COD Black Ops 2: "Old Wounds" Mission Breakdown, Lore, and Complete Walkthrough Guide

The 1980s Cold War era of Call of Duty: Black Ops II features one of the most unique missions in FPS history. In Mission 3: Old Wounds, players take control of Alex Mason alongside Frank Woods and Chinese agent Tian Zhao as they traverse the barren deserts of Afghanistan in 1986. This guide covers the complete mission objectives, campaign consequences, and strategic tips for surviving the heavy Soviet offensive on horseback.

Story Overview: Why Alex Mason and Frank Woods Are in Afghanistan

Set on September 5, 1986, Old Wounds drops CIA operatives Alex Mason and Frank Woods into Afghanistan to investigate the ties between primary antagonist Raul Menendez and Soviet forces.

To gain information on Menendez's whereabouts, Mason and Woods form a temporary alliance with the local Mujahideen rebels, led by Rahmaan. In exchange for intelligence, the CIA agrees to assist the Mujahideen in repelling a massive Soviet invasion force spearheaded by Lev Kravchenko.

Tactical Objectives and Key Gameplay Mechanics

1. Horseback Combat & Stinger Missile Strikes

Unlike standard infantry missions, Old Wounds introduces full-scale mounted horseback combat. Players navigate wide-open canyon battlefields while firing rifles, throwing mortars, and lock-on target Stingers directly from horseback to destroy incoming Mi-24 Hind attack helicopters and Soviet armor.

2. Defending the Mujahideen Base and Weapons Cache

As the Soviet army launches a multi-pronged assault, players must pivot between key tactical points:

• West Blocking Point: Stop Soviet infantry and BTR armored personnel carriers from pushing past the valley gates.
  
  
• Retaking the Weapons Cache: Clear out enemy squads invading the underground supply tunnels to secure explosives and mortar shells.
  
  
• The Final Tank Charge: Ride into a massive armored wave alongside dozens of allied cavalry to plant charges on Soviet tanks.
  
  

Critical Campaign Decision: Interrogating Lev Kravchenko

At the climax of the mission, Mason and Woods capture Lev Kravchenko. This scene triggers a major choice that impacts the entire Black Ops 2 storyline:

• Resist the Brainwashing (Recommended): By repeatedly resisting the urge to shoot Kravchenko, players allow the interrogation to play out. Kravchenko reveals that there is a mole inside the CIA working with Raul Menendez before Frank Woods executes him. This unlocks key narrative Intel for future missions.
  
  
• Giving In to Numbers: If the player gives in to Mason’s visions and shoots Kravchenko immediately, the interrogation ends early, causing the player to miss vital lore regarding the CIA traitor.
  
  

All Intel Locations in "Old Wounds"

Finding all three Intel items unlocks the High-IQ challenge for the campaign:

1. Intel 1/3 (Cave Command Center): Located inside the main Mujahideen cave base near the three soldiers operating the radio system.
   
   
2. Intel 2/3 (Valley Battlefield): Found in the middle of the desert valley near a pointed rock structure marked with ammo crates and a red flag.
   
   
3. Intel 3/3 (Ravine Cave): Located on the ground right at the entrance of a shallow cave near the eastern rock formations.
