— Vergara's Mansion - Grounds —
Question:
When the mission starts, I try to walk to the front door and the alarm goes off!
Answer:
Well, aren't you supposed to find another way in? While you could go around with guns blazing, killing every guard you see, this is _supposed_ to be a STEALTH mission. Think of it as an extra challenge and try to get through the map without being seen.
Question:
I seem to die instantly when I get near a two-story building to the right side of the front door! Isn't this a bug?
Answer:
No. Behind the metal shades of the upper floor is a sniper's nest. The two snipers up there are pretty good shots, and can hit your head with ease if they see you. Find another way around instead.
Question:
Ok, I'll try the stealth challenge. Gimme some tips!
Answer:
The Quake 3 engine isn't exactly built for stealth like Eidos' Thief series was, but you can still get extra-low to the ground by crawling. Use this to your advantage, and crawl next to walls and hedges to avoid detection by cameras and guards. You'll progress very slowly, and you may have to save often. It's missions like this one that make me wish Raven Software had included guns like the MP5-SD (silenced MG), or the PSG-1 with subsonic ammunition (silenced sniper rifle), as seen in Delta Force: Land Warrior.
Question:
I've gotten to the garage. Now what?
Answer:
Find a way into the house. You may have to climb into the attic to do so (hint, hint).
