helicotper and told to get a fuel truck to the helicopter.

There are three choices, the easiest one being down the road. If Sweetwater

hasn't already, get on the kornet and take out the approaching Vodnik. Head down

the main road, taking out any targets present. As you approach the branching

road left, go into the large while building (looks like all the other Gold

storage buildings in the level) on the corner to collect the last piece of Gold

for the level. Get back onto the road and head all the way down and get the

truck back to the helicopter. This should be pretty easy if you elimiated

most of enemies along the road.

While Sweetwater figures out how to fix the helicopter, you have to fight off

the enemy forces. Use the stationary machine gun to gun them all down as they

appear. Haggard will take care of the ones on the far right, you take the one

coming up the road. After the first wave the second wave will come with a vodnik

Take this out with the kornet and then use the machine gun to mop up the last of

them. The final few come from Haggard's side, so lend him a hand. When they're

all dead three AA BMD's will approach and the mission to get back in the

helicotper will be given. Don't try and fight the AA BMDs, they're far too tough

Just get back in the helicopter and take off to end the mission.

5.6 MISSION 6: CRASH AND GRAB

================================================================================



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the house ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Head down to the village. Stay slightly to the right, there are fewer enemies

out in the more open areas. You'll see a building with fencing all around it

and explosive tanks inside (on the minimap it will show up as a building with

two pickups). Approach it and shoot the explosive tanks, to tear open the

fencing and the side of the house. This should give you an easy approach and

means you don't have to tackle too many of the enemy. Once inside a cutscene

plays. As the cutscene ends, pick up the M95 sniper rifle to collect it and grab

the rocket launcher as well. Quickly head for the boat behind the house and use

it to get to the opposite river bank. You have to be quick, otherwise on Normal

and Hard the Vodnik that arrives after the cutscene will keep bugging you as

you try to get across the river.





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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Communications ¦

¦ Centre ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 1



Get into the CAV and drive straight ahead in the same direction it was facing.

Ignore the first road you'll drive over, when you reach the second, start

following it around to the right (anti-clockwise) Two vodniks should drive past

and blitz your poor CAV. Luckily there's a checkpoint up ahead you can use to

get your CAV back afresh, otherwise, you're walking. There's a dirt road that

braches off left just as you get checkpointed. Take this road to reach a small

dead end base. The house at the back of the base has the first bar of Gold for

the level. Collect it and get back to the main road. Continue driving, head

around the roadblock and drive straight through the barrier at the comms centre.

Drive past the initial buildings and get to the bridge that leads to the roof of

the comms centre. Kill the guards here and steal their AK's. Use the skylight to

break into the comms building and make your wayto it's basement. A cutscene

plays.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Monastery ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 3



This bit can be quite hard. There's a lot of guards just outside the comms

building waiting to kill you. Head up ladder, shoot the explosive materials to

blow a hole in the wall and leg it to the higher ground. Once here, tear a

hole in the fence and then run back down along the fence to the back entrance to

the comms centre. There's two trucks parked up here and three enemies to kill.

Kill them and steal a truck. Don't go rushing for the objective marker just yet

though. Drive the truck straight off the edge of the cliff. That's right,

straight off! Use the brakes to provide a little more stability, but really

there's only a 20% chance that you'll survive with your truck. If you'r truck

lands upside down, get out and whatever you do don't get out while it's still

in motion as you'll probably run yourself over. If you die here, you go all

the way back inside the comms centre :( Anyway, your target is the only building

in the area with a pickup - you'll see it on your minimap. The building has a

handy M-16 and the second bar of Gold get both and then get moving (with

or without your truck) along the river, heading right. The obective markers at

this stage are only guides and you need not visit them directly to move the

mission on.

Keep following the river until you reach a crossing (it'll be shown as such on

the minimap and there will be rocks in the water to signify.Keep to the right of

the crossing and climb up on the other side. If your lucky you won't attract

any attention from the stationary gunner on the left. Up ahead you will now see

the Hydroplant. Kill the guard outside, steal the CAV and drive straight through

the Hydroplant. There's a good chance to Kornet mounted soldier will kill

you here, if he does, head around the hydroplant to avoid confrontation. Once

through there will be another river crossing, take it. Keep following the road

and you'll reach another parked up CAV. Get into it and drive left...ish.

