2.2 MS2 HISTORY
Jarhead Games is one of the developers that specialize in budget
games, basically $29.99 or less. They use the commercially
available Lithtech engine and churns out one or two games a year,
compare to a multi-year game development cycle for a AAA-title.
As the name Jarhead implies, they specialize in military
shooters, though they did make a Western shooter.
One of their titles made with the Lithtech Engine was "CTU:
Marine Sharpshooter". As a part of the elite counter terrorist
unit CTU, you are tasked with your spotter to investigate some
local warlords in Afghanistan, but you ran into some mercenaries
buying what appears to be radioactive material from the warlord!
You then have to chase down this threat to the free world as you
travel to Chechnya and later, an "abandoned" Pacific island.
A sequel with more realistic setting was created with the next
generation Lithtech engine. That is Marine Sharpshooter II:
Jungle Warfare.
2.3 GENERAL MS2 BACKGROUND
You are a part of marine scout / recon sharpshooter team assigned
to a US Navy task force just off the coast of Burundi on a UN
peacekeeping mission. The local rebels, known as FLN, in a
lightning strike, has kidnapped the president of Burundi and
three cabinet ministers. The government was the only thing
keeping the violence in check between the Tutsi and Hutu, who had
a long history of violence against each other. With the
disappearance of the government leaders, it is feared that
Burundi will soon tear itself apart. UN forces are moving in to
attempt to stave off the rebellion, but the officials must be
recovered as soon as possible. You are being sent in to locate
the kidnap victims for UN forces to rescue.

2.5 HOW DOES THIS GAME PLAY?
It's basically a first-person military shooter with a spotter
buddy, who will engage enemies who get too close, guard your
back, and such. He'll also use tracers to point out enemies for
you if you let him, but you will have to do most of the shooting.
You will go through some of the densest jungles in Africa, an
African village reminiscent of Mogadishu, the flat desert
terrain, and even a bit of caves, in order to derail a plot that
can plunge a country into civil war.
In some missions you encounter civilians. Do not shoot them. If
you kill one you fail the mission.
You may also run into booby traps. Shoot them to disable them.
You may also see minefields. Those must be avoided.
If either of you die, the mission's over.
2.6 BUGS AND FIXES
The game is very stable and never crashed even once on my test
computer.
2.7 EXPANSION PACKS? SEQUELS? RELATED TITLES?
MS2 is itself a sequel. No further sequels are planned.
2.8 SOME COMMON SUPPORT ISSUES
You can save any time, any where. However, the total number of
savegames is limited. Just overwrite old ones.
3 Your weapons and equipment
They are organized by the game into several categories. Remember
these are normal marine equipment.
3.1 KNIFE
Everybody carries one. Spec ops guys usually have theirs
darkened, and could be any shape. It's great for silent kills.
Sneak up behind a guard, whoosh, dead guard.
If you are wondering... It is actually smaller than the one Rambo
carried. That one would be too big and unwieldy for any one other
than Rambo.
In terms of the game... It's rare for you to get close enough to
use the knife, but sometimes, if you are prone, and enemy patrol
is right on top of you, using the knife may get rid of him
instead of rotating on the ground and trying to shoot him.
3.2 M9 PISTOL
Your pistol is good for close combat, but lacks the range or
firepower of the other weapons. However, it can be equipped with
a silencer for silent kills, which makes it very useful for
picking off enemies one at a time.
Right-click to equip/unequip the silencer. You really should
always leave it on. In fact, at start of every mission, put it on
first.
Holds 15 rounds, fast reload, fast firing rate. In fact, you'd be
tempted to use it so much, you may even run out of ammo for it.
So try to save it for close-range work.
Get close, then one shot to the head. Or carefully use it from
further as a silent sniper weapon, again, to the head. As they
can't hear the shot, they can't dodge. Unless you make a non-
lethal hit.
3.3 SNIPER RIFLE
You actually get different ones depending on which mission you're
on.
3.3.1 M40A1
This initial version of the M40 sniper rifle holds 5 shots, and
it's quite slow to reload as individual rounds must be fed. The
good thing is you only use it for the first mission. Keep it
fully fed as much as possible. You don't want to run out of shots
while engaging. Crouch/prone while reloading.
3.3.2 M40A3
This improved version of M40 holds 7 shots, and can be reloaded
from a magazine, which makes reloading much faster.
