She's right at the start of the sub-level where you enter the mansion proper. You go out through the gym and she sees me as she walks into the room opposite.

She says "What are you doing here?" which alert the guard standing round the corner, and then all hell breaks loose! :-)

The shotgun should be renamed the decapitator. It is a very nasty close range weapon, shooting someone close range always kills then, and it always seems to separate parts of their limbs. Very effective, one of the most powerful guns in the game, only it isn't a great long-range gun. I haven't tried the automatic shotgun yet, but I think that will just be as powerful and deadly.

I completed the mansion level the other day, and I found it really bloody hard to remain stealthy. Instead I just ran round the place with the alarms going off, killing anyone who stood in my way. I can't remember seeing a maid anywhere, though I didn't walk round the entire mansion so I guess that explains it.

I'm on a cargo ship now, and you have to scuttle it to sink its contents. It's another hard level sinse the enemies have those micro Uzi’s, and they keep tearing through armour pretty fast. Bloody hard but still immensely fun.

For I, the unfortunate who doesn't yet own the game, can someone please describe what the Shotgun is like to shoot, and the effect it has on bodies.

I'm on the mansion level too, now.

I got peed off at first, with that BLOODY maid - kept spotting me every time! So I shot the guys she alerted, followed her into a room and shot the biatch in the head, point blank.

It ended the game because you can't shoot 'innocents', but was immensely satisfying!

Several times, I got spotted and just went around shooting everyone. What fun! :-)

Finally got past the extraction level yesterday, and it wasn't bloody easy. The next level is in a village that been infected with the virus your traking. Very spooky, you get to walk around plastic tunnels to protect you from the virus, with dying townsfolk and biologiacal teams roaming around. No fighting mind.

The next level is set in a drug dealers mansion, its pretty fun apart from the beggining where you have to be stealthy. Its a bit pointless thanks to the super intelegent(sp?) A.I. who always know where you are. Anyway, the game has been great so far, and I can't wait to see what else is to come.

I think know where you are, and if I correct then you shouldn't have that far to go to complete the level. Its just getting through thoses soldiers who hide in the long grass which I found to be a problem. There are about three more jungle levels after this one before you get to play the helicopter extraction.

The last two levels are alot more easier sinse you fight along side three marines, and they do pretty good in clearing out enemy camps. Anyway, I'm still stuck on that bleedin helicopter level, thoses MG nests just cut through the helicopter health, their too bloody powerful. I'm not giving up though, I can't wait to see what the rest of the game has to offer.

I've just cleaned out the machine gun nest where the two guys sneak up behind you - the temple ruins.

I got to the Inca (?) pyramid last night but got picked off by a sniper just after that.

I've used 4 of my 5 saves and don't know how far i've got to go on this bit, so I'm wary about using the last one! I might have to re-start the level. :-(
