[Mission 05] Mayday! Mayday! - Objective: Destroy artillery units (45/91)

Bear in mind that some of the terrorists will start running towards the explosion area. Ignore them. Go back to the main area of the park. You must be very careful. You’ll come across at least two new terrorists along the way (#1). Kill them quickly. There’s only one road leading to the castle. It’s located on your left (#2). You will have to go there now.

There are some additional units guarding the road to the castle. Thankfully, it’s VERY EASY to take them out. You will have to use the drone in order to scan the area ahead of you (#1). Once you’ve located a group of soldiers, position yourself by a cover and take them out from a distance (#2). You will have to repeat this combination a few more times.

There’s a small path leading to the castle. Be careful, though. You’ll come across a single terrorist here (#1). You’ve got to take him out quickly. Once again, you will have to use the drone in order to scan the left camp (#2). That’s where most of the terrorists are standing right now.

Before you focus your attention on the main camp area, you should take care of a small group of terrorists that should be located on your left. The second group is guarding a nearby entrance (#1). Once both of these teams are eliminated, turn right and move up a little bit closer. You will have to take down a soldier who’s standing by a heavy machine gun (#2). Once he’s gone, deal with the remaining terrorists. They will stop in a similiar place. Make sure you don’t expose yourself too much!

There’s only one more soldier for you to deal with. He should be standing by a wall, near one of the tents. You will have an opportunity to surprise him from the right flank (#1). As a result, he won’t even have a chance to fight back. You may proceed to the first artillery unit. There’s an entrance near your position (#2).

DON’T move any further. You will have to make a stop here. The entrance is going to be heavily guarded, mostly by a stationery heavy machine gun post. Getting rid of it will be extremely difficult. The best way to do this would be by leaning out (#1). Alternatively you could also use the grenades. Once the gunner is gone, start killing the rest of the enemy soldiers. It would be best to use the drone. Thanks to that, you’ll know exactly where they are standing (#2). Be careful, though. Some of the terrorists may actually try to leave the castle area.

MAKE SURE that all of your opponents have been killed. Enter the castle area. Turn right and make a few steps forward. Lie down on the ground in order to spot the enemy vehicle (#1). You should know what has to be done here. Order the Apache to destroy this target. Move back. You’ll have one problem less to worry about (#2). CHECKPOINT 5.

Get back to the previous area. You’ve probably noticed a long path on your right. It’s been previously defended by two terrorists (#1). You will have to go there now. Thankfully, there aren’t any new units in the vicinity. Be careful, though. The new area is heavily defended. First of all, you will have to take out a heavy machine gun (#2). It’s best to surprise it from the right flank. Just make sure you’re not spotted first.

Don’t go to the artillery unit just yet. You will have to take care of a few additional terrorists (#1). You should use the drone in order to know where are they standing. Nevertheless, use trees and trucks for cover. Once they’re gone, get closer to your objective and target it. Thanks to that, an Allied gunship will be able to destroy it (#2). CHECKPOINT 6.

