||1. INTRO||
|+--------+|
+----------+

Take a seat, ladies and gentlemen.

Most of you have helped in the fight against terrorism since the days that John 
Brightling tried to kill the human race in the name of "nature." You've been 
there to save innocents from the warped ideals of their kidnappers who most 
definitely would have sent them to an early grave. You've been very brave over 
the years, and though we have saved the world multiple times, you're needed 
again.

You rookies are most welcome too, even though Rainbow has been put under a new 
director. Several of the veterans are unhappy the way this so-called UBI Soft 
has handled things, but all in all, every one of you is commended for sticking 
through the problems and staying with us. Your respective countries thank you.

Intel suggests that we will be putting you into 15 dangerous missions. These 
are life-and-death, and not necessarily just yours. I will be your guide, and 
with my help, I will make sure to guide you all to victory. You may all thank 
Brad (bb-bjd@mindspring.com) for convincing me to take the assignment.

Remember: no hostage is allowed to die under our watch, or we have failed. We 
must remain strong and fight our enemies together. We must plan our assaults 
down to the smallest detail, for only our weaponry and our intelligence give us 
the edge.

If you want to see the actual plans I used, head to my website, which is at the 
following URL:

http://www.geocities.com/pyrofalkon/

Good luck; that is all. Dismissed.



+-----------------+
|+---------------+|
||2. GUIDE BASICS||
|+---------------+|
+-----------------+

For simplicity's sake, I've divided every mission into specific parts. It's 
designed so that if you only want the merest of hints, you can get them without 
spoiling anymore. On the other hand, if you want step-by-step instructions, I 
have those too.

Please note that, in theory, there are infinite ways to go about a mission. The 
method I provide is only one way, and it HAS worked for me. Please do not e-
mail me saying that a given strategy is always failing; it could be that you're 
not playing it the way I am, you're unlucky, or your style is different than 
mine.

That said, if you can improve a strategy (notice I said "improve," not 
"overhaul"), feel free to write me. I will at least consider the contribution, 
and I'll either replace or amend my given strategy, giving you all due credit. 
I will not accept completely new strategies, simply because I don't feel like 
posting 100 ways to do every mission.

One final note: I use the latest version of Rainbow Six 3, which at the time of 
this writing is v1.41. That's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Silenced weapons got a 
massive damage boost recently, and in a couple of my missions, I milk that for 
all it's worth. If for some reason you can't get a hold of v1.41, the 
strategies might still work, but I won't guarantee some of them.

Oh, all plans I give here can be found on my website...

http://www.geocities.com/pyrofalkon/

You can download them and put them in the appropriate folders if you desire. I 
give more specific instructions on my site.

Okay, here's how every mission will be shown to you...

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Some people won't give a crap about the story, but I'll provide it here anyway 
for those who are interested. Basically I'll just summarize John Clark's and 
Kevin Sweeny's comments, possibly throwing in a few of my own.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

I'll give the difficulty of the mission here, along with general information 
about what to expect from the enemy and whether hostages or any other extra 
circumstance is a factor. I'll also talk briefly about the building layout.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Here I'll list the general way the teams go about getting business done. I 
won't mention waypoints or go-codes, just a quick sentence or two about how to 
get things accomplished.

+-----------+
|Agent Setup|
+-----------+

I'll list every agent I use in the mission and how they're divided up among the 
teams.

+---------+
|Equipment|
+---------+

I'll give you weapon and equipment settings here, as well as armor level. 
Please note that I will never specify a uniform color. As far as I'm able to 
tell, color doesn't matter anyway, so I just use black normally and switch 
every few missions just for kicks.

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

This is the meat of every mission. I'll always start with the team that is 
player-controlled, and I'll work my way from there. I'll give go-codes and 
waypoints here, but I won't chart EVERY waypoint out... I can't do that very 
effectively with a TXT document, which is why I recommend you download my plans 
from my website.



+----------+
|+--------+|
||3. NOTES||
|+--------+|
+----------+

You can't effectively use my plans if you don't know how I play the game, so 
let me list some notes here for you. This part almost goes hand-in-hand with my 
General Planning Strategies FAQ for this game, which should be available on the 
same site where you're viewing this document.

+-----------+
|Team Colors|
+-----------+

Red team is always the team with the hardest objectives. Gold team is a sniper 
team if I need a sniper team. Green is a hybrid, changing depending on the 
mission.

I almost always play as the Gold team; I always play as them if they're a 
sniper team. I simply do not trust the computer to snipe effectively. Besides, 
I've never been an aggressive player in FPS games, so I'm far less hands-on 
than the Red team will be.

Now, if you're a big hands-on kind of player, you may be wanting to take on the 
role of Red. Be advised though that in many circumstances, I use the SATS 
(explained below), and the computer CANNOT pull it off. My plans, both in text 
form and on my site, take SATS into account, so if a team uses SATS, then I 
have to play as that team.

While we're talking about it...

+----+
|SATS|
+----+

SATS is short for Smoke-And-Thermal Strategy.

Here's the thing about the Thermal Scope, an attachment to every Sniper Rifle: 
it senses heat signatures. Now, the smoke grenades do NOT give off heat. An 
EXTREMELY effective strategy is to smoke an area, then set up a sniper to turn 
on their Thermal Scope. They will see the enemy, but the enemy will not see 
them. Boom. In several missions, I live and die by this strategy.

Now, there's two problems with it. One, auto-aim usually stops working when you 
SATS. This is mostly because auto-aim is for what your agent can "see," and 
even your agent can't see through smoke. Now, if you don't play with auto-aim 
anyway, then it doesn't matter and won't affect you. But if you do use auto-aim 
usually, be ready to manually target tangos.

The second problem, as I mentioned before, is that computer-controlled teams 
CANNOT pull off a SATS. They will smoke an area and set up to snipe, but they 
will not be intelligent enough to turn on the Thermal Scope. CPU-controlled 
teams USUALLY see tangos before they see them when the smoke starts to clear, 
but it's too high of a risk.

Also, the computer does not pause to give the smoke time to saturate. They'll 
throw the grenade and immediately head to the next waypoint, even if the 
grenade is still airborne or not even triggered yet.

Therefore, I stress that if you incorporate SATS into your plans (whether 
you're using mine or not), you MUST be the SATS team. Otherwise, the team will 
get shot up before anything happens.

Now, just for simplicity's sake, I'll mention SATS throughout the document. So, 
if you see this...

"SATS-crouch the hallway."

That means, throw a smoke grenade in the hallway, wait for it to saturate, run 
into the middle of it, take a crouched stance, snipe, and turn on your T-Scope. 
I specify the stance because it usually does matter.

+-----------+
|Depth Chart|
+-----------+

I'm big on sports games too, so I've made a depth chart for agents in Rainbow 
Six.

Basically, it goes like this... When I need a team, I look at the leadership 
ratings of all agents in a given specialty. I pick my leaders based entirely on 
that leadership rating. Then I give them the best people in the next rating 
category they need.

For example, let's say I need two assault teams, Red and Green. First I'll need 
to get leaders. I'll look through the assault list... the two who have the 
highest leadership stat are Chavez and Novikov in that order. So, Chavez is the 
team leader of Red, and Novikov is the team leader of Green. Then I look at the 
assault ratings of who's left... the next three assault after Chavez (since 
he's already there) are Arnavisca, Bogart, and Raymond in that order. That 
makes up team Red. The next three are Walther, Price, and Rakuzanka. That makes 
up team Green.

If, say, Arnavisca is dead, then team Red will be Bogart, Raymond, and Walther. 
Team Green would be Price, Rakuzanka, and Loiselle. Etc.

When I have a sniper team, if the sniper is the leader, I use Kure. Her cover 
will be whoever has the highest assault rating once Red and Green are filled. 
If the sniper is not the leader of the sniper team, then I'll use Johnston. And 
again, if either of those two are dead or wounded, I'll go to the next one in 
the list.

The only exception is single-agent teams, which I believe I use only in a 
couple specific missions. When you use single-agent teams, the leadership stat 
is completely pointless. So, if I need a single-agent team for assault, I'll 
just go with whoever is the highest in the assault rating after the other teams 
are filled.

Here I'll list my whole depth chart. Notice there's nothing about electronics 
specialists, nor demo leaders. I never found a use for teams of demo guys only, 
and I haven't found a use for electronics specialists at all. If there was a 
tie, I usually prioritize the agent with higher observation.

By the way, this is based on the agents' natural numbers. Remember that their 
ratings improve during the campaign, so I change it on the fly as I need to.

Also notice that I don't list *every* agent in every category. That'd be a 
waste of both our times. If so many people are lost that I have to dig down to 
the bottom of the barrel, then I just manually check the numbers of the 
remaining agents.

+--------------------+
|3a. In-Mission Saves|
+--------------------+

I'm going to say this sentence in five different ways. This is what FAQ Authors 
call "idiot control." Here we go...

There are no in-mission saves.
You cannot save in-mission.
In-mission saves do not exist.
There is no button to perform an in-mission save.
UBI Soft did not put in-mission saves into Rainbow Six 3.

...Was that enough? Here's a bonus one...

In-mission saves are not part of Rainbow Six 3.

...Okay. If I get any e-mails about this, I'm going to block you and call you 
an idiot. Please don't make me do that.

(Note: I don't care if there's some sort of cheat or trainer out there that 
lets you do it. Please don't write to me about ANYTHING regarding in-mission 
saves.)

||4. MISSION 1||
|+------------+|
+--------------+

Operation: Stolen Flame
November 30, 2005 @ 2300
Amuay, Venezuela

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Terrorists have occupied an oil refinery in Amuay. They're demanding that Peja 
Sicic, a high-ranking official for the Axis powers in WWII, not be deported. If 
he is deported, they threaten to blow up the refinery.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The building is composed of only two floors, and your enemies are fairly weak. 
No one has body armor and their weapons are low caliber. This mission should be 
a cinch, even if you're starting the game for the first time.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold clears the whole outside. Then Red and Green hit the top floors while Gold 
clears out the lower floor from east to west. The final room will be on the top 
floor which Green and Red will hit together.

+-----------+
|Agent Setup|
+-----------+

RED:
Chavez, Ding
Arnavisca, Santiago
Beckenbauer, Lars

GREEN:
Novikov, Arkadi
Bogart, Daniel
Morris, Gerald

GOLD (Player Team):
Walther, Jorg
Raymond, Renee

+---------+
|Equipment|
+---------+

RED & GREEN:
Light armor
M12, JHP
AP Army
Flashbang (assaulters)/Breeching charge (demo guys)
None (assaulters)/Demo kit (demo guys)

GOLD:
Light armor
L85A1
AP Army
None

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

GREEN:
Start in the eastern insertion zone and wait for Alpha.

RED:
Start in the western insertion zone. Walk far enough so that you can turn left 
and look down the alleyway. Wait for Alpha.

GOLD:
Gold starts in the eastern insertion zone. Creep around left and look up at the 
catwalk; there will be a tango there (if he doesn't appear at first, wait 
around because he will be there). Once he's down, continue on slowly and creep 
to the left. Go down the short flight of stairs to the railroad tracks, and 
immediately turn to your right. There's usually a tango at the end of the 
tracks, but you'll need your scope to see him. Once he's down, continue going 
straight from the stairs (that's left around the tanker car). Keep sidestepping 
left until you're against the concrete wall. Head toward the stairs you see in 
the distance, but keep your crosshairs up a bit because there will be a tango 
on the catwalk above you. Once you pass by the oil barrel, keep your gun 
trained up at the far catwalk. Then wait for Alpha. On Alpha, go forward, hang 
a left around the tanker cars, then go right up the stairs. Open the first door 
on your right, go into the building, and follow the hallway around to the final 
door on the left. Wait for Bravo.

