This mission, you are to swim around in organism infested waters while you find your objectives. (no, not the Hudson River) You clear three islands and capture a Russian commanding officer.

Mission Objectives

Clear west island
Clear north island
Clear east island
X. Capture Russian officer

There is a lot of thick fog here, so it will be difficult to see. The smartest thing to do is to get into a defensive position and only move when it is all clear. Alpha and Bravo should be able to easily set up crossfire as long as the enemy is not too close. You can sometimes detect the enemy's thermal reading if you change to night vision. Use the swamp to your advantage and keep your men covered. No one can creep up on you in the water. You can effortlessly move past enemies in the center of the map. Patience is your greatest tool here.

Island East

Go to the eastern island first because there are twelve enemies there, and it is only smart to fight them when you can take them by surprise. The primary force of the enemy's eastern patrols spans the south part of the island. They have set up two bunkers to keep you from going to their main camp. Go west as far as the land lasts, which is not long. You soon see a fallen tree on the western border of the land. There are three enemies patrolling here, and they are not expecting any company, so you should be able to take them down without problems.

Take a dive into the swamp and go northwest. There is a white light coming from a barrel fire in the west. Go to it and get on the land west of it. Have Alpha and Bravo crouch on the top of the hill and wait to attack. Four enemies come through first. Get rid of them fast because they like to send grenades. Next, three soldiers come through from the north. When the first patrol is defeated, send Alpha and Bravo out to either coast to attempt to trap the second patrol.

The North Island

Go into a trap to stay away from four enemies. There are four Russians skulk between the graveyard and the northern access road that leads to the north island. If you go northeast, you can avoid them, but you have to go through treacherous swamp, and past a machine gunner. Good thing is, he is not paying much attention, so you can go right up to him. Use a rifleman on a semi-automatic or a support's M249.

The remainder of the island is basically murderers. They will also be dressed like your sniper, and there are seven of them. Expand your teams across the terrain to get the job done. The enemy comes to you, so you are soon finished with objective number two.

The Capture

The Russian commander's house is located in the center of the map, in the bog. The house is kept safe by six bodyguards. Three have machine guns and three have grenade launchers. Move toward the house from the northwest, and go to the front door on the bottom floor. Change to a soldier that has a power weapon, such as the M249 on fully automatic. Sneak up to the door, go inside, fill the room with gunfire, and leave. Do the same thing again until everyone is down.

There are sometimes five guards downstairs and one upstairs. This guy comes downstairs and shoots you from behind. At other times, there are four guards downstairs and two upstairs.

Go north from the commander's house. Stay away from the eastern island because you need to stay away from the enemy. Go northwest when you get to the swamp area. This area is empty, but there are plenty of enemies at the top of the hill in the enemy camp. Send Alpha up the hill, and lay flat on the ground when you get near the top. Put Bravo between some trees where they can see the camp from the lower side.

Alpha will shoot first because it has a good shot if you followed directions. The enemies go right in front of Bravo on their way to Alpha. Sometimes enemies sneak up from the left with grenades, so Alpha should be on the lookout. There are three groups of four all over the island, so fight until the end. After things get quiet, have Alpha and Bravo search the area for anyone that was not defeated. do not forget about the hidden bunkers in the south part. Those enemies can snipe you easily.
