FIRETEAM MODE

Mogadishu's military, the Sand Hog, is suspected of illegally supplying weapons to nearby countries and have been placed on the UAF's expulsion list. The local government has refused to take action until UAF headquarters provides concrete evidence. An infiltration team was sent in three days ago and signaled that they had obtained some vital Intel, but they failed to make it to the extraction point. They are believed to be captured or killed. Your mission is to infiltrate the mission area and gather the necessary Intel. If possible, find and rescue the infiltration team.

Unlike other missions, this mission is a cooperative based mission. Your team, of up to 8 players, plays against computer controlled enemies. Fallen enemies will drop ammunition and health packs that you can pick up. Your health and ammunition will also be replenished by reaching checkpoints within the mission. If you die, you will respawn when your teammates to advance to the next checkpoint.

This mission unfolds in multiple stages. HQ will transmit information on your mission as it is needed. These transmissions can be seen on the lower middle part of the screen. Target indicators (which look like downward facing triangles) will also show up on your HUD to guide you to your objectives. Also, your current and completed objectives are summarized on the upper left corner of the screen. Mission and objective timers are displayed in the upper middle portion of the screen underneath your score counter. Complete all of the stages before the mission timer runs out in order to win the mission.
FIRETEAM MODE SAND HOG MAP

The Fireteam Mode Sand Hog Map is divided into 4 sectors:
• Sector 1 - Insertion route
• Sector 2 - The Temple
• Sector 3 - The Road
• Sector 4 - The Town
