Defend America and its allies through broad combat experiences —including dynamic non-linear missions, 40 deadly and authentic real world weapons, multiple terrain types, weather conditions, enemy types, and encounter possibilities.
Command Equity system provides rewards for how well core aspects of a mission are completed, while Local Influence rewards those who help local causes and limit civilian casualties. Use them to gain access to new weapons, equipment, intel, air-strikes and local support.
Gameplay Hints
Easy money:
To get more money, play your campaign over again. To do this, go to your "Profile Data" screen and look up "Reset Campaign". If you do this, it will not take away from the other things obtained with the last campaign. All you need to do is find new things that you did not find before. Also, all your campaign will be in the 300 to 900 in your money. Keep going back to this every time.
Demo: Easy ambush:
On the demo, get close to the end when you ambush the seven or eight Tangos. To immediately kill them all at once without firing a single bullet, call an airstrike directly in front of them. This will drop a cluster bomb on them. Then, turn around and attack the other four or five men that slipped past Fireteam Alpha to complete the level.
