Watch a short introductory cutscene. You are in the car with Irish and Hannah. After a while, you will notice units of the Russian army and you will stop. You will be spotted by the hidden Marine unit, who will take you along to their hideout. From there, you will be able to move on.
Reach Old Town
Run after Irish and you should notice an ammo box after a while. Take the appropriate equipment and continue the mission. Irish will notice that there are large numbers of the enemy units and patrolling tanks in the area.
In the first place, you will have to destroy the tank but, for the sake of safety, use the tactical visor first, to mark the rest of the units in this location. Next, approach the gadget box, which is marked on the minimap. Take C4 explosives and follow the tank. Just like in the "Shanghai" mission, it is immensely important that you stay out of the range of vision of the tank, and behind it instead.
Run up to the tank, attach two C4 charges, run away and explode the charges once you are at a safe distance. The explosion will alarm the enemy units and the battle will ensue. Hide behind a cover and fire at the approaching enemies. Some of them are in the buildings or on the rooftops so, you need to be careful. Try to push Northwards slowly as well [N on the minimap].
After you have killed all of the enemies, you should have already reached the Northern gate., next to which there is a watchtower. You will find a tank here - get into the vehicle and cut though the gate. You can use the onboard guns to kill the enemies.
Follow the marker on the minimap until you get to a place (a tunnel entrance), where you will have to get out of the tank. Do that and walk through the door. Then run ahead.
It is time for another fight with the Russian units. Approach the nearby ammo box and replenish your ammo.
In this stage, it is best to take a position near one of the buildings, at least at the beginning. Dash into the nearby building and kill the enemies there. Then, approach the window and use the tactical visor to mark all of the enemies. You should also notice another tank here. Do not worry, you still have the C4 charges, which you took from the box. As for now, you can ignore the tank because it is at a safe distance and is not focused on you yet. While standing in the window, kill all of the enemies that you can reach from here.
Once the area is clear and free of the enemy units, you can deal with the tank. Select the C4 charge and run towards the tank, while trying not to attract its attention. Plant two C4 charges and explode them once you are at a safe distance.
After you have destroyed the tank, finish off the rest of the enemies and follow Irish and Hannah. You will reach a Marines camp, where you will talk to Major Greenland. She will equip you with a car so, enter it along with the others.
Destroy the Dam
After a nap in the car, it is time to go ahead. Run along the tunnel and approach the ammo box. As your primary weapon, select the assault rifle, and the marksman, or sniper rifle as your secondary weapon. Follow Irish and, after a while, you will bump into a patrol of Russian soldiers. Kill them. This will alarm the soldiers in the camp located beneath. Take a good position behind a cover and start eliminating the enemies using the marksman/sniper rifle.
Once the area below is relatively clear, go there. Kill the remainder of the enemies. After a moment, there should appear a helicopter. You will have to kill the pilot or the soldiers on the chopper's sides. The best idea is to hide in an opened container and stick out just for a moment, to take a shot. Repeat until you succeed.
The chopper will then crash land and you will be able to go ahead. Climb up the stairs onto the white platform and jump onto the colorful containers. Now, go ahead kill the enemies along your way. Turn your attention to the enemies at the heavy machine guns. You will have to deal with them in the first place, because the guns deal a lot of damage.
After a while, you will reach an elevator - walk inside and press the switch to move. Once you are downstairs, approach the ammo box and replenish your ammo. The most useful weapon at this point will be the marksman rifle instead of the sniper rifle.
Turn left and start shooting at the enemies approaching down the corridor. Cover Hannah, who is planting the first C4 charge. Run ahead and eliminate the successive soldiers. A moment later, you will have to plant another charge. Search for the spot marked with the white dot and press [E].
Keep running ahead, until you end up on a scaffolding. Now, you should be using the marksman rifle for the whole time, because the enemies will be appearing at quite a distance, and this will make aiming easier for you. After a while, Irish will plant the last charge so, run along the scaffolding and kill the Russian soldiers along the way. At some point, you will have to jump over to the other side of the scaffolding so, aim at the ladder, otherwise you will fall and you will have to start over from the checkpoint. Once you are almost at the top, it will turn out that further passage is cut off. You will be attacked by another wave of soldiers. You have no other choice but detonate the charges. Select the C4 detonator and press the [LMB], to see a spectacular cutscene.
After you get out of water, you will notice a helicopter, a friendly one this time around. Run ahead towards the building and take the stairs to reach the rooftop. Major Greenland will offer you transport to the place where your last mission takes place.
