This is one of the worst missions. It starts out fun but it's so buggy that it can be impossible to find the guy. It's also extremely CPU heavy for some reason. In the armory, I can actually fly planes around and increase the view distance to 10,000! It is nice and smooth. But with the exact same settings, I barely got 25fps on this mission.
It pretends to have a 'plot' and a proper progression, but it doesn't really. The three locations that get marked on your map, the one nearest always seems to be just friendly troops, the one in the middle always seems to be empty, and the other one has guys there. Apparently the bad guy can be there sometimes but I never found him there the 7 times I did that mission.
After that, you get a report of some resistance fighters needing your help. If you help them they tell you that the bad guy might be found at the power station in the south. If you go there you can apparently find him (don't listen to the guy at the gate, he lies). I never found him there though. The trail runs cold at that point though, and if you follow the guy at the gate's advice, you go on a wild goose chase that leads you nowhere.
Eventually you will get a message that the guy is spotted heading north. The message is always from the same town and he is always heading to the same town. My first attempt, I simply didn't make it in time because I was in the middle of nowhere when I got the message and I called the chopper and it just didn't come to me for some reason so the mission failed. (Although you can continue if you want to). The next 5 or 6 times I tried this mission, the same message would come in, but I would then have the chopper ready and I would scour all the roads and fields where the guy is heading, but I would never find him, and yet the mission would not end. I think the guy had simply vanished out of the game or something, because I searched like a military operation and on one attempt, I spent 5 hours in one sitting, travelling both on foot and by air to sweep the entire area. There was no sign of him.
On the 7th attempt at this mission, I bumped in to his second in command. He tried to run me over so I shot him. If you can capture him, do that, not that there seems to be any point to achieving objectives...
