- Enemy Intelligence: 4
Welcome to Brazil! This mission sees our main man Roach starting in the passenger seat of a car. As it comes to a stop, an altercation will take place outside; quickly hit the crouch button to take cover behind the dashboard, when the shooting stops exit the car. Follow Soap around the building and down the street, he will run into an alleyway on the opposite side of the street. Sprint in afterwards, take a quick right followed by a left – you will see him infront of you making a break for it. Zoom in and shoot him in the legs.
After a quick scene you will regain control and are partnered with another chump named Royce. Follow him up the stairs and then at the top drop down into the area below through the hole in the wire fence. Immediately take cover behind the cars here as a large group of militia fighters will appear, some at ground level, some on the rooftops and will open fire. You will need to clear the area and slowly move through the various buildings here, I found it easiest to hug the left wall, entering the first building, then slowing down to focus on eliminating all the hostiles in the vicinity before moving on again. Continue along the wall until it forces you to turn right, then pop out andkill anyone nearby. Again make your way into one of the nearby buildings anduse it as cover to clear the immediate area. Continue move between buildings slowly and staying in cover until the entire area is clear.
To proceed onwards, you need to get to the back right of the area from where you entered, but before we head over there, backtrack to where we started and once more follow the left wall until you hit the corner again. This time continue towards the back wall until you cannot go any further hang a right and look for an orange building jutting into the alleyway. To the right of this there is a cream colored building. Enter the door here and look on the table for Enemy Intelligence (1/4).
Continue to the back right corner of the area and head up the stairs, a dog will bark at you from behind a fence on the left – so plug it if you wish and continue a little further. A group of militia will attack you from the roof of the building in front of you and another 3 or so will attack you from ground level. To bolster their numbers, you will also have to contend with a dog –if it jumps on you, press the melee button when the prompt appears on the screen to dispose of it. Head into the area they were occupying and you willsee a guy in a second story window telling you to go to his left. This is a trap, so go around the back of the green building in front of you and eliminate the hostiles who planned to ambush you.
This next area is quite tough, as you will be funnelled down narrow passageways in which you will need to be constantly watching out for enemies in windows and on the rooftops as well as keeping tabs on the ground forces in the area. On veteran, this is by far the most difficult part of the entire game and the cheapness of the random appearances of bad guys on rooftops and such can be incredibly frustrating, it is not impossible, but it will be quite time consuming.
Having said that, from the ambush, there are now a pair of stairs you can climb up, both lead to the same place, but both also have a militia soldier guarding them, so kill them both and mop up a third lurking nearby before continuing to the left. Continue down the alleyway and pop the guy in the window on the right. Head inside the open door on the right side and use the building as cover to take out the ground forces in close proximity. Sneak a peek outside and when possible find and eliminate those troublesome roof dwellers.
When the alley is clear continue on, but keep your aim on the window directly in front of you at ground level as a guy will open it and shoot at you. When you hit the window turn right and eliminate the guys on the roof in front of you, turn further to the right and kill anything else nearby. When clear, head back to the ground level window and look opposite to find a ladder, climb up and shoot the guy holding the door ajar and his companions inside. On the desk in front of you, you will find Enemy Intelligence (2/4).
Make your way to the back door of the hut and use it as cover to take out the sizeable militia presence in the immediate area. Once secure, exit the building and turn immediately to the left, you will see some wooden steps leading intoan open door, head in here and kill the group of militiamen, then enter the room next to the stairs and you will find Enemy Intelligence (3/4) on a crate near the bed. Exit and continue along the path until you reach a dirt path leading uphill.
As you start up the hill, look up to the tops of the buildings in front of you. Kill these guys here quickly as one has an RPG and is just itching to give you a bad day. Follow the left wall, up the stairs and into the building – use this area as cover to remove any hostiles from the roofs nearby before climbing the ladder, do a quick 180 degree turn and head into the construction work behind it. There is a gap between buildings in front of the ladder and a large group of militia firing at you from ground level from the other side. Take them out, being careful to scan the rooftops to the right. Make your way slowly to the other side of the gap, killing anything that shoots at you. When you reach the other side – three enemies will appear on the balcony at the end, run to the right and take cover behind the wall. Shoot the guy who pops out of the window in front, them use this corner to destroy the rest of the bad guys in front of you.
Follow the path round the u-turn then up the stairs and past the burning car killing all the baddies you come across, be sure to clear out each building as you reach it or you may get a surprise bullet in the back. Inside the building directly to the right of the burning car, you will find a set of stairs leading down in the room underneath you will find Enemy Intelligence (4/4). Head back to the main path and follow it to the end, head up the stairs to the left towatch a pretty cool scene to finish off the mission.
