I got this game as a gift from my brother (Steam), I didn't care much about it at first (never played or seen cod, only heard it was a good series), but when I started playing I recalled I had already seen video previews about this and was excited, then I reached this mission which I loved from the previews.

This level reminds me of Goldeneye which I played a lot, its got surface (duh), part of facility (the your partner being cornered by the enemy and escaping with a blast) and runway (you are at a runway), and have to run for it including going straight to an abyss, although with a snowmobile, not a plane.

Anyway, I read about the achievement from doing this level without alerts and kills so I replayed it and replayed some more and ended with a speedrun. I can do any section without mistakes easily, but it took me a day to do the whole level without dying. It's got mistakes but at the moment wouldn't care because I just started playing so I don't know if I missed important things like a better movement method, or some sort of glitch.

Timing would be 6:53 from start to end of level. I count the first frame after the cinematic ends until the last frame before the next level's cinematic starts (when the mouse appears). You can take out up to about 3 seconds from it if you want gameplay only (but it's sketchy because you can't tell when gameplay actually starts, your inputs are locked until some point during the level fade in).

All the flashbangs are to let me run without stopping (I throw while recharging the sprint, I also reload and do whatever during sprint recharge time). The grenade I have to wait a bit (a flashbang works too), but a grenade kills the soldiers, I rather have them dead so they don't shoot at me later. The sweetspot is aiming at the feet-level in between the two soldiers I aim at, if you miss the grenade will usually bounce on their bodies and end somewhere else.

Improvements I know are having better aim and timing of when to shoot (lol at completely missed shot that alerted everyone), maybe using the extra grenades to kill the snowmobiles so they don't bother you later improving the surviving chances (which I didn't do because I haven't tested where to throw the grenades for that effect), also after the first four patrols I kill I kill another one before entering the base, after that I go around a jeep. It is very possible to jump on the front of the jeep, then turn and jump on top of it then jump down and continue moving from there, if you don't wait you don't have to kill the patrol because he won't get to see you. However I get stuck on the jump to the top of the jeep very easily as well, so I chose the safe route.

Also the last flashbang, maybe I shouldn't use it, if you have good aim you don't need it because you can kill the soldiers as they pop, but sometimes I miss and then the AI decides to kill me in a split second being veteran, that flashbang is a "safe route" that can be removed too.
