Walkthrough

1
The AI (computer-controlled teammates) are not reliable for combat; use them primarily to move between points and watch areas with few guards.
2
Do not fully depend on AI to cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) your back. A team larger than two people is often unnecessary due to AI limitations.
3
Since peeking was not a feature in the original engine, sidestep past doors while facing inward. Use the door frame as cover (a protective barrier). This is crucial because enemies shoot quickly, and you cannot trust the AI to react faster.
4
For hostage rescue missions, silenced weapons are mandatory. If you use un-silenced weapons, nearby tangos (enemies) will be alerted and may execute the hostages.
5
Frequently use the HB sensor and map to track terrorists. The 3rd person view (activated by pressing F1) can also be useful in specific areas.
6
Warning: Do NOT continue a campaign with wounded or dead operatives. It is considered amateurish. If an operative is wounded, it is recommended to restart the mission unless the mission is excessively frustrating AND you have a suitable replacement for the next mission.

Tips

The HQ plans are considered ineffective.
Trust your own aim and positioning over the AI's combat effectiveness.
The door frame is your best friend for entry points when peeking is not an option.
Silenced weapons are key for stealth and preventing hostage execution.
Constant use of the HB sensor and map is vital for tracking enemy movements.
