Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Pyrrhic Victory

When the mission begins, you'll see a cutscene and you'll then get off of some truck. As you go forward, you will see a burning vehicle to your right; if you go to it, you can find your first Intel in the crater to the right of it. As you press forward more, you will be told to take out the mortar crews. There is one guy on the right mortar, and 3 around the left ones.

Your next objective is to call in air support, which will put you in the viewpoint of the bomber. One button fires the machine, while the other fires missiles. You will want to just keep firing missiles, especially at the tanks, which are your primary targets. Once you eliminate all four of them (or the strafing run is finished), you're back in view of Mason and some jeeps arrive with machine gunners. Kill the two gunners to continue on with the mission.

There will be another strafing run with the plane, with four tanks at first, then another run with 5 of them. Once that portion is over, you need to get close to the truck you were on at the beginning, and you'll automatically climb the ladder on the side. You'll ride to the end of this area, where you'll get on a helicopter.

RESCUING WOODS

At the start of this area, you're on a helicopter that is eventually shot down. Before you go down with it, you jump on a barge, which is where you will gain control. There are some men on the barge you need to kill, so use the boxes as cover and take them all out. Once they're finished, climb on the ladder on the left side and grab the Intel on the ground in the corner.

Machine-mounted boats will be your next targets, so go down to the bottom area of the barge and man the machine gun. Fire at the boat there until it blows up, and keep sinking the ones that come afterwards. There's another mounted gun on the other side, but it's up the ladder, although none of the gunboats really come from this side, so stick to the first one.

Go down to the crate and hold the button to open it up, where you'll find a lot of dead bodies and a badly injured Woods. As you're inside, a Hind will attack you, so pick up the Valkyrie nearby and fire a rocket at the Hind; note that you have to steer the rocket. Once you hit it the first time, the barge will run ashore and Woods will end up in the water. You jump in after him, so look down and swim towards him to automatically grab him, then swim to the shore.

ESCAPING

Once you're on shore, make your way to the village, only to find it occupied by Cubans. Once you get control again, crouch when you're told to, stopping, then make a run to the wooden hut. Do this again inside of the hut, then when you get to the tall grass outside, crouch and move slowly through the grass until you come to a rock, where you will need to stop.

You'll now be on your own, so go along the path until you come to a small shack. There's an AK-47 here, as well as a Dragonuv, and you can pick the lock to find some animal traps inside. There's an ammo supply that you can use to refill it next to the shack, so feel free to lay some traps down, which you can arm with mortars if you want. Once you're done, head up the path and go inside the building.

A cinematic will take place when you go inside the building, which results in you running away. Go back down the path you used to get here, and follow Hudson. Keep following him until he lays Woods down behind a rock, which is your first defend point. You can use the platforms in the trees as sniping points, otherwise, just keep picking off as many men as you can.

Once he throws a smoke grenade and says to move, do so and follow him to the second defend point.  Note that the third Intel for this mission is located at this second defend point; it is on the platform in the rightmost tree, of which there are three in the area. Keep picking off the men coming towards you until you have to move again.

At the third defend area, a truck with a mounted gun will appear at the top of the cliff, so shoot the gunner, which will make the truck explode. Another will appear on the left side, so take that out, too. After that, it's just a matter of killing the men as they come near you. When Hudson stops and Woods is on the ground, get close to them and you'll help them up and to the end, which will trigger the end of the mission.