GREEN:
On Alpha, blitz around the corner to the ladder. Run across the catwalk, open 
the door, and bang the hallway. Once it goes off, turn right and enter the 
hallway. Follow it around and wait for Bravo by the next door. On Bravo, enter 
the room and go across the catwalk at normal speed. Open the first door you see 
on the left and bang the room and then clear it. Then go back the way you came 
until you're at the door that leads outside. In front of you is the door to the 
control room. Set a breech here and wait for Charlie.

GOLD:
On Bravo, count about 6 seconds, then enter the room and just go straight. This 
gives Green time to clear out the enemies above you, so you will only have to 
worry about the enemies on your level. Once you go as far as you can, turn left 
then right as far as you can (go around the crates). Enter that door and follow 
the hallway as it goes to the left. Keep aiming to the left because there will 
be a tango half-hidden by a fence. Take him out, then take the first door on 
your left. Clear this room out (Red has already taken out the enemies above 
you). Head back into the room you just came from, turn left twice, and wait by 
this door for Red's milestone 1. If it's already come, enter this room, move so 
your left shoulder is always against a wall, and clear it as you walk through. 
Now exit the room and go back to the tanker cars. Climb the stairs and ladder 
to get to the catwalk above the tanker cars. Stop halfway across the catwalk 
and aim at the door. Gold is done.

RED:
On Alpha, go straight and take the first set of stairs that you see. Keep going 
straight and turn right as late as you can (this is so they can clear the open 
area). Turn right and go to the same door that Gold enters from. Enter that, 
follow the hallway, and take the first door on the left. As soon as you're in 
that room, turn left and go up the stairs. Crouch and move forward (the crouch 
is to avoid being shot through the glass). Enter the door at the end of the 
room and clear it. Turn left and enter the eastern door in this room. That 
leads to a small room that usually doesn't have anybody in it. Go through it 
and into the next room and again crouch as you move. As you pass halfway 
through this room, call milestone 1. Now continue through the rooms and 
catwalks, heading back toward the control room where Green should already be 
ready to enter. Set a breech on the western door and wait for Charlie.

RED & GREEN:
On Charlie, both enter the room from their respective doors and clear the room 
(Gold does not participate because it's too risky to send 8 guys in all firing, 
but they cover their door in case someone comes out of there).

||5. MISSION 2||
|+------------+|
+--------------+

Operation: Cold Dagger
December 2, 2005 @ 1600
Jura Canton, Switzerland

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Hostages have been taken within the city of Jura Canton. The hostages are IMF 
delegates, who were just on a ski trip and were in the wrong place at the wrong 
time.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The terrorists are just about as unorganized as what you dealt with in the 
first mission, but now they have two hostages. You'll be dealing with several 
buildings, all of which have multiple stories. All the buildings overlook 
streets, making crossfire a real threat.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Red does all the work; Green simply provides cover for Red's and the hostages' 
escape. Gold does not participate in this battle.

+-----------+
|Agent Setup|
+-----------+

RED:
Chavez, Ding
Arnavisca, Santiago
Bogart, Daniel

GREEN (Player Team):
Novikov, Arkadi
Raymond, Renee
Walther, Jorg
Johnston, Homer

+---------+
|Equipment|
+---------+

RED:
Light armor
Uzi, JHP, silenced
AP Army, silenced
Flashbangs
Flashbangs

GREEN:
Light armor
M82, scope (assaulters)/PSG-1, T-scope (sniper)
AP Army
Flashbangs
Smoke grenades

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED:
Start near the front of the insertion zone and walk bearing left. There's a 
ramp behind the stack of logs; throw a flashbang down that ramp before you get 
to it. Once it goes off, run around the logs and down the ramp; there will be a 
tango overlooking the ramp, but the flashbang will distract him long enough to 
take him out. Follow the wall along the left and keep going until you are in 
the small lean-to. Wait for Alpha beside the hay and wagon.

GREEN:
Start further back in the insertion zone so you don't run into Red. Turn right 
and go along the house. Peek around the corner and clear any tangos that you 
immediately see. Once it's safe, throw a smoke grenade in front of the window. 
Once it saturates, move on and take the first left you can (down the stairs). 
Wait for Alpha before turning the corner.

On Alpha, bang the area directly in front of you (aim for the car window). Move 
out and shoot anybody you see. Hug the wall on the right and follow the 
building around. Enter the door, but only enough to clear the immediate 
vicinity, then step back out into the open. Hug the right wall and move 
forward. Once the wagon with barrels disappears from your screen on the left 
side, SATS-prone the middle of the street, halfway between the blue truck and 
the building to your left. Green will do nothing but snipe from here for the 
rest of the mission.

RED:
On Alpha, bang the street along with Green. Move forward cautiously and fire 
into the street if you can, but do not actually go into the street. Instead, 
bear left, and take note of the first door on your right (this door is right 
beside a ladder in the map). You'll be in there in a second. Stay bearing left 
and go to the end of the alley, just to make sure there's no one there. Now 
head back and enter that door beside the ladder. Bang and clear the room, then 
exit out the room from the other side. You'll step onto a small porch; exit the 
porch and go out onto the street, ignoring the double doors. Continue down the 
street, following Green. Hold for Bravo at the wagon with barrels.

Call Bravo when Green is settled to snipe. Continue down the street (using 
Green for cover fire) and enter the first door on your left. Around three 
tangos will be in this room. Take them out, then head up the stairs to the 
left. Enter the LEFT door. (If you enter through the right door, the hostage 
will probably die because he's in the line of fire.) Once the tango nearest to 
the hostage is down, circle the room and make sure the whole room is clear, 
both the ground floor and the overlooking balcony. Secure the hostage, then 
head back downstairs. Turn left twice and enter the door. Clear this room and 
secure this hostage. Exit the building via the closest door to Green's 
position. Head straight for the extraction zone, and you'll pass the mission 
when both hostages are in it.



+--------------+
|+------------+|
||6. MISSION 3||
|+------------+|
+--------------+

Operation: Mountain Watch
December 2, 2005 @ 1900
Jura Canton, Switzerland

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Rainbow arrived at the last hostage situation a little too late. Even though 
you got two hostages out, other terrorists took other hostages away. During the 
escape, the terrorists had a car accident in a tunnel on highway N90. The 
terrorists have retreated into the tunnel and are firing from the barricade of 
wrecked cars.

Meanwhile, Intel is trying to figure out what the terrorists are up to. The 
hostages have said that the terrorists were looking at old bank records before 
going for the cash. Nothing makes sense, so hopefully you'll find someone who 
can provide a couple answers.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

You'll start outside the tunnel and have to go in. The tunnel has several 
entrances and multiple floors. The walls are tight and there's cover everywhere 
- for you and the terrorists. Like the previous mission, these terrorists are 
not very well armed. Also like the last mission, all you need to do is get out 
the hostages so the priority will be on that and not wiping out the tangos.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold makes the first entrance and clears a path for the other two teams. Green 
and Gold then set up to cover the exit route. Once they're set up, Red will go 
in, get the hostages, and get out.

+-----------+
|Agent Setup|
+-----------+

RED:
Chavez, Ding
Arnavisca, Santiago
Bogart, Daniel

GREEN:
Raymond, Renee

GOLD (Player Team):
Johnston, Homer

*NOTE: This is the ONLY time you send in a sniper alone.*

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED & GREEN:
Start the mission in the insertion zone that's outside. Red holds for Bravo, 
and Green holds for Alpha.

GOLD:
Start the mission inside the cabin. Draw your pistol, and head down the stairs 
and out the front door. Cross the tiny snow path and walk in front of the next 
door. Open this and get ready to pull your trigger because sometimes there's a 
tango there. Enter the stairwell; as soon as you do, note that there is a 
terrorist directly below you. Go around the stairs and take him out when you 
can. Keep going down the stairs until the floor in front of you looks a little 
different than the stone; this is the bottom. You need to SATS-crouch the next 
room. There will be about 5 tangos you'll have to deal with. Snipe until Alpha.

Don't call Alpha until you've waited about a minute to make sure everyone's 
down. When you call it, pull your pistol out and stay crouched as you move 
forward. Keep your gun favoring the right side because occasionally there's a 
terrorist around the corner (if there is one, you'll see his shadow before he 
can see you at all). SATS-stand the hall after you turn right at the chain link 
fence (the reason for this is because there is occasionally a terrorist at the 
end of the hall, and if you don't SATS, he'll see you a split second before you 
see him). Follow the hallway around and look to your right as you turn left. 
Remember the steel door; this is what Green will cover.

Proceed to the left. When you're at the top of the stairs, throw a smoke 
grenade down to the blue door below you. By the time you get to the door, it 
will have saturated. SATS-stand the next room and scan it from the safety of 
the smoke. Now SATS-prone halfway between the wrecked black van and the blue 
van that's against the guardrail. You need to position yourself so you're 
facing the tunnel, and the concrete post nearest you is blocking your view 
between the same blue van and the far wall. This way the terrorists will have 
to come around the blue van to see you, by which time you'll have picked them 
off. Fire off a couple warning shots, but make sure you do it before the smoke 
clears. Also before the smoke clears, reload your sniper rifle. This way you 
can pick off as many as you can before the computer takes over the sniper team. 
Gold snipes here for the rest of the mission.

GREEN:
On Alpha, Green follows Gold, and covers the steel door I mentioned. Green will 
"snipe" here for the rest of the mission.

RED:
During all this, Red stands motionless in the extraction zone outside, waiting 
for Bravo. I seriously recommend you switch to Red here; the computer seems 
incapable of handling this mission. I don't usually let the computer snipe for 
me, but it does a good enough of a job for this one mission.

In any event, once Gold and Green are set, call Bravo. Send Red running down 
the same route that Green went. Red will not have to worry about enemies as 
Gold has cleaned them all out. Once you're in the same part of the tunnel as 
Gold, go into the far door (the one to Gold's back). After walking through the 
hole in the stone wall turn right QUICKLY. A terrorist will be there waiting to 
shoot you. Take him out, then go down the hallway where he was at. Turn the 
corner slowly and look up; a terrorist will see you. Crouch and slowly walk up 
the ramp. Gas the room; once it goes off, go into the room still crouched. Move 
slowly because you are in a crossfire and will have to take out the tangos 
carefully or risk being exposed. After you take out the tangos to either side 
of you, throw a second gas grenade in front of you. Walk through the stone arch 
and take out any tangos remaining. There's a door to your left; inside are the 
two hostages and one terrorist. If you have any doubts about your ability, use 
the "open & clear" team command (accessed with the space bar) for that room. 
Once that room is clear, go in and secure the hostages. With that done, go back 
the way you came at full speed and get outside to the extraction zone. If Green 
and Gold are still alive when Red attempts that last dash, everyone should be 
able to make it out without any problems.

||7. MISSION 4||
|+------------+|
+--------------+

Operation: Sentinel Wolf
May 2, 2006 @ 0300
Bergen, Norway

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

It's been 5 months since anything's happened but now a group of terrorists have 
taken over a shipyard. They plan to destroy tankers that are being constructed 
for Venezuelan oil companies. They demand the release of other terrorists who 
have had issues with oil companies also. Between this mission and the first, 
you can see that oil seems to be a favorite target among these terrorists.

A terrorist was captured after the Swiss incidents although he's not saying 
anything yet. So far the only thing Rainbow knows about the terrorists is that 
they had Argentinean passports.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

There are two major parts to this area: the docks, and the buildings and ships 
themselves. The docks are wide open with plenty of sniping points that only the 
terrorists can get to. The buildings and ships are a little tight, but nothing 
worse than it has been. There are three bombs onsite that must be disarmed, but 
you won't have to worry about disarming them directly.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold starts by clearing out the entire outdoor area (although Red will probably 
end up helping). All three teams then enter the building from different sides. 
Green will take care of the southern half of the lower floor, Red will cover 
the catwalks above Green, and Gold will finish the rest of the first floor. Red 
and Green then storm the offices together. After that, all three teams position 
themselves near the hulls. Red and Green will secure the hulls while Gold 
covers them.

|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED:
Start at the western insertion zone. Turn the corner around the semi, look 
east, and wait for Alpha.

