Mission 12: Up on the roof
In this mission the `under the shot trick' works excellent.
Freeing the prisoner
Get your sniper out of his hiding place. A large number of guards will take him
under shot. In the meanwhile, distract the patrol on the yard with your spy so
they are facing eastwards. When the guard who patrols near your beret (he is
hiding in the green encircled building) walks east wards (he is red encircled
on this map, knife him and hide his body around the
corner.
Now take a look at this map. All the guards that hold
your sniper under shot are red encircled. First, you have to take care about
the blue encircled guard, who still walks around. The white and green encircled
guard might see him, so select the scan view of the white encircled guard and
wait until the green guard moves westwards. Move the body to point X. The green guard will eventually see this body, so
you can inject him too.
The two red encircled guards who are closest to the blue encircled guard (they
are white ensquared) can be injected if you take care of the scan view of the
white encircled guard (once the bodies are on the ground, they
won't get noticed). Depending on the position of the green guard, you can perhaps first kill a red encircled guard, then back to the body of the blue encircled guard so you can inject the green encircled guard.
Now climb the ladder with your beret and crawl to point Y. Now run to the orange encircled guard with your spy
and distract him, so he sees your beret. When he says `Halt', crouch and hide
in the building. Since he doesn't see you, he will run to you. so he will be
an easy prey for your spy.
The yellow encircled guard can't see your sniper, but he is looking in this
direction anyway. However, a guard who walks south of him (this guard is not
on this map), may see his body; just make sure he doesn't see you injecting
the yellow guard. Now inject the remaining red, pink and white encircled
guards (you'll know in which order by now; the pink and white encircled might
see each other, so use their scan view) , but make sure the patrol in the yard,
don't see the moment of injecting!
When these to guards are done, run with your sniper to ground level and
run with your spy to the patrol (this takes a few climbs of ladders) and
distract them so your sniper can free the prisoner. Run with your sniper
and the prisoner (his short cut key is '8') to a save place on top of the
roof. In the mean time, move the bodies of the guards on the east part of the
roof to a good hiding place; their stack is yellow encircled on
this map. When they are close to your sniper, let your
spy run to the sniper (note, if you start to run with your spy too soon, the
patrol may see your beret or the prisoner).
Finding the exit
Have a look at this map. If your beret has finished the
movement of the bodies, let him crawl to the point he is laying now and watch
the blue encircled guard (he is south of the red encircled guards) If you
stand up now, one of the red encircled guards will say `Halt' and the blue
encircled guard will come to take a look. When these four guards are standing
crawl with your beret, so they will move closer; somewhere west, there is a
guard who that views this area once in a while. By letting the four guards
move a little closer, the building will provide visual cover. Now if they
stand still again, inject them with your spy.
Now run with your spy westwards and distract the green encircled guard on
this map so he is facing westwards. Knife the red
encircled guard with your beret, move his body at point
X and run back to the place where the guard was.
Now stop distracting the green encircled guard, so he and the yellow encircled
guard will take your beret under shot; inject them. Deal with the white and
blue encircled guards later.
Have a look at this map. Select the scan view of the
red encircled guard so you can inject the green encircled guard (he is already
dead on this map) when he doesn't look; once the body is on the ground, he
won't complain (make sure the body drops in his long range view). Now stand
behind the blue encircled guard and mind about the patrol here. They don't seem
to react on `Ein Verletzte', but they do mind if they see you injecting a
guard. When the yellow encircled guard is close enough, and the red encircled
guard is not looking, quickly inject the blue encircled guard. Now the red and
yellow encircled guard will come to investigate the body; inject them before
they raise the alarm. If you are luck, the white encircled guard will also
come, and I even have had one occasion when the black encircled guard also
came.
Now have a look at this map. You have seen the white,
the pink and blue encircled guards on other maps before. First inject the blue
encircled guard, minding his scan view. Then inject the pink encircled guard,
but mind the the scan view of the black encircled guard on
this map), watch out for the guard that is walking in
the west part and the patrol. Also, if you `touch' him with your spy, he might
see a body, so be careful! When he is down, you can inject the white encircled
guard, followed by the red encircled guard (also watch the patrol!). In the
meantime, bring the rest of your men closer by.
Look at this map. Move your beret to the point he is
standing now (he is green encircled), so the red encircled guard takes you
under shot; mind the patrol! if it is too near by, let your beret crouch, so
you can delay the moment of `under shot' until they are gone. Now crawl away
with your beret. This will cause the red encircled guard to climb the stairs
and run past your spy; quickly inject him. If you do it on the right moment,
the blue encircled guard will hear the red encircled guard say `Ein
Verletzte', so you can inject him too. For example, if you crawl away when the
blue encircled at the spot where he is now, it should work.
Now run with your spy to the patrol and distract them so the face southwards
(take a look at this map. Now snipe the red encircled
guard, crawl down the stairs (there is still one guard left who might see you)
and run to the escape vehicle with all your sniper and prisoner. Hide the body
except of the guard you just sniped at point X and
run to the escape vehicle too. When the they have arrived, also run with your
spy to the escape vehicle.
