N.E.D. mission hints (Warning, Spoilers Inside!!)

[Cocobolo]

First off, READ THE BRIEFINGS! The following will give you a walkthrough, but if you want the full effect, you'll figure them out yourself!

Ned 01, Stutter Step:
As you can see in the cinematics, neo-Taliban/al-Queda are trying hard to take down karzai and his DEVGRU pretection team. You can see part of the firefight before insertion. To ease confusion, here's what you need to do.
Run straight for the building where Karzai is. Prepare to defend against attacks from the northwest, west, south, etc. DON'T touch karzai until you've been able to kill some of the tangos, or you'll have him following you around. Once you've taken some of them out, go ahead and grab him but keep him inside the building. When you have defended for long enough, you'll get a proceed to extract message. Run up the road to the west and a Blackhawk will descend. Stay sharp, depending on what difficulty you are playing you may have some more surprises!

Ned02, Triple Play:
This one's smooth. After insert, run to the target trailer and plant the listening device, you'll get a message when it's done. Run back to cover near the Delta spotters. If you have multiple teams, DO NOT allow them to engage the tango motorcade as it approaches, nobody should fire a shot until the message that the intelligence has been gathered appears. After that, take out any enemies you see, but stay away from the warlords in the trailer. Once you have killed the security element, a message will appear. Now it's safe to go grab the warlords. If you try to grab them before that, they'll shoot at you and if you kill them, the mission's over.
Once you have them, proceed to extract. Watch your 6 on the way for surprises!

Ned03, Pipe Dream:
This one is a little tricky. You don't want to engage any tangos outside until you have somebody up on the dam to stop the swarm of tangos dressed as Iraqi civil defense that will detonate the dam if they reach the top. If you have multiple teams, make sure they are set to recon until needed. After insertion, run down to the right and into the undrground tunnels, watch out for tangos around corners. Stay to the right and run up the stairs, keep moving because at some point here they will detect you and you won't have much time to get to the top of the dam. Keep moving thru the halls and up the teps until you get to the dam balcony, there will be resistance along the way. Throw some frags around each corner to get the guys on the right especially, then concentrate your fire on the left end of the balcony. Kill the swarm and now make your way down the walkway, watch for snipers in the big building control room. Now's a good time to use your backup team to move across the bridge and support you. The hostages may try to run for it,  if so, protect them. if not, you'll have to get them out of the building at th end of the walkway. Then just clear the control room, and extract.

Next mission continued in next thread.

Ned04 Midnight Express:
This one's not so bad.  Bring a LAW. After insertion, take out the truck with the Iranian general and staff in it. Make your way into the complex and search all command map locations for the documents. When you get them, locate the SF teams and help them out, there's a decent amount of Iranian regulars on this mission. Stay alert for a tank which will come thru the deisel plant and approach the extraction zone. Once that's done, the Blakhawks will extract you.

Ned05 Limping Jackal:
This one takes some thought, but is rewarding. Only certain obstacles can be cleared, and ones that can will have a message appear when you approach them.
Go left after insertion, toward the alley at the far left. Eliminate resistance and place charge on the back of the middle jeep (message will appear). Move out and go left up the hill, watch for resistance, and when you reach the trucks, place charge on the second one from the right (message will appear). Move down the street and watch for resistance, at the end of the street take a right. Blow the jeep (message will appear) and move forward, keep moving toward the square down the left street, past the downed Israeli mossad Helo. (he he) Once in the square, enter the storefront with the glass windows, and kill the bodyguards, but be careful, don't kill the Syrian agent. You'll be using NVG's, because it's pitch balck in there. Now make your way towards the embassy by exiting through the back of the room, down to the street, go right to the end, go straight up the tunnel blocked by the pickup.  You'll have to "push" it out of the way (message will appear),  by pushing against it, then backing away. Now go straight to the embassy, there's a yellow hezbollah flag on the flagpole! That's it.

Ned06 Deep seven
This ones' a little tougher but not too bad. Basically take your team into the complex and look for the command map icons showing the locations for the demolitions charges. Check out those nasty looking Bio-Hazard containers! Kill anybody you see, and plant the charges, then get out. If your demo guy gets killed, you can still complete the mission by killing all tangos. That's it!
