Complete Call of Duty 3 Return To Sender mission walkthrough, including intel locations and tips for the helicopter gunner sequence.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the Humvee and move onto the dock to the left. Find a sniper rifle in a shipping crate on the left side of the dock.
  2. 2
    Take control of the gun on the friendly helicopter. The gun does not overheat or run out of ammo. Prioritize eliminating mortars on the roofs. Enemy soldiers will spawn continuously.
  3. 3
    Proceed down the left side through the docks and then through a broken-down ship. Climb the next ladder.
  4. 4
    Throw a stun grenade (an explosive device used to temporarily incapacitate enemies) into the building and eliminate the two men on the ground floor. Ascend the stairs and defeat the approximately five men on that level.
  5. 5
    Intel 1/3: The intel is located on the second floor of the building on the left side, directly next to the beached and rusted ship.
  6. 6
    Remain in this building and call in another strafing run, ensuring the two machine gun nests in the building across are destroyed.
  7. 7
    Exit onto the balcony and eliminate the men below. Once the area is clear, move down into the main complex.
  8. 8
    Clear the first floor, which is empty. On the second floor, use the grenade launcher (a weapon that fires explosive projectiles) to quickly eliminate the few enemies present. Stack up on the door and breach it. Move from right to left, ensuring you do not kill the man with the objective marker (a visual indicator showing a target or objective).
  9. 9
    Intel 2/3: The intel is in the room where you kill Waraabe, situated on a table on the back left corner.
  10. 10
    Exit through the back door and follow your team down the road. You will be ambushed at the first LZ (Landing Zone). Find cover (a position that shields you from enemy fire).
  11. 11
    Once the area is cleared, a timer will begin, lasting three minutes on normal difficulty.
  12. 12
    Continue down the road, being cautious of a truck with a mounted machine gun.
  13. 13
    Proceed further down the road and make a turn at the end.
  14. 14
    Be aware of an explosive car that the enemy will roll down a hill.
  15. 15
    Engage the enemies positioned in the building directly ahead. Prioritize the enemies on the second floor, then move to the ground floor.
  16. 16
    Intel 3/3: The final piece of intel is found after enemy soldiers push a flaming car down a hill towards you. The intel is in a small building on the right, just before reaching the construction site.
  17. 17
    Navigate around the main building and enter the construction site. Clear the first floor of enemies, then proceed to the top. Enemies are only present on the first and second floors.
  18. 18
    On the roof, take control of the chopper gunner (a position in a helicopter equipped with a mounted weapon) and eliminate targets around the base of the building.
  19. 19
    When you are removed from the chopper gunner position, quickly turn to the roof and jump off the building.
  20. 20
    Follow Price through the streets, encountering a large group of enemies. A single grenade launcher shot can eliminate most of them.
  21. 21
    Finish off any remaining survivors and proceed further down the roads. Use a grenade launcher to clear the next group of enemies.
  22. 22
    Enter the crash site and pick up Nikolai. Follow your team to the extraction point to end the mission.
Tips
  • Utilize the sniper rifle found on the dock for early engagements.
  • When controlling the helicopter gunner, focus on high-priority targets like mortars and machine gun nests first.
  • Use stun grenades effectively to disorient enemies before entering buildings.
  • Take advantage of the grenade launcher for clearing groups of enemies efficiently.
  • Always seek cover during ambushes to minimize damage.