GREEN:
Start at the back of the eastern insertion zone. Don't move, and wait for 
Alpha.

GOLD:
Start in the eastern insertion zone in front of Green and walk up the short 
ramp. SATS-prone around the corner of the boxes. Your primary target is up to 
the right. A window will block the heat signature, so you'll have to blow it 
out with a round, but you need to take out the tango up there, or he'll shred 
you to pieces. Stay sniping for awhile and see if you can take out a couple 
more enemies. Call Bravo (only for yourself) and SATS-stand around the corner 
of the first box to your left. There's an enemy sniper high up in a tower to 
your left. Once he's down, continue forward bearing left. Walk around the large 
set of boxes, always keeping your right shoulder against them. Eventually 
you'll see the semi behind which Red is stationed to your left; turn right here 
and you'll see a pick-up with an oil barrel on it. Walk to the truck while 
keeping an eye on your right side. Once you reach the truck, you'll have 
finished clearing the area. Wait here for a moment, then call Alpha.

GREEN:
On Alpha, head forward from the insertion zone. Turn right and follow the line 
of boxes all the way forward. Go up the short set of stairs on your left, and 
enter the door there. Stick along the southern wall and walk through this room 
(although it's not necessary, you'll pass by the first bomb, so you may want to 
disarm it while you're here). Walk north past the bomb and enter the first door 
on your right. Climb the stairs to get into the control room. Hold for Charlie 
at the southern door that leads to the offices.

RED:
Any fighting that Red has done outside will cause enemies to come out of the 
door nearest them, so that door will be open. On Alpha, go forward and throw a 
flashbang inside that room. Enter it, go up the ramp partway, and throw a 
flashbang ahead to your right. Take a step toward the flashbang so you can pick 
off any potential threat in the adjacent room, then go up the ladder. Proceed 
east along the catwalks and enter the first door you see. Walk through the same 
control room where Green was and hold for Charlie at the northern door that 
leads to the offices.

GOLD:
*NOTE: While Gold is doing the following, Red and Green will both signal that 
they're ready for Charlie. Gold has no Charlie command, so call it as soon as 
the other two are ready.*

On Alpha, enter the same door that Red does, but make sure that you're behind 
them. Go up the same ramp, but wait at the top. Once Red starts heading up the 
ladder, cover them by aiming up on the catwalk on the far right side. Once Red 
is up on the catwalk, you can move forward.

Go into the closed door that's behind the boxes in front of you. Clear that 
room, turn right, and smoke the next door before opening it. If you open it 
before smoking, you may encounter a couple tangos looking right at you. Check 
it out with your T-scoped sniper rifle. Once it's clear, SATS-stand the small 
steps in front of you and look up to the left. The third and final sniper is up 
on a ship high above you. Once he's taken out, go east and clear this entire 
outdoor area. Enter the door at the far end, and clear this large room, going 
counterclockwise starting from where you enter. With the first floor completely 
clear, go into the eastern door in this room (you have probably already seen 
Red come from that door). Descend the stairs, and you'll probably be right in 
step with Green when you open the next door. Follow them as they wait for Alpha 
on the stairs, and wait for Alpha yourself just behind them.

RED:
On Charlie, enter through your door and walk along the hallway. Shoot anybody 
you see and go into the door at the end of the hall. Descend one flight of the 
stairs and enter the first door you see. Stick along the wall to your right and 
enter the first door you see. You're back in the open. Turn left and go down 
the far flight of stairs, stopping before you get to the corner. Hold here for 
Alpha.

GREEN:
On Charlie, enter the offices through the southern door. Go east down your 
hallway, and when you get to the end, turn left. You should see Red going to 
your right into the door. Turn left, going back the way Red came in. Exit out 
the door they entered from and go down the stairs of the control room. Once on 
the floor below, go down the next set of stairs also in the control room. 
You'll eventually come to a door. Enter it, follow the hall around, and take 
the first right that you can. Go far enough so that you can clear this room, 
then go back into the hall (the one with the bomb), clear it, then go through 
the door at the north end of the hall. Take an immediate left and go down the 
stairs, stopping short of the corner.

RED:
On Alpha, turn the corner and bang the western hull (the first one you see). 
Clear it, then enter the second hull from the first. Clear that, too, then 
return to the hallway.

GREEN:
On Alpha, descend the steps, bang the eastern hull (the first one you see). 
Clear it, then enter the center hull from the first one. Like Red, clear this, 
then return to the hallway.

GOLD:
On Alpha, follow Green. Once their bang goes off, head into the hallway and 
snipe down it to cover the other two teams.

Operation: Falcon Hour
March 10, 2006 @ 1300
Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

A small airport in Cayman Brac is the scene of a hostage crisis. American and 
British officers were there to do a drug bust, but the smugglers knew they were 
coming, took hostages, and opened fire.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The terrorists are spread out over three buildings and a lot of open ground. 
The three buildings are a hanger, the terminal, and a small emergency building. 
There are three hostages in two different locations. This time you can't just 
get the hostages out; you have to take everybody down.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold clears the outside as Red and Green clear the emergency building. Once 
that is secure, Gold snipes the other open area as Red and Green hit the 
terminal. When that clears, all three teams hit the hanger.

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

GOLD:
Start in the eastern insertion zone. Exit the alley, turn right, and head 
toward the tanker truck. SATS-prone the yellow post, facing west. Make sure you 
take out the sniper that's downrange, hidden behind boxes. Snipe here until 
Bravo.

GREEN:
Start in the southern insertion zone. Go forward and immediately turn left. 
Follow the wall and then turn right about halfway along it. A door will be on 
your right that leads into the emergency building. Enter the first door and 
wait in the small room for Alpha.

RED:
Start in the southern insertion zone. Go into the other small room, the one on 
the eastern wall of the emergency building. Like Green, wait by the second door 
for Alpha. 

*NOTE: The following part is partially based on luck, depending on the place of 
tangos, the hostage might be executed and you won't be able to do a thing about 
it. Most of the time, however, this will work, so if the mission fails here, 
just Retry Action on the Mission Failed screen.*

When Red and Green are both ready, call Alpha. Enter the room and stay against 
the southern wall (the wall where Green enters). Enter the door beside the 
stairs. Clear the small room, then breech the next room. Keep moving into the 
third room. When that's clear, exit out the emergency building via the north 
door. Turn left and enter the door that you see. Clear this room; sometimes 
there's a tango at the far end of the room. Once it's clear, exit the same way 
you came, and turn left and head to the tanker truck that Gold is sniping 
beside. Go behind the tanker truck and move north until you're behind two short 
metal crates. Wait here for Bravo.

GREEN:
On Alpha, immediately enter the door and turn left. Head up the stairs and open 
the door to the overlooking office. Gas the room, clear it, and secure the 
hostage. Once you've got him, bring him to the extraction zone at full speed. 
With the hostage secured, run north and stop short of Gold's position. Wait 
here for Bravo.

RED:
When all three teams are ready, call Bravo. Move west along the open area, then 
head south when you pass the last plane. Smoke the space between the terminal 
and the hanger, then go into the terminal through the northeastern door. Head 
forward and take the second left, up the stairs. Once you're on the second 
floor, turn right and then immediately left. Enter this door (this is the 
northern-most door on the second floor of the terminal). Clear this room, then 
head through the next door. Set a breech on the first door on your right, but 
don't set it off until you hear Charlie.

GOLD:
On Bravo, stop sniping and head forward. When you get to the alley between the 
terminal and the hanger, wait for Red to throw the smoke grenade, and wait for 
Red and Green to pass you. Follow Green into the terminal, take the first left, 
and enter the door at the end of the hall. Clear this room and the adjacent 
room, then throw a smoke grenade through the window. This should land roughly 
the same place that Red's did. Head back outside behind your smoke grenade. Go 
prone and snipe south. Wait for Charlie.

GREEN:
On Bravo, follow Gold. When Gold stops to wait for Red's smoke grenade, pass 
Gold and follow Red. Enter through the same door Red does and take the same set 
of steps. Once you're on the top floor, turn right twice and set a breech on 
the door you see. Don't fire it off until Charlie.

If everyone is in the right spot, Green and Red are ready to breech the last 
hostage room.

GOLD:
On Charlie, stop sniping and move forward. Take the first left you see up the 
stairs. Enter this hall, which is the top floor of the hanger. Proceed to the 
second door on your right. Open the door a crack and frag the room. Once it 
goes off, open the door completely and shoot out the panes of glass with your 
pistol. SATS-crouch the now-open window and snipe into the bottom floor of the 
hanger. Snipe here until Alpha.

RED:
On Charlie, breech your door and run into the room. Don't secure any hostages, 
just help Green clear it. Once it's clear, exit the room through the same door 
you entered. Turn right and then turn left at the end of the hall. Head down 
the stairs and out the door at the bottom. Move forward and take the first left 
you see. Enter the door, clear the room, and exit out the other door. When the 
room bends left, throw a flashbang at the end of it. After it goes off, quickly 
follow your flashbang and turn right. There will be at least two tangos behind 
barricades at the end of the hall. Take them out, and then go to them to make 
sure there's nobody left. Exit out the southern door of the terminal and walk 
through the parking lot. Take the southern door and sprint to the extraction 
zone. Once there, turn left and sprint to the eastern door of the hanger. Set a 
breech and wait for Alpha.

GREEN:
On Charlie, breech your door and help Red clear the room. Secure both hostages, 
then exit through the far door. Move cautiously along the balcony and slide 
down the ladder. Go north through the alley between the hanger and the 
terminal. Turn right twice and enter the hanger through the northern door. Go 
down the hallway and take the first door on your left. Set a breech at the next 
door and wait for Alpha.

When all the teams are ready, call Alpha. After you make your call, breech your 
door and turn left. Go through the next door and turn right. Circle south 
around the first plane and go to the southwestern corner of the hanger, taking 
out everyone you see.

RED:
On Alpha, breech your door and turn left. When you reach the wall, turn right 
and go north until you hit the wall.

GOLD:
On Alpha, exit out of the room. If you wish, head back outside and look for 
anyone you may have missed.

Operation: Pearl Castle
April 19, 2006 @ 1300
Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Police in Cayman Brac were going to ask routine questions of people in the 
vicinity of the airport concerning that incident. When they got to the mansion 
of Nikola Gospic, they were fired upon. Two of the cops were taken hostage and 
the rest called in for Rainbow's assistance. Intel says that Gospic isn't home, 
but considering the security he's got, he's probably tied to the incident 
somehow. Your mission is to get in, wipe everyone out, and get out.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The inside of the mansion is tighter than the ships you faced in Mission 4. The 
outside of the mansion is fairly open but not nearly as open as the airport. 
Due to the confines of the estate, taking full teams would be suicide. There's 
one hostage on the lower floor and one hostage on the upper floor.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Red and Green enter the mansion together. Red will clear most of the first 
floor, all of the outside, and secure the hostage on the first floor. Green 
will secure the hostage on the second floor and will clear most of the second 
floor. Gold will not participate in this mission.

GREEN:
There's only one insertion zone. Start there, head forward, and go into the 
garage. Sometimes a tango is in the far corner. Don't worry about the first 
door you see, it leads into a laundry room and there's never anybody in there. 
Turn the corner and head up the stairs. Wait at the door for Alpha.

