11: Air Force One - Anti-Terrorism

Mission 5: Air Force One - Anti-Terrorism Air Force One: Overview 1: Locate and retrieve equipment 2: Locate President 3: Get President to escape capsule 4: Secure air Force One flight path 5: Detach UFO from air Force One Background - Trent Easton's plan to abduct the President is in motion. The Carrington Institute response hinges on removing the President from air Force One before Trent can do the same. DetErest - This mission is quite easy compared to some of the previous missions. Speed will be an asset, as the faster you are, the fewer guards you will deal with. Also, your starting point will depend on where you exited the previous level, air Base Espionage. If you entered the plane from high up in the main deck, you'll begin on the main floor. If you entered it from underneath, past the laser grid system, you'll begin the underside of the plane. It doesn't make much difference though. I prefer starting on the main deck, because it's the easiest way to have exited the previous mission. You will be closer to your first objective if you exited through the laser grid system though.     This first section of walkthru assumes you exited air Base Espionage from atop air Force One. If not, then skip ahead two paragraphs. From this starting point, just head forward, through the door in front of you, not harming the presidential security force, of course. Just keep heading forward, through a total of four doors, until you reach the end, where a red grate hatch is on the floor. Open it, and hop down. Down the hatch, and through a door, is the escape pod for later in the mission. Just pass by it, and through a number of rooms in the planes underbelly, until you reach two members of the flight crew working in the kitchen. The man will identify you as a spy, so knock both of them out with your firsts. Continue on, through a room with a hoverbike that you can't use, and into the last room. This is where you'll start if you exited air Base Espionage through the laser grid system. A man in brown overalls is here, and he will sometimes pull out a Cyclone on you. You can build up ammo this way, as he'll pull out more and more of them, if you disarm him. After you knock him out with your fists, grab his keycard, and activate the red button on a pole. The button turns green, and the lift raises, revealing your equipment. Pick it up. Objective 1: Complete. Head back, into the room with the hoverbike, and activate the switch in that room, if you want the hoverbike to be available for you in the next mission. You might as well, it only takes two seconds. Keep going, into the next room, where you knocked out two crewmembers. There is a food lift at the back of that room. You can crouch, and use it to lift yourself to the main deck, where you started the mission. Just activate the computer beside it on the wall. It saves time, and a confrontation with Presidential Security, who will now be after you. Head through the door that you see when you exit the lift. In that room, dodge the Security, and head up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, hang left, and head all the way left, into the President's room. Confront him to get Objective 2: Complete. After you speak with him, and watch a cinema scene, you can exit. Do not exit his room before that, or he'll call security. You can exit through the door you entered from, or the door behind him. Head down the stairs, and to the left. Black-clad NSA Bodyguards will be swarming the air Force One, so take them out with well placed head shots to maximize damage. Pick up any ammo from fallen Presidential Security. Once you collect enough of their K7 Avengers, use that high power weapon. Head forward, through sets of doors, and you'll encounter more NSA Bodyguards. Take them out with well placed head shots. In a next room, you'll catch a glimpse of Trent Easton. Ignore him as he flees, and jump back, to let his Blonde Guards fire at you. Immediately after their fire, lean back in, and paste them with head shots. This is the most effective way to deal with the heavily shielded guards. The same goes for the Blonde guard on the left. Lean out for a split second, and lean back in while he fires. When he stops, lean out and get him with head shots, and be prepared for more NSA Bodyguards to appear behind him. Enter the door behind him, and find the red floor hatch again, and head down it. The president will follow, but beware of another NSA Bodyguard who is usually in this room. Kill the Bodyguard, and allow the president to enter the escape capsule. Head back upwards, all the way back, sticking to your left side of the plane. Find this alien-like tunnel, and toss your lone Timed mine into it, and run. It will explode on it's own, while you're safely running to complete your next objective. Objective 5: Complete. Head up the stairs, and this time, keep heading forward instead of turning back to the President's room. A few guards will await you, but they are easily taken care of. You'll eventually reach the cockpit of the air Force one. A small button awaits on the controls, straight ahead, and two guards are present. Charge in, and hit the button. The cinema scene kicks in, and the mission ends when you push this button, and the guards will not have time to react to you being in the cockpit. Objective 4: Complete. It is important to complete this final objective as quick as possible after detaching the UFO with the timed mine, as the air Force One will crash in a specified time, and you are given just a bit more time than you need to press the button, and secure the flight path.
