Motorcade Assault

Overview: A European terrorist organization has come to prominence resulting in a distinct spike in terrorist activity throughout this region.
Objectives: Take out the motorcade. Assassinate the terrorist leader. Locate the missing ground team.
Time: 02:18 HOURS
Location: Eastern district outside Venice, Italy.
Organization: German GSG-9

The motorcade moves slowly under your position. You automatically move out, with LAW rocket launcher in hand, to a position overlooking the courtyard below.

Objective: Upon commander’s signal, take out the lead car in convoy with LAW.

Wait for the commander’s signal before opening fire on the motorcade’s lead vehicle.

The motorcade arrives moving left to right. Don’t fire until the commander gives the signal; he doesn’t give the signal until the motorcade comes to a stop. Once it does, destroy the lead car.

Objective: Suppress resistance.

You automatically switch weapons. Enemies appear all around the motorcade. Also watch out for a sniper perched in a window in one of the buildings across the courtyard. Eliminate the enemies as quickly as possible. Use short-controlled bursts for maximum accuracy. After clearing the courtyard, turn to the left and face the door. It soon opens revealing a couple more adversaries.

Objective: Locate and eliminate the VIP.

Move out through the hallway ahead (grab the ammo off the crate on the right). Move around the corner to the right and beware of enemies on the right side as well as snipers up high both to the left and right. Take cover where your ally waits. Move through the open door at the top of the stairs.

There are two enemies here: one up the staircase to the left and another behind the crates near the medkit. Eliminate them both then grab the HE grenades off the crate then use the medkit as necessary. Proceed up the staircase. At the top, finish off two guards then snag some ammo from the right side.

Cross this wooden plank to reach an adjacent balcony.

At the balcony, shoot an enemy across from you then use the wooden plank to traverse to the adjacent balcony. Walk to the switch and use it. Turn right and face the courtyard from this balcony.

Objective: Provide cover for the ground team.

Drop down to the crates on the right then move through the open gate ahead. Finish off two guards then work your way down to the door. Use the medkit and pick up the ammo. The door opens shortly. Eliminate the guards outside. Beware of the sniper ahead and another guard hiding behind a window to the right. Move through the open passage to the right ahead. Go up the stairs and take aim on additional guards, including a sniper in a tall building to your left.

The next path lies behind this locked gate. Bypass the gate by coming in from above.

You can hop out onto the ledge that extends out from the balcony. Follow it to the right and around to the far side. Drop behind a locked gate to reach the medkit and shotgun below. Start down the staircase. Take out the guards waiting around the corner to the right. Move down (snag some ammo on the crates to the left) and enter the tunnel. More enemies await; take cover behind the corner. As you move down the tunnel, watch out for an enemy on your left. There’s also a medkit in here.

Continue down the sewer tunnels. Move cautiously around each corner, as the enemies are plentiful down here. Go up the ladder at the end. The manhole cover moves providing access to the street; the stalled motorcade is just ahead. Search an alcove on the right for two enemies, ammo, armor, and a health pack.

Move past the motorcade and spot the VIP (in red) scampering to the right. Take out the sniper then follow the VIP through the short tunnel and to the right. Enemies heavily populate the next opening to the left. Look carefully and you can spot the VIP in a window across the water. Don’t waste ammo on him. Instead, target the hostiles scattered around the area. Use the pillars as cover though it’s most effective to stay far to the left and cautiously strafe into view. If you need health, ammo, and want a sniper rifle, scurry to the far right side to find these items in a small crate-packed alcove. As you move toward the alcove, turn around as additional guards appear and pursue you.

The VIP hides behind bulletproof glass…cracked bulletproof glass.

As you approach the bridge, it’s destroyed. Take an alternate route by jumping across the gondolas. If you fall in the water, return to the far right side (facing it) of the walkway to find stairs. You’ll also need to watch behind you as there are additional snipers on the balcony and windows above.

Objective: Eliminate the VIP behind bulletproof glass.

The VIP is behind bulletproof glass—but lucky for you that glass has a hole in it. Grab one of the HE grenades off of the crate on the left side and toss it inside the hole. You can miss and just grab another grenade. If you need additional health, grab some off of the crates near the window. And back away from the grenade if you miss; the explosion radius is pretty big and can certainly kill you if you’ve been wounded.

Objective: Get to the extraction point.

Turn left from the glass and move along the path past the gondolas to find more enemies trying to block your progress. Watch out for a sniper maintaining his post in a high window above. Move through the corridor until you reach the next open courtyard. The extraction point lies on the boat to the right. Eliminate the opposition in this area (snipers across and behind you) to complete the mission successfully.
