ADHD much?

Seriously though, try to use some punctuation. And what exactly is your question?

[napps420 10]

sorry bout that it was a long night i did all of DOW in one sitting.

i have no idea what people are yappin about, i never got a mission with an island nor did i get any info about lopateve. i got something totally different. from wat i've read here, this makes no sense

the game just ended on me after i took over the towns. i was playng as cdf i took the towns. i sent my troops to the Russian base. never found the ChKn base,

i was asked to meet some napa agent, so I followed the waypoint and that was the end just like that. I've been cheated no ride home no radio from USMC HQ. no island, no final mission i go meet the guy and a nuclear explosion goes off in the back ground and thats the end of the game

napps you probably failed your mission which usually leads to death.

[jeffroland 10]

There are multiple endings to the game, I think. Looks like you found one of the rare ones. Were you playing as ally to NAPA or CDF? Either way, the island/Lopotev mission is triggered when you are tasked to get a prisoner. The prisoner task is triggered when you capture a specific town, I think. I can't remember the town name. It's quite possible you never captured that town.

Any idea what triggered the task to meet the napa agent?

Yeah, entirely different ending to what I saw. Basically, with the combination of the HDR darkness bug once it got dark, having no NV goggles and my team starting to ignore orders, I didn't really stand a chance :eek:

Because of bugs I missed some objectives in earlier missions, from what I read elsewhere, some of those affect the amount of help you get on DOW...we got none at all, even after Chernogorsk.

Also what didn't help was the fact that I was going to kill Prizrak after I'd taken the final town in Badlands (it was nearby) but once you take that town the mission ends and the game assumed I'd failed the Prizrak objective. So this made things harder I believe.

If you're interested, here's the ending I got. Things went wrong for the mission when I got near the Russian airbase, my two backup T-72's for some reason ignored my commands to stay back, rolled into the base and putted down the runway and got blown to bits:

Next thing, audio from HQ says something about the main CDF base being blown up, Chedakis are all over the place, mission over.

Then there's another short mission starting the next morning, it starts in the woods somewhere with the rain falling and my team telling me I screwed it all up. Objective is to get to a checkpoint about 800m away to the east for extraction. When we get to the checkpoint we're ambushed (by Chedakis I presume?), reminiscent of the scene at the start of the game where you're defending the church and get killed.

There's a brief shootout, we all die and the credits roll :(

I'll try it again at some point but not yet :)

no i didn't fail the mission. i met with napa leader

when i met with napa leader he started telling me about russians joining with chkn and betraying their own gov.and an atomic explosion went off in the background. screen i fell over like i had been killed in the blast.scren went black and the game told me that rusians were forced from charenus and zagorski military distric approved the use of nuclear weapons to eradicate americans from charenus razor team decleared MIA their fate was never relealed the end

. i captured all towns in the region. every single one. except for the ones in black. from there i ordered ALL troops to go to russian base. i was playing the CDF side of the mission. i stayed at the cdf base almost the entire time making troops and sending them out to capture towns. i was pretty succssful with out having to move anywhere.

i didn't really get many bugs in the game it ran smoothly

Oh you attacked the Russians??? That's what triggered this "meeting with NAPA" and subsequently the nuclear explosion. Yea, you're not supposed to attack the Russians.

Anyway, once you capture one of the towns (I forget which), you would have received a mission to go pick up a prisoner. I guess you either missed this order or you never captured the town which triggers the mission.

And, by the way, yes you failed the mission. Unless your orders or intent was to start a nuclear holocaust.

You're supposed to prove to them the Chdkz war crimes, thats what the evidence is for. If you attack them they respond with nukes as they think the US will now launch attacks on Russian territory.

The other endings are,

1. You fail completely alongside CDF and then try evac but you get caught by Lopatev and Russians who you try to fight but get killed.

2. You fail with Napa and escape with some napa fighters on a boat

3. You win and get Napa and CDF allied by removing 'extremists' and prove to the Russians the war crimes, then you get a heroes welcome at Khe Sahn.

4. You win with CDF but don't ally with NAPA who get hunted by CDF and the 'extremests' are never found but still wanted. You get thanked by CDF command but the victory seems bitter sweet.

Sure theres other combinations of occurences that 'shift' into these endings aswell.

Attacking the Russians isn't the trigger or not the only trigger. I thought I was doing quite on DoW. Despite occasional AI idiocy and their impressive skills at making a T72 roll over on a billiard table flat landscape I was able to trundle around the landscape taking towns from the Chedaki. I decided to get that side of things tidied up so I could bring full force on the Chedaki base so I:

Went to the coast and captured Chernogorsk.

This gave me some USMC reinforcements and the 'Check location' task that (I assume) is the island mission. However I thought it was a shame to not use those Marines that I, a mere sergeant, had for some reason been given command of. So I went off north to try to find the Chedaki base and then call in the cavalry. On the way I took a tour through the Russian occupied airfield but I didn't attack them and they didn't attack me, although they behaved in a convincingly nervous fashion. Nice array of hardware BTW.

Soon after I left there the tasks updated. The Chedaki base was now destroyed and there was a new task, to destroy the Russian base. And then a few seconds later Swordsman was on the radio congratulating me, the Russians had apparently legged it after realising they'd been suckered into the fight. And there the mission ended.

Next mission was the one where you rendezvous with a tactical nuke with unfortunate results. LOL.

yep, I'm quite sure it's because you either attacked Russians or just possibly wandering into their controlled territory that set off the nukes. It sounds like the trigger was maybe a conditional statement in the trigger for the capture of the Chedaki base. In other words, when anyone captures the Chedaki base the trigger will check if any CDF or Razor Ream has entered russian controlled territory or engaged russians. If so = nuclear holocaust, if no = grand celebration on board the Khe Sahn.

But, to be honest this is all just speculation based on what you've said. I haven't done any research into this by opening the campaign in the editor.
