Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis - Mission #6 "Strange Meeting" [1/2]

[alpha19602]

Is the drop command a mod?

[sniperman9886]

after montignak must fall sometime i play after montignak or strange meeting

[Neatspejamasis]

Why I left alone after Montignac? My team and I retreat to a forest, but in next mission I left alone and my squad members bodies on the gruond. From almost all sides soviet troops and BMP's are coming.

[Blackthorne2010]

Jeez, I wish I had known from the start of this mission that you could just simply drive the truck to Ea64 rather than waste your time circling around Morton only to get ambushed at every corner and then be expected to walk 1000 m to the alternate extraction point.

[lebac]

Actually it was quite funny this way as well. As I managed to save most of my team (only 1 guy killed) at the final cut-scene when Russians are capturing Armstrong and yelling at him, rest of the squad killed them mid-sentence. To bad I didn't record this... so funny. Armstrong answering to empty air. :D

After that cut-scene when resistance guys arrive, only an officer and one solider were alive. I just picked up an AK near the tent and cleaned them up before resistance guys did.

[lebac]

They changed the best mission in the whole game!

In the original you were left all alone to try and make it to the extraction point. I don't remember ever feeling more immersed into any game then when I played that mission trying to get to evac point alive.

[Blackthorne2010]

@lebac No, this mission wasn't changed at all. The previous mission has two different outcomes: 1) Bravo Squad is eliminated before you can even assault Montignac and you must retreat immediately; 2) You capture Montignac but must retreat to a forest after your escape truck and Black Hawk both get blown up. In this case, the former of the two happened and brings you to this mission. Both missions are very tense and challenging to beat.

[lebac]

@Blackthorne2010 I guess I wasn't so savvy on my original play-through 10 years ago, to get this outcome. ;)

But I remember mission where I was all alone gave me the creeps on how realistic it felt - like I was really alone in the forest trying to get out to evac.

No game has ever done it for me since then.

[antred11]

You're pretty good at this. Amazes me that when you come under fire, you find the source so quickly. I usually don't have a clue from where I'm getting shot at. :)

[ColonelAli]

This shows how creepy war can be. Those radio coms from Papa Bear you received in the forest sent chills down my spine.

[gilh1986]

The only logical apprauch to this mission is to press on to Morton,abondon the truch a few clicks from it (preferebly north of the main road) and proceed on foot to the designated "evac" point.

[gilh1986]

The problem with this particular mission its logic.

Why send a platoon the checjk out some suspicious activity when the island is being evacuated anyway?

It is obvious that any suspicious activity detected is the Russians.

So when time is on the essence,I don't see the point of checking it.

Also,I ones ignored the instructions and pressed through to Morton.

Upon arrival,the place was swormed with Russians,with no friendly forces to be seen.

A set up? I think so.

[Daveybricks10]

Everon freedom alliance ?

But its FIA...

[skimask3]

Yeah good game I run a server once in awhile called SkiMask"s Server. only need update1.01.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@srry4beatinu

no you dont, just conect a resistance mod 1.96 to internet and see by yourself, 80% of them from southamerica because there we are TRUE gamers :P

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@srry4beatinu

no you dont, just conect a resistance mod 1.96 to internet and see by yourself, 80% of them from southamerica because there we are TRUE gamers :P

[srry4beatinu]

@xXxMartin96xXx thanks bro, you rock!

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@srry4beatinu

thank, but it...wasnt really hard, you just need the same version than the rest and go to multyplayer, now, i will rock if i pass the game on veteran, i am on "cadet" and i am stucked on the mission of gastrovski, the first one when you are a Spec Forces soldier......but if i pass the one wich you are with the rebelds killing soviets, i think i can pass this.....if the guy N-3 could do that faster

[srry4beatinu]

@xXxMartin96xXx trust me friend, you will come to hate ALL of the special ops missions. there is one that is nearly impossible to complete succesfuly.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@srry4beatinu

i trust you..the spec ops guys are so like the british SAS, but the SAS are a patrol of four mans....in the first mission are 3, and in different ways!, my problem is when i kill the rocket team, i kill the guys down me with the tank, a big tip, is do not use the C4, that tank got crew inside, and another one is patrolling there, just pick up a M21, some russian bazookas and over.......but that patrolling tank can shoot me from 1 km far away, so i cant make it

[srry4beatinu]

