Save them for now though unless you somehow get overwhelmed at any point during the mission. The tank will drop "BOMB" ammo which will give you ten Grenades to use.
Take out the tank first and then clean up the rest of the soldiers still alive afterwards including the one tip-toeing above you. It's weapon is very slow any way as it fires a cannonball that drops directly in front of the tank and rolls very slowly towards you. Moving to the right a touch more will spawn a tall tank that you can take out before it even gets a shot off. They will give you items like diamonds or food that come with a small amount of points.
Soldiers will be in front of you and on the building too here so spray a few rounds from your weapon which will also cut free the two POW's (4/13). Collect the letter the jet drops once it is no more and jump over the remains of the truck to proceed on. They are very easy to dodge and you simply need to shoot directly up at the jet while edging either left or right to avoid the bombs. Once the truck is destroyed, a small jet will spawn above you and try to take out by dropping bombs on you. Press on and kill a couple more soldiers before a small truck rolls up from the right side of the screen containing more soldiers. There may be a couple of NPC's below you if they've not already run away and the business man in the blue suit should put down his briefcase which you can pick up for a few points. Jump on top of the small building using the food crate and collect the item.
It will give you a faster firing rate and you'll also be able to shoot diagonally upwards, and diagonally downwards after jumping.
You definitely need to save all NUMBER available in this first mission.Įach POW your free (2/13), will give you a 'H' which is a Heavy Machinegun upgrade and comes with limited ammo (showcased underneath the "ARMS" tab at the top of the screen). Should you make it to the end of the mission without dying, all of the POW's you have saved will be tallied up and you will be awarded extra points. Should you die at any point, you will lose any amount of POW's you have saved up to that point. They will salute you and a small figure will appear at the bottom left-corner of the screen showcasing how many POW's you have saved. To free them, either shoot them or melee them to break the ropes and then run into them. You'll come across your first couple of POW's (Prisoners of War), the guys tied up who have long blonde hair and thick and gorgeous beards. You won't have to worry about the latter until the later missions however. The soldiers aren't much of a threat throughout the game unless you leave them alive for too long or they begin spawning in large numbers. Proceed to the right and kill three soldiers you will come across one-by-one. Once you land in the desert, shoot the sign with the arrow on your left a few times for a hidden item. It only takes a few quick playthroughs to get familiar. It's fairly straight-forward to do so long as you take your time and get familiar with the enemies, what they do, where they spawn and so on. Aim to stay alive in the first and second missions so you won't have as many points to earn later on. I'll be providing as much text-detail as possible for each mission but if you'd prefer to just watch each video for the different modes, scroll right down to the bottom of each walkthrough page. If things are different, it shouldn't have much impact on your playthrough. For example, the business man in the blue suit you will see near the start of Mission 1 in the video may be replaced by another arabian for you. Enemies, their spawns, weapons, etc, will always be the same but less important stuff like NPC characters, the items they may or may not drop can change so you may see different things in your playthrough compared to my video. Sometimes, not everything is the same in different playthroughs of the game.
