MarkVanDamme Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 OK I admit it, I'm stuck! Trying to capture the General, on mission 9 I think. Got to the last scrambler, but I can't destroy it, my team won't last that long! There's loads of walkthroughs around but they seem to be for the Xbox version, where IIRC you control a black hawk and tanks!? Anyone got a guide handy?

peterm1 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Yes this can be a tough mission. I replayed it recently and found it much easier second time around. I also got killed a lot (or my men did at certain points) but I have noticed in this game that it seems to be fairly random, rather than totally scripted. I think small changes in you route, approach to key pinch points etc can sometimes make a difference. I am not sure how this works but by restarting a mission and playing thru it again it sometimes seems that small differences accumulate and what was dreadfully hard last time becomes a lot easier this time, perhaps because the way triggers are set thee enemy spawns differently or perhaps becasue they are programmed to look for enemy approaching in one direction more than another just as you cna tell your AI where to cover. Ifyou are in a game and after getting killed just go back to the last save point and then repeat the same steps exactly this does not seem to work out so well. So it is definitely worth exploiting this feature by trying differnt tactics and approaches. Oh a couple of small tricks I learned second time around. As you approach these scramblers they, well. scramble your HUD display and also stop being marked on the tactical map. Before this happens go into the map and click on waypoint. Put a waypoint directly over the location of the scrambler. The waypoint continues to display in game and on the map even when the scrambler is working so you can work out how close to them (and to danger) you are at any moment. This helps a lot. When the scrambler is located just sneak up, take out the few enemy who directly engage you then if you can see the scrambler unit - a big rectangular box that looks like a washing machine with a aerial on top, shoot it or grenade it. Then when it's dead, and the objective has been confirmed back away from the location as if you approach and there are any enemy alive - which there often are - you have to risk getting killed for no good reason. There is also at least one such location where an overhead sniper sits immediately nearby in full view of the scrambler with an RPG and you will get killed a lot till you work out how to locate and take him out. (There is also a panhard and mchine gunner covering the area.) Best bet is to avoid both of these as you can approach this point from another direction, (thru one of those funny little arcade "tunnels" ) knock out the scrambler then back away unharmed to go on to the next objective if you avoid the proximity these does not bother you after this.
