Mission 7 - Black Ice


Strike Team Assembly:
Take out the few Warrior bugs near your LZ, and head west, taking out some Bomber bugs from a safe distance (they explode randomly a few seconds after they die). Continue across the ice bridge towards the Ammo Dump, and a Tanker will appear. Kill it and its bughole, then backtrack south across the bridge. Head east, and go across the wider ice bridge there. You'll trigger another tanker.

Now head for the waypoint on your map. Major Bishop will tell you to melt the three Solar Generators with your flamethrower. When that's done, the doors will be operational. Head through the right-hand (middle) door, and close it behind you. You'll see a some frozen gun emplacements, so melt them. Reload your ammo at the nearby Ammo Dump. Head towards the waypoint, but stay away from it for a second, while you assign your Cap Troopers to the guns: one above the middle door, one next to the eastern door. (see map)

Now move the rest of your strike team to the base entrance, and the Major will go inside. Stay in front and take out any bugs that approach. When Major Bishop comes out, you'll need to get outside the gate before the base explodes. Your Cap Troopers should be safe on their guns. Take the rest of your strike team through the door and close it behind you. Take out the Tanker bug and the bugholes around the Solar Generators.

Once the base explodes, a seemingly endless stream of Warriors will come down from the hills to the west of the Solar Generators, and from the east, as indicated on the map. Take your team back inside the base, while the Cap Troopers cover them. Now you can take your entire strike team to the Ammo Dump to reload. Head out the eastern-most gate. Regroup your strike team and head south. There are three new tankers with bugholes, one at each of the ice bridges. The two west-most bridges collaps from the tanker's fire breath. Once they're all gone, you can go home.