There's groups of houses here with enemies inside. Head to the one furthest out

to collect the third piece of Gold.

Then drive straight up towards the obejctive marker. Driving up the big rocky

expanse should get you out of the tightest bits of the village, but unless your

lucky, you'll still have to deal with the T-90. Use the rocket launcher to take

him out and then continue driving up the winding road towards the monastery.

You'll come across a vodnik and a stationary gunner. When you reach the signpost

which says monsatery and you can see a bridge up ahead,turn right to head up the

blocked off road instead. Head up to the top of this path, avoiding or killing

the snipers and gunners. Look down from the top and you'll see lots of ruins in

between the winding road you just took. Head amongst the ruins to collect the

fourth piece of Gold. With that done, head up again and take the skinny bridge

to reach the monastery.





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

¦ ¦

¦ Get inside the Monastery ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



This bit can be quite taxing. One easy you can run from the bridge, through the

main entrance to the monastery, heal yourself, jump over the sandbags by the

stationary gunner,knife the soldier blocking your way and reach the inside where

upon a cutscene kicks in. On Hard and at times on normal its not quite that

straightforward. You can take out the necessary people here (like the

stationary gunner) and then try to barrel your way in, or you can take it slowly

and kill everyone in the courtyard. With the ability to take cover at the sides

of the entrance, this way isn't too hard, just time consuming. Once your inside

and the cutscene kicks in, the objective is complete.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Harbour ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : XM8 LMG

Gold: 1



Seems like an awful lot of harbours in this game :P First thing, head to the

top of the monastery's tower for another achievement and then head back to the

main entrance of the monstery.Collect the XM8LMG from the main courtyard (it

should be in the top right corner as your leaving).Just ouside of the entrance a

few enemy's are milling about. Kill them. Head left and as you reach the edge

of the monsastery head left again. Stay on the raised ground just by the

monastery walls and head around until you can see another set of ruins down

below. This one has a the ruins of a circular tower building among them.

Head down to it and collect the last piece of Gold for the level.From here,

use your rocket launcher to destroy the BMD tank waiting by the bridge. Then

run down the mountainside in the general direction of the objective marker.

When you finally reach the ground level you should be near another CAV. Steal

it and drive right past the ambushing BMD. There's a checkpoint just past

the BMD, so don't worry about taking a little damage. Drive past the Vodnik and

head to the hydroplant. On hard this bit can get a bit annoying with the

helicopter that's started to follow you. He's a bit random and can be a little

too evil. You can use the checkpoint at the hydroplant, keep repawning with

the CAV and gun him down if you want. He's quite hardy, but will die

eventually.Eitherway, leap off into the water and get into a boat. Now it's just

a matter of staying alive while driving as fast as possible to the final

objective marker at the harbour. Apart from the helicopter the only other real

danger here is the large gunboat. The best way to deal with him is drive

straight at him, so that he can't deliver an entire missile barrage into your

side, and then quickly turn. Once you pass the final bridge a cutscene kicks in

and it's mission done.

5.7 MISSION 7: GHOST TOWN

Soldier Drops: T194, GOL, AUG, 9A91

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Run up to the top of the hill. When enemy base comes into view, start blasting

away at the rooftop squatters. Go for the Stationary gunners first, then the

Kornet's then the sniper atop the tall thin building top. You have to

eliminate all enemies here, so with the rooftop dwellers dealt with, head down

and kill anything that moves. Normal soldiers will drop the AUG, a few will

have the T194 or the 9A91 and the sniper (the guy in the wooly overcoat atop the

tower) will have the GOL. Collect them all and then deal with the light tank

that appraoches. There's a rocket launcher just near your entry point into the

base which you can use to deal with the tank, or use or a Kornet. With that

trouble taken care of, make sure you have the rocket launcher by the end of it

and head to the red smoke.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Reach Sadiz ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: QJU88

Weapon Pickups : SPAS15

Gold: 2



Drive up the road to the next base. There's a lot of Kornet's here that will

probably shred your tank. Kill them. Directly on your left as you first approach

the base there are two building. Head through to the second one to retrieve your

first bar of Gold. Head back to the normal way into the base.After you walk past

the entry corridor of Kornet's head into the buildings on the right. One of

them has a soldier wielding a QJU88 and the other has a weapon pickup for SPAS15

If you've been following this guide to get the weapons, you should now have all

of them and if your on X360 you'll hear that warm fuzzy sound that tells you,

you've unlocked an achivement for it. The next bit can be handled in two ways.

