Bothersome 10 Posted October 29, 2011 Spoilers... OK I could use a little help here. In this mission, I am to stop the CEO from escaping. HOW? What am I supposed to do with an un-armed helicopter other than crash into him? I'm in expert mode by the way if that makes any difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armored_sheep 56 Posted October 29, 2011 Fly close to him for a while. (50-70m) He should get scarred and will stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopperforce 10 Posted October 31, 2011 yeh i was in about 20 m away, right under him in fact trying not to flare up into him. Would have been better above him, I guess in real life if you could match and fly directly above another chopper you would disrupt it's lift but possibly your own as well. I remember reading a book by a Royal Navy Lynx pilot that said occasionally the Seaking SAR bird would pass above them and cause a momentary loss of lift whilst trying to land back on a carrier.

DocMoriarty 10 Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I'm having problems here too. As soon as i deploy the rope to insert the team my helicopter immediately crashes down on ground? Well got this problem solved. Need to use mouse to deploy robe but when you not hit ALT too it fucks up your helicopter. Nice game design, really. Would prefer a simple kb key for special actions. But now i'm really stuck, Hayden got away, have to reload and after reloading my toon hangs in the main rotor and can't move anymore. Really all these bugs and shortcommings in mission design render the game slowly useless for me. Hope there is some patch incomming that fixes a couple of these annoyances.

DnA 5143 Posted November 15, 2011 Well got this problem solved. Need to use mouse to deploy robe but when you not hit ALT too it fucks up your helicopter. Nice game design, really. Would prefer a simple kb key for special actions. That is why this keyboard shortcut exists (2xR - default Rope Interaction) :) But now i'm really stuck, Hayden got away, have to reload and after reloading my toon hangs in the main rotor and can't move anymore. We hope to address auto-saving in a future patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleat 10 Posted April 10, 2012 Spoilers... OK I could use a little help here. In this mission, I am to stop the CEO from escaping. HOW? What am I supposed to do with an un-armed helicopter other than crash into him? I'm in expert mode by the way if that makes any difference. There is a subtle detail, I've found with this mission. You get told just before you land at the container compound that Haydon is leaving. At that time he seems to get in a helicopter Northwest of Seattle and proceed Southeast. If you save just after you land at the container compound, then hunt around for the location of the container, then, if it takes you too long (Haydon is proceeding towards the airport while you run around) just revert to the save. Eventually the player will find the container in question, just keep running around looking for it. You can reload the checkpoint and run right to it. Then, there's some dialogue but you can run immediately to the heavy and get it started as soon as you find the container. At this point, if you're early enough Haydon will still be proceeding obliquely towards you instead of almost directly away. If you get over to him it's quite possible to intercept his flightpath well before he overflies the centre of Seattle. You then have plenty of time to play dodge-em choppers with him until he relinquishes. In my earlier try, I was taking way too much time at the container compound to succeed. You have to achieve the last requirement "Ground Haydon" or you can't proceed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
