As soon as they spot you it's pretty much curtains. The advice I've seen is to have two scouts rush in with dartguns and disable the farthest away bad guys, have the rest of your team get rid of the nearest enemies and you should be okay.

Oh, and approaching it from both doorways is apparently the only way of doing it.

Other than that, to disable the AI, you might want to go to www.nival.com and look on the Sentinels forums. A search there should reveal how to activate the console and disable the AI in the game, though it is a bit of a cheat

Thx Pete I will pretty much do anything to get past this sucker mission

I bet the lack of response is because everybody got to this mission, got fed up, tried to cheat, STILL couldn't do it, stopped playing the game, stopped posting to the forums, and now lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, under a bridge, jabbering about Panzerkleins and scaring the locals...

That's totally it!
I'm thinking about starting a thread about the different kinds of thinking you have to do in S3 in order to beat the missions. The rush tactic was never really used by me in the first game, but I've had to use it in an earlier mission in S3 already! This whole "throw caution to the winds" approach is very new.

I beat that earlier mission by sneaking into the room, right up to the enemies, then opening fire with grenades and SMGs until they were all dead. That took some reloading, yo. But you never really had to do that in the first game: slow and cautious would always win out. You were never forced into this "assault on a timetable" mentality that S3 puts on you...

Am I right here?


Yes Munky I think you are correct,I am a naturally patient stealthy type but that approach is not always the way to beat this sucker.

Im still a bit angry bout the UN mission but the missions after are superb but tough.

How do you guys deal with the PK's I use the LZ lazer thingy rifle but I wish I had more
of them.The black PK with the skeleton painted on it (Donnie Darko) is harder than
my dad,If I had four of those I could take over the entire world ......hahahahahhaaha

Some missions give you some time at the beginning which is time best spent setting
up mine fields

Laters dudes.................Jerry

Well done, I cheated rather than reload and replay the entire mission

The lack of response is, as you say, probably because not everyone was as patient as yourself on this mission

I did this mission recently, and almost without cheating.  What I did wrong, was a) not bring enough mine probes for my engineer to diffuse the bombs, and b) use the 3 I had to diffuse mines in the down stairs hallway.  From reading other posts, I probably could have shot some of the bomb planters to reduce the number of bombs.  Anyway, I cheated by giving my engineer 4 more mine probes and had him run around like a mad hen diffusing before the big pop. 

The mission was hard, but the insane part was a couple of enemies who were invisible unless I stood one step away form them.  Totally stupid level design for such an early mission, unless they expect you to play a mission that takes many hours, get near the end and then go 'oh, I should reload an ealier save, do a bunch of random encounters to get properly equiped, then restart this mission.'  The mission should have had a box of mine probes, and not let you start without an engineer (may already do so), instead of a box of dart guns.

Gregdude to be fair in the mission briefing u r advised to hire an engineer but the whole
UN mission thing made my madder than a tiger at the vets.

As I said ne1 who cheated here I dont blame as its insanely hard and the missions after
are like a holiday.

...

I'm so glad you guys are talking about this before I really get into this mission, so I know to reload and go do some serious random encounters and beef up my homies before I attempt this UN crap-ola.

What?! I HOPE you're not pished! *backs away slowly, holding out hands in non-threatening manner* Wha?

I love you, druid! You've gone from not being able to install the patch to having beaten both games in the space of about a month! Sweet!

Now, you need to tell us what difficulty you're now playing S3 on, okay? So I can get one % point better than that, beat the game, and feel much cooler than you...even though I'm not! *sobs in abject sorrow*

Also, thanks for not spoiling the missions afterwards by describing them. I appreciate being able to discover them on my own.

I always take it easy, buddy, work or no!

Yeah, I restarted last night on 2.30 difficulty. Enemy AP, VP, and damage is 100%, my damage is 100%, save in real-time, enemies hide "often", enemy level is +1, full healing after missions.

We'll see how well THIS works. I really don't want to get too frustrated and leave, but I want to be challenged as well! I'm on the 2nd test mission right now, the one where you have to rescue the other Sentinel, and the two dudes who show up midway through have me pinned down in the house...grrr! Set my people free!
