Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as the mission starts, bring up the map (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)).
  2. 2
    Order Soldier 1 to move to the pier next to the escape plane.
  3. 3
    Order Soldier 2 to move to the entrance of the building just after the small bridge, to the right of it.
  4. 4
    Order Soldier 3 to move in front of the same building.
  5. 5
    Order Soldier 4 to move to the end of the small bridge, further from your starting point.
  6. 6
    Exit the map and switch to Soldier 2.
  7. 7
    When Soldier 2 is close to the building, have him go inside and near the machine gun. Take control of the machine gun.
  8. 8
    Switch to Soldier 3. Have him face West and lie down near the machine gun Soldier 2 is using.
  9. 9
    Switch to Soldier 4. Have him face West and lie down near the end of the small bridge, almost parallel with Soldier 3.
  10. 10
    Once all soldiers are in position, switch to Soldier 1.
  11. 11
    Grab a Bazooka from the crates and guns on the pier by the plane.
  12. 12
    Return to your squad's position. Kneel between Soldier 3 and Soldier 4 and wait for the enemy rush.
  13. 13
    The first tank will likely destroy itself.
  14. 14
    The second tank will come from the left, near the water. Aim slightly in front of it with the bazooka and press R twice to destroy it.
  15. 15
    The third and final tank will come down the middle towards the small bridge. Destroy it with the bazooka.
  16. 16
    After the tanks are destroyed, infantry will attack, but your men can handle them.
  17. 17
    As Soldier 1, run back to the escape plane and wait.
  18. 18
    Once the 'Objective 1 COMPLETE' message appears, bring up the map and order the other soldiers to move back next to the plane.
  19. 19
    When everyone is at the plane, tell them to follow you.
  20. 20
    Drop into the water and go under the canopy to the small glass bubble on the side of the plane.
  21. 21
    Use the bubble to get inside the plane.
  22. 22
    Once everyone is inside, the mission is over.
Tips
  • Accuracy with the bazooka is crucial.
  • Aim slightly in front of moving targets for the bazooka.
  • The first tank often destroys itself.
  • Your squad members can handle the infantry rush after the tanks are dealt with.
