Vortimous

Thanks Hoppah I will try this strategy next...

I just cant get by this mission. It doesnt seem to matter how many water tenders I have with firemen attached, the fire just spreads everywhere because it takes so long to put out. And since you cant get close to the wreck with the trucks, it ignites most trees when it explodes... Can anyone please explain how they did this one... its really starting to aggravate me now...

Stan, I still cant seem to get past this one. About how many water tenders did you use with hose connections? Since you cant get close to the railroad except a few spots in the woods and there are vertually no hydrants, how are you suppose to stop this from spreading so fast??? Can anyone help and let me know how they did this mission??? Thanks

Um, WHAT????

thanks Stan...

I have a question about the mission 14 or 15 where the kids are on the track and the train wrecks in the woods. Is it possible to stop the train frim exploding at all??? And how did yall go about handleing this mission. So far everything I try fails.... (although I have only tried twice so far). Just wanted to know if there was a way to prevent it from fire or not...

You've got to be willing to experiment, even take a risk or two.... If you need this much help so far, you will be helpless near the end..... ~CC~ I dont mind being creative and I always play the missions several times before I ask for help.... but this game has so much that isnt told that it is hard to guess things you should have done. An example is the mission of the bungy jumpers.... I beat that mission with out even knowing you could send an engineer all the way down the tracks and stop the train... I just let the woman get hit the first time, then send a fireman to get her (surprisingly the train doesnt kill her). It wasnt until I read somewhere that you could stop the train... The game is full of stuff like this, stuff that is hard to see and you would never know to do that unless you stumpled across it by luck or was told.... Im not going to spend 10 minutes of a mission where I should be saving people looking for a switch that only lights up with an icon in the middle of the woods.... A walkthrough would help in these situations... Another example was the bus accident... It says you need to stop traffic... My first couple of times I tried to use the roadblocks to stop traffic... I mean what better way to stop traffic than with a roadblock.... needless to say, it never worked... I had no clue you had to send an engineer to turn a roadsign to say stop.... untill mentioned here....

I vote yes, (Im actually waiting for the walkthrough that looks like will happen on this site soon). Back to the mission.... I still havent seen a cut scene for this mission yet, when I load it, it just loads the mission and that is it..... Okay, I need help on this one... I have cop cars everywhere and the sniper in the van stop killing people after the third shot (I guess I got the whole map covered because he didnt come back) Now I got the guys at the bank demanding removal of units from the bank and a car... so what do I do... Do I have to make all my units leave the map or how far away can they be?? And what car can serve as the getaway car for them??? I was just planing to use snipers and kill them when the come out to the car, but I lose the mission before that happens... so what should I do??? Thanks for help (Cant wait for a walkthrough)

Yeah, I got past this one now... thanks for the help. My next question is the next mission, the one that starts with the sniper, was there no cut scene movie for this mission??? I didnt see one, it just started loading the next mission... every mission has had a cutscene, but this one didnt.... or did I miss it???

Okay, what is the best way to go about beating this mission. I always have too many casualties and lose. I evacuate everyone out before the train comes, I have firetrucks waiting to put the fire out when it crashes into the station. But I cant seem to get enough doctors around to heal everyone before they die... can someone let me know what they did to win this one??? Thanks again...

Thanks Hoppah, I just answered a bunch of my questions from your web site... I guess it does pay to read.... lol PS Does anyone have a walkthrough (in english) for the original missions of EM3. I get stuck sometimes because I didnt even realize what I could have done to help out. For example.... The train mission 5. I didnt even realize you could send an engineer to stop the train. I just let the girl get hit (I know sick), but it doesnt kill her. Then I picked her up, brought her to the road and got her to the hospital alive. I guess stoping the train would have been better, but its hard to see small details like that on these maps....

I thought I saw somewhere on this forum a list of all the missions in the LA mod. Can someone list them here or point me to the link that had that post... I cant seem to find it....