One is to get the Black Eagle tank sitting at the top of the base and proceed

slowly, killing enemies. The other is to get into the Kobra or your CAV and

drive straight through. The latter is really the smarter option :) drive up the

road to the next objective marker. Three light tanks will head your way, keep

to the right of the road and drive straight past them. From here keep following

the edge of the Area of Operation. There will be a small wooden fenced base up

ahead (past a few heavy tanks), inside you'll find your second bar of Gold and

a replacement CAV. Follow the AOO past the dragons teeth (toblorone shapes)

straight to the next objective. The game will take over control here briefly and

then run a cutscene.

Turn around and climb the moutain round so that the town swings into view. We're

going to be avoiding confrontation again so get ready to run. Head down by the

fencing and stick to the left side of the town, right by the edge of the AOO.

There will be a few times when you go outside it, just make sure you get back

inside on time. Use your knife to chop at the fences in the way. When you reach

a small clearing head straight for the right bridge first. Ignore the tank, run

under the bridge and use the grenade launcher attachment on your rifle to take

it out. It only takes one shot. With that done, turn around and run for the

other bridge and shoot it with a grenade launcher shot as well. Now head across

to the other bank and start running to the left area, where your next obejctive

appears.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Vista Point ¦

¦ Create a Diversion ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 1



Head up the narrow passage. Use the rocket launcher to take out the stationary

guns before they see you and climb under the broken pipe. There's another piece

of Gold on the right side of the building that the enemy are stationed in, so

collect it before running to the red smoke. Run down into the town with Haggard,

head up the building with the objective marker to collect the laserdesignator.

Use it on the large building in the distance. If your playing X360, keep the

laser designator (you'll need it for another achievement) otherwise just switch

back to the rocket launcher. Jump off the building, heal yourself and run in the

opposite direction to the building you just blew up, being mindful of sudden

mercenary forces appearing.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Get to the Warehouse ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: 2



The second last building on the left, in the direction your running, has the

fourth bar of Gold on its roof.So go in, climb the ladder and collect the Gold.

From here take out the black eagle tank blocking your way out and then run

towards the next obejctive. As you approach the large skeletal buildings,

stay inside the ones on the right. There's one soldier in the first building,

kill him. And then one soldier and one light tank hiding by the side of the

second.Take them out on Hard, ignore them on anything else. Stick to the right

and collect the final piece of Gold sitting by the empty swimming pools.

That is the final piece of Gold, so that's another achievement right there. :)

Run to the CAV, climb in and watch the cutscene.



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

¦ ¦

¦ Take out the Legionnaire ¦

¦ ¦

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

Soldier Drops: -

Weapon Pickups : -

Gold: -



Head along the rail tracks, taking out mercs as you go.When you reach the AA gun

at the end, it will explode. Kill the mercs here and climb to the top of the

stairs. The Legionnaire's helicopter will be flying around trying to kill you.

The tactic to killing him is using the provided rocket launcher to shoot him.

He's got a fairly easy pattern, just wait for him to fly straight at the

platform firing missiles. When he's spent, he will hover for a moment - that's

your moment to rocket him. Then just survive until he repeats the move. If you

want the 'One in a Million' achievement to hit a helicopter with the laser

designator then take aim and try to time it so that your missile is falling

as he becomes stationary. It's no use targeting him when he is stationary, your

missile will just fly down as he starts to move.Either way he goes down in three

hits. :)



Well done you've killed the Legionnaire...well actually you haven't.

He does a Liquid Snake and somehow survives a helicopter crash unscathed.

Regardless that's GAME OVER THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!
