Menus
Once you start the game, you will be greeted with a short cutscene setting the scene. You will then be presented with a weapon selection screen. At the moment, your options are pretty limited. You'll notice that the recommended weapons are already selected, it's your call on whether you want to change this or not. It really depends on your playstyle. Simply press to continue onto the level.

Intro
When you start (depending on your graphic content filter) you will see a soldier dying in a fire, trapped in a vehicle. Despite Mason's best attempts, he dies in the fire. The commander, Savimbi, then hands you a machete. This can be used for our first challenge. This challenge isn't a difficult one, and is fairly straightforward. Through the next sections, you'll need to kill 15 enemies. Simply press to use the machete. Savimbi will order the unit to charge, so go forth!

MPLA armor
You can easily complete Challenge 1 in this section. Simply use the melee button to use your machete to cut down the infantry. Just be careful not to get killed while being in the open! For this challenge, I strongly recommend that your difficulty is Recruit. It is extremely hard on Veteran. Once you're done with the machete, head towards the mortar crews, and start taking them out. Once you've killed enough enemies, you will get the opportunity to call air support.

This is the only opportunity for the second challenge. Within the section, you must destroy all the armor. If you miss, a restart from checkpoint is needed. Be sure to only press the prompted button when you're in cover, as you'll likely die out in the open. Don't wait until the MG run is done to restart, otherwise a checkpoint will trigger and you'll have to start the whole mission from the beginning. There is a total of 4 tanks to destroy in the first run (don't bother with the ground troops), be sure not to miss them.

In order to start the second one, you'll need to take out the MG trucks, which will be marked out.
