********************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.

Location: Jubba Valley, Somalia

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