RED:
Start in the insertion zone, head forward, and turn left. Go up the first 
flight of steps, then crouch before going up the next flight. This will allow 
you to stay under the living room windows and out of the sight of the tangos in 
there. Wait by the front door for Alpha.

RED & GREEN:
When both teams are ready, call Alpha, open your respective doors, bang the 
room, run in, and clear it.

GREEN:
Head forward and walk around the short barrier. Go into the dining room, and 
from there into the kitchen. Double back the way you came, turn right when you 
reach the same short barrier, and go up the stairs. When you reach the landing, 
throw a flashbang up and over the railing. Head up the second part of the 
stairs and go down the hallway. Stop before turning the corner and wait for 
Bravo.

RED:
Once your flashbang goes off, run into the living room. Take the door at the 
end of the room near the piano. Go through the next door you see. Turn left and 
enter the door closest to you. Clear the room and secure the hostage. Clear out 
the three rooms in this area, then go to the stairwell adjacent to the room 
with the hostage. Throw a flashbang up the stairs, follow it, and enter the 
next door you see. Go to the first door on your right; don't enter it but wait 
for Bravo.

GREEN:
On Bravo, turn the corner and take the first door on the left. Clear the 
billiard room, then go back the way you came. Go to the double doors that lead 
into the master bedroom. Bang the room and clear it. Clear the balcony through 
the double doors, then enter the master bedroom again. Facing the two separate 
doors that both lead into the bathroom, enter the one on the left (that will be 
east on the map). Run in, secure the hostage, and head for the extraction zone.

RED:
On Bravo, enter the guest room and clear it. Don't worry about the guest 
bathroom, just go back into the hallway. Go into the same billiard room where 
green is, but exit through the southern door. Go outside, turn left, and go 
down the short flight of stairs into the pool room. From there, go to the back 
yard and take out anyone you see. That should take care of it, but head to the 
extraction zone if it doesn't. You'll probably see the remaining enemies on 
your way.

||10. MISSION 7||
|+-------------+|
+---------------+

Operation: Crimson Hook
May 17, 2006 @ 0500
Pilar, Argentina

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

A hostage situation has developed in Pilar. Intruders were destroying company 
records at a meatpacking facility, and a guard spotted them. The guard was 
killed, but he alerted police. By the time they got there, several night shift 
managers had been taken hostage. The intruders opened fire with AK-47 rounds, 
showing that they mean business.

The twist to this is that one of the shareholders of the facility is Nikola 
Gospic, the man whose mansion you just filled with gunfire. It's because of 
this connection that Rainbow was called in.

Meanwhile, more information is coming in about not only Gospic, but your 
earlier missions as well. Gospic funds an Argentinian presidential candidate 
named Alvaro Gutierrez. Gutierrez is supported by neo-facist organizations; in 
other words, the Nazis from World War II. Not only that, but he managed to get 
the passports for the terrorists involved in the Switzerland incidents.

So what we've got is terrorists connected to Gutierrez, Gutierrez connected to 
Gospic, and Gospic connected to the meatpacking facility. The question at this 
point is just how much everybody knows of everything.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The inside of the meatpacking facility is a little tight. There are several big 
rooms, but for the most part the building is hallways. All three hostages are 
in separate rooms and all are tightly guarded. You'll need to be more quiet 
than anything to succeed, and you'll have to be sure to hit the hostage rooms 
with perfect timing.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Red enters through the north entrance while the other two teams enter through 
the south. All three teams meet up in the same room, the processing room (the 
one with sinks). From there, Gold and Green will position themselves, and 
together rescue the hostage in the cafeteria. All three teams will hit the 
final room and rescue the last two hostages simultaneously.

|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED:
Start Red in the top left corner of the insertion zone. Have them enter the 
door closest to them and turn the corner into the deli. Open the double doors a 
crack and bang the large room adjacent to the deli. Enter this room cautiously 
and go forward and up the small set of stairs to your right. Hold for Bravo 
before passing through the open-frame door.

GOLD:
Start at the south edge of the insertion zone and sprint to the door leading 
into the corral. Enter and immediately turn right; there are no tangos to worry 
about here. When you get to the end of the corral, SATS-crouch around the 
folded door and snipe into what appears to be the killing room. There's at 
least one tango in the control room, so you may need to blow out the windows of 
it to see him on the T-scope. Snipe here until Alpha.

GREEN:
Follow Gold at a normal pace. By the time Gold sets up to snipe, Green should 
be behind them, aiming into the same area but not sniping. Wait there for 
Alpha.

GOLD:
Once several tangos are down, call Alpha and wait for Green to go ahead of you.

GREEN:
Pass Gold and turn left as soon as you enter the killing room. Go through the 
first door you see into the locker room. Go to the west wall and then head 
north, clearing out anyone in there. Turn left at the end and exit the locker 
room. Follow the hallway around to the processing room and wait at the double 
doors for Bravo.

GOLD:
After Green passes you, enter the killing room and stay along the walls of the 
control room. Poke your head in to make sure it is clear, then enter the door 
at the north end of the killing room (the one that leads into the room with the 
forklift). Go through this room, turn left, and hold for Bravo at the open 
frame that leads to the processing room.

Call Bravo and hit the processing room with the other two teams. Exit the room 
the same way Green came in. Follow the hallway west and turn left when you can. 
SATS-crouch the open door to your right and aim at the catwalk a little above 
you. There will be at least one tango that needs to be taken out, so wait here 
for Charlie.

GREEN:
On Bravo, enter the processing room and turn left. Open the door a crack and 
throw a frag next to the forklift in the long room. Enter the room, clear it 
out, and then exit it through the northern doors. Enter the warehouse and go up 
the south staircase. Enter the hall that leads to the offices and take the 
first door on the left. After passing through this door, you'll be in Gold's 
crosshairs. Follow the catwalk and when it turns left, hold for Charlie.

RED:
On Bravo, pass through the open door and turn left twice. Take the long way 
around, but exit through the same door that Green does. Go into the warehouse 
the same way Green does, but circle inside it to make sure it's clear. When it 
is, head up the north staircase in the warehouse and turn left into the 
northernmost hall on the top floor. Hold for Alpha before turning the corner.

GOLD:
Once Green is ready, call Charlie and continue down the hallway you were going 
down in the first place. Throw a flashbang into the cafeteria, then enter it. 
Ignore the hostage and continue to the double doors that lead to the room with 
three forklifts. Enter carefully because sometimes there is a tango to your 
right. Bear left and enter the next set of double doors, then continue straight 
and bear right. This should lead you into the same warehouse that Red and Green 
have already passed through. Go into the hallway on the first floor that is 
directly below Red's current position. Unlike Red, do turn the corner. Throw a 
smoke grenade next to the door but do not open it yet. Instead, wait for Alpha. 
Don't worry because it shouldn't be too long before you call it.

GREEN:
On Charlie, head down the stairs. Gold's flashbang should go off JUST before 
you enter the cafeteria. Take down anyone near the hostage and secure said 
hostage. Make sure there's nobody else in the cafeteria, then head back up the 
stairs. Cross the catwalk again and hold for Alpha at the door that leads to 
the hallway with the offices.

RED:
On Alpha, turn the corner and open the door. Walk onto the catwalk and make a 
beeline for the hostage that's standing in the middle of it. Secure the 
hostage, then head down the stairs of the catwalk.

GOLD:
On Alpha, open the door and immediately back up so you're behind the smoke. 
Turn on your T-scope and snipe anyone on the lower floor that you can. Enter 
the room and immediately turn right because sometimes a tango is there. If it's 
clear, continue to the end of this room.

GREEN:
On Alpha, enter the hallway and enter the first office. Clear it, then exit out 
onto the catwalk. Go to the end of the catwalk and enter the second office. 
Secure the hostage there and that should end the mission.

Operation: Stone Cannon
June 10, 2006 @ 0500
Porto Alegre, Brazil

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

With all these missions happening in the Western Hemisphere, Rainbow has 
temporarily moved from Hereford, England, to Langley, USA.

A U.S. Coast Guard cutter intercepted a freighter. On board were drugs, 
weapons, and propaganda for the Nazis. The ship was heading for a specific 
shipping firm in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This company was also mentioned by some 
of the terrorists who survived the Cayman Brac ordeals. With a link 
established, the Brazilian government watched the shipping firm. They managed 
to get footage of many illegal things going into and out of the warehouse. In 
addition to weapons and drugs, ingredients for chemical weapons were also 
discovered. Although Rainbow doesn't normally do police actions like this, John 
Clark managed to get permission to have Rainbow confiscate the contraband.

The ingredients spotted seemed to be for a chemical weapon called VX. VX is a 
nerve gas that causes quick and painful death from even the smallest doses. It 
can kill you whether you inhale it or touch it, and it decomposes at a very 
slow rate. Needless to say, the stuff has got to be taken off the streets.

Intel, meanwhile, has confirmed the motive behind the meatpacking plant 
incident. The intruders wanted to destroy 40 years worth of financial records 
while leaving the rest of the plant intact. Luckily for Intel, the intruders 
missed the backups. So Intel is now going through them to see if they can find 
any clues.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

There's one large building and one tiny building, connected via a second-story 
walkway. Outside of the buildings, the areas are open and spacious with little 
cover. Inside, the rooms are a little larger than what you've experienced 
before. The problem is that the enemies are better armed and must be dealt with 
accordingly.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold starts by clearing the way for Red and Green. They clear the first floor 
of the small building and set up to snipe one of the open areas. Green will 
then clear the entire second floor of both buildings, while Red will hit some 
of the first floor of the larger building. All three teams enter the first 
warehouse together, and then enter the second warehouse together. Though there 
are no hostages, stealth is necessary for two of the teams.

|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED & GREEN:
All three teams start at the northeastern insertion zone. Red and Green will 
immediately wait for Alpha behind Gold.

GOLD:
Walk out of the alley and aim up with the AW Covert. A tango will be in a 
balcony, and if you don't take him out now, he will see you and things won't be 
pretty from the start. Once he's down, look left at the street level and keep 
walking out onto the street. A tango will have his back to you, because he'll 
be working on a car. Rainbow is not about honor; put a sniper round through the 
back of his skull. With that done, enter through the door to your right that 
leads into the smaller building. Turn left and enter through the door at the 
end of the hall and go into the locker room. There is sometimes a tango in 
here, so let your assaulter clear the room. Once that is done, exit the locker 
room through the other door and then open the next door that you see. An enemy 
will be in here, and he'll be facing you, but he's watching a test screen on 
the TV, so you'll be able to catch him off-guard. Open the door and quickly put 
a couple rounds in his face, then continue through the hallway. Take the last 
door and quickly move past the window. Open the door slowly because sometimes 
there is a tango right there. Once you're outside, SATS-prone around the corner 
and aim into the open field. You should be able to immediately take out at 
least two enemies from your location. Snipe here until Bravo. Once you're 
settled, call Alpha.

*NOTE: Red and Green do the following steps at the same time, as always through 
this FAQ. However, these are going to be long, so bear with me.*

RED:
On Alpha, walk into the street. Turn left and head toward the car that the now-
dead tango was working on. Look right, into the open area, in case someone can 
see you. Continue south past the car and turn right. Open the northeastern door 
to the larger building (it should be the closest door to you). Gas and clear 
the room, then enter the door closest to the ladder. Cautiously creep through 
this room and go into the hallway. Make a quick U-turn and enter the door into 
the next room. Still staying low to the ground, open the door that leads to the 
lobby. Frag the room, then clear it. Go behind the divider wall and clear the 
room adjacent to the lobby. Exit back into the lobby, then go into the hall. 
Make your way out of the building the same way you came in.

Once you come back to the same car, turn left and walk under the skyway. When 
you reach the dumpsters, go south along the white trailer truck. Hold for Bravo 
at the tiny set of steps right before the loading dock. If you're positioned 
right, Gold should not be able to see you.

