Hi here's my take on the mission:

Overview

None present, but there should one for the sake of completeness.

Intro

Superb, the camera is great, the story is well told and the music is great as well.
However, there were a few oddities...
Terrorists died simply by passing soldiers, terrorists firing clearly over the head of their targets but killing them...Maybe some kind of bug I think.

Briefing

Short and to the point, extensive weapons selection, very good.

Mission

The chopper dropped me off and I entered the town. I think I shot a friendly sniper, but I am not sure about that.
Then I ran into a group of US soldiers, but keep my trigger finger from acting this time  .
At this point I wondered why simply killing the enemies in one spot requires the Navy SEALs; couldn't it be done by regulars?
The mission however progressed nicely with intensive urban combat taking place and I had some very scary moments with enemies shooting in my face and vice versa. I really liked the snipers on the roof, they were somewhat tough to beat. When I reached the western end of Cayo and killed a few loons here, I was suddenly greeted by an "endmission" screen. It would be good to have the objectives ticked off and a few seconds to realize it :-).

Outro

Short but good as well!

Conclusions

A good mission with intensive urban combat. Intro is top notch, seems you are a good storyteller. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Mathias