3.3.3 M82A1
Only available in the last mission, this is a very long-range
rifle that holds 10 shots, but can only be deployed while prone.
It's simply TOO HEAVY to be fired off your shoulder. And it is
available in addition to your normal M40A3. It has a very fast
firing rate, being semi-auto, and it is also magazine-fed, making
reload very fast as well.
You only have a few rounds for it, so reserve it for "special
occasions", such as extremely long-range shooting against a group
of enemies.
3.4 LASER DESIGNATOR
In two missions, you will need to use the laser designator to
call in some artillery or air strikes to level some targets. Just
choose it, then view through it, and click on the target you need
to pick out.
3.5 OTHER EQUIPMENT
Use night vision. It's necessary in most of the levels.
4 Various Tactics
4.1 SHOOT FROM AS FAR AS POSSIBLE
You can get hits from as far as 800 meters away. Thus, there is
no need to get any closer unless terrain prevents you from
shooting afar.
4.2 KEEP YOUR GUN FULLY LOADED
You don't want to run out at the wrong time. Reloading while
enemy is still shooting at you is bad, very bad. Crouch or go
prone while reloading.
4.3 LISTEN FOR CLOSE HITS
If you hear bullets slapping the ground near you, FIND SOME COVER
QUICKLY! Someone has seen you and is firing at you! Find some
cover, then displace laterally, THEN peek back out and locate the
threat.
Use the "lean" keys to lean out from cover to spot enemies.
4.4 ALMOST ALWAYS CROUCH, SOMETIMES PRONE
Crouch gives you almost the same forward speed as stand-up run,
but much stealthier.
Only stand up if you need to peek over something, such as heavy
grass cover. Stand behind something, and use LEAN commands to
lean out and take a peek.
In dangerous areas, go prone.
4.5 TRY TO EXPOSE YOUR RIGHT ARM FIRST
If you expose your left arm first, then shoot, you may end up
shooting the wall.
4.6 USING PISTOL, MUST GET CLOSE
Preferably, close enough that you can't miss, which means
directly in the guy's path, but behind him.
There is one exception, see [4.9]
4.7 WATCH YOUR COVER METER
Try to shoot from as much cover as much as possible.
4.8 WATCH OUT FOR YOUR BUDDY, AND HE'LL WATCH OUT FOR YOU
So don't get too far from him.
4.9 USE YOUR PISTOL AS A "SILENT SNIPER"
You can get a lot of silent kills and not alert the enemy if you
aim carefully, at least on rookie level.
5 Hostile Forces and Buildings
Here's a quick summary of the forces you can encounter in MS2
5.1 MILITIA
Militia are equipped with various weapons, usually AK-47/74 and
similar weapons. Some are equipped with pistols.
Occasionally you may run into one with RPG. Engage those first as
they can kill you with one shot.
5.2 MERCENARIES
Usually have better gear, and are more aggressive, may have body
armor.
Sometimes one or two may have RPG as well. Engage RPG guys first.
6 Campaign Walkthru
Rebels have attacked capital of Burundi and have kidnapped the
president and his ministers. UN and US are getting involved, and
first priority is to rescue the president and the ministers.
6.1 MISSION 1: INFILTRATION
6.1.1 Level 1: The Search Begins
Cutscene: The Blackhawk lands and drops you two off in the
landing zone. And disappears into the sky. You are on your own.
Your partner says to get out of the area in case rebels
investigate. Follow the waypoints as outlined in your GPS. Your
spotter will also recommend staying off the main path as you
proceed. Advance slowly until you see a three-man patrol coming
towards you. Stay in cover, and snipe them. Continue until your
spotter state that something is not right. There is an ambush
ahead: either trigger it by moving until they shoot at you, or
stay in cover, and look at each and every branch and bush
carefully. You should be able to spot two enemies hiding behind
bushes. Take them out.
Continue down the trail and your spotter will spot a camp. Try to
stay on left side of the path, as it gives you the high ground so
you can shoot downward into the camp. There are two rebels on
foot and a sniper in the trees. Shoot them all. (The sniper can
be difficult to spot. You can locate him by looking for his
muzzle flash.) Once camp is cleared, move in to pick up ammo box
and medikit that are sitting in front of the tent.
