The Guided Tour: Call of Duty Strike Team Walkthrough Part 7 - Welcome to Afghanistan
The actions and thrills have not ended, it may have only just begun
We kissed goodbye to life on the Arctic after 5 brain-tasking deadly adventurous missions. We had hoped to get out in one piece until our Helo received a last minute hit from the Hostiles One of our team members was left at the mercy of gravity after getting a bullet in his torso while trying to get into the Helo. It was an unexpected ending really and I don't even have any idea about the fate of the Spetsnaz team nor the Onslaught. I believe this new episode will give us some insight into what happened afterwards.

Under the auspices of the ANA forces assault, RV with a local operative for sitrep and location of our target - a serious player in the arms and tech black market.
We are in Afghanistan. If there's anything we could use right now, it is a change of location. We've seen the dark scenes too much and I think we're done creeping from behind the shadows. Well, the mission seemed ambiguous for a while until rays of light begin to beam on it. Apparently, some terrorists have broke into a US base of operations and they were able to steal an hard drive. This hard drive contains information/data that could expose the entire US'es defense strategy. But it looks like they want to just trade it for something big and Felix Kaplan - a blackmarket trade and also a firearm lord- might have valuable intel on what happened to that Data. He has been spotted along Pakistan border with a local warlord. We are to take him alive and that's the whole crux of the mission. His being alive
The team arrives on the Helo that evacuated them from the Arctic nothing was shown or mentioned about the fate of the unfortunate soldier. I guess his fight is over. Marshall and Reed are still intact, I think they may have gotten their vests changed to something that befits their environment. It is a mixture of brown and green from the previous blue and white. They get down from the Helo and they get to work.
I must confess, the environment is a lot intense than the Artic because it looks like a damn World war II scene; The smokes that billowed from distant houses - probably shelled or "RPG'ed", the constant grenade explosions at random locations, the cars up in flames and the sporadic cries of gun shouts and reels of commands. The ANA is the new team on board that we are getting to romance in this chapter, like the Spetsnaz team. They were the ones that triggered the exchange of fires and it seems like they are not lily livered like Spetsnaz. Our first objective is to get to them so Reed and Marshall quickly get them in no time to assist with the gun fires.
Is there any better way to say "Welcome"? Just after we neutralized the first set of hostiles, a machine gun took up the mantle. . What I don't know is if it is mini or machine gun because they are quite specific with the terms being used for them at the Arctic. They said it is exposed on the flank but I can't see anyway closer to it. The area is pretty much exposed albeit wide but we've taken cover behind some f**cked up cars. You must not get anyway near being sighted because you are done for, it literally shoots on sight, shooting to kill. I think it's time I switched to the Drone mode to plot a better strategy.
It looks as though it is impossible even with the drone view. I've tried grenades but the Machine gun is far from me and there's someone controlling it. It's really looking bad.
It did look impossible but I eventually found a way. I sneaked behind some wooden barriers just by the side of the road and it led up till we were close enough to the Machine gun undetected to either take a shot at the aggressive man behind it or throw a grenade. We opted for the latter and he died before he could even aim at Reed. Yes, Reed made the kill. Not that Marshall was idle anyway since it was a collective work. There had been an hostile docking right after Marshall's cover and immediately Reed went up the sides of the planks, he noticed and started firing at him, Marshall then capitalized on the distraction and killed him. El Perfecto!
It was just like Karma decided to pay us an unplanned visit. Since we had taken down the machine gunner, Marshall decided to test its efficiency but right after he took up the wheels, the enemies, like drums, rolled in - in their droves. It was like a sense of De Ja Vu when they also hid behind the covers we had taken abode. The Machine gun did all it could until it can no longer handle them, Marshall had to switch to his primary weapon in order to take out hostiles in "out of reach positions". The Machine gun is still the mini gun we have always known though. Some of the ANA squad is laying lifelessly cold on the ground right now, he must have been pretty hit. His corpse' posture portrayed his relentless spirit. May he RIP.
I really like this environment, this is probably the umpteenth time I've said this but you just gotta appreciate the feel of war; The bullet-ridden dilapidated old buildings and the settings, just great. The hostiles may have mastered every nook and cranny of this place but it's not easy to blend in you know, Onslaught is like a chameleon, every changing, always adapting - Survival The success of the mission is paramount. We start to climb highs and lows until we are informed that we are close to a hostage situation. We soon rally in front of the red door of the building and breach! It wasn't much of a resistance as Reed neutralizes the hostiles in the 5 seconds slow time mode - including the one that held the hostage at gun point.
The other team mate of the ANA squad had been split after his friend die but we reunite with him where he had been held up for long. I really admire is courage and his skills wading off the waves of enemies until we arrived to help him and ease things for him at least. The hostiles maybe heartless but they are quite
tactical, if only I knew Arabic language, I would have picked up a thing or two from their instructions. We, being 3 now, are able to work more effectively and in an apparent moment of cease fire, the team is led into the a building where we meet our main objective;
ALEX DUBIOUS
He'll probably give us the sitrep and the location of our target, Kaplan
