Mission 7 (Shock and Awe)

"Shock and Awe", SGT Paul Jackson, Iran’s capital, Middle East, 1st Force Recon U.S.M.C The task for this mission is a snatch and grab of Al-Assad leader of the ultranationalist forces. You along with your Battalion are on board a nighthawk helicopter en route to the capital city. Whilst in the air, you soften up enemy forces on the ground using the mark 19 grenade launcher. Accompanying you is a cobra attack gunship helicopter. Their job is to support you in the air and also on the ground. Once you are in the city, you begin engaging enemy forces on the ground. Once in the city, you must wait for your armoured vehicles and tanks to catch up. After this you are given a new objective of evacuating a forward operation team who are pinned down in an apartment block. You help the distressed team to get to your helicopter for extraction. After take-off, you learn that SEAL Team 6 have spotted a possible nuclear device. As you begin to withdraw to a safe distance, your escort helicopter gets hit by an RPG and loses control mid-air before smashing into the ground. Lieutenant Vasquez makes the call to rescue the downed pilot. As you go for the downed pilot your team covers you as you retreat to the Helicopter. Once everyone is on board you begin to exit the blast radius if the nuclear device was to go off. And, sure enough it does. The shock wave of the explosion catches your helicopter and sends it into the ground leaving your name and many others on the Death List. Video uploaded by 3DGameCheck to You Tube.