Continuing to the next waypoint, and the path splits. Your
spotter will recommend following the riverbed. Jump into the
water and look for two enemies at the head of this river. Pick
the two guys off from a distance and slowly walk towards their
corpses. As you advance you'll notice a three-man patrol on the
river, so take them out. Scope the waterfall and take out the two
enemies near your next waypoint. Your spotter will tell you to
"wait here". He will then run up to the waterfall and tell you
that he has found something. Go to where your spotter is standing
and look at the ground directly in front of him - there is a
piece of wood with a CIEE logo on it. Put the crosshair on it,
then press the "F" key to pick it up.
Follow waypoints back down the river and get back onto the path.
Continue down the trail to a group of three rebels hanging around
a log; remove them. Move past the log, and you will see four
rebels walking toward you. Take them out. Continue down the trail
and soon this level will end.
6.1.2 level 1b: above the falls
Follow the trail, but pay attention to the ridge on your left.
You should see two rebels a few feet apart crouched up there.
Hide in the grass and shoot them both. Continue, kill a rebel
running toward you. The path will turn left and slope up. When
the ground levels out, your partner will warn you about a sniper.
Counter-snipe him by looking for the muzzle flash.
Stay in the grass and continue down the trail. You should run
into a 4-man patrol. Take them out. Keep going, and your spotter
will spot a camp with five hostiles, and he recommends that you
go around. You could, but why? Find proper cover (preferably
behind a tree or bush) and take the rebels out. Claim 2 medikits
and one ammo pack in the camp.
Continue across the river, and you'll get a radio message about
large group of enemies approaching from the north. Go hide at the
side of the trail. Six rebels will approach. Kill them or let
them pass, it's up to you. Continue down the trail, and it will
turn right and go higher, to the top of the cliff.
Stay in the grass, and you'll find 3 rebels. One will run as soon
as you get close enough, the other two are oblivious. Try to kill
the runner first, but it really doesn't matter that much. If the
runner get away, he'll warn a group of rebels up ahead, then you
have to kill like 5-6 that rushes you from further down the
trail, but otherwise not that big of a deal. If you took out the
runner, then you can deal with the enemies in smaller groups,
rather than all of them rushing you together.
Continue across the bridge to end the level.
6.1.3 level 2: we're not alone
Your spotter runs off so you can look for enemies yourself for a
little while.
Continue toward first waypoint, and you should see a rebel in the
water to your slight right. He has partner, so be careful here.
Kill both.
EASTER EGG: Standing in the water, facing the waterfall, look at
the rocks, and you should see a log with a bull's-eye between the
2nd and 3rd rock from the left. Shoot it to trigger the surprise.
Continue following the waypoints until your spotter shows you
this camp in a cutscene.
Once the cut scene is over, move up to your spotter along the
left and start taking out the two enemies at the tree. You should
still see them while crouched, and your cover meter should be
full if you move close enough to the bush. Two more will run out
from the bush as soon as you fire your weapon. Take them out too.
Finally, wait for a final guy to come out, or go in after him.
Beware of a patrol up and down the mountain path that may engage
you if you take too long to engage the camp. Collect the medikit
and ammo pack in the camp.
Go back to the trail and move up the mountain. If you haven't
dealt with the one-man patrol, you will now. Go up the trail, and
at the top you'll find two hostiles, take them out. One more is
hiding behind a bush. Remove him.
Continue to next waypoint, and you'll find a few rebels sitting
next to a fire. Take them all out before they come after you.
Watch for another hostile coming up behind you. Head for the
fire, and you should see another group of three in the distance.
Get into cover and take them out.
Stay to the left side of the trail as there's more cover there.
Continue to a small rebel camp, take out the three hostiles, and
collect medikit and ammo pack. Continue to next waypoint, kill
two more rebels. You'll reach a downslope, and spot a few more
rebels in the distance. Take them out.
You are approaching another bridge as you follow the waypoints,
and the trail starts to narrow. Take out another 3-man group,
then one rebel on the other side of the bridge. Go across, and
two rebels will be standing next to the shore. Take them out, and
your spotter will run to the shoreline. He said to follow the
lakeshore.
Turn left and follow the lakeshore, and an enemy outboard will
approach. You can shoot the three rebels on it if you want, but
it doesn't matter, as you'll see them again soon. You'll see two
more rebels in the distance, take them out. The outboard will be
to your right as you continue, so kill the occupants if you
haven't already. Continue up the path and get back onto dry land.
There should be a medikit there.
Your spotter spots more tracks. follow the path into the forest.
Spot two rebels in the distance, so remove them. Continue, and
you'll come across a small stream, with 4 rebels. Take them out.
