Ground support was not something Psycho enjoyed doing - nor was it something he did well in the time that I've known him. Me, I did not mind the effort, since I was more apt to go stealth and ease myself into position - paint a target and watch the fireworks from safe harbor.
Psycho on the other hand, was the guy who preferred to max out his Nanosuit in armour mode, make sure all weapons are fully loaded, then take the area by charge. That was just the way he rolled. At least, until he arrived on this island.
Maybe it was the blast from that charge earlier or the events with me earlier in the mission, but providing ground support for the Sierra air strike team put Psycho into a mode more similar to mine. Yes, he was taking his time, moving slow and keeping a low profile.
Psycho managed to take out a handful of Korean People's Army (KPA) troops before reaching a makeshift fort half way down the hill toward the ocean.
Here, he used the stealth mode of the Nanosuit to check for any remaining KPA troops. The only ones near by were in a Hummer patrolling the area. A great position and a few quick shots eliminated the gunner and the driver - leaving the Hummer in great shape for potential use if needed.
JSOC announced that the KPA had taken over a beach resort and transformed the area into a base. How amazing that just a short time ago tourists were likely spending a decent amount of their annual income to sit in these very seats and watch a premium sunset.
It was Psycho's next goal to eliminate the KPA troops in the area, clearing the zone for potential use for the Delta Force and their supporting cast.
Moving down the hill under the cover of stealth was slow and steady. Psycho knew I would be proud. Along the way, he noted approximately 10 KPA troops in the area. Using the silencer, Psycho was able to knock out the troops inside the beach resort, then use the bar typically reserved for adult beverages and strength mode to eliminate support troops as they headed in his direction.
A quick walk around the area, showed that the area was clear. In the image below, you can even see the shadow of a proud Psycho walking towards his next way point.
JSOC expected the KPA to have some computers in the vicinity which may contain valuable data regarding Colonel Lee's reason for controlling this section of the island. Using satellite images from above, JSOC placed a marker on some heavy trailers near the area.
Psycho's next goal is to reach that area and gather any intel that exists on those legacy computers ... often referred to as "next gen" by the KPA. Trade and Technology Embargoes - see they can be a great thing.
