Locations and descriptions.
"North" is towards the sunset. The mountain range is to the S/SE and the glassed city is towards the W/SW. The play area is a rough rectangle, with its longest sides to the N and S. You start on a circular, green-ish lighted pad in the SE corner of the play area. If you get teleported for 'evac', this is where you will return.

Location: ENE of Olympic Tower (ONI HQ). The building slighty outside of the set of buildings that shades are put on later. Has a bright blue (lighted) stripe on each side.
Intel: 4 Brutes with short range weapons. No AA threat.
"Wisky3-Niner requesting immediate assistance." "Copy 3-Niner, go ahead." "Just picked up some evacuees, but we'ere surrounded by long-range shade turrets." "Solid copy 3-Niner. Leutenant, proceed to the waypoint and elimnate those shade turrets."

Intel: 3 shade turrets on the 3 buildings surrounding the pelican on the smaller building in the centre. Plasma type.
"Noble Six, we're getting reports of Elites and Engineers trying to break into the Misriah Complex. Take it out.
Objective: Neutralize Elites and Engineers - Neutralize the Elites and Engineers.
Location: Purple topped building immediately South of the Vyrant Tower.
Intel: 3 Engineers which gives the 4 Elites near permanant overshields. Take the engineers out first, then the Elites. They will Needle Rifles and FRGs.
"Command, this is Gunnery Sergeant Buck, of the 11th ODST, over." "Copy Gunnery Sergeant. Go ahead" "My guys got caught in a firefight in the Nobolose Tower, roof collapsed. I gotta get over there to get them out." "Solid copy. Noble Six will escort your Falcon to the Tower"
Objective: Escort the Falcon.
Location: the falcon spawns on a tall building in the south-east corner of the map. The one with a thick tower, and a thin tower, connected at the top, and with struts between them.
Intel: You need to keep pace with the Falcon (ish). When it stops, get within 100m to trigger it again. It stops in front of the SinoViet building first. Then it circles around behind it. Then the building in front of the Vyrant Tower. Then to the Nobolose Tower (big crator in the roof, lots of flames).
"Command, this is Gunnery Sergeant Buck, of the 11th ODST, over." "Copy Gunnery Sergeant. Go ahead" "Need escort on a classified op. Send someone who knows how to fly a tight formation."
Objective: Escort the Falcon
Location: The Falcon spawns on the building SE of the ONI tower. In between the ONI Tower and the set of 3 red highlighted, curved buildings in circle. On the side nearest to the Hospital.
Intel: As above, keep up. First stop is just a take off right next to the building. Then, it heads towards Sinoviet, stopping in between two buildings (on of the bridge linked one, and another freestanding one). After that it stops at a building briefly and then flies out of the city. I encountered a LOT of Banshees during this mission, so stay sharp.
"Command, this is Gunnery Sergeant Buck, of the 11th ODST, over." "Copy Gunnery Sergeant. Go ahead." "Phantom's got one of my squads pinned, I need to take it out and evac my troopers."
"Objective: Escort the Falcon
Location: The Falcon begins by circling a small building directly North of the Vyrant tower.
Intel: Follow it. Again, lots of Banshees. It flies south on the east side of the Vyrant tower and then stops North West of the SinoViet centre. It then flies South to a small building SSW of SinoViet, where it engages a Phantom. Help Buck to destroy it. Once its dead, your objective is complete. The Falcon will land to pick up some ODSTs but you don't need to worry about it any more.
This list may not be complete. Let me know if you encounter any I've missed.
