Time off for good behavior.
This is the first chapter, and Act, where you start your campaign. As you break out of your cell, follow Dom to the doorway. He'll give you a choice of which way to go, left straight into combat or right through an easier, tutorial setting. If you take the path to the right, (but you should take this path sometime because it has an achievement) you don't need our help, but we'll guide you through the path on the left. After moving through the next doorway, examine the back of the room for the first of thirty hidden Cog Tags.
After a bit of down time, follow Dom through a doorway to the left. Immediately take cover behind a pillar and engage the enemy Locust at the far end of the wide walkway. You can charge forward a bit to get a better shot, but don't get ahead of Dom. A point-of-interest trigger will highlight a few Locust on an elevated walkway to the right. Ignore them and conserve your ammo. They will be killed by a King Raven with the designation Delta Two Six instead.
Bust through the next doorway and again take cover immediately. There are some enemies straight ahead. Play it patiently and use your new grenades if you'd like. When the first batch of enemies is downed, don't get too calm. A new set of Locust is starting to cut through the doorway to the left.
Quickly find some cover to the right and ready a grenade. As the door falls down, toss the grenade at the enemies to thin out the crowd. Inevitably, Dom will succumb to the enemy attacks. Quickly revive him following the on-screen commands—you're going to need his help. Around this time, Delta Two Six will be shot down.
Watch as the Locust try to flank you on either side. If you hug the left or right walls, you can prevent getting surrounded. When the enemies are cleared, turn around and examine the back room to find a COG Tag.
Leave the room through the door the Locust cut out to exit to an outdoor battlefield. Quickly take cover behind the short wall to the left and pick off the enemies in front of you. They should stay back well enough, letting you patiently take out the forces.
When all enemies are dead, an invisible countdown begins during which time you must quickly find the third set of hidden COG Tags before a cutscene takes over. Examine the area directly left of the doorway you entered through. You'll head up a short set of stairs and turn left to find the COG Tags against a short wall. As the cutscene takes over, you'll be whisked away to the next stage in the chapter.