GREEN:
On Alpha, walk into the street and enter the smaller building through the same 
door that Gold did. Unlike Gold, however, turn right and go up the stairs. 
Enter the room at the top and clear it. Head onto the skyway and go into the 
larger building. Cross the catwalk and enter the first door you see (the one 
closest to the ladder). Enter the next room and turn left through the door. 
Bang the balcony, then follow it and aim down onto the street. There should be 
a tango next to a car that you can reach from here. When he's down, go back 
into the building. Go south and enter the room that's at the corner of the 
building. Clear it, then return for the third time into the bigger room.

(In my downloadable plan, Green calls Milestone #1 here. This signifies that 
Green is about to enter the biggest room on the second floor.)

Throw a frag into the large room, then cautiously enter it and clear it. Go 
south and head onto the south balcony via the unlocked door. Clear the entire 
balcony and go back into the room through the locked door. Enter the very small 
room adjacent to the big room. There will be an enemy here, but you'll have a 
split-second advantage because he'll be watching a race on TV. Exit the small 
room and head toward the door that leads outside.

(Green calls Milestone #2 here. This signifies that they are done with the 
second floor.)

Open the door and head down the stairs. There are at most two tangos outside. 
Take them out, then go under the stairs and head back into the larger building. 
Turn right, go through the door, and clear the last room on the first floor 
(aside from the warehouses). Exit into the hallway, turn left, go through the 
hall, and wait for Bravo by the last door on your right.

ALL TEAMS:
When all teams are ready, call Bravo. On Bravo, sprint into the western-most 
warehouse. Gold will probably end up not seeing any action since they will take 
the longest to get there. All teams wait for Charlie in the middle of the first 
warehouse in order to make sure the room is clear and to make sure all teams 
are ready. When they are, call Charlie and have all three teams rush into the 
central warehouse. Have all three teams spread out to make sure every point is 
covered.

This should end the mission, but still make another couple waypoints for Red. 
Send them into the room where they threw the gas grenade (it's adjacent to the 
second warehouse). If the mission is still not done, have Gold use their 
Heartbeat Sensor and sweep the building. Typically, if any tangos were missed, 
they were high up in one of the warehouses.

||12. MISSION 9||
|+-------------+|
+---------------+

Operation: Shattered Glass
August 9, 2006 @ 0900
Buenos Aires, Argentina

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Because it's now confirmed that Gutierrez helped the terrorists in Switzerland, 
suspicions have been raised about him and Gospic. Intel picked up Gospic, who 
claims to have nothing to do with the incidents in his mansion and the 
meatpacking facility. There is no hard evidence against him, so for now he must 
be taken on his word.

However, because he's supporting Gutierrez, we can't rule him out. Since 
Gutierrez has been linked to the terrorist acts, Rainbow has been authorized to 
spy on Gutierrez. Rainbow needs to plant a couple bugs in Gutierrez's 
penthouse, but must do so quietly or Gutierrez will know something's up. To aid 
in this mission, the Argentinean police are making a ruckus Gutierrez's office. 
This is drawing Gutierrez and most of his guards away from your objective.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The penthouse is composed of four floors. You must plant a bug on a computer 
which is on the second floor. You must also plant a bug on one of two phones, 
which are located on the first floor and the third floor.

You're not allowed to fire a single round, and you're not allowed to be 
spotted; you need to be the shadow that walks, or something.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Red team will infiltrate the building and plant the bugs. Green team will... I 
don't know, play Pokemon or something.

+-----------+
|Agent Setup|
+-----------+

Because this is a special mission, the people I suggest for the Red team are 
very specific.

RED (Player team):
Yacoby, Ayana*

*NOTE: If she's not available, use Woo, Tracy. If neither of them is available, 
use Maldini, Antonio. If none of your recon specialists are available (backups 
excluded), use Chavez, Ding. If you're still short on people, find someone with 
high stealth and high electronics.*

GREEN:
Lofquist, Annika*

*NOTE: You can use ANYONE for Green; however, I use Lofquist because there's no 
other use for her in the campaign... and she's hot.*

+---------+
|Equipment|
+---------+

RED:
Light armor
None*
AP Army, silenced
Heartbeat sensor
Electronics kit

GREEN:
Light armor
None*
AP Army, silenced
None
None

*NOTE: To select no primary weapon, scroll above the submachine guns and select 
the word "None".*

*NOTE: Green can carry anything they want to, but for simplicity's sake, this 
is the equipment I recommend.*

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED:
Start by walking forward and opening the metal door to the fire escape. There 
are no enemies here, so you can run down the whole tower of stairs. There is 
another metal door at the foot of the stairs that actually leads to the 
penthouse itself. Enter, still running, and open the door at the end of the 
short hallway. There are still no enemies here, don't worry. Slow down to a 
normal walking speed. Stick against the right wall until you come to a pair of 
steps, and PEEK around the left edge. You'll see a pair of double doors made of 
glass. You can see through them, and yes, so can the tangos on the other side.

However, of the three guys in the other room, two are engrossed in a soccer 
game with their backs to you. The third is walking around randomly, so you need 
to look for him. Unfortunately, you're too far away to use the Heartbeat 
Sensor. For this little predicament, I actually draw my pistol. I play the 
single-player game with Auto-Aim (yeah, I know, I'm a wuss), so the crosshairs 
jump whenever the guy comes into view. That will help you figure when he leaves 
as well; once he walks off to the left, you can proceed. Walk to the set of 
stairs on your left, and go up the stairs until your gun is in line with the 
edge of the wall on your right.

Now, don't whip out your Heartbeat Sensor here. There is only one guard who is 
patrolling this area in a clockwise pattern that you need to avoid, but there 
might be as many as three blips on your sensor due to various people running 
around. Just wait there, peeking to the left. The guard will never see you, 
because he'll walk past your position, and you'll see his back as he moves.

Once he passes you, go forward to the next corner. He's taken a turn down the 
hallway that you want to go to, so wait. Make sure you're WAY behind the 
corner, because he's going to come back toward you. Take out your Heartbeat 
Sensor here; he'll be the only one who will probably show up, but even if he's 
not, it won't be too hard to figure out which blip is his. Wait until he goes 
off to your right, then hurry down the hallway he just came from (DO NOT RUN, 
he might hear you).

To the right in that hallway is a set of glass double doors like what you saw 
downstairs. Go in, and you'll find a desk with a laptop. MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE 
THE DOOR BEHIND YOU. If for some reason you get delayed and the guard sees the 
open door, he WILL come and investigate. Get behind the desk and hold down the 
space bar to start planting the bug on the computer. The electronics kit will 
operate by itself, and the bug will be complete in 7 to 8 seconds.

Now you have a choice. If you want to be aggressive, you can immediately exit 
the room (SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND YOU again), and run to the right for the stairs.
If you were as smooth as James Bond planting the bug, then the guard will 
probably still be out of position. However, if you got delayed for whatever 
reason, then you may want to wait for the guard to complete another lap before 
exiting the office. Should you choose to wait, hang out near the statue on the 
left facing the doors from the inside. (If you're by the right statue, he can 
see you.) Use the Heartbeat Sensor to watch him, and when he starts to head 
back toward the center of the building, go on to the stairs on the right.

Whether or not you were aggressive getting there, climb the short flight of 
steps and stick against the right wall. Wait once you get to the corner.
There's another single guard here, but he's patrolling counter-clockwise. You 
can pick him up on the Heartbeat Sensor once he circles along the nearest hall, 
but you don't have to bother with it. Just peek around the left corner and wait 
to see him cross the hallway from left to right.

Once he passes to the right, head forward and turn left, heading down the 
direction he came from. Along the left wall is a door; enter it, and close it 
behind you. You're now in the master bedroom, which has a phone on the far 
wall. Simply walk up to the phone and hold the space bar to plant a bug on the 
phone.

GREEN:
Green has the sole objective of walking ten feet from the insertion zone to the 
extraction zone. See, the game will merely check that SOMEONE is in the 
extraction zone; it won't care whether the agent there is actually the one who 
was inside.

Now, obviously this objective takes about one second, so if you want them to do 
something while Red is doing its thing, have them run laps around the roof. Or, 
if you want to give them some exercise, have them run up and down the tower of 
stairs that Red used to enter the building. Use your imagination! Basically, 
their activity doesn't matter as long as 1) they don't get anywhere near an 
enemy, and 2) they end in the extraction zone, hopefully by the time Red is 
done.

+-------------+
|12a. The Turn|
+-------------+

After Mission 9, the enemies become harder, they fire sooner, they're smarter, 
and they tend to see things a little quicker. From here on out, do not expect 
to get through missions without taking a bullet anymore. That's not to say 
you'll be losing people left and right, but you may start having to use 
replacements to the agent suggestions.

||13. MISSION 10||
|+--------------+|
+----------------+

Operation: Lion Shadow
September 23, 2006 @ 1500
London, England

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

A banking house in England is your next setting. Terrorists have taken 
hostages, and of course you're the one who has to rescue them. In addition to 
the hostages, the terrorists want to destroy some financial records for some 
reason. 

The leader of these terrorists is Douglas Preston. He's a former soldier in the 
British Army, with time served in Kuwait under his belt. Once he returned to 
Britain, he killed his own reputation by publicly sympathizing with the Unified 
People's Front, an organization that supports the neo-Nazis. Kevin Sweeney 
guesses that Preston might have some connection to Gutierrez.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The banking house has three floors. They're tight but there are multiple ways 
to be seen. Also, one terrorist has commandeered the bank's security system. If 
he knows Rainbow is there, he'll raise the alarm.

One hostage is on the first floor, two hostages are in the basement, and the 
financial records are on the second floor. That means your teams will have to 
explore the entire building before you can succeed.

These terrorists are well-armed and they have body armor, so you need a little 
bit more firepower than usual.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold takes care of the security system and a high sniper. After that, Green and 
Red break in and go to the second floor. All three teams secure the first 
hostage, and then Red secures the financial documents. Red and Green will clear 
the second floor while Gold clears the first floor. All three teams will then 
head into the basement and secure the last two hostages.

+-------------+
|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED:
There is only one insertion zone to start in. From it, go to the left door of 
the front set. Plant a breech and wait for Charlie.

GREEN:
Sprint north and around the corner. Set up in front of the side door and wait 
for Bravo.

GOLD:
For this initial part, go by Recon rules (that is, don't shoot unless you are 
fired upon). Follow Green and climb up the double-decker bus. Select your 
sniper, go prone, and snipe the terrorist in the security room. Because the 
sniper rifle is not silenced, you will attract some attention (which is wanted 
in this case). As Gold, cover the room because sometimes some terrorists will 
run in there. Green, meanwhile, will have the side door covered, so you'll be 
safe. Enemies will not come out of the front door. Snipe on the bus until 
Alpha.

After several terrorists have been taken out (as many as seven might go down by 
the time you and Green are done), call Alpha. Leave the bus and go to the 
northwest corner of the building. SATS-stand around the corner; there will only 
be one person you'll have to deal with, and he's on a second-floor balcony. 
Once he's down, call Bravo. Sprint to the back set of double doors. Don't 
bother calling a code; just enter the building from there. You'll be greeted by 
a terrorist just in front of the door. Take him out, then turn right. Go down 
the hall and take the first door on your right. There is sometimes a terrorist 
in the next couple rooms, and sometimes there isn't. Go south as far as you 
can, then turn east when you have no choice. Exit out the door that is next to 
the steps. Go down the hallway next to the steps and wait by the metal door 
until Alpha.

GREEN:
On Bravo, enter your door, turn left, and stop just short of the first door on 
your right. Wait for Charlie.

RED:
When Green is in position for it, call Charlie. Breech your door and turn left 
in the lobby. Head up the staircase and wait for Alpha behind the door that 
leads to the balcony that overlooks the main floor.