comments and responses

	I've been in this level for months! I've killed everyone in the place, started over so many times, I get sick of the game, play a different game for a while, I finished Goast Recon 2, in one week, better game by far!, and then come back to try again. My problem is the apache will not blow up the guns!!! no matter what I do, or how I do it, or with what. If only I had help of the team I could give rocket launchers to them , or if it would let me have two!!! I'm ready to skip the level so if you have a patch or no where to get one, please help. I can walkthourgh the level in my sleep, but does no good if the apache will not kill the guns. I had this trouble before on a different level but had my men carry lauchers and that way made though the level.	Killer9417 18/03/2008 01:27
	i ve killed everybody!!!! can't pass or get in inside the castle gate or check point 5 . anybody got an idea ..how the casle opens	gabe1099 15/03/2008 02:00
	Great game, but much harder than GR2. The SCAR-H with combat sight and silencer seems to work well here, with extra ammo as it's not the same calibre as enemy weapons. Don't spray, use semi-auto to conserve ammo and improve accuracy. I added a grenade launcher but haven't needed it.	MadMacStew 18/10/2007 12:46
	http://www.ghostrecon.net/files2/index.php?act=category&id=26 FOR PATCHES how CAN YOU RUN OUT OF AMMO ??? THATS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WALK OVER THE ENEMYS GUNS , AND YOU WILL PICK UP THERE CLIPS. NOTE YOU CAN ONLY CARRY 10 CLIPS.	t2m9a 04/07/2007 20:57
	Well, I took the M8 (or something like that) named rifle with extra bullets. And i did NOT run out of ammo. On the contrary, i still have 11 rounds left and i just need to destroy the 2 artilleries. PLUS i also have a MP5sd with me that i haven't even used uptill now. I think this mission is all about choosing the correct weapons. Thought this might help. I ur playing this mission again then take M8, MP5 and extra ammo for m8. There's no chance that you'll run out of ammo then.	Nuclear Sam 04/04/2007 12:25
	anyone know where i can get a saved game past this point?	mackaveli420 27/03/2007 21:09
	Remember that you dont always have to kill all the enemies. Always walk in the darkness and never get into the light. If your using the M99/MP5SD combo that I have. Make sure that your on 3 round burst for the MP5SD. Its all you need to take out a enemy. I had to restart the whole mission because I didn't conserve all my ammo but I completed it with 20 rnds left. Right before the end of the mission you should have almost no sniper rounds left or none at all if you used them correctly. If you still have lots of sniper ammo left than rethink your strategy. And avoid as many enemies as possible. You can move at medium range in front of them if your not near any light and are kneeling.	GhostCell 24/03/2007 16:26
	omg i hate this mission.. i am alonbe ( no squad left ) and have only a few bullets in sniper and smg . anyone know how i can skip the rest of this mission? maybe someone has a saved game i can get? iunno if u can import saves but i cant get past this part and im not willing to replay 6 hrs to get there again. help?	mackaveli420 20/03/2007 01:47
	Hi Sonny Yep looks like you got the wrong weapon...start again with standard load-out.I know it's not what you wanna hear. BUT you ain't gonna finish with what u got right? This is by far the worse/toughest mission in the game...you need all the help u can get... oh and every time you DO manage to set off the charges on the arty...run as far away towards the next target as u can b4 the timer runs out and blows...why? because then you will avoid some of the enemy scripted to appear right after the explosion in that area...and beLieve me, you need to AVOID them as much as u can!! lol THIS WAY WHEN YOU GET SHOT AND DIE(THIS WILL HAPPEN!!) the game will load up with you as far away from the explosion, and enemies in that area as you've managed to get JUST BEFORE THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED. It's tough for sure but not impossible..the rest of the game is a breeze comnpared to this. Another thing, whilst on the many attempts to finish this level, I went for a walk in the park! lol and found guns and ammo where the 1st havoc crashed ...might help in an emergency... good luck	grunt 04/03/2007 18:02
	I'm starting this mission with only 4 rounds of ammo for my sniper rifle and just 2 rounds in my mp5sp. So with only 4 rounds it's probably impossible, right? If I could get some ammo I would have a chance. I never found any ammo on the dead terrorist yet. What can I do? Maybe I have the wrong weapons.	Sonny 27/02/2007 03:31
	Phew! It's a hard level for sure, just done Mayday lol It's the target in the castle that got me stuck for ages!! Unfortunately for me more than a few times when I successfully blew up a target the game save would load up as half health instead of full health??wtf lol and you don't last long in that condition grrrrrrrrrr But I played this the opposite way round to the walkthrough here and took checkpoint 6 1st ...this way you'll avoid the machine gunner since he is facing the wrong way if you come to this target from the other side of the park. There are 2 little paths that lead to this area, take the one furthest up and aviod the 2 guards round the corner It's easy to hide in the bushes and then run to the truck and hide. From there you can see the target to blow-up They are all pretty static enemies here and do not move or flank much at all, there's even 2 of them get stuck inside the tents!! and the machime gunner is facing the wrong way so this is easy-peasy! Plenty of ammo going spare, so pick it up!! Not only will you get this checkpont 6 relativly easy.Doing the castle last will make getting to the extraction point easier too, You MUST take plenty of grenades and the rpg! You MUST clear ALL the terrorists from the front of the castle if like me you tried to sneak up to the gates without doing this you just get shot from behind, even tho' your lying down flat to the side of the castle gates!!(how those terrorists managed to get that angle of fire is beyond me! they are at the bottom of the slope for christsake!!! grrrr lol) If your coming from the direction of chkpnt 6 You will find a small ridge to climb to the left of the castle do some sniping on the 2 patrolling enemies below you, keeping your drone busy scouting the enemy movements as there will be 1 or 2 more who will walk from the castle onto the ridge you are on, take them out. Move forward on the ridge and target the terrorist behind sandbag cover...that just leaves the 5 enemy in the front of the castle. Use the rpg to take out the machine gunner and 2 others grouped with him. For me the last 2 were behind tents ..but are easy to take out. If you have cleared all the terrorists from the front of the castle your approach is much simpler. You can now stand to the left or the right of the gates and I just started lobbing grenades over the wall! took out the machine gunner and 2 others, used the rpg to take out the guy on the second floor balcony (just aim the nearest to him ..it worked for me lol) Now if you've done the castle chekpoint 5 last it's easy to get to the extraction point, just run down the hill and keep running!! don't need to fire a shot since from this chechpoint your MUCH closer to the extraction point. Good luck You HAVE to load up with rpg and extra grenades you must clear the enemy from the lower slope in front of the castle. Somehow they can shoot you from the bottom of the slope even if your lying down besides the castle gates at the top!	grunt 03/02/2007 02:54
	Do you have to take the left or the right road? By the left road i've got some terrorists and an Armed Vehicle in an old area where you destroyed the last ADAT. Do I have to take them out or leave them by what they are.	dworf 02/01/2007 19:05
	Yes, the patch disabled the mouse cross com. I also re-installed the game and the problem was fixed. Haha, noname. I wonder if running through the whole level works. hmm....	Cobra 24/10/2006 08:58
	Have run out of ammo, and i used it sparingly, any ideas. Thanks.	asdy 16/10/2006 00:47
	Been on this level a month, getting way too bored ; latest patch is too big to download on dialup. One way to get through a lot of the park is hit and run although you will have to get killed a lot. Apache support isn't availble usually. Obvious that if this was a real mission it would fail.	noname 02/10/2006 17:07
