Title: To Death or Freedom
Creator: DukesterM (DukesterM@comcast.net)

Game Type: Singleplayer

Briefing: After being shot down, you have made it to a hilltop clearing where you have started a fire to signal the rescue helicopter.  Defend your position from all enemy attackers until it arrives.  If you let the enemy secure the landing zone, the rescue is off.

Recommended Weapon Choices: Any sniper rifle (its much more fun than shooting aimlessly into the abyss.)

Please Note: Satchel Charges and Claymores cannot be used in this mission.  The reason is that when placed the enemies will shoot at them instead of you (either an ai bug or feature where enemies want to destroy your planted explosives.)  As nice a diversion tactic as it would be, it takes some of the challenge out of the mission.

Hints:
1) Use the sniper rifle when the enemies are charging from a distances, then switch to the stationary machine gun (50 cal) when at close range.
2) Do not waste your saves, health packs, and ammo pack.  The mission increases in difficulty as the waves progress, so using a health pack after the first wave is silly.
3) Do not leave your hilltop position, because if any of the attackers reach the top of the hell the mission ends in failure.
4) On occasion you might have to pull out your trusty secondary weapon and take out the last few enemies just out of site from your position (especially on the last wave.)
5) In order to complete the mission, you must destroy every enemy on the last wave.  Just because the helicopter is overhead doesn't mean you have won.
