Deep Blue
Note: The latest patch took out the parachute requirement and I think you no longer get blue lights for finishing it.
This is a very fun mission set on a luxury cruise ship. However the ship has been taken over by about a dozen Pirates who you have to eliminate. With the swimming pools in the middle you basically are moving around the outside in a big box pattern. I guess you can slaughter them with sniper rifles but I had a lot of fun sneaking up on them and cutting them all down with sub-machine guns.
The vast majority of pirates have no armour and are easy to kill but there are a few with very heavy armour. Those guys do have no side armour however so I just split my guys, outflanked them and shot them through the sides at point blank with SMGs. Awesome! The other cool way to deal with them is both of them start near a big bomb so if you can lure them into the bombs blast range they will probably be half killed. The one directly north of where you start is very sweet I once killed 2 and injured a 3rd guy with this bomb.
The other cool thing about this mission is you can blow people right off the ship or into the swimming pool and then their corpse makes a lovely decoration at the bottom of the pool. Also I noticed that this mission drops a LOT of cool weapons but I don't know if that is random.
Objectives
Kill all pirates.
Take 2 mercs. For this mission you can take 3 mercs but only get full points if you take 2.
Land 8 headshots.
Land 4 critical hits. This is an annoying objective because it seems to me to be random. Maybe someone else knows how to do this more consistently. I took in the max + boost armour I could find and still failed this objective.
