Your transport has crashed victim of enemy fire in hostile territory. You've managed to survive somehow, although slightly wounded. There might be other survivors of your squad, so look for them.
Move away from the crash site as soon as possible and head back to your COP.
Only your squad leader had a map of the area. You can try to find his corpse and grab it, but that might be too risky.
Move stealthily and use concealment and cover whenever possible. A single shot might reveal your position to the whole area.
This mission uses some of the following scripts:
- Urban Patrol Script by Kronzky
- Cover by General Barron
- DTV by kenoxite
- Modified spectating script, by Kegetys and Faguss (see instructions)
Plus most of the features available in WW4 EXTENDED.
If you are struggling with this mission there's some hints you might want to read. Just be aware that it might spoil the !FUN!
The spectating script allows you to spectate other players or AI units after you die, both in single and multiplayer.
The script UI appears after you die, and its rather simple to use. You can cycle between spectated objects using the arrows at the bottom right, or use the namelist menu accessible from the top right. The name of the currently spectated object is displayed at the bottom left. The view menu can be accessed from the "view menu" button from top left of the screen, from where you can cycle between different camera views and adjust the camera distance.
Pressing ESC will close the spectating dialog for 5 seconds (if multiplayer) or end it (if singleplayer).

- It's a difficult mission. Dying soon and often is expected.
- Don't linger in the crash site for too long. Not only enemy patrols will reach the area sooner rather than later, but the helicopter itself is a time bomb.
- GO PRONE. USE CONCEALMENT. Particularly when moving away from the crash site. This is the most critical part of the mission.
- Right in the crash site there's a map and a rucksack you can grab. Prioritize the rucksack. It always carries some bandages and, if lucky, some other goodies. Remember that you start the mission already injured (even if your unit's model doesn't show it).
- If you have DTV correctly running you can easily tell the enemies behaviour by listening to them. If they cough, chuckle, etc you're safe. If they are as silent as a clam or shouting they are looking for you.
- As long as you keep heading north you'll reach the COP eventually. You can alternatively go around by the east side. That might make some stretches easier, but it's riskier.
- There's bunkers spread out over the area. Use them as places to reassess your situation, take care of wounds, etc. Some of them might be manned.
Still need more help? Go ahead and spoil yourself with more hints.
- If you're reading this, play in cadet mode. In veteran, all units have raised skills which, among other effects, affect their detection rate.
- Walk crouched if you must move fast from one place to another. Only run when you're 100% positive that you won't be spotted (and, be warned, that will hardly happen in this mission). Also, you can toggle moving speed by pressing F (default key).
- Don't fall prey of tunnel vision. Make a habit of looking around and, particularly, behind you every now and then. You don't want to be shot in the back by a sneaky AI or stumble upon a patrol because you weren't paying attention.
- If you have been detected break line of sight and search for concealment (a bush) ASAP and as far away from the area you were detected at as possible. If you're lucky, they'll look for you elsewhere after a couple of minutes.
- OPF and Arma AI can't "see". It just has a probability to spot you based on several factors, including your stance, nearby concealment and speed.
- If you're hiding in a bush and you see an AI getting close to your position don't freak out and start shooting yet. Chances are that it hasn't detected you yet. With that said, if you see several units of the same squad approaching your position from different angles you can be quite certain that you're in trouble.
- Moving north following the coastline is probably the easiest path. Reaching the beach safely is another matter.
- If you manage to find a radio you are almost done with the mission. The radio will allow you to call for transport and CAS support. There's very few units with a radio scattered on the map.
- Remember that WW4 allows you to peek corners or roll sideways when prone (SHIFT+A, SHIFT+D) and peek over terrain and objects when also prone (SHIFT+S).
Gather any remaining survivors and head back to your COP.
Reach the COP
Good job.
You've safely reached your COP.
