Walkthrough

Target Time - 0:34

Watch both cinemas. Start out running, not strafing, and shoot 4-7 shots straight ahead. Since this is Agent, auto-aim will usually take out that guard there. Next, start into a right strafe, and look up about 45 degrees. You will pick up either 1 or 2 ZMGs here. Make a left, and kill the 1 or 2 guards here, picking up their guns. If none of the guards had double ZMGs, restart, since you can't kill Trev with only 1 ZMG.

Go right down the ramp. Go down the small stairs, and all the way to this little abutment on the right there, facing the inside of the building Trev goes into. Start shooting to take out the guard that will come. Now, it takes practice, but you need to learn how to time this part right. When it's time, run in shooting and try to hit Trev. Keep in left strafe now, and go around that big machine-like thing, and then shoot out the console. Keep in left, and go out the door.

Go down the ramp, in left strafe. Keep in left strafe. Basically, you want to be strafing down the ramp, shooting, and just hope you hit Trev in the head. This is very rare, and in no event even guarantees 0:34, but it is needed to get the time.

After doing this, make a 180 degree turn around still in left strafe. Keep down this catwalk, and soon you should see some stairs. Go down them, and if you killed Trev, the next door will be open (if he didn't die slow, that is). Switch to right strafe and go through the door, then down the ladder. As soon as you go down the ladder, tap on C-left as to not fall off the platform. If all went well, the level should be now fading out for a completion.

0:34 is a very hard time and you will most likely end up in getting a ton of 0:35s before finally nailing a run!
