Thin Ice

You’re onboard a large cargo ship and ordered to find and disable the ship’s engines.

Objective: Locate and disable vessel’s engine.

Use the blowtorch to break open the lock. Grab the weapon, flashbang, and ammo from the room. Open the opposite door and eliminate the guard and turret. Descend the staircase and exit to the exterior defeating a couple guards along the way. Turn right once outside and go around the left corner. Hop up and over the crates. Snag the ammo off of the far crate, grab the health kit then plant an RC bomb on the door around the left corner. Detonate!

Follow the staircase down and annihilate the guards. Move cautiously and pick off the guard through the open window ahead and another down the hall on the right. Follow the hall and pick up the ammo off the desk. Turn left and shoot the guard inside the adjacent room. When you enter, look to the right quickly to find another guard. Shoot another guard in the adjacent room to the left.

Grab the shotgun, ammo, and health from the far right corner then continue down the narrow hallway. At the intersection, beware of guards to the left and right. The corner to the right contains some ammunition. Descend the stairs into the engine room. Defeat the enemies patrolling room. Beware of a sniper on a balcony on the far side of the room and also watch out for a turret overhead. Activate the three switches to disable the ship’s engines.

Objective: Proceed to bridge and steer vessel away from shore.

Enter the opened gate (grabbing the ammo and health inside) and shoot the guard at the end of the hall. Move that way and open the double doors. At the top of the stairs, shoot the turret through the opening on the right. You can’t move through this door—boxes block it. Turn around and duck. Hop onto the railing and crawl to the far opening on the left. Drop inside and snag the health and pistol.

Beware of guards on the upper floor. Comb this level for ammo and health before moving through the passageway to the right. You’re near the start location. Eliminate the guards around the staircase (there’s one behind some boxes to the left). Go up the stairs and return to your start location for health you may have not used. Go through the open double doors onto the upper floor. Grab the ammo and health. There’s also an HE grenade on the desk in the far corner of the room.

Stand your ground in the next hall as enemies emerge from the left and ahead. Search the left hall for ammo and health before going to the exterior. An enemy drops grenades from above and there is a sniper and a turret to the left. Take out the grenadier first by moving behind the crate and turning around. Then eliminate the sniper and finally the turret. As you move forward beware of the guard on the crate to the right.

Before moving back inside, you can use the slanted beams to reach the upper floor (where the sniper stood). Climb up the far beam then jump duck onto the railing. Up here you’ll find armor, ammo, and health. You’ll find more on top of the crates.

There’s also a sniper rifle and shotgun ammo on one of the upper crates. Hop over one of the railings above and drop onto the ledge above the door. From that spot, hop onto the crate and grab the weapon.

There are two routes to the next area. You can take the high route—the ladders and catwalks along the ship’s top—or return to the lower level and move through the ship’s interior. Either route returns you the ship’s top. Move to the ship’s front and overlook a group of enemies. Eliminate them!

Descend the ladder and beware of more enemies to the right. Search the broken crates at the ship’s bow for additional ammunition. Use the open stairwell to return inside the ship. Eliminate the enemies throughout this storage room.

Follow the narrow winding corridor and eliminate the enemies along the way; the tight quarters is perfect for the shotgun. Reach the ladder and climb halfway and drop into a storage room with ammo and health. Continue to the top of the ladder into a conference room. Blast the guards inside and press on through the open passage. Move up the staircase and blast the guards in the bridge (an HE grenade can help clear them out). Use the steering wheel to adjust the ship’s course.

Objective: Prevent terrorists from escaping.

Use a radio-controlled bomb on the door. Move to a safe distance and detonate. Inside the room, use the medkit and grab the armor on the left. Ascend the ladder. Kill the sniper and grab his discarded rifle. Kill another guard below then wait for the jet to fly. Shoot the jet with your sniper rifle.

But it’s easier said than done. The jet uses a machine gun and rockets to retaliate. The rockets can annihilate you in a single explosion. One of the best places to take cover is the structure from which you entered. Stand behind the structure so it’s between you and the jet. Don’t stand directly behind the structure or you may suffer damage from any rocket explosions. Instead, stand a bit away but not up against anything else behind you (because any missiles striking behind you could inflict damage).

When the jet is shooting, duck behind the cover. When it’s not, strafe from behind the cover and shoot the jet with your sniper rifle. Should you need health, there are packs scattered on this roof and there are also two medkits on the structure you’re hiding behind. Shoot the jet enough times to complete the objective and the mission.