Continue to a seemingly empty camp. Grab the two medikit and one
ammo pack, and follow waypoint to the two smaller tents, but
switch to pistol. As you reach the waypoint, the ambush was
sprung. Your spotter says to run for the ridge. You need to kill
four attackers, then another few (6?) at the camp that looked
empty before.
Once that's done, follow the waypoint, and the next level will
soon start.
6.1.4 Level 3A: Danger nears
It is dark and raining. Turn on your night vision to compensate.
Follow waypoints up the small hill to a camp, and remove four
rebels. Continue down the trail, following waypoints down the
hill to two more rebels standing around a canopy. Kill them and
collect two medikit.
Go up another small hill, and remove two rebels further ahead.
Take them out and keep following the waypoints. Continue and take
out another rebel to the left. Your spotter will tell you that
there's another camp ahead. You may want to go left for higher
ground. Near the plane wreck are four rebels, remove them, and
get into the camp. You should find a medikit and an ammo pack. In
the back of the plane wreck is another medikit.
Continue, and your spotter will warn you there's someone in the
trees. and true enough, you'll get shot at! Return fire, and kill
the sniper. Another rebel further down will run toward you, so
take him out too.
Get to top of the hill, and you'll spot another rebel camp. Set
your spotter to engage after you take out the first guy, and
shoot all rebels in the camp, should be four or five of them.
Collect medikit and ammo pack in the camp.
Continue down the trail, remove two more rebels patrolling.
Continue until you get shot at by an enemy sniper. Return fire at
his muzzle flash. Follow the trail, but move slowly. Make sure
your spotter is right behind you. He'll tell you to stop. You
almost hit a tripwire mine! Get back, really back, and shoot the
mine's tripwire from a distance. Boom!
Continue down the trail and this level will end.
6.1.5 Level 3b: Resistance grows
Look for a guy with RPG in the distance, take him out quickly or
eat RPG (it's NOT pleasant!). Continue to his spot, and you
should see more rebels ahead, some are in bushes, others are in
the open. Remove them. Continue down the path, and Mother Hen
will warn you of rebel activity.
Continue, and stop when your spotter says that things are not
right. Look down the trail, and you'd be going up a slope. Remove
two more rebels up there, and go up there. Look down to enemy
camp, then eliminate as many tangos as you can. Should be like
six rebels. Clear the camp, and watch for another rebel coming
toward your noise from your left. Claim 2 medikits and 1 ammo
crate near the fire in the camp.
Continue down the trail. Two rebels are hiding behind bushes
further down, so get behind something if you hear bullets flying.
Look for muzzle flashes and eliminate the rebels. Continue.
You'll see a small clearing up ahead, and two more rebels past
it. Remove them. Continue, and you'll run into an ambush, with at
least one sniper in the trees, and other rushing in. Let your
spotter engage, while you crouch, shoot, and displace. Remove all
the threats, and you can continue.
Continue down the path, eliminate a few rebels as you see them.
Continue to a small river crossing with a tent, and eliminate
rebel on the far side. Continue to following the path. One rebels
may be hiding in a bush. Remove him. Continue to a small camp
with 2 tents and 2 rebels, remove them. Claim 2 medikit and 1
ammo crate as your reward. Continue slowly, don't let your buddy
lag behind. When he say stop, do so! He has spotted a bobbytrap.
A tripwire laid across the trees. Step way back, and shoot the
mine or the wire to disarm the trap. Then you can continue to
next level.
6.1.6 level 3c: Clear blue
Just as you start to move, Mother Hen radios in and informs you
of large group of rebel forces ahead. Advance slowly, as the
trail turns right. Spot three rebels and remove them. Continue
down the trail, and eliminate four more rebels. The trail is
rather restrictive, and next enemy will appear on the left, so
you may want to stick to the right. You'll see a stream in the
distance, with four more rebels. Eliminate them. Approach slowly,
as there is a sniper further down. Continue around the bend and
remove two more rebels, then the path turns left again. Remove
the rebels at that bend, continue. Stop when your spotter
mentions even more rebels ahead, may be a camp.
Continue to the waypoint, and you'll see the enemy camp. Remove
the four guards, and search the tents for two ammo crates and
three medikits.
Continue to next waypoint, but move from cover to cover, as you
will run into another sniper. Remove him. Continue, and your
spotter will remark that the jungle has really opened up.
