mission "ghost dance" elite level. 
(works for version 1.03 or version 1.04)

What a frustating level.
I tried mission countless times and the screen always ends early as an unknown hostage gets killed.

note: in your planning phase everyone blitzes!
note: in planning all teams (except for red) starts at west point.
note: there are three teams.


---step 1---
with red team, start at far corner closest to the rope bridge.
blitz across the bridge, not under it, and turn left toward the single hostage.  if you are lucky your partner will snipe lookout tower guard 2 [this guard is on 2nd level.]

---step 2---
continue blitzing and kill 2 guards [1st level], as they are racing to the lone hostage to kill him.

---step 3---
order your partner "hold" to guard this lone hostage, so you can go on your own sniping mission.
go up to level two and try to snipe lookout tower guard1.  try not to break the glass.  Go toward the other lookout tower and confirm death of lookout tower guard2.  use your heartbeat monitor to make sure level-2 is clear.

----step 3-a (alternate)----
use four teams and have red team hold.  Then, use blue team for the sniping mission. (steps 3-6)

---step 4---
go down to level one and kill guards in outer rooms of chamber A [left] and chamber B [right].  i think there are 2 guards in chamber A, and 1 guard in chamber B.

---step 5---
go up to level3 [catwalks] and snipe the guards.  Try not to walk over the main hostage room (via catwalk) if possible so as not to alert the 4 terrorists watching the 4 hostages down in level 1.

---step 6---
return to lookout tower1 (level 2).  you should be able to see in third person mode 3 of the 4 terrorists (let's call them X,Y and Z).  walk to the north glass pane and switch to sniper mode in 1st person.  from this position you should be able to see the terrorist-Z (closest to the hostages) [ you should be barely able to see his head through your rifle sight]; also you should be able to see the terrorist-X on the west glass pane by the palm tree.
Give the go-code "alpha". Once you hear team-green and team-gold come through and frag-grenade and engage both tunnels and through toward the hostages*, immediately snipe terrorists X and Z! [*I had green and gold take separate chambers and enter the main room via separate tunnels.  each team threw a frag grenade near the exit of the tunnel.]
Terrorists W and Y should have been killed by a green and gold's grenade + bullets    OR    bullets + bullets.

The mission should automatically end now as all the terrorists have been killed.  (I counted 14 of them)
