This is just...insane. I'm about to enter the Ops Center again on Crow's Nest. I cannot begin to summarize the obstacles I've had to overcome...but I shall try. I have been running out of ammo at the worst of times. The Jumppack Brutes...one with a Carbine and no more shields, and I run out of Carbine ammo when I need to headshot him.
In the end, I was forced to use a Brute Shot to kill him...I fired at a Fusion Coil right beside him. From there I eliminated the two stragglers and began my venture to the Ops Center, taking the only Carbine I could find. I fought my way through, low on ammo, low on grenades, using every small thing to clear the way...just trying to save my Carbine ammo for those last two Grunts...I made it up to the Snipers, Plasma Pistoled one to death...and nearly the other, but he ran to safety. One Grunt and one sniper...and no more clips for the Carbine. I fired a shot at the Jackal...missed...fired again only to hear a dull click -- he had me pinned. I eluded his sight, getting closer. One frag, two...no luck. I used my Camouflage, and assassinated the Grunt. It was either the Grunt or the Jackal, and I had picked up two Plasma Grenades!
He spotted me as I hit the Grunt, and I pulled back to safety, strafing out to throw the grenades. He dodged them one after the other and pinned me down again...and all I could do was laugh. I waited...and crept out through a small opening, hiding beside the truck. He put his weapon away...and began to patrol. I rushed forth from the shadows and struck as he walked...I have come this far, and outwitted them all. I will not falter here.

Continuing: I had a brilliant idea. It was working well, but not perfectly. I misjudged the range the Grunts might throw from...or, how far away they want to be at minimum. One wasn't far enough away to do so. The other was, and his grenade came in to the hallway and I was caught close enough to the explosion. And to think...this was my first attempt at the level in this way.
