Capture Hammerfest base - mission

Recommended Posts

I'm playing the GDI mission were you shall retake the Hammerfest base. I play at the highest difficulty setting. You know, after destroying that Obelisk (after you've destroyed the powerplants powering it), there's a Nod Artillery blocking the way and it's impossible to take it out with just three Hover MRLSs. So, any ideas?

I figured it out! The artillery "spawns/is being unveiled" when you capture the radar station, so you can place the MRLSs nearby where the artillery is positioned and then capture the radar. You can now take out the artillery without loosing any of your precious units.

Or you could just play the mission the hard way as your'e supposed to :)

It ain't that hard to be honest.

I'm not "supposed" to capture the radar, and indeed it isnt that hard. It is useless, however :P

I just force-fire at the cliffs right next to where I start until something in their base fires back at me.

 

Then I shoot at their base until they start selling stuff. That pesky Obelisk on the way to your base is one of the first to go :P

(I think they're programmed not to harvest until you reach your base, lol)

Nice, Haven't thought of that before.

I guess I always take the hard way, which the game intends me to. But really, there's a lot of maps that can easily be dealt with be doing the opposite of what your'e supposed to, or just go around the other way. Most of those glitches and paths are discovered after completing the game however.

I always hated this. Seriously, if I haven't watched the walkthrough video for this level I could have stuck forever. What's the logic behind this anyway? How can a captured Radar spawn an Artillery?

 

On a side note, the GDI missions are a lot less fun, than the NOD mission in TS. Finding out every single cloaked unit and SAM site in all levels is simply not fun.

It doens't spawn it. The capturing alerts it to your presence.

Revealing the shroud around the artillery alerts it to your presence. That can be done by capturing the GDI Radar.
