Tresser 0 Posted September 24, 2002 Sorry guys, I'm new... I searched, I couldn't find it. My brother-in-law and I just recently bought ColdWar Crisis in a cheap games bin and have totally got hooked. For the last week, we've been trying to perform an assault on the multiplayer map "Hostage Rescue (2-5 C)" on the island of Everon. We've managed to kill everyone and everything that comes our way in town - BUT - we don't know what to do with the captives. We can't make them run away, we can't make them get into a jeep/ural/UAZ/BMP/tractor .... or anything. How do we go about saving these three ignorant captives? All help would be appreciated.

LT.Schaffer 0 Posted September 24, 2002 Hi Tresser, Well if your playing with the base version that came with the game you will need to upgrade to v1.30 then to v1.46 and after that if you wanna keep upgrading you will have to buy Operation Flashpoint:Resistance Expansion which Uprgades you to v1.75. because after you upgrade the mission you are playing gets changed so that after that the hostages will join your squad after you free them.... hope this helps if not just e-mail me at:snakeeyes0684@netscape.net and i'll send you the upgrades. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tresser 0 Posted September 24, 2002 Are upgrades the only way to rescue the hostages? We don't have internet on our computers (except LAN - but no internet accounts). We come here to the library to go online in the forums...well, I do. He doesn't use the internet very much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted September 24, 2002 You could download the patches at the library and then burn them on to CD. Or you could buy a game magazine and get the patches off that. RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark_Shadow 1 Posted September 24, 2002 Just ignore them. Let them run or walk away. The mission is not done yet-you must attack a small outpost to the east at a farmhouse and kill all there if memory serves me correctly? There is like a T72 and a squad there.

bwenke75 0 Posted September 24, 2002 There is a bmp a T72 and a squad at the farm house. Only problem is that dont have enough laws to kill the first bmp that comes and then the others. Takes some thinking.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted September 24, 2002 Actually you posted in the correct place last time, the mission is an official Opf one so the thread really belongs in Opf Missions. As for the hostages, just kill any Soviets around them, they're then classed as free Moving to OM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted September 25, 2002 You dont lead the hostages away or anything like that. After you kill all the enemy in the first town (reinforcements included), a trigger will go off, and from there on, the hostages become sort of reinforcements (i.e, if your guy dies, you will respawn into a hostage's body).

Batstat 10 Posted September 26, 2002 At the outpost you can outsmart the T72 crew and get inside the T72. Find you angel from the woods and then sprint and mount the T72. Afterwards the rest is easy, some way to easy maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark_Shadow 1 Posted September 27, 2002 Yes-that is the way I did it also. Sniped the crew from a bush just on other side of road from farmhouse-then got to T72 and got in as gunner and laid waste to everything in about 30 sec's after that = game over.
