"This message is to all cells in Utah and Nevada. Korean tankers carrying jet fuel are nearing the Lake Tahoe area. Resistance operations are underway to intercept. Our soldiers need any and all resources we can provide to help them defeat the occupation. Use these encoded radio channels to communicate. I will, as always, be your conduit. This is the Voice of Freedom."
―The Voice of Freedom


"Overwatch" is the sixth chapter in Homefront.

Description[]

The squad is in hot pursuit of the fuel tankers. You'll provide close-air support while the others hijack the trucks. There's a gauntlet of enemy SAM sites, RPG teams, and blockades between you and the California border.

Plot[]

Robert Jacobs, Rianna, Connor Morgan, and Hopper Lee are in hot pursuit of the fuel tankers in their AH-700 Scout. They obliterate any KPA units along the highway and reach up to the convoy. After destroying the tankers' escorts, Jacobs drops his comrades onto the trucks. Jacobs protects the hijacked trucks as they proceed for San Francisco.

Walkthrough[]

Travel through the highway and destroy the KPA armor, but beware of the SAMs that are coming up. Once you have reached the trucks make sure all SAMs have been cleared drop the crew off and head on. Once in town use the thermal vision for this will help to find hidden rocketeers and vehicles. Don't go kamikaze, take your time and scan the area with the thermal. Move ahead of the convoy (but not to far) to search, you should pass two hotels soon so watch out there will be two squads with RPGs firing at you, use the defense and take evasive action and fire your rockets at one squad and fire the other fire the miniguns. Once pass the overpass you should be near the harbor, watch out there will be two SAM launchers and some LAVs and HUMVEES. Take them out quickly or your dead. Move on across the bridge and cover Hopper while he plants the C4. Don't worry about the tunnel ahead just cover the rear as massive amounts of M1151s and LAV-25s will appear move and cover, from then on it should be self-explanitory. By the time the C4 is planted, the mission should be over.

Newspapers[]

There are no Newspapers included in this level since you are always in a helicopter rendering collection impossible.
