Mission 1: Ambush
You spawn in with 4 soliders, do not rush in immediately.

Enemy soliders are scripted to miss friendlies at the convoy but they can kill you if you go too close.

Use your 1st person to deal 1 by 1 and let your friendlies go first.
Clear your side of the convoy then move on to the other.
After rescuing them,you will go in an MK19 MATV that can one shot all technicals,try shooting anti-tank soliders and other techincals.
Remember watching your ammo counter!
Before reaching the checkpoint, there is an enemy SPG technical coming on the right side. Deal with him and you are done!
Mission 2: Unbreakable
Your FOB is getting attacked! One of the missions that doesn't have a voice-over at the start.
You have 2 Defense squads with mixed weapons, 2 Matvs with M2HB machine guns,2 Engineers (we don't need them now)
As the enemy closing in, you have to set up your defensive positions, they will attack your front first then while you are distracted, a secert secondary attack is underway from the sides. If you are not careful, you are DEAD!
Prepare to set up your defense on 3 sides!

Follow this rule: 1 Machinegunner, 1 AT solider for each side, 1 medic for the left side since its farthest and the remaining main both front and right side.
DO NOT USE YOUR ROCKETS UNTILL INSTRUCTED
Technicals are easily dealt with machineguns.
Put your MATVs behind cover,their machineguns are higher than the walls providing neccessary firepower without exposing itself to enemy threats.
At the 3 Minutes mark, there are 2 enemy BTR-60s , use your AT soliders to deal with them!
WARNING: YOUR MATVs DO NOT PENETRATE THE BTRs, DO NOT ENGAGE!



Side warning: you may get attack by sucidal bombers!


After succesfully defending your base,you are awarded with "a US battalion".


Your next task is to clear out enemy compound, i still don't get who will build a base next to enemy units without clearing them out first :)

Move your Bradley up the hill and switch on Thermal Vision, dealing with the enemy BTRs at the center of the compund.Left it there to provide covering fire for the whole map!




First BTR down!


Second BTR down!


Confirmation!

Use your overpowered resources to clear out weakened enemies.They may have a BTR-82 reinforcement but the Bradley will destroy it.
Good luck soliders!



Mission 3 : Courier (Easier with friends)
Friends will provide more troops for you!
This guide is entirely played alone!
Stealthy kill all of the guys in this side of the river ( all in first person) , Sometimes it feels like COD.

There are some vehicles patrols that don't pose much of a threat but it's better to not engage them.DO NOT ENGAGE!

Flank to this side, get your 50 cal sniper rifle guy to kill the gunner then destroy vehicle itself!
Try to get the technical shoot at the other guy not you!

Go for 2nd objective if you want(Optional), just use the RPG-7 from one of the dead guys


Shoot the truck and it will result in a chain reaction killing some guys and from there just let the sniper pick up one by one.
Attack the final compund from both sides is a bonus since there a lot of troops


There will be a platoon of enemy troops but easily dealt with using sniper rifles and stolen AKs


When you finished , you will face the"Courier"! He will be always running, but dont get too close since he can knock you down quickly!


Here is me joking with him using RPG-7


After killing him and take the documents, there are reinforcements at the extraction point


Just ran to there and you finish the mission.
DO NOT ENGAGE SINCE ENEMIES SPAWN ARE UNLIMITED!

Use Drone at enemies nearby your way to extraction!
Good luck!
Mission 4: Texas Tea
Mission 5: Invasion
Mission 6: Black Hawk down
Mission 7: Rolling Thunder
Mission 8 :Evacuation
Mission 9 : Wolf Cave
Mission 10: Payday (Easier with friends)
It's advised to deselect "War vision" since there are AT soliders everytime you don't pay attention!
This mission has 2 choices, I have win using both but i find the marines easier to deal with since later stages , they offer the M1A2 TUSK with better protection and marines are generally better than their counterparts in the army.
This guide will focus on the Marines option.

This is a luck save that i play to get these screenshots with 2 M1A2 Abrams, i will provide a link later for this save.

Move on slowly with the tank and engage enemy troops.


Your troops are generally weaker in this regards as they don't have any cover while moving since they will be murdering you out in the open!
TARGET ANY TROOPS WITH SHOTGUNS AND SNIPER RIFLES!
With heroic and hardcore on, it is basically a terminator with 100% accuracy ! This is one of the problems with auto-shotguns which i wanted the devs to have a look in .


Enemy vehicles original location, they may move if they deemed unsafe.




Move your left tank here to deny any enemy tanks spawn on your left!

Your right tank location to deny enemy spawn

Start to pick on enemy tanks spawn to gain points used towards buying more reinforcements

REMEMBER: CREATE A LARGE ENOUGH FORCE UNTILL ATTACKING THE FINAL POINTs
This is very important since enemy will have 4 T-80Us ,2 BTRs and 2 T-62s all with elite troopers that are better than your Marines!


After taking the 2nd last point, use all of your troops to the headquaters.

It will be protected by some assasins(the strongest troop for the GRM), if you killed them, you will finish the mission and the remaining enemies will surrender!


Well done! You have make America proud!

How do I switch to Thermal Vision in any vehicle , like the bradley.

Nice! Can you do one for the GRM on Heroic?

And yes Heroic does make it easier because the all damage is increased so one well place soldier can potential wipe out and advancing squad especially if you're in direct-control

@Sustentes-toi de tes défunts funnily enough, yes. Hardcore increases the core damage and reaction time for both the player and the AI. This means that, both units will kill others in a much faster rate. If you tried using peek and shoot, your unit could cause much more damage in a shorter amount of time. Even tank vs tank combats will be much easier.
