I am stuck in the mission were I am suppose to evaucate a female captain who may have information about a colonel who may be a traidor. The first task is to kill all the plasma bugs. Can somebody write a walkthrough for this mission, please?
Background:
I got recently Starship Troopers in the local EB
store. My sound would not work so I went looking for
the official board, http://www.stta.com, and noticed
that several people were complaining about problems
with the game. I posted my problem and got feedback
which effectively solved my problem. About the game, it is actually very good: an excellent squad
level
strategy game. My problem
is that the game has no in-game save feature and
missions get quite long and difficult. After a few
levels achieving a mission amounts to solving a
puzzle: there is only one way to solve it and if you
don't do it that way you'll get swarmed by bugs. So
you end up playing each mission over and over (like
Aliens vs. Predator). Anyway, I got stuck in a
mission, went to the webpage and to my horror found
that the message board doesn't exists anymore. I
checked the news and there is no mention that there is
amy problem. Actually, they don't mention anything
about the board as if it was never there.
I guess some people got carried away in their complaints. So Microprose is punishing everybody and
I am
frustrated with that. I don't want to try this mission again, I
am getting killed after almost 2 hours of gameplay and
have no clues on how to proceed and the only place
were I could asked have been canned (there is no
strategy guide for sale either). I am going to try a few more times but afterwards I am going to
return it. After all, it has no multiplayer and no skirmish mode. So if I cannot advance, it is
pretty much over for me.