GREEN:
On Charlie, run into the lobby. Go up the staircase nearest to you, stop short 
of the door the same way Red is, and wait for Alpha.

Call Alpha when all three teams are ready for it. Go out onto the balcony, go 
west, and turn right at the end of the balcony. Turn right again and head into 
the conference room, shooting as you go. Clear the conference room and then 
exit out on the same side as you came in but through the other door. Clear out 
all the small rooms west of the conference room. With that done, head down the 
stairs closest to out and clear out the rooms in the northwest corner of the 
first floor. Pick the lock that leads to the stairway to the basement. Head 
down the stairs to the basement, turn left, and wait for Bravo before turning 
the last corner.

RED:
On Alpha, go to the balcony and walk along it on the opposite side of Green. 
Once you get to your end, turn around and go back the way you came. Turn right 
(in my downloadable plan, Red calls Milestone 1 here; this marks that they are 
about to enter the financial records room). Turn right and head straight for 
the computer in the corner of the room. With the records secure, clear out the 
southern half of the second floor. Make your way slowly west through all the 
rooms until you get to the lavish waiting room. Clear that, then head down the 
same set of stairs that Green took. Turn right twice and go through the metal 
door you see that leads to the tellers' area (Gold has already picked it for 
you). Go down the stairs behind it and continue along the only path in the 
basement. Hold for Bravo before you get to the bulletproof window.

GOLD:
On Alpha, open the door leading to the tellers' area. Take out the tango there, 
then exit through the other door. Turn right twice and go into the large main 
room. All three teams will have cleared everyone out of here by now, so secure 
the hostage and continue south. Clear the two small offices on the south side, 
then exit the building through the front doors. Take the hostage to the 
extraction zone, then go back inside. Follow Green's path, and wait behind them 
in the basement for Bravo.

RED:
Call Bravo when all three teams are ready. Run to the door and breech it. You 
will be spotted, but meanwhile...

GREEN:
On Bravo, turn the corner and head toward the vault. You and Red will probably 
be spotted at the same time. While Red works on the door, clear out anyone who 
comes out into the hallway, but getting into the vault is your priority. Once 
inside, whack the tangos and secure the hostages.

GOLD:
On Bravo, follow Green. Cover their tail and take out anyone that goes into the 
hallway. Take the first door on your right and clear that room if it isn't 
already.

RED:
Once you're through your door, turn left and take the first door on your left. 
Clear that room if anyone's there, then clear the small room adjacent to where 
you are.

||14. MISSION 11||
|+--------------+|
+----------------+

Operation: Broken Stone
November 11, 2006 @ 1100
Pilar, Argentina

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

The documents you saved from the last mission provided one of the last pieces 
of the puzzle. During the Second World War, Hitler's people systematically 
stole assets from Holocaust victims. Different people are listed (I assume as 
the money holders), including Peja Sicic. In case you've forgotten, he was the 
one who was going to be deported in Mission 1.

The financial records also mention a man named Dejan Blazevic. Intel got old 
pictures of Blazevic and electronically aged them. The result is someone who 
looks strikingly like Nikola Gospic. Blazevic/Gospic escaped from Europe in 
1945. When news broke of Sicic's deportation, Gospic was afraid that his own 
cover would be blown. So Gospic staged the attempted raid on the Venezuelan oil 
refinery.

As Kevin Sweeney says, there's more bad news. Intel has discovered that the 
import/export business you dealt with in Brazil is owned by Gutierrez, and 
Gutierrez's company does a lot of business with other companies owned by 
Gospic. Specifically, Gospic's meatpacking company in Pilar was mentioned 
several times in phone conversations the two men had (heard thanks to your 
planted bugs in Mission 9). They discussed plans for that meatpacking company: 
the use of the VX chemical weapon in the food. 

With all this information, Rainbow has been ordered to head back to Pilar to 
collect any VX they find inside the meatpacking company. 

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

You've been here before, so the layout is familiar and the mission is during 
the day, not night. However, you're dealing with more enemies who are better 
armed. Luckily, there are no hostages to deal with.

The VX is a problem by itself. It's so lethal that John Clark doesn't want a 
drop to be exposed. There are three locations where the VX is, and the valves 
can only be opened by tangos in hazmat suits (the containers seem to be 
bulletproof, too).

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Red clears most of the first floor and all of the outside. They will end up 
securing one of the three VX locations. Green and Gold, meanwhile, will secure 
the second VX location. After that, all three teams secure the last VX 
location, and together hit the final room.

GREEN:
All three teams start in the cafeteria. Start by going around the tables and 
wall and wait for Alpha by the door leading to the large room with the VX.

GOLD:
Exit the cafeteria through the door leading into the room with the two 
forklifts. Turn left so you face the hallway leading into the room with the VX, 
but don't advance yet and don't fire; just wait for Alpha.

GREEN:
Call Alpha when both teams are ready. Open the door and clear the room, 
starting with anyone near the VX. Circle the room to make sure it's empty, then 
go back into the cafeteria. Go up the stairs and wait for Bravo by the door at 
the end of the catwalk.

GOLD:
On Alpha, sprint down the hallway. A tango will probably be in your way, so 
just run and gun him. Still at full speed, open the doors leading to the VX 
room. Help Green clear it, then go back the way you came. Wait for Bravo by the 
double doors in the hallway linking the forklift room with the VX room.

RED:
Start the mission in the cafeteria like the other two teams. Exit the cafeteria 
through the open door and go into the hallway. Take the first right into the 
locker room. Clear this room, then exit out the door to go into the killing 
room. Head north and enter the small room with the single forklift. Go through 
this room, turn left, and sprint into the room with the VX. Walk onto the short 
catwalk, and you'll have a good view of the whole room, especially the VX 
container. Clear the room, then go through the open door on the catwalk. Turn 
right and clear this large room. Next open the door to the deli and clear it. 
Continue through the deli, through the hallway, and exit to the outside.

Proceed south, sticking against the wall. Clear anyone you see and re-enter the 
building via the corral. Clear the corral, then sprint back to the VX room you 
cleared. Exit it through the west door to go into the long warehouse. Hold for 
Bravo at the first double doors that lead to the last VX room.

Call Bravo when all three teams are ready. Sprint through both sets of double 
doors and head straight for the VX container. Run through the room and hold for 
Charlie at the double doors that lead to the last room.

GOLD:
On Bravo, sprint into the final VX room. Bear left so you don't run into Red. 
Clear anyone on your side and continue forward into the hallway that wraps 
around to the final room. Wait for Charlie by the door.

GREEN:
On Bravo, go through the door and go onto the catwalk overlooking the final VX 
room. Walk along it and exit the room north through the hallway that's above 
Gold. Wait for Charlie by the door.

ALL TEAMS:
When all three teams are ready, call Charlie. Hit and clear the final room to 
finish the mission.

+----------------+

Operation: Briar Gate
December 22, 2006 @ 1710
Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Intel has traced the origins of the VX ingredients. Preston managed to buy it 
from the black market, who in turn got it a long time ago from the USSR. The 
problem is Preston didn't just pick up the VX; he also got ingredients to make 
more, along with another chemical which is probably a blistering agent.

You got the ingredients to the VX when you cleared the import/export business 
in Brazil. However, the blistering agent is unaccounted for. Because Gospic 
seems to be involved, Rainbow has been authorized to go back to his mansion and 
search it.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

Like the last stage, you've been here before, so the layout should be familiar. 
Yet again there are no hostages, but also yet again there are more, better-
armed enemies. Also, as soon as you are spotted, they'll try to destroy 
evidence that could incriminate Gospic. That is something you'll definitely 
have to prevent from happening.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

This one is simple: Green clears the entire second floor while Red and Gold 
clear the first floor and the garage.

|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

RED:
Start as far forward as possible in the insertion zone. Head forward and throw 
the flashbang into the courtyard. Take two rights and go poolside. Wait for 
Alpha by the double doors that lead to the main part of the mansion.

GOLD:
Follow Red until they turn toward the pool. When they do, wait for Alpha by the 
double doors, near the picnic table, that lead to the main part of the house.

GREEN:
Follow Gold and assist both teams in clearing out the outside. Follow Red up 
toward the pool, but go up the stairs that lead to the overlooking balcony. 
Turn right to go into the first door that you can, which will lead into the 
billiard room. Clear it, then go back out onto the balcony. Enter the guest 
bedroom, clear that, then go into the hallway. Head east through the hallway 
and take the last door on your right. Follow the hallway around and go into the 
master bedroom. Clear this and the adjacent balcony and bathroom.

GOLD:
Call Alpha when you and Red are ready. Enter the mansion at a normal speed, and 
follow your hallway around into the large central room. You should get there 
roughly the same time Red does. Help them clear it, then continue into the 
living room. Once you are clear of the central room, RUN to the computer room. 
If you get delayed for any reason, you might fail the mission because the 
evidence was destroyed. Once you get the room clear, exit out into the small 
courtyard and clear the three rooms in the northwest corner. Head up the 
nearest flight of stairs and clear that, but don't go into the second floor 
hallway. Just wait at the top landing.

RED:
Enter your door at a normal speed and head toward the center of the mansion. 
Turn right as soon as you can, so you go into the dining room. Continue to the 
kitchen, then exit to the outside. Head down to the driveway and, when the 
outside is clear, re-enter the house via the garage. Go upstairs, go through 
the living room, and go into the computer room (which Gold should have already 
secured).

If you haven't mastered SATS yet, you may want to go and practice it in a 
practice mission, because I heavily rely on it for the last three missions.

|+--------------+|
+----------------+

Operation: Talon Steel
December 22, 2006 @ 2330
Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Rainbow just found out that INTERPOL had a man inside Gospic's operation. He 
just called in from the Cayman Brac Airport and provided the rest of the 
information:

Gospic's people were at the airport trying to smuggle the blistering agent to 
Rio de Janeiro. A large parade for a holiday called the Festas Juninas is set 
to start in Rio soon. Gospic, who Intel has found out to be terminally ill, is 
crazy enough to kill himself in a very public demonstration. The blistering 
agent gives him a good tool for it.

Although in theory, Gospic's death might be a cause for celebration, there's a 
world-scale problem: thanks to the information found on the documents recovered 
from the second meatpacking plant mission, Intel now knows that Gospic has been 
sending money to support a new Nazi movement. Upon Gospic's death, all his 
money would transfer to an anonymous benefactor who will start the movement.

The INTERPOL agent I mentioned has unfortunately been killed. INTERPOL 
immediately responded and, although they didn't make much progress, they did 1) 
shut down the airport, thus preventing the enemies' escape; and 2) confiscate 
aerosol equipment which is probably the method Gospic plans to use to 
distribute the nerve gas.

Rainbow has been called in to clean out the rest of the airport and try to pick 
up any final clue.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

It's deja vu all over again (don't you hate that phrase? I do, too.). For the 
third time in a row, you're revisiting an old stage. For the third time in a 
row, hostages are not part of the equation this time. For the third time in a 
row, there are more and better-armed enemies.

The problem is that this won't be as simple as the last two. The enemies are 
MUCH better armed, including a few snipers that will be tough to take out.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

This is about as freeform as it gets in this game. Red partially clears one 
parking lot while Gold partially clears the other parking lot, and Green loads 
up their saved Pokemon game from Mission 9. Then Green will finish clearing out 
the first parking lot and join Red in the terminal while Gold goes to the first 
parking lot. Green and Red clear the terminal and Gold stirs up trouble in the 
hangar. Gold will then make their way to the second parking lot and the runway, 
shooting the whole way. All three teams will basically cross each other and 
line up to hit the hangar, taking out anyone left.

|Team Strategy|
+-------------+

GREEN:
Start in the insertion zone and wait for Alpha.