Continue, and you'll see the main enemy camp. Find a good spot
and go prone, and start sniping at the rebels. You don't want any
to make it to the bungalows to kill the ministers while the UN
forces try to rush the camp. If all three ministers die, you
fail. The specific ones you need to kill are highlighted on the
GPS display. Kill those first. The rest are just targets of
opportunity.
When you've killed enough hostiles, the mission is complete.
However, the president is not here. The rebels have moved him
somewhere else.
6.2 MISSION 2: INFORMATION
We have no idea where the rebels may have taken the president, so
we have to take a few guesses. We are inserting you at this
village where we've spotted some unusual activity, and we believe
one of Karume's lieutenants, Abdi, may be there as well. Find
him, and see if he knows anything about the plot.
6.2.1 Level 4: Into the Cage
You start right at the village. Except it's full of rebels. And
whose bright idea was it to leave you in the middle of the dang
street, guarded by 2 towers and more machine gun nests? Any way,
shoot the two guys up in the towers, then two more running toward
you. Great, now you have to enter the darn town. Use the
buildings as cover, lean out to take a shot, then duck back.
Continue down the street. Eliminate six rebels, and the machine
gun nest. Grab 2 medikits and ammo box at the MG nest.
You should approach an intersection, use tables and buildings as
cover and shoot more rebels. Shoot any on rooftops as well. When
it's about clear (probably 6-8 rebels) continue down the road as
your GPS indicates. Take out the MG nest, continue, then take out
another MG nest. Another bunch of rebels will run out from the
side alleys. Use building as cover, lean out, and terminate them.
Also watch out for hostiles on rooftops, as they will duck back.
Head for the MG nest you emptied earlier. A jeep will approach.
Shoot the driver if you can. Another 5-6 rebels will charge you,
so take care of them. When that's done, claim 2 medikits and 2
ammo boxes from the MG nest.
Continue to next waypoint, and you're at village crossroad. and a
group of rebels will charge you from the street to the right, so
use the MG nest as cover and take them out. When complete, look
at GPS. You need to go through the next part of town. However,
going through the buildings is NOT advised as enemies can and
will surround you. Spotter will mention hostiles on rooftops. I
suggest going all the way right, and hug the right wall looking
left and engage another 6-8 rebels down the road. Remove them, as
well as the MG nest. Claim 2 medikits and 1 ammo box.
You are almost through the village, but now things get tougher.
Continue down and you'll spot another six or so rebels. Remove
them. You'll come to a road that turns left. Follow it, and
you'll reach 2 MG nests, and 2 guys with RPGs. Take out the RPG
guys first, then the MG nests. You'll get a cutscene about a
European jumping into a truck and leaves the area. Continue
following your waypoint, claim 2 medikits and an ammo box, and
follow waypoints until level ends.
6.2.2 Level 5: To catch a tiger
Cutscene: Your spotter sees this secondary camp with mine field.
But you can bypass that by taking the high ground.
Crouch and head up to the waypoint, then go prone, and get as
close as possible to the tower from up there without being seen.
Then use the pistol with silencer and silence the tower guard.
Then take out the two guys at the MG nest, then look at two
rebels, one is sitting and the other's standing. Shoot the
stander, then the sitter, who should have stood up by now. Head
down there, and collect a medikit.
Continue into the town, and your spotter should mention the
French Fort, which is to your left. Use the buildings as cover,
and slowly advance, deal with at least three guards at street
level and more snipers on top of buildings. Continue slowly, go
prone and remove more guards as you find them. Watch your back as
guards can go through alleys to get to you. You'll come to a big
left turn, but the way is blocked by junk cars and a truck. Your
informant is to the right. Go up and talk to him (hit F to
activate). He will lead you to a secret tunnel entrance. Follow
him.
Jump into the tunnel, follow it about 1/3 of way and you'll run
into two guards when the tunnel turns left. Remove them. Get the
medikit and ammo box. Continue down the tunnel and you'll come to
the concrete part of the tunnel. You're now at the fort. May want
to save now. Go prone, and use your pistol to eliminate the
guards. You should be able to remove them. Two more will run out
from the sides, but with pistol they don't know where you are, so
eliminate them too. One more guard will run inside from the far
end of the tunnel. Remove him, and you've found Abdi Hassan,
Karume's second-in-command. Continue into the bunker, and get a
cutscene.
Cutscene: your spotter "interrogates" Abdi for intel regarding
where they may have taken the president of Burundi.
