Red hammer mission[hidden agenda]

[Mowerman 0]

Hi, im having problems finishing this level, ive placed the 3 satchel charges and blown them up, the called in the yanks via the radio, then i join in kill'n them ruskies, then after a minute or so, the waypoint thingy says "escape from island", but every time i get to that waypoint, it says mission failed, i just cant work out what im doing wrong as all the objectives are ticked in the book except the escape one.

I thought is was a time factor, but im getting to the waypoint with heaps of time(even before the apc gets over the hill on one occasion).

any help would be appreciated.

This mission is near the end if I am not mistaken. There are some russian officers you must not kill. You have to find them when the yanks attack. this will trigger a sequence showing you escaping from the island, forget the way point. :)

I posted this in another thread a few weeks ago, so I'll paste it here:

You don't HAVE to capture the officers to win the mission. Note that this is not listed as an objective. If you do capture the officers, you are rewarded by an extra cutscene when you finish the game, but that's all.

*In order to complete the mission, you have to get off the island on a boat*, as well as complete the other objectives.

1) Planting the 3 three bombs should be easy enough. When that's done, head over to the hill ('Safe distance' away).

2) Set off the bombs via the action menu (or you can do step 3 first, which is easier).

3) Now there's a problem with the radio here: you have to radio a message like 'Done' before you are given the option to call in the strike. So press 'Backspace, 1'. Then press 'Backspace, 0, 0, 1' to call in the strike. Objective complete (this is where I had problems).

4) Now, you can't waste time here. A general rule is to get down to one of the boats BEFORE the M113 arrives on the scene. So kill as many people as you can (careful of the officers of course), then when some US troops head into the camp, go with them and head straight to the boat on the left. If you didn't wait too long the officers might still be alive an you can capture them, but if not, it doesn't really matter. Just get in the boat and drive away from the island. Mission complete.

Do not go to the extraction point that appears if you wait for too long. You objective is to get off the island, which you cannot complete if you go to that extraction point. You must get away in one of the boats before they are destroyed.

If I remember right (it's been a while), Dmitri gets command of a Spetsnaz squad. Nothing mind blowing, but it's a nice ending.

Alright, here comes my version:

Plant the 3 bombs. Note that the bombs are NOT satchel charges, since they do not show up in the inventory. You can pick up and place as many additional satchel charges as you want (in my first attempt I placed no less than 7 satchel charges around the camp; not that it helped me in any way). Start with the BMPs and proceed quickly, because a truck with soldiers arrives soon. If you are late it is still possible to find blind spots, though.

After the bombs are placed, go to the pair of speedboats to the right of the quay. Slide down the bank and walk as far into the water as is necessary to aim at the tail gunner of the middle speedboat.

Detonate explosives. Shoot the tail gunner as a precaution.

Then go prone and sneak to the building in the corner of the camp. The soldiers are very busy defending themselves and may overlook you. After some seconds the officers will emerge from the building (or so it seemed to me). Get close to them ... and be taken to the final cutscene.

Quick and clean!

Regards,

Thomm

P.S.: Red Hammer seems to require better hardware than the original game! My Celeron466 nearly choked on that mission!
