Sorry, but thanks to you I finally know why that’s stuck in my head lately.

I never managed to take out those early helicopters, didn't know you could. I just shot down the barricades fast as possible and ran on into the next room.

Pro tip you didn't pick up on- you can shoot lights and furniture in the laser maze to open pathways and kill enemies with explosions- very helpful to have the lasers help you take out the bad guys.

Definitely use Barrage attacks against Vlad- they're very damaging. Glad you found the Heavy Machine Gun- I was going to point it out if you didn't.

The next level is my favorite, you probably already know why.

The Museum Level is my favorite for a number of reasons. The opening cutscene is one- dissension in the enemy ranks nearly leading to them getting things started, and then Tequila sees Billie for the first time in fifteen years and the expression on his face- he is so visibly upset. Then you got great action and so many interesting set pieces I can't recall seeing in another FPS. The challenge is nice too- so many enemies and so little cover in a lot of places. The health packs are welcome, but more so is that music you hear when all the enemies in an area are dead.

The Russians in SWAT gear are probably the Mafiya's equivalent of Spetsnaz, doesn't surprise me the Russian Mob has one.

BTW, there is a special Achievement for the Museum-

Paleontologist (Bronze)

In the Chicago History Museum level, completely destroy the Brachiosaurus or the T-Rex.

That is what Paleontologists do in real life, right? Shoot up and destroy dinosaur skeletons? :D

I have pulled it off, but it takes a lot of deliberate shooting. You have to get every bone and leave just the frame. Some bones are load-bearing and set off chain reactions if shot, that helps.

The boss fight isn't that great, but they do get style points for the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit (way to endanger Asia's greatest artistic achievement, Mr. Woo!) and giving the boss a Golden Pistol. Oh, and btw, if he were the Russian equivalent of Tequila, his name would probably be Vodka or Mule. :D

The boss fight in this video never impressed me, but at least we get more of the plot. I hate that smoke room too, although rooms I hate more are ahead.

Betcha they cut a car chase level between this one and the next. :(

You can totally shoot Dapang when he's on the balcony (it does about as much damage to him as it does to Wong), but it's a lot funnier to see his entire life bar vanish after one barrage. :D

Barrages are very good against the Broadsword- I'm surprised you didn't use them.

Thanks for the LP.
