  Registered Member #188 Joined: Tue May 11 2004Location: USA Posts: 43 | I figured I should start a thread on this subject because I have noticed all too often that teams cannot solve usually the same maps time and time again. Most of the time, the team perhaps did a sloppy job of checking all the rooms or scouring the entire land for any remaining bg's. Some of the time, it is the mapmaker's fault because he or she probably placed the real extract point a few meters behind the extract that appears on the map or perhaps accidentally assigned a tree or a desk as one of the "weapons" that need to be destroyed. For the latter case, I hope this thread will assist any player who is frustrated about completing a certain map, thus giving him or her a place of reference to find the solution to that map.

In addition to blowing up all the crates at Honey, also try to look for any surviving desks or tables in the buildings at Honey. Those also need to be destroyed because one of those tables is assigned as an "equipment". (27) | ||

 Registered Member #143 Joined: Mon Mar 29 2004Location: Georgia, USA Posts: 1700 | Alright, let's have someone take a look at GF.NEW DAWN. Playing it on Killzone's server, and it was stuck. Looked like 500 mtrs around wps, found 6 or so other bgs that did not come close to the wps, and killed them. Still no extract. Anyone know the deal with this map?? | ||

I have seen this map successfully end on every occasion when Black Widow was not destroyed. Destroying BW renders this map unfinishable. If you still feel frustrated, then try the following: not only make sure that you have completed every objective and killed every bg, but after reaching exfil and standing on the extract circle for about 30 seconds, go back to Objective Rock and stand in front of the bomb for about a minute because the bomb is never disarmed instantly for this map. However, this map is finishable as long as you do not destroy Black Widow. | ||

Remember to check the top of the pyramids and the 2nd floor of every building. About 4 or 5 bg's are standing on the balconies. The docs are found on a table at ground level. | ||

| Registered Member #188 Joined: Tue May 11 2004Location: USA Posts: 43 | Game: Task Force Dagger Map Name: KS_HIGHER GROUNDS Objectives: Destroy communication dish, Destroy enemy BRDM's, Eliminate all enemy resistance in the compound Description: I have never seen this map end. When I joined this map, all of the communication dishes, trucks, choppers, and towers were destroyed. I personally checked every room, and I do not think I could have missed anything on this map. I even destroyed all the armories and every building that is explodable. And I stood at exfil and the area around the exfil. I strongly believe this map is not completable and should be discarded by the HM crew. | ||

| Registered Member #188 Joined: Tue May 11 2004Location: USA Posts: 43 | Game: Land Warrior Map Name: HmS Rescue Description: Finding all the crates at Obj Honey is very cumbersome. Remember to climb up the ladders to the balconies and check the 3rd floors of every house for any crate. But one crate is hidden underneath the plane along with one bg nearby. Also, since this map is loaded with psg snipers, the hardest sniper to find is a yeti that is perched on top of the largest tower at the center of the map. So no matter where you may run, you will always get shot because the yeti has a 360 view of the surrounding area. | ||

| Registered Member #188 Joined: Tue May 11 2004Location: USA Posts: 43 | Game: Land Warrior Map Name: HmS Daylight Robbery Description: I have noticed players sometimes have problems completing this map because I once could not complete it also. This map is perfectly fine. At the first objective, remember to check the rooftops of the big square building and the rooftops of the two apartments. And at Objective Hurricane, remember to check all the small bunkers for any crates. The case is found in the glass encased concrete building in a trench near the barn at Objective King. Santa Clause in the audio message should give a "go" everytime a goal is achieved. So, if you didn't hear the old man say "it's clear" or "proceed to the next obj", then you missed something. And lastly, you should kill exactly 79 bg's in the whole map. Otherwise, start running again. ;) | ||

| Guest | Game: Land Warrior Map Name: LAND ON HIGH GROUND Description: Today is the first time we were able to complete this map. This map is usually crippled because the players naturally destroy everything in sight, not only the bg's, but also the crates, weapons, drums, power plants, dishes, buildings, etc. If you are reading this now to try to solve this map, then you are probably too late because your team has probably destroyed either a crate or the power plant. If you have, then you have no choice but to contact the host or a moderator to reset the server. But if you haven't yet played this map, then follow the audio messages very carefully. The old man does say "Do not destroy any of the equipment at the center". I honestly do not know what constitutes as equipment, so our team left everything untouched, including the weapons at Objective Raven and the powerplant and the dish at Objective Spirit. SO LEAVE EVERYTHING UNTOUCHED. Also, you will find one bg behind a door on the first floor in the big square building at Objective Raven, which players usually miss. And lastly, you should hear an audio message everytime an objective is finished. | ||
