Mission 17 – Just Like Old Times

Captain John ‘Soap’ MacTavish

This mission brings you another step closer to reaching Shepherd as you and Price sneak your way to his location. You begin in a sandstorm as you sneak your way into Shepherd’s base.

Follow Price over to the ridge and aim your sights at the group of enemies gathered below. Wait until Price gives the signal before opening fire on them. Once they become aware of your presence give them all you’ve got before heading down to reach the rope you’ll be rappelling from.

Latch onto the railing and make your way down to the pair of unsuspecting guards below. Stealthily kill one while Price takes care of the other before unhooking. Once back on solid ground turn around and head into the cave nearby.

Make your way through the caves resisting every urge you have to go in guns blazing. Open fire on only the enemies Price instructs you to as to cause the least amount of commotion and raise the alarm. Once you reach the two sentries with the tac lights prepare for a firefight. As a team passes in front of you Price gives the order to open fire. Let loose and take out all the enemies in the area before heading back outside.

Once back outside grab one of the riot shields before trekking up the cliffside walkway. You’re going to need the extra protection as Shepherd’s men are all gunning for you. Push forward with Price, pushing any enemies out of the way, to reach another cave.

Inside the cave, breach through the wall to reach the central control room. Shepherd triggers a kill switch to destroy the entire facility around you so you’re going to need to figure out a way to exit before you’re crushed. Get on the door control panel and override the lock to get the door open.  Follow Price out the door where an explosion knocks you to your feet.

Once you’ve recovered from the blast shoot your way through the outdoor storage facility as your pursue Shepherd. Liberally toss grenades around to get through this section easily as you won’t be needing grenades any more for the rest of the game. Follow Shepherd into another tunnel to end the mission.
