Well, I did play sniper on all three attempts on Min's fortress, but during the last attempt after Min was dead, I was standing right next to the fortress entrance waiting for the last guy to saunter out of the gate so that I could end his misery and take my prize, so maybe how close one is to the fort is the case. However, I did take another fort in the North purely by playing sniper from quite a distance and it gave me the colorful ending animation once I got the last guy standing. Anyone's guess is as good as mine as to why it works for some and not for others.Originally Posted by clockner Go to original post
It's definitely not that because that is how I play it. I normally stand on the rock beside the entrance and throw mines then stones to attract the remaining few hostiles onto the mines.Originally Posted by tunnelcat Go to original post
all the forts can be taken without detection Pagans = the hardest to do that with .. you need to sneak in a side entrance and get to the top quick taking out the guys on the way with stealth throwing knives and a silent sniper rifle
then take out all the alarms with your sniper rifle .. use the motor and mines you drop on the way up to deter anyone from reaching you..if an alarm does sound .. have your trusty M79 ready to take out the heli's or the buzzsaw
all 4 forts in the game have a seperate entrance ..and vantage point to use your sniper rifle .. you just have to be sneaky and find it
and above all KEEP moving ..and stay low and out of sight
