We pick up the game as the duo is on the trail of a man named Major Rebko. Rumors within the Russian black market hint that the Major knows the whereabouts of our four EMP weapons. We track Rebko to a place called the Yastreb Complex - a web of abandoned subway tunnels buried under the Red Square.

As we make our way past the rusting subway cars, we see the flashlights of Rebko's armed guards coming down the tunnel, preparing to smoke us out. Our mission gets off to a rough start. As we come around an old subway car, an enemy grabs us from behind and starts using us as a human shield. Our partner could try to shoot our capturer, but since many of our vital organs are in the way, it's a dangerous proposition.

Just because we are caught in a chokehold doesn't mean we are useless. We elbow our captor in the ribs, causing him to stagger back and become momentarily exposed. This gives our partner the, opportunity he needs to take the target out. It isn't the smoothest introduction to Conviction's co-op campaign, but the events emphasize the importance of coordinating actions with your partner. If players want to make it through Conviction's co-op campaign, they'll have to stay in constant communication with their teammate.
