i am what i am assuming at the end of the game...where you have to beat the...count them 3 of the super soldiers...i have thrown everything i can at one of them before the second one comes out and can't seemingly kill the bastard...hit him with 5 rockets and countless rounds from the tesla gun and sniper rifle...i have noticed that with direct shots with the sniper rifle armour falls off but after 20 rounds into the chest he still is coming after me....

just some hints would be nice

thanks

The ones at the end were a cinch compared to the first one in the lab. THAT was tough. For the ones in dig site, just run & gun, taking pot shots from behind the pillars before ducking for cover or running to reload.

Wait until you see the end boss setup! You think you have it bad now? Heheheheheheh.....

Use the entire area. Hide behind obstacles for protection and use your big guns against these guys. They don't like explosives. Rockets, hand grenades, dynamite, etc. If you get a lucky hiding spot you can tear into them with the Venom gun but unless your protected that gun leaves you vulnerable for too long. There should be plenty of supplies around that area. Browse around the crates around the perimeter to look for ammo and health.

You'll only get two of them. Two stay behind to buy time for the third to get away.

--edit---
some of thise stuff i guess is supposed to be a suprise so don't read unless you beat it--
--edit--

Okay is it only me or was RTCW VERY VERY easy.

Okay the first bad guy... that big ass chick who mutated or whatever... she didn't even hurt me, I didn't get how she was stupposed to attack you. She just jumped around and whatever.

The shocking guys who run around were f/cking annoying..

When you play the real supersoldier guy and the bad guy is talking on the mic, he was hard but still the AI is so f/cking retarded he was easy. Once I found all those health packs near the back I beat it.

The last last guy(last level) was a joke. I took no damage... stand behind boxes jump out rifle rifle till he shoots, then jump behind boxes <repeat>

Oh yea and then there was the ghost type end guy outside with the ax. First try on that I run out there and shoot rox at him and does nothing and some ghost things f/ck me up - the ones that make yer screen black. 2nd time I run out and rox everyone else and leave the ax guy... then he's a joke cause he can't hurt you.

I played hte game on the hardest level too.

The hardest level was the level with all the chicks... omg i was going nuts. The level before I had ended it with low health so I had to fight them with 30 life startiong out. Drove me nuts did it like 50 times i swear.


BTW about the question asked.... the tesla gun seems to suck. I'd stick to rox.. jump out rocket him, jump behind something while you reload and do that till their gone. I liked using rifle alot... hit their head cause it does more damage or whatever. the superminigun too. The way you beat them tho is by hiding behind stuff... and taking advantage of their retarded AI.

--edit--
whoever said to use gernades and stuff vs whoever... that doesnt' work. on hard they run away from it.

The 2nd encounter with the Super Soldiers isn't that tough.

Arm the Panzerfaust and shoot and duck @ the 1st one. Arm the Venom and do the same until both are taken out. Short bursts on the Venom are important b/c sustained firing is inaccurate and only effective at point blank; problem is they have a clear shot at you, also.

Another tactic was to use the crates as cover. Use all your Panzerfaust and then arm the Paratroop rifle. Head to the crates. Now notice that they're in a higher elevation. Use that to your advantage (?) Of course. As you'll find out, in long range the first one will use Panzerfaust then Venom. Its shots won't even hit you, not even the second one with its Tesla, Panzerfaust, or Venom. Just aim the crosshair slightly above the crates when they're in site using the crates as cover.

When they come close, head around the corner. They won't shoot unless they have a direct shot at you. Up close, again use the crates; they're huge targets. You can get a few shots in with the Paratroop rifle until they round the corner to get a clean shot at you.

Like someone said earlier, the very 1st encounter with the Uber Soldat was a pain. I found out later that it wasn't much of hassle as soon as I discovered the booth right under Deathhead's Observation booth.

I didn't think the last boss was too bad. It was certainly an exercise in circle-strafing though. I unloaded on him with the venom and then all my rockets. Finished him off with the venom. Alternativly, there's a load of bricks you can lure him under then shoot the cable holding htem, but I couldn't seem to get him over there. And not to mention there were ghosts that kept tearing me up whenever I'd go over there. Brute force works the best for that last boss.

Other than just continually nailing them with the Panzer, if you have a few grenades, do this. Find a tree or pillar and hide behind it (I think there's one right next to the ammo supply), making sure that one of them is coming towards you. Then just circle strafe around the tree, making sure to keep the tree between you and the SS. Arm the grades and hold onto them for a 3 or 4 count and then let them go near him, making sure you toss them far enough to the side to clear the tree and far enough not to hurt yourself. It takes a couple of grenades, but you it's a very effective way of killing them if you don't have any other powerful weapons.
