| If you are the slightest bit unclear about the difference between violence in games and violence in real life, then you should not be here. These pages are for the enjoyment of people who use games as a means of entertainment and who have a clear understanding of the respect we as human beings must have for the sanctity of life and the autonomy of the human individual. bill January 27, 2007, at 12:59 PM CST |

It took me a long time before I tried to do this level without killing anybody in the area by the agency drop and I was surprised that I actually did succeed in doing this. The problem with this level is that you can't disable the cameras without firing a shot. If it weren't for that, I could finish this level with all zeros. As it is, I have been able to do it with no alerts, no close calls, no enemies or innocents killed and one shot fired. The trick is you have to sneak all the way into the upstairs room in the top floor of the compound before getting your first uniform. So I suppose you could do this first and then go back for the agency supplies after having a disguise but I managed to sneak through the agency supply part without a disguise with some difficulty, though, I have to admit.
You have to start out by crossing two bridges in a row in the sewer and staying to the left after crossing each one, then turn right into an alcove and climb the ladder. Pause before exiting the manhole so the guard can turn away from you. Then walk up behind the pallet right by him. When he starts to walk away follow him as close as you can without having to sneak, about 10 ft. three meters, but go to his left at about a 45 degree angle toward some pallets near the front of the raised platform on the other side of the area. He'll turn to his right so you want to be to his left. Turn right between the platform and the row of pallets on your right then after you pass a couple of them on your right, stand in the little wedge of space made by the last crooked pallet before an aisle.
Now the guard on the platform will come down the stairs and start toward you but he'll stop and the guard at the telephone will gesticulate wildly for a minute and then leave to go stand by the gate. After that wait for the platform guard to start back toward the stairs and run to the agency drop. If the telephone guard leaves soon enough, you could just run to the drop point before the platform guard comes down the stairs. Either way, get your stuff from the box and wait behind the pallet in front of you until the telephone guard goes back to the phone again. When he is back standing at the phone, facing away from you, walk to the alcove, hugging the left wall, go around the left side of the manhole and climb down.
Go to the end of the short tunnel, turn right and follow the sewer all the way to the other end and up the short lateral on the right. Climb the ladder and then climb the scaffolding near the far wall. Before you get all the way to the top, look over the edge of the wall and wait for a guard to walk from right to left and get just far enough past you so he won't see you, then climb the rest of the way over and drop down behind the leftmost pallet before he gets to the end of his trip at the left wall. When he starts back, wait till he just gets past you and then walk straight across the courtyard staying far enough away to not have to sneak. Turn right and walk into the hiding space created by the configuration of the four pallets together on the other side.
Now the guard will come down from the headquarters building and the first guard will make one more trip back and forth. When they both head back away from each other again, wait for the headquarters guard to get inside the door and then run up that walkway to the pallet at the end and hide behind it. The next time the headquarters guard comes out the door, you go stand by the door and check your map. Wait till the inside guard comes back out and starts walking away from the other side of the door in front of you, then go inside and start up the stairs. Follow a safe distance behind the inside guard. He will turn right at the end and you will turn left into an office. Go in and change clothes. Come right back out and head for the elevator.
When I exit from the elevator, I always head to the right and wait for the first guard to start walking away just so I don't have to share the hallway with him. He's suspicious enough already. Veer around other guards as much as possible and go to the point of interest at the other end of that hallway. Wait for the other guard to leave, then pick the lock on the fence gate and grab the AK-47. I'm sure there's at least one other level where you can get an AK-47 but I don't remember off the top of my head. Maybe there isn't one. Just take this one. Walk into the communications room and walk diagonally across the room into the hallway near the other corner. Follow that hallway through two doors, turn right in the next hallway and enter the first door on the right. Walk to the computer racks and shoot the middle one in the panel of green lights with your 9mm SD to disable the surveillance system. I've tried to figure out a way to do without this step but so far I haven't.
Now exit this room the way you came in and turn right. Go to the first corner and then to the second door on the left. Make sure the hallway guard is not watching, pick the lock, go in and change clothes. Exit that room, proceed down the hallway and into the aisle on the left through the door and then step close to the broken brick wall. Drop the bomb and go back out to the main hallway and turn left.
Follow this hallway to the elevator and once you are in the elevator, trigger the bomb with the bomb remote Now go down to the second basement. Follow the hallway in the second basement around to the third side of the square and when the hallway guard exits the hallway, go to the last door on the right and pick the lock.
Once inside, drop the pager on the floor about 5 ft. (1.5 m) inside the door and 3 ft. (1 m) from the window. Now position yourself behind where the door would open in sneak mode and use the phone. The pager will now go off and the officer will come in to investigate. As soon as he passes you take him out from behind. I like the kitchen knife. Now get his combat knife. I think this is the only combat knife in the whole game so don't miss it.
Drag him out of site of the door or wait till the hallway guard is not in the hallway and then go into the interrogation room. Lead the dude back to the elevator and go up to the first basement.
