The main campaign begins with Dam, Facility and Runway, then moves through Surface 1, Bunker 1, Silo and Frigate. Treat the first operation as a foundation in doors, guarded corridors and mission gadgets. At Facility, rendezvous with 006 and destroy the gas tanks; harder settings also make the undercover contact and door decoder important. Protect scientists and keep their workstations clear of careless fire. Later stages broaden the task list, so read each briefing before choosing a weapon. Plan where to do gadget work and where to switch back to a gun.
The second Severnaya visit and St. Petersburg

Surface 2 and Bunker 2 revisit familiar locations with different circumstances before Statue, Archives, Streets, Depot and Train carry the pursuit through St. Petersburg. A returning map should prompt a fresh objective check rather than an automatic repeat of your first route. The campaign increasingly mixes conversations, escape and Natalya's safety with combat. On a first attempt, notice which event starts a timer or brings an ally into danger. Mark the nearest safe position and the next destination. On the next attempt, complete the preparation before triggering that event.
Cuba, the Control defense and Cradle

Jungle, Control, Caverns and Cradle form the final four main stages. Jungle combines the route through hostile terrain with Xenia's confrontation. Control shifts the emphasis to defending Natalya during her computer work: prepare your ammunition, identify the stairs and watch the approaches into the central room. Cradle asks you to stop the control console and pursue Trevelyan through his attack positions before the final lower-platform confrontation. Avoid treating the antenna walkways as a straight sprint. Learn the route safely, then shorten unnecessary movements when pursuing a faster clear or a timed reward.
The campaign contains 18 main stages; Aztec and Egyptian are two additional unlockable bonus stages.
