Reaching the excavation site

Map legend:

1 - starting area

2 - area where you'll receive a new mission goal

3 - small hut (rocket launchers)

4 - area where you should cross the river

I guess you won't be surprised by the fact that there's a long and demanding journey ahead of you. Thankfully, you won't have to travel on foot, at least not until you've reached the river. You will be moving east and then north. Start off by using one of the nearby trucks. You could also ignore it and proceed to a humvee vehicle.

You shouldn't have any problems finding the swamps. Use your turret to take out all enemy soldiers. Be careful, because some of them may actually try and get closer, especially those to your left. Prevent them from doing that. Try killing all of them before reinforcements show up. Now you will have to eliminate 4-5 new soldiers.

It would be a good idea to exit the truck. Try and move closer to a nearby hut (3 on the map). You will have to start off by neutralizing a heavy machine gun nest, because it's the only major threat out there. Once this is done, go back to one of your vehicles and go to the hut. You must be quick. Reach this new area before anyone else decides to use the heavy machine gun post.

Make sure that you're travelling towards the hut at full speed. I would recommend surprising the soldiers from the south-west. Try killing as many of them as possible with your main turret. Sooner or later, you will have to leave your vehicle. Turn on your camouflage.

You should focus all of your efforts on securing this area. It's very important, because you'll know that you won't be attacked by anyone else later during the course of this mission. There are several rocket launchers inside the hut (screen). Take one of these weapons if you've decided to attack the helicopter before. Exit the hut and start moving east.

Eventually you will have to reach a river (4 on the map). You've got two choices here - you can try and use maximum speed to cross it quickly or you can activate camouflage and swim towards the opposite shore. Either way, stay out of sight, because an alarm would cause an enemy gunship to appear in this area. Start moving north-east.

Even if you're staying the shadows, you still have to avoid being spotted by an enemy gunship. Hide in the bushes each time it appears near your position. I wouldn't recommend moving too close to the left road. Instead, stay in the jungle and keep pushing towards your current goal area.

Now you will have to deal with a very challenging segment of your approach. You will be forced to get closer to the main road. This area is being patrolled by at least two groups of enemy soldiers. I'd strongly recommend avoiding them. If you decide to fight them, you must use trees for cover. Shotgun is the best weapon to take them down.

Keep heading north, but make sure that you're staying close to the eastern edge of the map. There are some dense bushes out here, so you'll be able to use them for additional cover. Use a cloaking device all the time. Slow down once you're close enough to the excavation site. Lie down on the ground. You will have to kill two enemy snipers from here. The first one is in front of you (screen) and the second one can be found to your left. Make sure that you're very precise (one shot to the head), so you won't raise an alarm. Head on to the orange container and you'll receive new orders.