@xXxMartin96xXx i love/hate that mission. i used the same strategy. i finally killed all the tanks and escaped, but forgot to call 2&3 lol. the next ones get extremely hard.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@srry4beatinu

all i do is full the spaces with M21 magazines, i crawl with NVG on, shoot on the head 1 shoot per soldier the rocket team, slowly go down in the mountain, pick every bazooka (4 rockets) and when i shoot every menace, the lonely tank is lone there.........but i have to kill the other patroling tank, now the thing become hard, 3 take a lot of time to call, and the good thing if you need destroy the first tank is to call them so the explotion distract them, but that tank is f** hard

[srry4beatinu]

@xXxMartin96xXx yes, the tanks are just awful to deal with. one time, i was able to set up a trap with the claymores, and was able to take both of them out.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@srry4beatinu

how do you use claymores? i dont know where they are, and you must mean anti tank mines, i just will keep my idea, pick sniper, clear all, the guys of the lower earth waith until the patroling tank has gone, be careful of the spetsnaz patroll on the UAZ, and pick up a bazooka and shoot, i have to try that until i can destroy the 2 tanks

[srry4beatinu]

@xXxMartin96xXx yeah, i think your right. to set a anti tank mine you have to bring up the same menu you use to select your weapon. for me, its the mouse wheel.when you select the anittankmine if gives you some options, but be careful, they are misleading. if you decide to use them, youll see what i mean.

[Erandros]

The whole campaign of this game really kicks srs ass... I remember when I first heard the line "you're on your own" on this mission (or next?)... this is surely one game I won't forget...

[gexay]

I tried this so many times I assumed all my teammates were scripted to die quickly.

[raythesecond]

love it when the whole squad hits the dirt when there is "contact" :D

[Kallosar]

I remember I thought i was in a real war when i Did this mission. I was in fifth grade back then and I had to have my dad who was a soldier train me lol

[Gunfresh]

For some reason i dont got this mission.. strange..

[radicalhit]

My most hated mission. My teammates just ran along the road and got themselves killed, they could've at least died near me so i could salvage some ammo and a rocket launcher :| .

There was a very exciting bit though when a BMP stopped literally in front of me and failed to see me hidden in the bushes.

[jacupuh]

@radicalhit Haha that reminds me of when I was doing a mission as a sniper. It was just me and a T80, and I was out of ammo and there were no rocket launchers nearby. So I dropped my weapon and acted like a bush. And it worked.

[Fl4sh5150]

god,I hated this mission so much.....when I finally came to the tent I've only seen executed NATO soldiers

[crow13ivan]

good work :)

[Irony147]

thats a bad quality game but i love it

[RoundenBrown]

The scene with the dead bodies and the organ music, that was one of the most chilling moments I have ever seen in a computer game.

[tokorev747777]

man i bet. i hope to get this soon. i jsut hope it will work onn my pc. im sure it will. then i will see face-to-face what this realy looks like

[Jakihro]

I definately agree with you! And the worst part is that that's how war is... No epic 'run for your life'-scenes, no big battles where everything depends on you, nothing. Just a lot of corpses, and then your ticket out of the nightmare you're stuck in is gone (well, at least it would seem like that)...

[antred11]

@Jakihro That's true I suppose. Think of how many reloads it took him to finish this mission ... there are no reloads in real life. :-\ Wargaming == awesome; actually BEING in a war ... not so much.

[Belsey92]

i hated this mission wen i played it as a kid... jeez i was like 11 years old lol and i was pretty scared of leaving the forest cos of the choppers and stuff hahaa ahh the memories :')

[Shatonmedeek]

prk809 your a monkey your just trying to win the IGN giveaway you freakin monkey

[prek809]

[DupELcup]

Haha, IGn contest, I asked this guy also! on his 2/2 video. I'm pretty sure that it's NATO.

[snikkerssi]

The Everon Freedom Alliance

[Anex130]

@snikkerssi who do i get past previous mission when i start out all the others are dead and i am the only one in the woods

[dash1141]

When I played this mission, I was the only one alive when I arrived at the field.



I remember panicking when I saw the tanks rolling over the horizon.

Great game, great memories.

[DBJCobb]

Is this Xbox or PC version?

[snikkerssi]

PC version.

[DonGarcia189]

there never existed a xbox version i think -_- since its over 9 yrs old.

[4IN14094]

there is acturally a Xbox version called Operation Flashpoint: Elite, which is basicly a port of OFP:CWC and OFP:R to Xbox, so when Codie says OFP:DR is a "most realistic war sim with such scale ever on console" you could simply LOL at them
