3:45 is definitely the time to make a run for it.
Great guide, well done dude.
Playing on Veteran difficulty isn't too hard, but there is a glitch that you can use to complete each mission on Veteran difficulty whilst playing the vast majority of the time on recruit.
The way the glitch works, is you play the mission on recruit difficulty until you get to the final checkpoint of the level. Return to the main start screen, go to Mission Select, choose the mission you have just been playing and select Veteran difficulty. As soon as the mission begins to load, quit to your console dashboard and close the game completely. Restart the game, and go choose Resume Game, and your progress will be saved at the last checkpoint, but you will now be on Veteran difficulty.
You can find a list of all of the last checkpoints for each mission in the game and a video showing how to use the glitch here:
See “Deep and Hard” for general Veteran Tips.
Heat:
For some reason most people seem to have a lot of trouble with this mission but I find it rather simple. On your way back down through the village to meet the chopper there is an element of trial and error involved but the checkpoints are very close together and although there is a time limit you should reach the bottom with plenty to spare. Take out a couple of waves of enemies out the back of the small barn on the right before heading out that way and making a run for it, skirting out wide around the edge of the field. You can stop to take out any enemies you notice shooting at you if you like and you have the airstrikes available but don’t get bogged down. Because of the regular checkpoints just run!
There is no one “best route” but if you get killed try a slightly different route next time or take out the enemies that killed you. You can take cover in the church briefly on your way down. By that point you’re almost there. Stay in the building at the bottom of the hill while you wait for the chopper and when it arrives wait for the prompt to get in before you leave the building or the guys stepping out of the back will block you from boarding and get you killed.
The Sins of the Father:
This is a nice straight forward mission really. Just put all the usual tips into practice and you’ll be fine. There are a couple of occasions when your friendly helicopter will come in and clear out a group of enemies for you so wait in cover while it does it’s thing.

but I was most excited in the mission “Heat”, when you need to get to the evacuation point.
The easiest way is to NOT destroy the leftmost tank and run along the right edge to the church, where you can launch a Stinger into the tank and immediately run to the point.
Here is the video: https://youtu.be/uQsa97McmCI
Destroyed all Javelin tanks. Then he shot at the group that was breaking through the barn on the right. Then, using air support along the left edge along the ditch, I reached the shed. There were 2 more airstrikes from it: on the road and on the right edge of the field. Then, until they came to their senses, without shooting anyone, he ran through the house with fuses to the church and without stopping until the evacuation point. You can lie down there and wait for your comrades.
Next, run along the right field, go around the house on the right side and run left diagonally to the hillside (where there is another two-story house. It’s better to throw a grenade at its wall from afar - about 5-6 opponents will run there. When they find themselves in the field from your sight, the grenade will just explode, and you will just need to finish shooting them. Throw a smoke gun forward and lie down in a small trench (you will most likely be caught on the way to it, so it’s better to lie down).
Then the last push: throw a couple of smoke into the forest and run to the helicopter. You can lie down in the left corner near the sewer pipe if the helicopter has not yet landed.