GOLD:
Turn east and sprint to the far corner of the emergency building. SATS-prone 
for Alpha around the corner. Your main target is a sole tango who is usually 
behind the fire truck, and you can shoot him under it. If he's not there, he's 
patrolling left and right. Make sure you wait and take him out before moving 
on.

RED:
From the insertion zone, head into the west parking lot through the door. Use 
the two vans for cover and wait for Alpha by the second van so you can see the 
door to the terminal but still have cover on your right side.

GOLD:
Let me stress again: do NOT call Alpha until that tango outside is down. Once 
he is and all three teams are ready, call Alpha. Head north and take the first 
door on your left, which leads to the eastern small room which is adjacent to 
the emergency building. There is always a tango in the small room, so be ready 
to pull the trigger. Continue into the main room of the emergency building 
proper. If there is a tango here, he will be on the other side of the fire 
truck, probably with his back to you. If he isn't there, don't worry about 
looking for him. Either way, continue out through the north door and step back 
outside. Aim right because sometimes an enemy has come to investigate the 
corpse of the patrolling tango that you've taken down. Once it's safe, go into 
the room on the left that links the two parking lots. Use the space bar to 
order your partner to open and clear the door to the second parking lot. While 
he's picking the lock, cover the door you used to enter this room. When he 
announces it's clear, hit R to get him back to you and head out into the second 
parking lot. Throw a smoke grenade into the alley between the terminal and the 
hangar. Once it saturates, crouch against the tanker truck and snipe north 
until Bravo.

RED:
On Alpha, throw a smoke grenade against the door to the terminal. Cautiously 
move toward your smoke grenade, enter the terminal, and turn left. By the time 
you do all that, the smoke grenade will have magically penetrated the walls and 
will keep you safe from tangos in a perfect ambush position in the airport's 
lobby. Hold for Bravo when you reach the gift shop desk.

GREEN:
On Alpha, sprint through the door that Red used to go into the west parking 
lot. Run between the two vans, and as you move, watch Red's back as they throw 
the smoke grenade and enter the terminal. Hold for Bravo at the rear corner of 
the tanker truck.

GOLD:
Don't call Bravo until you have taken out the sniper who is laying under the 
plane on the runway (you can reach him even if you're directly against the 
tanker truck). Once you're sure he's down, and all three teams are ready, call 
Bravo.

Turn right and head up the stairs. Go all the way to the end of the hall and 
take out the sniper in that last room. After you do so, exit the building the 
same way you came. Cross through the small room again to go back to the east 
parking lot. When you come to the corner of the building on your left, SATS-
stand around it. When it's clear, move east and go north around the ambulance. 
When you reach the second ambulance, SATS-stand around that. Now, enemies will 
probably be in all directions, so aim quickly and accurately; try to take down 
everyone on the runway using only one smoke grenade. When it seems clear, move 
north and go behind the short steel crates. Go prone and snipe until Charlie, 
facing the general direction of the alley.

RED:
On Bravo, move forward and go toward the security checkpoint of the terminal. 
Clear the smaller rooms to the west, then enter the hallway with the staircase. 
Hold for Charlie before actually coming to the staircase.

GREEN:
On Bravo, go into the terminal the same way Red did. However, instead of 
turning left, go straight through the crooked hallway. Clear the small office 
and then go into the hallway in front of the bathrooms. Turn right, then left, 
and right again. If you're at the right place, you'll be standing in front of a 
door that leads to a bigger office. Enter and clear it, then exit out the west 
door into that hallway. Follow that around and turn left. You'll probably see 
Red, either holding for Charlie or almost there. Turn left and go up the stairs 
to the second floor. Once you're on the second floor, turn right, then left, 
and go into the room that is closest to the runway. Clear it and go into the L-
shaped hallway. From there, enter the room where the hostages were the first 
time you came here. Clear that room, then exit out onto the balcony. Slide down 
the ladder and wait for Charlie between the dumpster and the corner of the 
building leading to the alleyway.

RED:
When all three teams are in position, make sure Gold has no targets to snipe, 
then call Charlie. You're going to be running for this entire step. Exit the 
building through the closest door (the one closest to the alley). Run all the 
way across the runway and, when you turn the corner south toward the 
ambulances, wait for Alpha a good distance from the door.

GREEN:
On Charlie, go through the alley at a normal speed. You'll probably see Red 
running past; just ignore them. Turn right twice, enter the hangar, and go into 
the hallway. Take the first door on your left and wait for Alpha in the middle 
of the office, facing the door that leads to the hangar proper.

GOLD:
Like Red, you'll be sprinting through this whole step. As soon as you hear 
Charlie, sprint to the same door that Green will take into the hangar. You will 
probably see Red go past you and you'll probably beat Green into the hangar. 
Either way, once you're inside, slow down to a normal speed and walk to the end 
of the hallway. Head up the stairs, turn right, and go through the second door 
on your right, into the room with the glass window. Take out the tango inside 
the room and blow out the panes of glass. SATS-stand the room and snipe into 
the hangar. Snipe here until Alpha, but feel free to make as much noise as you 
want. With any luck, terrorists will think they can come upstairs after you. 
However, as they try, Green will blow them away.

RED:
When all teams are ready for Alpha, wait a bit until Gold and Green have taken 
out as many tangos as they can. Call Alpha when you're satisfied and throw a 
smoke grenade next to the eastern door of the hangar. Crouch and move 
cautiously to that door; by the time you get there, the grenade will have 
saturated. Enter the door and turn right. Go as far as you can and go around 
the dividing wall. Duck under the starboard wing of the plane and continue 
south. Loop around the forklift and go under the tail of the plane. Head back 
to the door you took to get in here, but approach it from the south since you 
already cleared the north.

GREEN:
On Alpha, throw a smoke grenade at the door leading into the hangar. It will 
not have time to saturate before you start moving, but it will provide enough 
of a distraction to help keep you alive. Go through the door and turn left. 
Exit the tiny room and go around the small dividing wall. Go under the port 
wing of the plane and continue all the way south. Clear the storeroom at the 
south end of the hangar.

GOLD:
If Red and Green finish their routes and have not taken everybody out, check to 
see if you can snipe someone from your position. If you can't, go downstairs 
into the office where Green waited for Alpha, and go through their door into 
the hangar. Turn right instead of left and sweep the hangar one more time.

Operation: Whisper Blade
February 4, 2007 @ 1100
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Intel has recovered a notebook kept by the agent who was killed before the last 
mission. It has an address where Gospic's people have been building a parade 
float. It also has the time the float will be sent into the parade and the fact 
that Gutierrez will be in the vicinity. Every year, Gospic sponsors such a 
float in the Festas Juninas parade. So what we've got is Gospic's float in the 
streets with a whole bunch of people and a blistering agent when we know he 
possessed aerosol equipment. It doesn't take Jack Bauer to figure out what's 
going on.

The parade float may have left the garage already, but even if it has, the 
garage should have plenty of clues, and we can grab Gutierrez while we're 
there.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

The garage is very tight with little cover and a crapload of tangos. Gutierrez 
must be captured alive, so you can't just run through shooting randomly. 
Luckily, he is always in the same room. The other major problem comes from the 
terrorists' placement. Most of them are in groups and can cover doors very 
easily. I found that the most effective strategy is to SATS the hell out of it, 
so that's what we're going to be doing.

Oh, by the way, I redefine the term "sniper team" here. You'll see it in a 
couple sections.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Green will do most of the clearing. They will hit almost every room and will be 
solely responsible for Gutierrez's capture. Red, though technically the lead 
team, will be playing a strictly supporting role. Gold will not be 
participating this time.

<<SPECIAL NOTES>>
This mission needs to be run and described a little differently than my 
previous ones. As you've probably noticed, throughout this guide I've been 
giving team instructions go-code by go-code. The beginning of this mission, 
however, will not be that formal. Also, because of the number of smoke grenades 
that are going to be thrown here, you must always know how many your current 
sniper has. Between fire fights, switch to the next sniper (using the Page Up 
or Page Down keys) if the current sniper has run out. Also feel free to use 
more smoke grenades than I mention if you're not as good with SATSing yet.

I know these circumstances are a bit strange, but bear with me because this is 
the only mission like this.
<<END SPECIAL NOTES>>

GREEN:
Start at the front of the insertion zone and walk out into the alley. Turn 
right and, as you approach the barrels, throw a smoke grenade or two in the gap 
in the fence. Go through that gap, turn right, and enter the building. Take out 
anyone you initially see, then throw a smoke grenade at the intersection of the 
hallways. Go down your hallway and turn left twice. There will be at least one 
tango after you make that turn. After you take him out, wait for Alpha.

RED:
Start beside Green and stay crouched. Slowly walk into the alleyway to the left 
of Green. Don't go through the gap in the fence until the smoke grenade has 
saturated. Once it does, go through the gap and turn left. Move to the end of 
the alley and enter the building from that door. Turn right enough so you can 
see into the next room and hold for Alpha.

GREEN:
When both teams are ready, call Alpha. Your smoke grenade should still be 
active, but throw another one at the same place. Walk into the middle of all 
the smoke and turn left. SATS-stand into the repair/maintenance garage.

RED:
On Alpha, head into the room with the bathrooms. Go around the corner and go 
into the same garage into which Green is SATSing. Go around the dividing wall 
and head into the door that leads to the storage room adjacent to the garage. 
Clear and continue through this room and go through the door at the end of it. 
If you're in the right place, you'll only be a few feet from where Green held 
for Alpha. Go forward into the door which sits at the intersection of all the 
hallways. Go into that small office and wait for Bravo.

GREEN:
As you just read, Red is coming into here, so make sure you SATS quickly. Once 
you're satisfied, or once you see Red (whichever comes first), stop SATSing and 
move forward. Go through the garage, heading south. When you get to the beige 
car, throw a smoke grenade into the open door at the south end of the garage. 
Once it saturates, go to it and SATS-stand facing left. If the double doors are 
closed, quickly run forward, open up one of them, and run back to the smoke. 
Once it's clear initially, go into this room (it has another beige car in the 
center of it). Make sure this room and all of its open-doored adjacent rooms 
are clear. 

Once they are, go back the way you came. Go into the first garage, and continue 
back north. Throw a smoke grenade at the corner of the hallway that leads from 
the bigger garage to the cafeteria. SATS-stand the hallway. Once it's clear, 
move forward and take the first right, into the cafeteria. Go through the 
cafeteria, turn left, and go into the tiny room that connects the cafeteria to 
the locker room. Throw a smoke grenade into the far, large opening connecting 
the locker room to the second storage room. Enter the locker room carefully, 
because sometimes there's a tango waiting to pounce. Once you're in the locker 
room, SATS-stand into the second storage room, using the smoke grenade you just 
threw. Enter the storage room, crouch, and move to the west-most door. Wait for 
Charlie in front of it, then call Bravo.

RED:
On Bravo, exit the room that you're in. Run full speed to the locker room; by 
now Green has cleared out anyone in your way. Once you're in the locker room, 
crouch down. Slowly walk to the eastern door of the storage room and wait for 
Charlie.

Call Charlie once you're ready. Enter the adjacent maintenance room at a normal 
speed. Stick to the left of the pillars and testing equipment. Turn left when 
you reach the wall, but don't take more than a couple steps before holding for 
Alpha.

GREEN:
On Charlie, enter the maintenance room with Red. Stick to the right of the 
pillars and testing equipment, and exit out the doors that lead outside. (Be 
careful when you open these doors, as there could be a tango waiting to jump 
you.) You should be at the cab of a long semi-truck. Switch to a sniper in your 
team who has a full six smoke grenades, if you haven't already. Move along the 
semi-truck and when you're about half way along its trailer, throw FOUR smoke 
grenades past the end of the trailer: two to the left and two to the right. By 
the time you throw the fourth one, the first one should be fully saturated. Run 
to the middle of your four smoke grenades and look left, into the room by which 
Red is holding. There will be one (and only one) enemy in this room.

