Exfiltration

Exfiltration is the third co-op mission featured in Battlefield 3.

Synopsis
The players, callsign Snake 6-6, begin armed with an M4A1 with an ACOG scope, as well as a suppressed M9. They attempt to work their way silently through an apartment to retrieve a defector, Hamid Al Zakir, who defected due to his immediate family being taken hostage.

Once he is taken, the players and Hamid head back to the convoy from where they started, and begin to move down the road, defeating several ambushes of PLR and Iranian infantry. However, in a courtyard, the convoy gets caught up in a crossfire, where two marines are killed. Snake 6-6 boards the HMMWVs and man the M2 machineguns that had been left vacant, and the convoy continues on its way. However, an IED destroys the lead jeep, and the convoy must turn into yet another courtyard, where again they are ambushed. They bail from the HMMWVs, which are quickly destroyed, and take cover in a small room, where the players and the remaining marines hold off attacking PLR and Iranian infantry. After several minutes, an AH-6 Little Bird arrives, providing fire on several PLR insurgents who had taken up a position in a highrise opposite of the bogged down marines. Meanwhile the marines and Hamid make their way to a UH-1Y Venom for exfiltration.
