CHINA
Exploration Items: 3
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Objective: Destroy the convoy as it crosses the bridge. ($30,000) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note: Once you can freely select your missions, you can retry this part of
the mission to earn easy $30000. Just blow the bridge, fight your way back
to the hovercraft until you reach the checkpoint; then quit the game and
start the mission again. Do this to reach $1000000 to unlock the
corresponding achievement as well as enough funds to grab heavier arsenal,
upgrade them and even pimp them up to increase aggro.
Take the stairs up. Once you reach the top of the hill, expect some light
resistance but don’t let your guard down. Use the tree trunks as cover.
There is around 5-6 guards here.
Trek the path down of the hill and equip your special weapon. Ignore the
very tranquil and overlooking view of the river and go to the edge of the
cliff to get a vantage point of the bridge. After the short scene,
immediately take aim of the bridge and shoot the gas pipe in the middle.
You can do this in solo or co-op snipe.
After watching the glorious explosion, a group of Chinese troops will
magically appear near your location and will confront you. Fight you way
back to the starting point and enter the hovercraft.
Just concentrate on maneuvering the hovercraft; your partner will take
care of the shooting. Just follow the river to reach the canal. Beware of
RPG troopers here as well. Activate your GPS when you are near the canal to
find where you can dock the craft. Just maneuver it to the green marker
and it will dock automatically.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Secondary Objective: Take down the Chinook Helicopter. ($10,000) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Secondary Objective: Kill the first heavily armored soldier. ($15,000) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Get off the craft and you can do some shopping. I suggest equipping/buying
the Stinger now if you have the cash. You will need it to complete a
sub-objective later on. Go upstairs; there will be some enemies already
waiting ahead. Find cover immediately. There are a lot of enemies here; not
to mention the potshooters hiding in good sniping positions ahead and
across the facility. You can also use the fuel tanks in the area to save
ammo and kill several guards in one blast. The heavily armed guard will
appear from the other side of the canal and will cross the bridge. Order
your ally to hold behind the concrete blocks and head upstairs to get a
good shooting position. You may also want to clear the opposite side by
using a grenade. Kill the heavy armored guard from that position. Beware of
enemy snipers too.
You should probably hear Alice bitching right now so head back to your
starting position near the stairs and examine the small building to find
the switch. Activate it.
Head downstairs and move the hovercraft inside the canal. Take the ladder
up and activate the control panel there.
A Chinook helicopter will appear on the other side of the canal, dropping
some reinforcements. If you have the Stinger, lock on the Chinook to take
it down. The stinger will do the job better than
the RPG since it has more ammo and has auto-lock. If you take down the Chinook quickly, you
will have lesser enemies to deal with.

| Across the bridge find a small building opposite to the first panel you |
| activated. It is near where the chinook dropped reinforcements. The |
| briefcase is located behind it. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After getting the briefcase, head to the other end of the area, go upstairs
and activate the final control panel to open the doors.
After you do that, another Chinook (no rewards if you take it down) will
drop reinforcements in the other side. Clear them.
Take the nearest stairs down and ride the hovercraft. Just follow the
river and dock in the wooden platform. Follow the walkway and step jump.
Wait for some enemies to appear before climbing up. After that, continue to
reach the end of the walkway and find an abandoned Chinese village.
There will be two guards here. If you have a sniper rifle, take out the guy
to the right since he has a RPG. You can go either straight ahead or right
around the village to clear the first wave of guards. I suggest ordering
your partner to aggressively clear the area ahead while you provide
covering fire.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Secondary Objective: Retrieve the satellite data from the laptop($15,000)|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After clearing the village, two more Chinook helicopters will appear. They
will be dropping reinforcements in both ends of the village. Order your
partner to regroup and find a good building to take cover. Guard the doors
since the enemies will always try to flank you from behind. Once you
thinned the enemy force a bit, go for the offensive and clear the enemies.
Some of them have even secured good positions so you may need to change
your positions to draw them out.
After clearing the second wave of enemies, the steel rolling door in the
far corner of the village will blow up, releasing another wave of enemies.
Clear them all and make sure to grab all the ammo bags you can get.

| Find a two-storey house in the other side of the stream. The chest is on|
| the second floor. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Enter the blown up door and examine to rolling door for the pair to lift
it and reach the next part of the area.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Objective: Use cargo train for extraction ($0) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can do some mid-mission shopping here so change your Stinger with an
ordinary sniper rifle. You’ll see the laptop over a crate so examine it for
an easy $15000. Lift another door to reach the next area. This next area
has a lot of enemies waiting so you may order your partner to move ahead
and take cover while you snipe enemies at a distance.
Just stay in cover and take out enemies slowly but surely. Avoid staying
close together or you won’t cover each other’s back. Well placed grenades
can take out those pesky enemies at hiding.
After clearing the area, head inside the building. You may enter through
the front door or to the side. Kill the initial enemies guarding the
floor. Now you’ll have two ways to go up; take the elevator or the stairs.
If you take the stairs, there is a turret above waiting to make minced
meat out of you. If you take the elevator, there will be soldiers with
shotguns waiting to make gore shake out of you. Either way you’ll be
walking into an ambush but I’d say take the elevator. Make sure to check
your GPS around to know the location of the proximity mine.
Kill the gunner for your partner to join you. Step jump to the nearest
elevation; don’t climb up yet. Wait for the enemies to appear then pull up
your partner.
The place will be swarming with enemies so take cover immediately and
avoid moving forward hastily. There is a heavy armored soldier among the
fray so take out the small fries first to stop them from getting on your
way. Beware of the proximity mine around as well. Continue upstairs
and continue killing the enemies. Once done, lift the rolling door to reach
the next area.
Once outside, take cover immediately and order your partner to aggressively
hold the position. You can then move around the dump to the right to flank
the enemies. There will also be a heavy armored target ahead. You can
actually take this guy with a direct stinger or RPG hit. You can also just
throw a grenade to knock him, turning his back then shower him with
bullets.
There will also be enemy reinforcements that will be dropped via chinook.
Eliminate all of them.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Head to the far corner of the area where there is a truck sitting. The |
| briefcase is in the back, beside the green cargo container. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Lift the door beside the staircase. You’ll be thrown back by the explosion
and a back-to-back sequence will trigger.
After the sequence, enter the factory and clear the enemies inside. There
is a lot of cover inside that you and your enemies can use. Order your
partner to stay behind the middle track while you take the upper levels.
This way you’ll have a better position and you’ll avoid getting flanked
from above. After killing the initial wave, more will come via helicopter.
Eliminate them and proceed to the control panel in the far end of the
factory.
More enemies will appear after using the control panel. Defeat them then
take the door in the other side of the factory. Activate your GPS to find
the last proximity mine and destroy. There will also be a last pair of
enemies waiting on the other end.
Just approach the large dumping machine and use the rods to open the
loading bay. Mission accomplished.
