CO-OP MAPS
New Co-op Campaign - Story: Rebel leader Manuel Suazo Azcona continues his quest to destabilize the governments of both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras despite the Ghosts' efforts to disrupt his organization. As the vice begins to tighten on the rebels, more key players begin to fall out and defect. Using the information from the defectors, the Ghosts need to release Azcona's stranglehold on the country by taking out his supply points and escorting relief trucks into the area. Finally, the Ghosts will need to infiltrate Azcona's compound and take him out, ending the rebellion once and for all.
Bridges - (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder)
Mission Briefing: We've been contacted by an enemy defector with intel on Azcona's plans. It appears he has since been captured, but not before dumping his laptop in the jungle. Find that laptop, save our turncoat, and extract ASAP - he won't last long.
Stronghold - (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder)
Mission Briefing: The rebel defector is now in your custody at an allied safe-house. A large enemy force is moving rapidly on your coordinates to try and silence him. You must defend this stronghold and keep the VIP protected.
Depot - (Ghost Recon: Desert Siege)
Mission Briefing: The defector's intel has revealed another of Azcona's supply points: a rail depot. Take out the ADATS defending its airspace and then clear out the depot area. Let's get a tracker on that helo and see if it leads us to Azcona.
Riverbed - (Ghost Recon: Desert Siege)
Mission Briefing: This one is a bit different, Ghosts: You'll be escorting relief trucks to the refugees along the border. With Azcona's army falling apart, his men are desperate and have begun raiding aid convoys. Let's do some good, people, and put a stop to it.
Ghost Town - (Ghost Recon: Desert Siege)
Mission Briefing: This is it, Ghosts. We've tracked those supplies to Azcona himself. He's holed up in his junkyard compound with a large vehicle pool. Gather any maps or intel you may find, but your primary objective is to terminate Azcona's command.
