SWAT 3 - Mission 8: DBN

Mission 8: Wilshire, Hostage Rescue Briefing This is a TV station that was in the middle of shooting the Donna Briggs show when it was taken over by 9 suspects (1 unexpected), some dressed in normal clothing. There is no point being stealthy in this mission, so enter through side 1 in dynamic mode. Active Duty Breach the first door, then go along the walkway and have your team breach bang and clear the double doors. There is always at least 1 suspect here ready to fire, and there are sometimes up to 3. Once the immediate vicinity is cleared, get your element to rush through the doors on the right into the sound studio and kill the 2 or so suspects here. Watch out for hostages - don't shoot them and don't give the suspects time to turn and shoot them. Go back out to the corridor and approach the end - look out for guys on the stairs and on the ground around to the left. Just outside you will likely find a group of hostages and 1 suspect - get all of them ready for evac. Go up the stairs to the control area and search each of the small rooms with your element, again being careful to distinguish between suspects and hostages - if you see a gun, shoot. Go back down the stairs and through the dark passage. The next area contains a studio, where there will be lots of people, mostly hostages. Sometimes the suspects will be right at the back of the studio, and if you are not fast in killing them hostages will be shot. Probably the best tactic is to throw lots of tear gas and flashbangs in the room first, then send your whole element rushing in and hope for the best! Then it's just a case of securing the hostages and getting them out of there.