Grab medikit and ammo box in corner of the room, then it's time
to get out of the place. Follow the waypoint as your spotter
calls Mother Hen for immediate dustoff. Follow the tunnel at the
other end and you'll see a ladder Climb into the courtyard.
Remove one guard at ground level, then another on the wall. Do
NOT shoot civilians! Climb the stairs to get on the wall. You may
be able to see some hostiles from up here. Shoot them. However,
look left, and climb onto the cannon platform. You need to get to
the third wall, and at least two rebels are in that other
courtyard. Continue going around and you'll find another set of
stairs down. It's hard to see, but it's there on the third wall.
Get down and turn right into the hole in the wall. Follow it and
you're outside the fort.
Continue and you'll back at the town. A truck will pull away from
the wall of junk cars, giving you a way to go through, but watch
out for the machine gun nest. Five or six rebels will also rush
you. Also watch for snipers hiding behind bushes and on rooftops
and balconies. Peek out from every corner, move down one building
at a time. You'll have a make a few twists and turns in order to
get out of this town alive. If the street turns left, go down the
right side, and vice versa, to maximize the engagement distance.
You'll come across quite a few attacking guards as you advance.
You'll see like 3 rebels / mercenaries when the street makes a
180 turn. Remove them.
Eventually you'll make your way to the watchtower. Remove the
guard on it and three others on the ground. Watch out for the
minefield, as you go through, out of the town, and reach the
arriving chopper.
6.3 MISSION 3: EXTRACTION
Cutscene: Thanks for your efforts, information regarding the
president's whereabouts has been narrowed down. You are being
sent in to scout the area.
6.3.1 Level 6a: They are not alone
Advance through the jungle (you may want to use night vision).
There are six rebels and mercenaries ahead. Move slowly and
remove them, using trees and bushes as cover. Your spotter will
lead you to a village.
Cutscene: You've found the president, but he's being moved by
Karume and some German guy!
Follow the waypoint out of the village, and you'll find a
trapdoor. Kill the guards there. Suddenly you hear fire behind
you, the village is under attack! Run back and either circle the
village, or stay in the middle and defend. Kill roughly two dozen
attackers to get the all clear.
Now you can head back to the trap door, which is now open. Jump
inside to advance to next level.
6.3.2 Level 6b: Find the Package
You are in front of a waterfall (to your left). Crouch, and move
into the water slowly. If you go under the water, look up, and
advance until you keep your head out of the water. Go to middle
of the lake and start shooting at least three guys on the
opposite shore, plus two more on your side. Swim back and advance
down your side of the lake, and cross when your spotter saw the
crossing where all the lumber block the lake. Continue and kill
any one you forgot. You'll make your way across this lake toward
your waypoint.
Continue down, and kill rebels as you find them. Use boulders as
cover. You'll come to a log with two medikits and one ammo box.
Continue and you'll run into some mercs behind bushes. Remove
them. One of the bushes hide two more medikits and one ammo pack.
Continue and you'll run into an ambush. Retreat to a more
defensible position, and shoot rebels until they stop coming.
Should be 12-15 of them.
After that, your spotter will announce that he had lost the
trail. You need to check multiple paths. If you look on the map,
you'll see like 3 paths, but you just came from the left most
one, so that leaves the one to the right, and the one to the
"middle".
You can head down the one to the right, and it's FULL of booby
traps such as tripwires, and ambushes. And eventually your
spotter will say "I don't think this is the right path". So just
don't go there.
Head down the "middle path" instead. Take down two guards, and
eventually your spotter found some fresh marks and a piece of
shirt. Another two rebels should approach, remove them as well.
You get waypoints again on the GPS. Remove all subsequent
baddies. Watch for two RPG guys up ahead. Remove them before they
have a chance to kill you. Find two medikits and one ammo box.
Continue on the path, and you'll see some shacks. Remove five or
so guards. Search the shacks for more medikits and ammo pack.
Continue to next waypoint, remove two patrols there. Continue,
and you'll get another ambush. Back up and kill four more rebels.
Continue to next waypoint, kill any additional rebels in your and
this level will come to a close.
6.3.3 Level 7a: Pulled from the fire
Look toward next waypoint, kill one rebel. Continue and you
should spot two more down the path. Kill them. You should find
two medikits and an ammo box behind one of the bushes.
