The insane difficulty of this level is making me want to uninstall the game. I have killed the first couple snipers on the level, but I am at a spot where I cannot move from cover without taking three hits in a row from what I think is two snipers. They are completely hidden, they shoot at me and shoot at me and I never see a muzzle flash and the sound doesn't help me locate them either.

I want to use cheat codes, but I patched to 1.1 and I think they're disabled. Can someone help me? Maybe someone could email me a savegame from right after this level?

Hey buddy, I tried that level atleast 3 times before I passed it, here's a few tips which I think should help you

1: walk, don't run, look around, don't just rush
2: most of the snipers are infront of you, or at the top of the roof, and YES in buildings, you won't miss them once you're facing that direction
3:Heard of QUICKSAVE? if you're still trying to get accustomed with the style of playing, SAVE after you killed an enemy sniper, this will buy you time of locating the sniper, get KILLED? no problem, QUICKLOAD and find that killer. Quicksave is F5 and QUickload is F9
4 http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gifon't blame the game for being too hard etc etc, blame yourself first for not THINKING!!
5:Kick yourself in the NUTS if you still can't pass it, it might give you some MORALE boost http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

Isn't that tight!? I love not knowing where I'm being shot from. It makes you actually think.

Also, where you're stuck is where a majority of other people get stuck. Look on the rooflines. There's one guy there that took me an hour to get by. Kill him, then you're good... For a while at least...

If "con" is the opposite of "pro," then what is the opposite of progress?

I agree this level differs a lot from the previous levels in the sense that you can't just rush in and spray bullets.
Sometimes you don't even know where you get shot at, well my trick is quicksave and quickload, but make sure you do that when you're in the safe spot, you don't want to load the game where you get sniped before you get the chance to move your mouse do you?

Can someone just email me their savegame directory?

Dude, you want to beat it yourself. It'll be rewarding...

hey wonderboy,
There's a bonus scene once you passed the level.

But I CANT DO IT HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

There is two guys I can't find for the life of me. I know for sure the general direction of one of them, but I can't see him to save my life.

Look at the red flashes on your compass. They tell you the direction you were hit from.

Don't tell me you're playing the game on the easy mode, I'll understand your frustration if it's played on the hardcore mode
here's another tip,
Stick your nose on the monitor, and sneeze.
wipe it off with a cloth or tissue paper,
slap yourself once or twice,
grab yourself refreshments, and start again

this mission can get frustrating, if you cant beat it and are contemplating suicide because you cant, CHEAT

Just pay attention to your surrondings, and save often!

Wonderboy,
Let us know if you completed the level,
we should celebrate it with a shot or two.
If you know what those mean...

I passed where I was stuck for a whole day. Couldn't see the sniper on the roof. I found that to get to a position where I could take him out, I had to make a mad dash up and to the right. So don't listen to everyone who says you must only move very slowly on this level. Now I've just seen the FockeWulfe 109 crash into the building - awesome!

Time to smoke a bowl and hey that was a good idea about the shots... puff puff gulp gulp, ahhhh back to my game... love it.

U're funny, that's what most of us do, move slowly and snipe the sniper, that's also what the in game character tells you, take YOUR time, well good for you that you passed the level by dashing straight toward the exit point, I won't be suprised if you cry for help again when you increase the level of difficulty.

If you had read my post properly, I only dashed once in sniper town. Also, I'm playing on hard difficulty. Wiseass.

I have a 21 inch monitor with resolution set 1600 by 1200 and it's still a bitch...Have to be continually saving and moving and watching the compass for impact direction. This can be somewhat frustrating when you have multiple hits from different directions. Have to hug the walls and crevices and slowly but surely work your way through town.

You don't have to cheat or use load/save tricks to get through sniper town. The level has 4 autosaves as it is. If you move at a sniper's pace, you won't get hit. I've seen it beaten without dying on the very first try, on hard (not by myself).

This type of "quick save" "quick load" gameplay is for the birds! I am very dissapointed in the direction the developers took this game! More "Qauke" than anything else, its a god damn shame, I wanted to like it...

Well if you don't like Quicksave, once you die or fail, just start the level over then. Not everyone can pass Snipertown on hard the first time they try. I suppose your one who think Project IGI is too easy on hard? http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Wonder-Boy, that's exactly how I found the snipers and progressed through the level. I ran like hell at the sound of the sniper's rifle until I could see where the fucker was. Then I got my scope on that general area and slowly worked my way around to get him! He still got a few good shots off at my health, but I finally got em' (both of em').

Old proverb say's, "The only thing that doesn't fail is persistence!"

Enjoy the rest of your game.

Just a strategy hint. I beat the level pretty easily. Once I realized what the level was all about, I just sacrificed the first couple of tries in the effort to locate them. Then you just get in the right spots to snipe them. After you get past it, you will realize it was not that bad. It was one of my favorite levels for sure.

To get the cheats back with the 1.1 patch. Press F5 then F9, right after. Then you can use your 1.0 cheats, again. Trade up to a faster Mauser scope... But, getting all the weapons may screw up the bazooka finding script, not sure if you could finish the level.
Enjoy!
