BF2_Trooper 0 Posted June 12, 2007 I'm on the first mission of the invasion of Northern Sahrani, in which you lead a squad to protect this base. You're supposed to have arty and sniper backups but how am I suppose to call these when I need them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForceRecon 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Go to your map. You will see a radio that has ..Call for artillery support, and call for sniper support on it. Click on whichever u want. I never saw the artillery actually work. It took me several times to complete this mission. I had to run up to the ammo crates at the sandbag wall. Stay prone, and get a M136 and some rockets. Then pop up and blast the BMP's. You can also man the artillery gun at the wall, but the enemy seems to pick you off pretty fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teliko 0 Posted June 14, 2007 For the artillery they actually used abrams tanks, that's why it never works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted June 15, 2007 You're SERIOUS? Now that's some lazy scripting, hahaha! Just quietly, I never used the snipers or the arty. Just do the entire mission yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeb 0 Posted June 15, 2007 This mission sums up well the entire campain. If i remember, there's also a m113 or a vulcan, and the sniper team is just a bunch of totally useless guys, maybe with 1.08, this mission has been modified to a more epic one, too lazy to play again the campain and to test it.

Fred DM 0 Posted June 15, 2007 i used to wonder what the M-1 and the M-113 Vulcan were doing not far from the town. i belive that you can take over a position in the Abrams if you die as the infantry squad leader. funny thing is, the Abrams crew doesn't react at all, and you can't switch positions. the mission is pretty bad, too: the other guys that have taken defensive positions near at the sandbags get killed from miles away, and the second checkpoint doesn't even put up a fight. your own guys get killed no matter what you do: the BMP opens up on them from miles away. i always had to take cover behind the nearby houses. absolutely no thought or testing has gone into this mission.

mikupoiss 0 Posted June 18, 2007 The arty didn't work for me either. Never tested the snipers. And I completed the mission with relative ease. Gave as many AT136's I had in my disposal and put guys on hold fire. When the BMPs came down the road, I just gave them targets, while MGs provided cover and mopped up infantry. And I NEVER found the sniper team on the map. BUT I heard the second squad getting in fight wiht opfors. Even some BMP entered the town. But that "arty" Abrams (probably it) took it out. Strange mission... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