Soon your spotter will alert you to an enemy sniper. Keep to the
right of the boulders until you come to a minefield. Watch for
the mines very carefully. Dark patches of grass, upraised mounds
of dirt, all means a mine is there. Don't get too close. There
are hostiles to your right, but they likely won't engage you
unless you are very careless. You'll run into a second minefield,
so watch where you step.
You'll go up a small slope, and three rebels will rush you.
Remove them. Three more rebels will attack as you reach next
waypoint, plus a sniper hiding in a bush. Hide behind a tree and
remove them all. There are two more medkits and an ammo box
hidden behind one of the bushes.
Continue down the path, and another three rebels will attack,
remove them. Your spotter will report another camp ahead, but
watch for a boobytrap tripwire. Shoot the wire to detonate the
trap. Shoot eight rebels as you circle the camp. There are two
medikits and one ammo box in the camp. The president is in one of
the tents. As you "rescue" the president, six rebels will rush
you. Engage them and eliminate them. You may want to stay inside
the tent and just lean out to take shots. When all clear, follow
the waypoint out of the camp. Grab two medikits and another ammo
box near the bushes, and continue, and next level will start.
6.3.4 Level 7b - Escape
Follow the waypoint to a tree with 3 medikits and an ammo box.
But it's an ambush. About ten rebels rush you from all
directions. Find cover and shoot back. When your spotter decided
to have a chat with the president, the ambush is done. Continue
down the path, and deal with yet ANOTHER ambush, but only six
rebels rush you this time. Collect three more medkits and an ammo
box.
Continue down the path to LZ Alpha. but you got ambushed AGAIN.
Another twelve rebels to kill. Mother Hen then radios in and have
you head for LZ Bravo, as LZ Alpha is too hot. Grab the medikits
and ammo box nearby before setting out.
Now you need to avoid mortar fire. The trick to this is. stay
AWAY from the craters. Advance and eventually you'll get out from
the mortar fire. You'll find 3 medikits and an ammo box next to a
big boulder. Rest up, and then continue.
You'll run into another ambush. Ten rebels will attack. Remove
them.
Continue, and you'll need to run through mortar fire AGAIN. Trail
will turn. And there's the evac chopper!
There are too many enemies to shoot, just run for it.
Cutscene: Karume shot the president in the back.
6.4 MISSION 4: RETRIBUTION
The president of Burundi is dead, rebels and mercenaries are all
over the country. The only hope of keeping the rebels off balance
is to kill Karume, the rebel leader. But first we have to find
him.
6.4.1 Level 8: Strike Hard
Your spotter hands over the M82A1 rifle. It's super heavy, that
it can only be used while prone, and you need to right-click to
deploy the bipod. However, it has fast firing rate and you can
take out a group of hostiles with this baby. On the other hand,
it doesn't replace your normal M40A3. So switch back and continue
to your waypoint.
Walk over the ridge and look at the guards. Take out the one in
the MG nest first, then the rest. You should see the medikit in
the camp, grab it. Continue. You may spot some patrols, remove
them. Continue.
Your spotter will tell you that you need to get over the hill,
and you should see four rebels and a jeep dropping off some more.
Snipe them. Continue. There are four more to the right next to a
parked jeep. Take them out too.
You should approach the tower soon. Take out the guy on top, and
maybe even climb the tower to use it for sniping the rest. Three
guys are under a tree by the next waypoint. As you approach, your
spotter warns you about getting close to a rebel camp. Go prone
and continue slowly, remove all of the rebels in the camp. Watch
out for a MG nest. Climb up the next watchtower, and it's a
perfect location to call in the airstrike at the target. So bring
up the designator, zoom into the camp, and "fire" to designate.
Kaboom! Come back down, and go into the demolished camp to claim
a medikit and an ammo box.
Continue along and you'll see two rebels to your left. Remove
them, and claim a medikit.
Continue moving until your spotter sees a roadblock up ahead.
Remove the rebels at the MG nests, then go up the narrow trail to
your right that heads up the hill. Beware of rebels coming down
to engage you. Get to the top of the hill and clear it. Now you
can designate the anti-aircraft batteries for demolition by fire
support. So bring up the designator and do your deed.
When complete, follow the waypoint back down (beware of any new
rebels!) and drop off the hill on the other side. Go through the
dead AA gun site and collect medikits and ammo packs. Follow the
waypoint, and a sniper ahead will shoot at you from behind a
bush. Take him out.
