Any Tips for Escort Service on Veteran?


Recommended Posts

I looked at the other thread about the hardest missions but there wasn't much info in there about the level. I have spent the last three days trying to finish this level but I still can't do it. Compared to this I thought that the other two that were mentioned repeatedly were far easier.

 

The biggest issues I keep running into are I don't know where the best place to use the sentries is and how not to get shot from behind by enemies who spawn in ridiculous places. I can clear the first room no problem most of the time, then I'm fine with the guys who spawn across on the roof other than when the two on the balcony pull head glitch garbage, but after that I honestly can't figure out if I'm doing the level properly.

 

I normally drop the first sentry in the LZ area the first time I go through then hide behind the boxes and watch the stairs coming down. This is normally fine then when I go into the next room before where the captive is is where I really start to have problems. I clear out the first wave of guys fine, but then when you move into the room the start spawning in really screwy places. I normally go to the left around the wall and shoot the guys who spawn behind the boxes. Then people start spawning behind you and that's where I normally get screwed over at that part, as they'll turn the corner and be able to kill you before you can get a shot off. :mad: After that I've made it to the end only twice, but the first time I was shot by the guys who seem to be able to run backwards down the stairs while maintaining a 99$ accuracy, then the second time I was killed as soon as I walked through the door by the guy with the rpg. :facepalm:

 

If anyone has any tips or a direction they could point me in for an easier way to do this level I would be forever in your debt. This is the first game in a long time that has physically angered me because of how ridiculously cheap the AI is.

 

Sorry about the small wall of text. :o

 

Edit: So after doing it about 30 times, and spending the last two hours doing it I finally managed to do it. What I did was first time into the LZ area grab the turret then hide behind the boxes right by the stairs, and aim up them. Most of the enemies who spawn on the bottom will come around the front where you're aiming or hide behind cover. After clearing that room and the first wave in the next room I dropped a turret to clear out everyone in the room before you do the breach. After when you go back out to the LZ kill the rpg guy on the roof then drop the turret to the left of the center boxes. That should take care of almost every enemy. Hide behind the center boxes and watch for enemies coming down the stairs, and kill the few that will come after your turret is destroyed. I ended up with only one other person after the enemies stopped spawning down the stairs up on the roof. Hopefully this helps anyone else who might be looking for info on how to finish this broken level.

Just came across your post and I can definitely say that strategy helped me in your edit. I wasn't stuck on it for days luckily but about 2-3 hours I couldn't do the last part and then it just worked first time when I set up the turret on the left side of the tall boxes and just watch the stairs. About 4-6 enemies remain after the turret explodes, but I got most of them from the stairs it seems.