Once he's taken out, face back out into the parking lot. There will be a large 
number of tangos out there, upwards of six to eight. You have to snipe these 
guys quickly or you may have to throw another grenade. However, if you're quick 
and accurate, you should be able to do this before you are revealed. Once 
they're down, throw another smoke grenade at the corner of the semi-truck, and 
step up into it. SATS-stand here and face right. There will be at least one 
(probably two) tangos that you could not see from your previous spot. Once the 
entire parking lot is clear, call Alpha.

(In my downloadable plan, Green has an Alpha here. Typically when I run this 
mission, this part is so precise that I put the Alpha there simply to remind 
myself to call it.)

Once you're done, go through the parking lot and open the door that leads back 
into the building. As soon as you open the door, throw a smoke grenade inside 
it. Once it saturates, turn right and open the double doors that lead to the 
showroom. SATS-stand into the showroom, but don't actually go into the showroom 
until Bravo.

RED:
On Alpha, go through the small room that had the sole tango in it and exit to 
the outside. Crouch down and slowly walk through the parking lot, following 
Green. Re-enter the building through the same door they do, but make sure the 
smoke grenade is fully saturated first. Continue through the couple tiny 
hallways and go to the room with the beige car that Green cleared fairly early 
on. Go through this room and into the small hall that connects it to the 
showroom. Set a breech on one of the double doors and wait for Bravo.

When you're ready, call Bravo and breech your door. Enter the showroom and bear 
left. Clear both offices, but make sure you enter them both from the side 
opposite the display cars. Once you're done, head up the stairs closest to you, 
but do not enter the conference room.

GREEN:
On Bravo, go into the showroom. Throw a smoke grenade at your feet and snipe up 
and left. Take out anyone you can on the walkway, but note that you will 
probably not take out everyone who is up there. SATS as much as you can, and 
then ascend the stairs closest to you (the opposite set of Red). Carefully go 
upstairs because, as I said, there will probably be a few tangos up there that 
you couldn't snipe. Clear the landing and throw a smoke grenade next to the 
double doors leading into the conference room.

Open the door to the conference room and snipe into it. You will see one man in 
there who does not have a weapon. Do NOT shoot him: that is Gutierrez. There 
are, however, two armed enemies in that room. You can take out the first from 
where you're standing, but to take out the second, you'll have to go into the 
room and turn right quickly. If the smoke grenade can't cover you when you go 
into the room, set the Vintorez on full-auto and just turn the corner with the 
trigger pulled. Once both terrorists are down, go up and cuff Gutierrez.

It's almost impossible to miss any tangos following those steps.

||18. MISSION 15||
|+--------------+|
+----------------+

Operation: Steel Rose
February 4, 2007 @ 1800
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

+-----+
|Story|
+-----+

Gutierrez has sold out Gospic in order to get a little leniency on his 
sentencing. Gutierrez provided the following information:

The float with the blistering agent has been located. It's at a side street, 
getting ready to start the parade. Because Rainbow has already taken Gospic's 
aerosol equipment, he's set up an alternate distribution method. He simply 
attached a bomb to the middle of his float and will set it off when the float 
is in the middle of the street. The worst case scenario is that this will 
actually work, spreading the blistering agent over half the city. The best case 
scenario is that is simply kills everyone in the middle of the street. 
Obviously we don't want either one to happen. Gospic is here, too, but unlike 
Gutierrez in the last mission, Gospic is fair game. When you see him, take him 
out.

+----------------+
|Situation Report|
+----------------+

This area is composed of two buildings and a side street between them. The 
parade float and bomb attached to it are in the middle of the street. Both 
buildings have snipers who are overlooking the street. Gospic is located on the 
rooftop of the second building, so he will probably be seen last. Resistance is 
heavy, so you'll need to bring all your skills to the table.

The bomb must be activated manually, so a tango will actually have to get to 
the street and press a button on it, killing himself in the process. The 
enemies don't require much motivation to go after it. In fact, if any on the 
street hear the rooftop snipers firing, that might be enough to send them 
toward it and set it off.

+----------------+
|Overall Strategy|
+----------------+

Gold will take out all the snipers. When the street is safe, Red will 
temporarily guard the bomb but will not disarm it. The street is too large for 
them to try to disarm it prematurely. All three teams will eventually rush the 
street together, securing the bomb and clearing the street at the same time. 
Gold will make a pre-emptive strike on the second building, which will then be 
hit by Red and Green. Gold will do nothing while Red and Green clear the second 
building, floor by floor.

|Team Strategy|

GREEN:
Start in the eastern insertion zone. Immediately throw a smoke grenade at the 
end of the alley. Creep over to it, stand in the middle of it, and wait for 
Alpha.

GOLD:
Start at the back of the western insertion zone. Throw a smoke grenade around 
the corner, then crouch. Head forward and sidestep left until you are on the 
left of the third pillar. Snipe there until Charlie.

RED:
Start at the front of the western insertion zone. Throw a smoke grenade to the 
west. Between your smoke grenade and Gold's, the area should be extremely 
obscured. Creep to the left and, when you reach your smoke grenade, throw 
another one at the opening connecting the outdoor tables and chairs to the 
marketplace. Continue north to the door past the tables and chairs. Enter this 
room and ascend the stairs. Exit out the door at the top and turn left to go 
into the first building. Turn left once you're through the door and turn right 
immediately after to head down the spiral stairs. Hold for Alpha before you get 
to the locked door.

GOLD:
THE INSTANT Red is ready for Alpha, call Charlie. Sprint to the door that Red 
took past the tables and chairs. Climb the stairs but turn right where they 
turned left. Hit R to tell your ally to stay where he is, and then climb the 
ladder to the rooftop of the first building. Crouch as soon as you're up the 
ladder. Throw a smoke grenade in the distance beside the antenna. Once it 
saturates, run up to it and throw another smoke grenade between the antenna and 
the wooden sign, then SATS-crouch across the street. Try to pick off as many 
snipers as you can (there will usually be one to three). When you have, use the 
second smoke grenade you threw as cover and run behind the wooden sign. When 
you get to the end of it, toss a smoke grenade between the sign and the eastern 
antenna. When it saturates, SATS-stand, facing toward the street again. By now 
more snipers may be in view on the rooftop or you may see some in the third-
story windows. Take out as many as you can but try not to stay too long. Once 
you think it's safe, call Alpha.

RED:
On Alpha, run to the locked door, pick the lock, and take no more than a few 
steps outside. Wait for Bravo in a position where you can cover the bomb. This 
way, if any tango attempts to go to it to set it off, Red can take them out.

GREEN:
On Alpha, go into the marketplace. Head forward to the black SUV. Wait beside 
it for Bravo.

GOLD:
After you call Alpha, head back down to where your teammate is waiting for you. 
Go into the first building the same way Red did, but turn right toward the 
center of the building. Throw a smoke grenade into the corner of the hall and 
SATS-stand around it. (On the Recruit difficulty setting, there's a sniper 
across the street through the windows that you can pick off. However, I never 
saw him appear on the Veteran difficulty. Still, you should be SATSing this 
part just in case.) Go into the rooms in the building. You will have probably 
only one tango still alive there. Take him out, then carefully open the door 
into the hallway. There is a patrolling tango in the hallway, either just 
outside the door or around the corner. Either way, take him out and descend the 
stairs on the east side. When you get to the bottom of the stairs, you'll be by 
a door which is very close to the black SUV that Green is waiting beside. Hold 
for Bravo at the door and reload as necessary.

GREEN:
When all three teams are ready for it, call Bravo. Run out into the street and 
run between the float with the bomb and the float on the opposite side of the 
bomb. Once you pass between the floats, throw a smoke grenade to the left 
between the bomb and the alley leading to the side of the second building. 
Continue forward to the double doors and wait there for Charlie.

RED:
On Bravo, go west to the end of the street. Circle around the westernmost float 
and go back to the bomb. By the time you get there, Green's smoke grenade 
should be making you invisible to the alley. Disarm the bomb, then go toward 
the double doors that Green is waiting at. Wait by the eastern float for 
Charlie. (Don't wait for Charlie AT the doors; you need to be a fair distance 
from them.)

GOLD:
On Bravo, go through the door and turn right. Pass the black SUV and turn 
right. Loop west around the easternmost float. Walk on along the street between 
the floats and the second building. Go to the alley; by the time you get there, 
Green's smoke grenade should be fully saturated. Use it to SATS-stand into the 
alley: there will be one tango at the end of the alley near the side door. Go 
to the end of the alley, put a smoke grenade at the bottom of the side door, 
and SATS-stand into the casino. When you stop hearing the smoke grenade hiss, 
or you simply start to feel uncomfortable, feel free to throw another one. 
(Because you're in light armor, you'll be down in a flash if you're spotted.) 
Continue SATSing until Charlie.

Call Charlie when you've taken out everyone you can. Go into the casino and 
head to the southeast door, the one that leads to the room behind the desk. 
Once it's clear, exit the casino and go back up to the rooftop of the first 
building. Snipe toward the rooftop of the second building for the rest of the 
mission. (You probably won't be able to take anyone out like this, but it's 
better safe than sorry.)

GREEN:
On Charlie, open the front door of the hotel/casino and bang the lobby. Enter 
and clear it, then go left and hold for Alpha on the second landing in the 
stair tower.

RED:
On Charlie, follow Green after their flashbang goes off. Go through the lobby 
and go into the casino. Head to the northeast tower of stairs and, like Green, 
hold for Alpha on the second landing.

RED & GREEN:
Call Alpha when both teams are ready. Have Red clear out the northern rooms of 
the second floor while Green clears out the southern rooms at the same time. 
When both teams are done, they should return to their respective stairs, go up 
two landings, and wait for Bravo.

Call Bravo when both teams are ready for it. Again, Green takes care of the 
southern rooms while Red takes care of the northern rooms. No matter how 
tempted you may be, do NOT fire upward through the skylight. If you do, enemies 
on the rooftop will start to come after you. Although Gold might be able to get 
a couple, this really does just make things too complicated. The computer AI, 
as far as I know, never fires up unless fired upon first, which almost never 
happens. In any event, once that floor is clear, have both teams go to their 
respective stairs and go all the way up. When they are by the doors, both teams 
wait for Charlie.

When both teams are ready, call Charlie. Green will clear the south side of the 
rooftop while Red clears the north side. Gospic is up here somewhere, but he's 
no more special than an ordinary terrorist, so just take him down.

If any enemies were missed, they were probably somewhere in the hotel. They'll 
probably come up after Red or Green, but Gold can go after them if they choose.

|18a. The Ending|
+---------------+

The game ends with John Clark interrogating Gutierrez with the Rainbow team 
watching. Gutierrez spills the whole plan. Most of it Intel and Kevin Sweeny 
have already figured out, but I'll recap it here, too.

Sicic and Gospic (under a different name) stole money during World War II. When 
news broke that Sicic was caught and going to be deported, Gospic panicked, 
thinking that his cover would be blown. When the initial terrorist strikes 
happened and Sicic was not released, Gospic started putting the stolen money 
toward reviving the Nazis on a global scale. He contacted Gutierrez to get 
political protection in return for large amounts of money. Gospic got the 
chemical weapons, planning to use them to kill a lot of people, especially in 
the Venezuelan oil companies. This would drive down the economy, making those 
oil companies very cheap to purchase. He could then send his own people to buy 
them up and send the profits into the same revived Nazi fund.

As Gutierrez says, the plan doesn't matter now because Gospic is dead and 
Gutierrez is on his way to getting a human booster shot by a guy named Molly 
(thanks, Family Guy!).
