Mission 11 - Advanced

[shym]

Hey guys,

i am currently trying to beat Mission 11, but i'm stuck at the very beginning... the first group of towers is laying havok to my squad. I tried dual crawler to bring down the tower fast, but then this one-way towerthingi gets me and i cant use power up 'cause that'd bring the just destroyed towers back to life...

Any help?


Regards.

if by "one-way towerthingi" you are refering to the Scorcher, 2 Crawlers would definetly suffice.
Ye, Scorcher.

(that you by the way get told in the beginning of that very level)
I know, as i said, i am in the very beginning. :)

But ill try to plant the power ups behind a building.

Thanks for your help.

edit: Okay just tried aaaaand: There aren't any buldings to stay behind at the first Energizer. My 2 Crawlers wipe out the 4 Sentry towers and the get pwnd by that Scorcher. Kinda frustrating :(

Use 3 APCs and try to use as little abilities as possible.

I used APC spam for the start, low risk engagement for the middle, and a blitz to the finish after the bridge for the end.

Tried this many, many times (plus other suggestions from this and your Forums)and still no success. Have re-played the Mission so many times now (on Casual) and still can't get more than half-way.
Yeah I know I must be pretty poor at this, but up until this mission I've found it a great, often challenging game. Mission 11however is a game-breaker for me...just can't move on.:confused:

I tried the 3xAPC and I can get through the first piece of the map, I always have to deploy one gas cloud around the scorcher, which of course lets the re-charge guy tag me and fill up since the whole damn game pauses while the guy speaks (crappy bug BTW, I dropped a heal charge once right before the game randomly paused for a speech cutscene, and the heal burned away while no one moved through it). This revives the 3 towers i had dropped, so i drop a heal on my guys and run away, they happen to target the re-charger and kill it. I still lose an APC though.

Its the rest of the map that kills me. The re-chargers fill up so fast I dont have time to drop anything and hide.

casual is no help.... bleh

You need to deploy abilities behind obstacles so Energizers can't suck them off of the power. This is the most tactical mission in fact.

well, im an idiot. For whatever reason, I thought the re-charger was draining ME, not the drops themselves. Once I figured that out I got through it on casual fairly easily, didn't fight too much, the only guys I killed in the first area was the first re-charger on the south, ran through the next two with a couple decoys, made it to the bridge, and wiped half the other side out. Started with 3xAPC, switched over to Crawler-Shield then added another Crawler and upgraded when I could.

thanks for the tips devs :)

Yeah finally got through as well using the 3xAPC setup, twice upgraded. Ended mission with 2xAPC's remaining. A Strategy Guide would be of help with the game, with tips and pointers.
