They then spot some trucks and watch them drive away. The squad, led by Haggard and the thought of gold, fight their way through, but after checking the bodies, find nothing. They arrive at the harbor, but find that it is full of mercenaries. Mike-One-Juliet then sends them to a harbor full of suspicious activity and says that if they do a good job, she could get them out the company and in to a better unit. Just then, a rocket is heard hitting a US tank nearby, to which Mike-One-Juliet sends the squad to defend it from the enemy reinforcements until more US forces arrive. The squad is then sent to destroy a Russian radio outpost before they call for reinforcements, but they are too late as the call is made and more Russian forces arrive. Bravo-One Charlie is sent ahead to clear the pass of anti-tank missile launchers and to escort the tanks to the other side of the town where the main assault is to take place. The squad had been given orders to destroy fuel and missile storage facilities and to then meet up with a US Armored Division and escort them into the Russian-held city of Zabograd. There, Marlowe finds the first case of gold. Haggard sends Marlowe inside to check out the house. On what was supposed to be Redford's last mission before retirement, the squad is sent to move through more Russian territory when they find a house with the Legionnaires' insignia on a sign in front, Acta Non Verba - Latin for "Action, Not Words". Haggard finds a gold bar in the suit of a dead Legionnaire mercenary, starting their interest in the Legionnaire's gold. After the airstrike finishes, Bravo-One clears out any survivors and encounter the Legionnaire Mercenaries, a mercenary group said to be the strongest military organization in the world. They barely manage to escape, and are sent to destroy radar jammers to let an airstrike destroy the artillery. When the squad joins Juneau convoy, it is attacked by another artillery barrage. Bravo-One is then sent to clear a Russian-occupied farm before being extracted, but when their helicopter is shot down by anti-aircraft fire, they are then sent to destroy the anti-air emplacements and raid another Russian-occupied farm in Juneau Convoy's path. The squad is then sent to clear a Russian-occupied river crossing when the Russians destroy the bridge. Mike-One-Juliet, the dispatch officer, sends Bravo-One Charlie (Preston's squad), to wipe out an artillery battery used by the Russians and later to use them to shell the incoming vehicles attacking Juneau convoy. This is where the player learns to look, jump, crouch, shoot, fire grenades, and repair vehicles. An artillery barrage wipes out the convoy, along with the squad's truck. Redford that Bad Company is much less formal than other military units. Preston meets his new squad-mates and quickly learns from Sgt. However, Preston is envious of the Company as they actually are fighting, while he is stuck at base. Preston likens the Company to be somewhere between a special needs class and death row since the unit is considered expendable by the Army and is meant to keep the Russian Army occupied while the real Army prepares. Nicknamed "Bad Company" by the grunts, the unit is said to be a conglomerate of all the misfit soldiers that can't fit in another unit due to their actions. Rumors start to spread about the 222nd's B-Company. He feels due to his boredom that someone on the base will do something stupid, just to make the place more interesting, and he feels he will be that person. Įxpecting to get right in to the action on the front lines, Marlowe became very disappointed as his unit did not receive orders and he was forced to pass time by playing cards and watching the war on the news. Once he enlisted, he was shipped to Europe where he was stationed in Łódź, Poland. Before his life in the army as a soldier of the 222nd Army Battalion, Preston grew up always wanting to be a soldier due to his family's heritage.
