The Godfather: The Game/Compound

This part of the game is really the hardest part to get through. Its very similar to warehouses and hubs but this team they take no prisoners. If you own a PS2, Xbox and PC the compounds should be close to identical. But if you own an Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii the compounds should be very different. You can do this any time but its highly recommended to do the following things: For the difficulty of conquering the compounds here is the order from the lowest to the highest level of intensity: Special note: These compounds are based on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. The PS2, Xbox and PC have very identical compounds but with the different way of entry. If you own the PS2, Xbox and PC you have to use stealth, crouch and maybe hand to hand combat to work your way into the compound. The most likely thing you should do the most is to blow up the cars and explosives especially near enemies that comes close to it to save time and have a breather if it becomes overwhelming. Be ready if there was any parked cars around, especially in transport areas. If you own the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, it will relieve you if you are well prepared to take your squad in but you must work with them if you want them to survive. If you have them around, you don't have to worry about stealth and it will help level the playing field. Now don't forget to upgrade your health, RPG style because if you can't survive even after a few minutes than you have throw in the points to help you survive a little longer to live. You'll benefit greatly if your health regenerates to at least 60%.
