[SP/CO-02] Telos Sweep rv.16

Due to the rapid and uncontrollable deterioration of relations between the United States and the CSAT alliance, the outbreak of war has been inevetable. Operation Grindstone represents the first officially sanctioned operation against the CSAT alliance, a full scale mobilization of troops aimed at taking control of the island of Altis.

We intend to launch a full scale assault on Altis within the next 24 hours, however we will require control of the airport in order to do so. Taking the airport will require a massive assault, and the presence of a staging area nearby will allow us to take it that much faster. Command has identified the village of Telos as the ideal location as it represents an easily defensible position close enough to the airport that our troops will be able to strike quickly, but not far enough away that vehicles will be required.

You will move from your insertion point into the town of Telos, eliminate any CSAT patrols you find and secure the town. We're running low on available manpower, so you'll be going in alone - however if enemy resistance proves substantial we will task a drone to your sector to provide you with intel.

If you enjoyed this mission, feel free to check out some of my other missions which follow the same format. Also, be sure to try them out in CO-OP for a completely new experience.

This mission can be played in either Singleplayer or 2 Player CO-OP. When playing in Co-Op you will have the ability to respawn, however enemies will be more difficult to kill and the number of enemies will be increased to 15 (from 10 in singleplayer). Once you've eliminated 2/3 of the enemy forces, a drone will come on station to provide you with (almost) real-time position updates on the remaining enemy forces. You can check their positions on your map. You've also been given a MediKit, so you will be able to heal yourself completely as many times as you need.

This mission has been designed to force you to play cautiously, and will reward you greatly if you do so. Take it slow, check your corners, avoid remaining in the same position after engaging a patrol and always move from cover to cover - assume that you could be fired upon at any point and try to always be in a good position should that happen.

- If you come under fire from an enemy, it is generally more prudent to move to cover before returning fire as the amount of time it requires to locate and engage the person firing at you will usually be longer than the amount of time necessary for them to finish you off.
- Avoid walking in streets, they provide little cover and make you an obvious target. Rather stick to back alleys, or move from building to building if absolutely necessary.
- Use the stance adjust features (Ctrl+WASD) and lean (QE) to present as little of yourself as possible when checking corners or peeking from windows. Not only are you less likely to be spotted, but you're also less likely to be hit when the enemy starts shooting.
- Full-Auto was designed for a reason, use it. You'd be amazed how many times you will get out of a sticky situation by pointing your rifle in the general direction of the enemy and letting loose a magazine.
- Don't assume. Just because an area was clear the last time you moved through it, certainly doesn't mean it will be the next time you do. Check everything, every time.

I'd like to thank zorilya for his brilliant Garrison script, it made my life a whole lot easier than it would have been otherwise.
