- Enemy Intelligence: 3
This mission begins underwater, after 20 seconds or so you will reach the target – an oil drilling platform. You will automatically let go of the underwater vehicle and climb to the surface, move forward beneath the guard andwhen prompted, press the button indicated on the screen to eliminate him. Climb up onto the platform.
Follow the stairs up until you find yourself in an indoor area. Kill the guard looking over the railing, then move to the pair of doors on the opposite side of the room. Pick either door, and interact with it to plant a breaching charge. This will trigger an explosion and a slow motion even that will let you enter the room and kill the hostage takers by surprise. There are seven enemies in this room, and when they are all dead, move back outside and climb up the next two set of stairs.
In the second room following the stairs, you will find Enemy Intelligence (1/3) sitting atop a tool shelf on the wall directly opposite the door leading outside. Pick it up and follow the squad outside, a enemy helicopter will appear, so take cover until it passes, then continue along the deck and around the corner to your right to find a second room that needs to be breached and cleared. Repeat the process as before. Unfortunately this time, you will attract the attention of guards.
Run to the back corner of the room and plant c4 on the body here then quickly follow Soap out of the room and to a safe vantage point. When asked to do so– blow up the explosive and kill any surviving guards on the deck below your position. Jump down and slowly make your way through the gate the hostile patrol just opened, cruise round the corner here and inside, you should see Enemy Intelligence (2/3) sitting on the shelf in front of you. Continue out the opposite door and up the nearby stairs.
At the top of the stairs head around the next corner and take cover as severalenemies will get dropped in via helicopter. After killing most of the enemies out on the deck here, a helicopter gunship will appear and start firing at you, quickly duck inside the open gate to the right and immediately take cover behind the fenced piping to your left. From here eliminate the remaining hostile soldiers in the room. Once the area is secure, pick up one of the RPGs from the floor near the north wall and using the doorframe, pop out and destroy the helicopter when you get the chance.
Return outside, and follow Soap around the deck, ignore the set of stairs here and continue further along and around yet another corner. With your squads help kill the large group of enemy units here before ducking into the room on the right and looking behind the yellow stairs for Enemy Intelligence (3/3). Return outside and follow your crew up the stairs.
On the top deck of the oil rig, you will have to make your way across the open area to another pair of doors that need to be breached and cleared. The bad guys aren’t going to make it easy for you though. They have several windows which they will use to fire down at you as well as having a large ground force keen to hunt you down. The best part? The deck is constantly shrouded in smoke from their smoke grenades, so before you go too far, look behind the shipping containers right at the top of the stairs to find an assortment of thermal weaponry.
You will need to move between cover very carefully and use the thermal sights to make sure the area is clear before moving on. Kill anyone who gets too close, and be sure to eliminate any window snipers or they will kill you in a hurry. Once you reach the doors, breach and clear as before, this time though be careful to be as accurate as possible as there are several explosive barrels around the room and one stray bullet will be enough to blow your squad, the hostages and the baddies to Kingdom Come, a pretty exciting way to finish the mission, but also a quick jump back to the previous checkpoint. Once the room is clear, exit via the back door and run over to the nearby helipad. Jump on the helicopter here to complete the mission.
