Finally got thru that damn "Tank Level" in RCTW...here's how *Warning - spoiler!*

[MichaelD]

I know I"m the only one here who hasn't finished this game yet...but bite me anyway...let me have my fun.

I'm just going to word this using my own words; hopefully most of you understand what I'm trying to say!

After trying this level over and over and over, I've discovered the secret! :Q

Apparently, the game engine doesn't like it when you complete the level ANY OTHER WAY besides one predetermined course of action. I'm not talking about the objectives...you have to complete those (no duh...) I'm talking about HOW you go about it.

My style of playing this type of game is "ambush and eliminate." I like to prowl the entire map first and kill everything before I start exploring for health/weapons/secrets...I don't like surprises, like guys that come running up behind you after the tank blows the hole in the wall.

In order for the tank to do that, and for you to advance in the game, you have to get back to the tank BEFORE it starts rolling again.

After you save the scientist you hear the tank commander say "I'm encountering heavy resistance" or words to that effect. You run back to the tank, as it rolls down the street, you eliminate the three or four guys, including the guy manning the mounted gun FIRST.

Then the tank commander says, "you may now enter" and blows a hole in the doors....wow..I'm impressed. AFter that happens three or four baddies come running up behind you...take 'em out w/the sniper rifle from the front of the tank, using it as cover.

Heh, I went thru the door and got a faceful of flame. Didn't see that guy there! Boo-hissssssssssssssssssssss.

So, I finally did it. I can't wait to find the next bug in this $50 POS that I really do enjoy but the bugs are killing for me. Bye for now.

*TUNE IN NEXT WEEK, BOYS AND GIRLS FOR ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE OF:

"Let's watch Mike beat his face against the monitor trying to figure out the next level of RTCW!!!!

MichaelD, do not go here until your nose is flattened and bleeding and your monitor's screen is in danger of cracking.

Rember, only in emergency

Bwuahaha! I'll have you know, you made me spit soda on my screen...just a little, but that's not the point! *middle finger is up* That was funny....what you said, not the soda.

Thanks for the linky. I don't consult walkthru's until I'm absolutely stumped. After I beat the game, I go and do the cheat-code thing just to screw around. I finally got thru that level...the level was relatively easy, the game engine is what gave me a hard time.

Gee, does it seem like Gray Matter rushed this title to market w/o fully testing it first? <---me thinks so!

Mike, your face is one thing, I just couldn't stand the thought of computer hardware possibly being broken, hence the link to the walkthru.
