Upriver

Upriver is the 4th level in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The level starts off as the player and Haggard are sniper support for the rest of the squad. It takes place during a thunder storm which is used to mask the shots of the sniper rifle as the player takes out the patrolling guards.

Objectives

 * Obtain Sniping Position - you are told to take out the enemy quietly... so sneak up behind him and knife him. You may also shoot him with a silenced submachine gun, if you have obtained one through the supply drop in the last mission and carried it over to this mission. As soon as the guard is downed it goes to a cutscene which shows the guards through binoculars and Redford tells you to take the guards out using thunder as cover as your squad moves up.
 * Terminate Militia Sentries - this is when the sniping starts. Haggs is beside you and it's presumed he is using the binoculars to spot the guards since he calls out where each guard is. The first guard is on the first pier just up from Redford and Sweetwater. You are again told to wait for the thunder to cover your fire. Haggs will call out where the guards are and it is quite simple to follow your squad up the piers, waiting for the thunder before you fire. The last 2 guards will walk either side of the house that your squad is near. Wait for them to meet at the front of the house and they can be taken out with one shot.
 * Regroup with Unit - Run down the hill and meet up with Redford and Sweetwater. You might want to pick up a better gun for taking down large groups of militia who aren't far away ie not the sniper.
 * Follow Unit - Follow the squad and you will come across trip wires. You can either walk carefully through the jungle disarming them on the way - there should be 4 of them - or you could run through and fight the militia that appear when you trigger a trip wire. When you get to the objective marker you will have to fight through a group of militia. The mounted grenade launcher will come in handy here. You will then run round the side of a mountain and get another cutscene showing where the guards are positioned,
 * Assault Upriver - You can either pick of some of the guards from your starting position or run straight into the river and take out the militia that appear. Keep following objectives and taking out enemies and using the rocks as cover. Once your out the river there is a group of houses that will have some militia to take out.
