********************III. Basics************************
-------------------------------------------------------

*** Aiming ***
Whenever possible, raise the sights of your weapon when firing.  This provides a better view of the target and makes your fire much more accurate.  However, you should not always leave your sights raised as it restricts your peripheral vision.

*** Corners ***
When approaching a corner, it is always best to go into a crouch and lean so that only your head and weapon are exposed around the corner.  Doing so not only lowers the chances of you being seen by the enemy while scouting ahead, but enables you to fire on enemies around the corner while providing the smallest possible target for enemies.

*** Sniping ***
When sniping, it is always necessary to make sure the elevation setting is matched with the distance reading to the nearest hundred.  Failure to do so will often result in the shot going too high or too low, and needlessly alerts the enemy.  It is also necessary to "lead" moving targets at a distance due to the time it takes the bullet to reach an enemy; that is, place your sights ahead of them along their path of travel instead of directly on them in order to hit them.  The further away a target is, the larger the lead needed is.

*** Grenades ***
It is not always necessary or smart to throw a grenade at a target at full strength.  Hold the right mouse button to start the power meter, and release it to throw or roll the grenade at the desired strength.  Grenades can also be bounced off of walls and other structures at an angle to take out targets around a corner.

Marka Breakdown
---------------
Date:  February 16, 1993
Location:  Marka Village, Jubba Valley, Somalia
Default Weapons Load: M21, M9, AT-4
Maximum Saves: 2
Suggested Weapons Load: M21, Colt .45, AT-4
Walkthrough:
Sit tight at the start of the mission, and don't shoot ANYONE or ANYTHING inside the village itself.  After a few seconds of riding, the convoy take a sharp left out of the hills.  Be prepared to start firing as soon as you make the turn.  Take out the two guys taking shelter near the burned out cars and the technical on the right, then quickly aim forward again.  Take out the guy under the tree and two guys to the left, then swing right again in order to take out the enemies running across the field.  After taking out the enemies in the field, aim ahead again, and take out the few guys on the right side of the road.  You should now see a parked vehicle ahead to the left; quickly take this out, there is an enemy with an RPG hiding inside of it.  As your convoy heads toward the hills, concentrate on the right hand side.  There are several enemies along the road side here, and the majority of the enemies in the hills are on the right hand, including one with an RPG.  Once you've cleared the hills, immediately swing back and to the left and take out the two incoming technicals.  You've now reached the stranded convoy; now would be a good time to use your first save.  When your group of Humvees parks, aim straight ahead and take out the group of 3 technicals that starts across the field.  Then immediately swing back left and begin spraying bullets back and forth across the field and the bases of the hills on the other side; there are going to be tons of enemies, you'll be sure to hit something.  After a few moments, a handful of enemies will appear in the hills to the right; swing over that way and take care of them, then refocus on the enemies sprinting across the field.  When all enemies have been eliminated, you will receive an order to dismount the Humvee and continue on foot.  Follow the waypoint lines until you reach a ridge just above a group of technicals and other enemies.  Sit tight here until given the order to clear the Landing Zone of enemies.  Then head to the top of the hill and use the M21 to take out the enemy manning the .50 caliber on the technical, and begin shooting at the barrels in the bunker off near the far hills and amonst the vehicles directly in front of you; this will wipe out most of the enemies.  Mop up what's left, then head down the hill to wait for the Black Hawk to arrive.  When the Black Hawk sets down, man the other minigun and look toward the nose of the chopper.
Take out the two guys on the ground in between the two sets of hills, and the man standing on top of the hill.  The chopper will now bank left and you will see a group of enemies on the ground.  Concentrate on the men in the middle, one of them is holding an RPG.  Continue along focused forward, and pick off the handful of guys on the hill and in the field near the village.  You'll now overfly the supply convoy.  Off in the distance you should see a dark, squarish structure.  Open fire on this, it's a burned out car with enemies using it as cover.  Keep focused forward as the helicopter flies in between the hills, and take out the technical that enters the valley.  Then swing left and begin taking out the guys on the ground, and the bus full of enemies behind the small ridge.  Keep focused to the left and slightly ahead, the helicopter will swing around and there will be another vehicle and enemy.  Quickly look back forward and take out the two technicals that will appear.  Keep looking forward as you overfly the convoy again, and destroy the two technicals off in the distance as you approach them.  You will now overfly the convoy again; take out the technical passing the convoy on the far side, then begin taking out the men along the ground along the road.  Then, look backwards and take out the technical passing the convoy on the near side.  Take out the enemies around the base of the hill and the burned out bus.  Look forward again and take out the three men near the burned out bus, starting with the furthest enemy since he has an RPG.
Take out the technical that you catch site of as you fly over the town, then take out the two men in the hills as you circle around.  Take out the two technicals on the near side of the convoy, and the mission is passed.

Walkthrough:
Sit tight on the boat until you reach the dock.  When the boat reaches the dock, hop off and sprint to the ridge just past the food distribution trucks.  Enemies will begin pouring into the clearing from the front right.  Use your M203 to take out the larger groups of them, and hose the rest with automatic fire.  After a moment, you will get word of
