Mission 4: Naszran Foundry [SCd4]
--------------------------
Eleven secondary objectives. Three needed for Normal. Five needed for Hard.
You'll start on a bridge overlooking a small street, if you can call it that.
You start with the G36C, an impressive weapon which I reccomend you keep for
the entire level. It has a great range and impressive accuracy. From the
bridge, pick off as many enemies as you can on the street below. Then head down
the stairs on your right, taking out anyone who approaches you. In the street
below, use the cover given to you, and also make sure that you keep an eye out
for destructable objects. As you continue down the road, a Shotgun Man will be
wandering around among the enemies you're killing. You probably won't notice
him unless he actually shoots you. Aim for the head, since he has no trouble
coming right up to you and shoving a bullet in your stomach. You should replace
your second weapon with the shotgun.
When you come to a fork in the path, explore the nearby building to find a
Blackmail objective. Then continue up the right path and take out the enemies
waiting for you. Once you reach two bridges, use them to take out the enemies
waiting below. Since the collision detection is so good, you'll have to make
sure you aim correctly. Even an inch too far off and you'll hit the railings.
Once all enemies are done with, continue forwards, into the house at the end of
the bridge. In the far right corner is the Recon objective. Drop through the
hole in the floor and back onto the street.
Continue down the road until you see a bridge with a guy on it and some guys
patrolling the area below. When you're close enough take them out, but don't go
into the are until you've taken them all out. You now have to navigate through
a minefield. The mines can do a lot of damage if you hit them, so watch out.
The good news is that you can detonate them with your weapons and also force
enemies to step on them. Note that some will cause chain reactions so don't
stand in the path of them. Blow open the door of the first hut on your right to
find a suppressor for the G36C. Shoot your way through the minefield. Some
enemies will be near some of the large gas tanks, which you can make explode
with a few bullets. It should be common sense how to get past this. Detonate
any mines you see on the ground, and just proceed forwards. Once you get to the
last hut there's an Intel objective inside.
Go through the gate into minefield part 2. There's a guy on the bridge above
you, and a few more to the left in a small area off the main minefield.
Continue forward after picking up all ammo. You'll emerge into a small clearing
with a little trench running through the middle. There's some people on the
bridge ahead of you, some more on the floor with you, and to top it off,
there's an RPG bloke in the tower on the bridge. To kill two birds with one
stone, take out the truck on the bridge. It will kill anyone on the bridge and
take out the tower. Then deal with the guys on the floor with you. Once it's
all done, enter the tunnel system.
Keep going straight until you come across a bloke walking away from you.
Headshot him from behind. You should keep the suppressor on. You'll get a
checkpoint here and then a Shotgun Man will come along. Should be no trouble
for you since you're alone and there's no other enemies to deal with.
You'll soon emerge into a small alleyway with two dudes waiting for you. Take
out one and the other SHOULD simply drop like a stone since McCarver's helping
you with her sniper rifle from one of the chimneys. As you continue through the
alleyway, three more enemies will appear, followed by two more and one on the
roof/bridge. There's a small firefight now, right outside the warehouse. It's
dead easy to complete. Plenty of cover and plenty of first aid kits. And lots
to blow up.
Enter the warehouse. Now ensues a stupidly long and frustrating firefight. You
will really get annoyed at the ammount of ammo it takes to kill one enemy. It's
too much and sometimes takes the fun out of the game, especially when you're
low on health. I have a few tips for you, but apart from that, you're on your
own. There's no exact way to do a fight like this.
Firstly, make sure you destroy anything which will explode, automatically
taking out anyone standing near it.
Secondly, pay attention to the direction of where you're being attacked from.
Thirdly, ensure you take out any Shotgun Men first, and the machine gun bloke
at the end of the fight, before anyone else.
Fourthly, and most importantly, don't aim anywhere apart from the head.
Once every single enemy is down, including all Shotgun Men and the machine gun
bloke, explore the shed at the very right of the warehouse to find the hidden
Magnum and some ammo. Swap it for your shotgun. It's a one-hit-kill weapon, has
a great range, and one of the coolest reload animations. There's also a BM in
the shed.
Back in the warehouse, climb the stairs in the far left corner. Grab the intel
on the left wall at the top of the stairs, and then continue out of the door on
the left. Walk up the platform circling the gas tank. Some enemies will shoot
you up here, but they're easy to take out. At the very top of this tank is some
more Magnum ammo. Use the stairs to get to the next gas tank, and take out the
two guards. Circle down this one and you'll emerge into an alleyway. A small
firefight will ensue here. Use the boxes as cover and use your Magnum since
it's medium range fighting. McCarver will help you further down the alleyway in
a little clearing. There's a Shotgun Man again amongst the enemies. McCarver
will deal with him.
Follow the path. You'll notice a ramp down to your right. Go down it and round
the right to find some more Magnum ammo. Back to the main path, head over the
short bridge and round the corner. Two guys will attack you. Again, put the
Magnum to good use here. Continue forward and pick up the RPG. There's an RPG
man on the enormous gas tank you were on previously. Use the RPG on it to see
one of the most over the top and spectacular explosions ever. Then for the fun
of it, take out the other one. Pick up your weapon again and continue straight.
There's an intel under the stairs here, so make sure you get it.
Enter the weapons factory. You have to destroy all weapon making machines. They
take some time to destroy. One is on the ground floor, the other three are at
the top. Since it's a cramped area taking out the enemies may be a problem, but
there's plenty of cover for you. As you go up the stairs to the rest of the
machines, pick up the Intel on the wall. There's three or four dudes here, and
also there's two across the gap in an opposite room. Take them out and then
shoot the laptop near them. You can't actually go into the room, so don't try.
Destroy all the weapons manufacturing machines, and then head back downstairs.
A few more enemies will have appeared, this time carrying P90s. The P90 isn't
as good as the G36C for this part of the mission. It does a lot more damage and
can hold a lot more ammo, but is a lot less accurate. I would keep the G36C. Go
back into the room from which you entered the weapons manufacturing area. On
the other side of the room a door will have opened up into the smelter aread.
Step into the area to get the new objective. You have to destroy all the
smelters. Take out every enemy you can see from the doorway with the G36C,
suppressor attached. Then comes the final big firefight of the level.
Enter the room blasting away anyone who comes near you. Shotgun Men may be
floating around the area, so remember to concentrate on them rather than other
enemies. Use the stairs and railings as cover, and keep an eye out for enemies
which appear behind you. The firefight will leave you running low on health
constantly, so now's the time to use the health packs if you have them. Once
all enemies are dealt with, go right to the back of the area to the room which
is guarded by two blokes. Inside is the final BM. Back into the smelter area,
go up the ramp to your right and pick up the final Intel on the wall. Now all
you have to do is shoot the red tank on the side of every smelting machine.
Don't forget to stand back, especially since one of them is difficult to hit
from far off. Once they're all done you'll have to deal with another small wave
of enemies before heading back out of the area to end the mission.
