We are still in New York. JC has returned from his mission at LaGuardia. His next mission should take him to Hong Kong, but Jock brought JC back to Hell's Kitchen to help his brother Paul. JC takes the opportunity for another "minimal force" excess ;)
All shots done in "Realistic Damage" difficulty.
JC sees Paul in his apartment at the 'ton hotel and is sent to the former NSF HQ:

Only one type of unit in the entire level. Boring.

With the evidence of the MJ12 conspiracy, JC returns to the 'ton hotel after sending the distress code:

3 Men in Black
1 Mr. Renton
1 Sandra Renton
1 JoJo
1 Drug addict (male, dead)
1 Drug addict (female, dead)
This one was fun. for a challenge, try taking out all the enemy troops in the hotel. Of course, prevent that anybody gets killed. I had to attack Paul and lure him into the bathroom so he would not see and attack the enemy.
--
Back to the streets, JC meets heavy resistance:

1 Polieceman
2 Civilians (male)
I put my level 4 speed augmentation to good use here. Leave the hotel through the window, then make a dash for the subway station (unless you want to spend more time in that level).
--
JC escapes to battery park taking the subway. But a nasty surprise is already waiting for him. The UNATCO has barricaded the exit from the subway station and sent Gunther Hermann to capture JC. Of course, a couple of troopers and combat bots can not prevent the expert taffer from making screen shots :)

2 Civilian (male)
1 Civilians (female)
1 Child
Note that the area is enclosed in an invisible box that JC can not leave. However, you can shoot through the barrier and the AI can walk right through it. I had a hard time luring a trooper who had run off back into the area.
--
Figuring that he would probably starve in the invisible box in battery park, JC finally surrenders to Gunther. He is knocked out and taken into custody at the secret MJ12 compound beneath the UNATCO HQ. Daedalus comes to the rescue and JC escapes. Completely pissed off, he teaches the MJ12 troops a lesson in "minimal force approach":

5 Scientists/Doctors (male)
2 Scientists (female)
2 Mechanics
1 Man in Black
1 Nurse
1 Secretary
1 NSF terrorist (dead)
1 Miguel (NSF)
1 Paul Denton (dead)
I don't like that level. It's tedious, and they steal all your grenades from you.
--
JC escapes with Miguel close behind. I can imagine his surprise when he finds out the secret MJ12 base is right below UNATCO HQ. He is further enraged by the fact that Alex Jacobson, Jamie Reyes and Sam Carter can not be knocked out to pose for the SP screen shot.

You knocked out Miguel!! Bad Luthien!! :cheeky:

If you took out all troopers in the 'Ton, how come Paul's still dead? Because you left through the window? Looks like a mistake to me.
Luthien on 20/1/2003 at 12:59
Is it possible to save Paul? Actually, I lured him into the bathroom to get him out of the way (by attacking him), then cleaned out the hotel. When I came back he was gone, probably through the window. In any case, don't forget his killswitch. I think he is already close to death when you meet him in the hotel. He would not survive the trip to Hong Kong anyway.
Azal on 20/1/2003 at 14:20
Lovin' it so far :thumb:
IIRC, you can save Paul by walking out the front doors of the 'Ton when you're attacked. The game assumes you knocked off all the badies and you meet him twice later on in the game.
Luthien on 20/1/2003 at 15:32
Where do you meet him? Does the killswitch take him out later?
santaClaws on 20/1/2003 at 17:49
Strange thing LUTHIEN (the big almighty Luthien) shouldn't know this .. but it's not really worth knowing, either. AFAIK you see him once and he tunes in once or twice via infolink, and that's all.
[spoiler]He doesn't die throughout the remaining, game, if I'm not mistaken.[/spoiler]
Deiyen on 20/1/2003 at 19:24
Ahaha!! We know something The Almighty does not know! [feels proud] :cheeky:
I noticed Paul was dead in the screenshots too, but I just assumed Luthien wanted more bodies.

you don't know .. if Paul survives, he's not to be found in the MJ12 base for obvious reasons: He's not dead, now is he? So what'd he be doing down there?
Hah! [feels even more proud (prouder?)]
Dragonclaw on 20/1/2003 at 23:44
Err... I thought I saw him there, at the lab... but maybe it's just my memory...
