This mission is an auxiliary mission in the main campaign. It's called Saboteur but so are a few missions. Basically you start at the end of a valley and have to blow up 2 T72's and 1 BMP2. The base has only 1 entrance and is surrounded by wire fences (2 layers) so you can easily be seen from any angle. There are 8 towers, only 2 or 3 maned by carrot eating sharp shooters. 3 men on the gate and 4 patrolling inside the base. Plus a few more men outside the base patrolling the grounds. Has anyone completed this covertly. I've completed it but only by killing 35 men (the alarm got set off) and then sneaking up on the T72's with bombs and finally taking out the BMP2 with a "borrowed" RPG. That 2 took bloody hours! Never mind the loading times. It's one tough mission.

Firstly Kronzky thanks for this most excellent mission. I'm having real fun as the game progresses, collecting all sorts of goodies. I've noticed as mentioned earlier that Strykers (M2 & M19) don't rearm properly which is a shame but to compensate i've also noticed that my captured T72's will rearm to full strength from my ammo truck as long as i don't get out of it. As soon as i pop out for a quick sniping session the ammo goes back down to 2 and 200. Thank once again for this, more fun than the main single player campaign IMHO.

I looked yesterday and the update was there and is still there now. The site was a bit slow compared to these forums to update and the update is slightly buried.

And where does this info come from? I saw it on http://www.armedassault.eu/ but how do they know? I would guess that the patch will come out tomorrow, if it's ready that is. Last minute issues could always cause a delay. Tomorrow, that would be good. I've been waiting patiently since 1.05. Although, with the world all trying to d/l the patches at once, you can add a day.

To get the secret documents I merely ran around the camp, in particular the tent in the middle. You don't "find" the documents as such, you just get the mission completed part once you've been there. Check your mission screen to see if it's marked as completed. I doubt you've even got to kill all the guards, just get to the middle of the camp.

I'm sure some of my men have limps. Some just can't keep up. If i wasn't so soft (and didn't want to give my position away) i'd shoot them. Sometimes they don't keep up when your driving humvees etc. So not only do they have limps they can't drive either! Ho hum.

I remember this one. Most people took the easy route and went left up to the top camp where the documents are. Shoot all the men and you'll get the documents as long as you've gone to the HQ in the camp. Then steel the nice big helicopter and shoot everything. Land it at your extraction point. It is possible to do the other version. There's been a previous post on this mission, i think it was called something else like AT Saboteur.

I thought i'd done this one first time. I'd blown up various vehicles with the bombs and rockets. Shot nearly all the men only to find when i tried to stand up my legs wouldn't work and i'd run out of ammo. Trying to crawl away from a pissed off armed man is tricky. After many loads i managed to crawl to the van/truck and run the man over then drive away into the sunset. Fun, fun fun.

from memory.. type: SHIFT - then type "endmission" wait a few seconds and the mission should end completed. I only used it on this mission.

Wouldn't end for me either. Had to use endmission cheat to progress.

That also includes using cracks instead of putting the CD in. May require a reinstall if you've used a crack. Or you're a very bad shot

Mission 9: Commander. I've killed everyone at the last part, bmp tanks the lot. But it won't end. I've only got 3 men left, my A1M1 and APC have bitten the wrong end of a rpg. I've killed everyone and run around the desert looking for strays. Is there anyway to conclude the mission without redoing it? Anyone else had this problem? b.

There's still a few days to go. Be patient.

All i can suggest is to start the mission again. I've done this one a few times. Never had that error however. The main problem seemed to be that my men wouldn't follow me to meet the M113 etc. That was back in version 1.04.

I've had this type of error in various missions. There's one way round it if you've think you've definitely killed every living soul and completed all objectives. (ie not cheating) PRESS "shift -" (Numpad minus) THEN TYPE "endmission" (no cursor appears, just type it) This should end the mission for you allowing you to complete and see all the lovely people you've killed (my fav bit)

A hole you say. Where abouts? A nice pair of wire cutters would have been handy on this mission and given it a bit more realism.

Cool, looks like you've got a Lego mod for the game

Had to use that myself as I'd killed every blade of grass, trees etc and no mission end.

Yep, that's the lot. However there will/are some good user made campaigns around. I've heard Perpetua is good if not better than Arma's campaign. Try here: Perpetua

I always have my desktop in classic mode. Thanks for the tip anyhow.

Here, here. Perhaps once they've got the engine etc sorted that will happen.

I to have been playing STALKER, waiting for update 1.06 or decent drivers for my 8800gtx. Stalker is a game, Arma is a simulation (with some gamey bits).

Got to put the OFP one first. Better plot and it just seemed longer. Still enjoyed the Arma one but not as good as OFP.

Atari version... hum.., is that the impending US version. If so have you got a single player mission using an A10 Warthog?