Continue until you see watchtowers. Remove the rebels on top, and
any MG nests. At the tower is a medikit. Go into the village, and
take out the guards. One of the huts on the right has a medikit.
It seems you're back into that town you bypassed before. Take out
3 rebels near the MG nests, then the guard in the tower. Go
through the village, removing any more rebels, as you need to get
to the tunnel entrance. Two hostiles are up at the scaffold, so
remove them. Claim a medikit and ammo box at the bottom of
scaffolding. Then walk your way up the scaffolding, one level at
a time, up to the tunnel entrance to end the level.
6.4.2 Level 9: The deepest secrets
You are now underground. Your GPS is useless, but it has inertial
guidance backup, so don't worry too much. At least it'll tell you
direction. Turn on the night vis and start working your way
through. Silent kills whenever possible.
Continue, and you should see a bunch of guards just talking.
One's to the left on top, so remove him first. Then deal with the
enemies at the bottom slowly. There's a way down on your right.
Collect medikit and ammo box. Follow waypoint to another medikit
and ammo box. Follow path into a tight tunnel, then a cutscene
when you reach the end.
Cutscene: why mining equipment? There are no diamonds in Burundi,
or is there? What do they want?
Get on the ledge and remove all enemies below you. You can circle
to your right to get better shots. There is a way to get below.
Follow the path down into the pond. Then climb out. Follow
waypoint as it dictates. Kill hostiles as you go.
Cutscene: bad guys are evacuating.
Shoot bad guys, and if they appear to be guarding a path, go
there. Follow path, remove two mercs, follow path to right,
remove a small group of mercs at end of path (3-4?) grab two
medikits and ammo box. Continue, remove four more guards,
continue and take out another patrol group. You'll reach an open
area. Take out the merc on top. Follow the path. Your spotter
will mention "they came through here". Kill all mercs around the
camp fire, collect medikit and ammo pack. Continue.
Keep taking out mercs and rebels until you come to this big chasm
with a rickety bridge. Snipe all hostiles before attempting to
cross. (if you take the right side tunnel you may be able to take
them out from a different angle). Cross the bridge, and keep
following the path and eliminate hostiles. Sneak up behind this
one guy and put a silent bullet in his head, then start picking
off the rest below. Follow the path, kill a few more mercs, grab
another set of medikits and ammo packs, through a tunnel, and
this level will end.
6.4.3 Level 10: All things must end
Grab the two medikits and ammo box to your left, and move out.
Kill two mercs heading toward you. You should see the watchtowers
around the base, with a large fence. You don't need to enter the
base, so just go around it. Kill everyone you can see. Follow the
waypoints as you circle around the base, killing rebels and mercs
as you go. Kill three guards as you head up a hill, and four more
when you approach the hut, but you should have no problems.
You'll find two medikits and an ammo box in the hut.
Continue, and you're at a ridge overlooking the helo. Your
spotter will yell "Ambush!" However, this part is important: you
must reach the waypoint first, THEN turn around and handle the
ambush.
NOTE: If you don't reach the waypoint, you get INFINITE number of
respawning hostiles instead of just 10 from each location.
Look at the building behind the chopper, kill everyone that comes
out, plus more coming from the building/barracks to your right.
Kill 10 from each location, and that'll end when you get a
cutscene.
Cutscene: the base has multiple AA installations, call in some
arty to level it so air strike can go through.
Run to the next waypoint, as you'll reach some huts with crates.
Remove the guards, and get to the waypoint next to the hut. Use
the laser designator and "zap" the SAM launcher. You get another
cutscene.
Cutscene: Your spotter spots Kessler, the merc leader, jumping
into the helo and leaves!
Hide behind the hut(s) as Karume and his rebels want you really
dead. A bunch of rebels manned the MGs and Karume is there
shooting at you too. There are 2 medikits and 2 ammo boxes at the
hut. Grab them and use them. Lean out from behind the hut and
take out the MG nests, and take shots at Karume. He must have
taken some serious voodoo drugs, since it takes about 15-20 shots
before he goes down, and he doesn't stay still either! Shoot the
MG nests (3 of them) from one side of the hut, then from the
other. Shoot Karume whenever you can. When you've given him
enough "lead poisoning", the level ends.
Cutscene: artillery and airstrike drop on the camp, destroying
everything. Kessler got away. Mission accomplished.
Congratulations, you have completed: Marine Sharpshooter 2:
Jungle Warfare!
Now you can try with a higher difficulty level, and see how well
you do!
