[Mission 08] Guardrail IX - Objective: Reach the drop point  (68/91)

Before you proceed to the main objective of this mission, you will have to reach the drop point in order to replenish your ammo. I would recommend that you start off with sending a drone. Make sure it has scanned the whole area. Be careful. There may be a single terrorist near the exit (#1). Kill him. Send a drone a little bit further. It will come up with about five new targets. At least three terrorists are standing by the tracks (#2), two more are guarding a nearby street.

 

 

Start moving towards the larger group of enemy soldiers. Be careful, though. There’s a watch tower on your left. It’s being occupied by a single sniper (#1). You will have to take him out as soon as possible. Once he’s dead, head on to the nearest building. Start shooting at the enemy soldiers (#2). Thankfully, you should know exactly where they are standing. You only have to make sure that the drone has completed a full scan of the area.

 

 

The road is being occupied by at least two soldiers. As a result, it would be best to avoid them. I would recommend that you choose a small passageway that should be located on your right (#1). There are some smaller buildings in this area. Thankfully, there aren’t any new terrorists. The crew of the gunship will start shooting at the nearby soldiers. Once you’re there, lean out and deal with those who have actually survived the attacks (#2).

 

 

Be careful! The area is not safe. A nearby street is occupied by at least two terrorists. It would be best to surprise them (#1). Thankfully, they shouldn’t be facing your direction. Make sure that everyone’s dead. Head on to the allied gunship (#2). I would recommend that you take a ZEUS-MPAR rocket launcher. You’ll need it later during this mission. CHECKPOINT 3.

I had the same problem with the tree. Stuck 4 4 days. What u have to do is take the streets as far to the right as possible. The brings the copter to a different spot.

I keep getting stuck on this level, too. I've been through this at least 10 times, and the chopper keeps getting caught in the tree. And, for me at least, getting there before the chopper lands is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My drop point is at an other position, its at the place where the football should be... One warehouse is being occupied by 12-15 men... it's a bit strange that I have an other drop point then the review...

Same issue here. I have been playing the game a awhile and am now pretty dissappointed because I cannot go any further. Refund???? I wish they would just come out with a patch.

a) i took a sniper rifle - you can eliminate even the most distant snipers and guys behind walls (as long as the drone sees them b) i walked as north as possible, there are not that many guys there c) i took my time and chopper was before at the drop point - no problem

I have the same problem, and I get there before the copter, and it still gets stuck. I have seen no one resolve this other than the "Get there before it does," answer. This is stupid because it's game over for me.

I can get the helo to move alittle by shooting the tree with grenades. Still won't unstick it.

THIS GAME HAS SOO MANY GLITCHES IN IT, IT AIN'T FUNY, I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A GAME SO HALF ASSED MADE AND SO ISAPPOINTING TO SAY THE LEAST. THE DRONE DOESN'T HAVE NIGHT VISION FOR THE NIGHT TIME MISSIONS, YOU DON'T GET A WIDE SELECTION F WEAPOINS IN YOUR INVENTORY, YOUR TEAM A.I IS VERY LOW, THE EMNEMIES A.I IS SMARTEN THEN MINE AND LAST UT NOTLEAST THERE ARE NO CHEAT CODES FOR THE PC VERSION. ALSO HAVE YOU NOTICED THERE AREN'T A WIDE SELECTION OF ENVIROMENTS FOR THESE MISSIONS? OR IS IT JUST ME?

I worked out how to get around this problem. The helicopter only seems to get stuck if it lands before you arrive at the drop zone - i.e. if you take your time getting there. If you get there before it lands and stand at the drop zone before it lands, it does not get stuck.

I am also getting this same problem. I've tried completing this section of the mission 3 times now and the helicopter gets stuck in the tree every time.
