Does anyone have some suggestions for a walkthrough for Zaleb's Stronghold?

Posted by: IGIHero

The Zaleb's Stronghold that I am referring to is the 12th mission in IGI-2. There are no "saves" that I can find. It is a very difficult mission. I was looking for some help on a walkthrough or a cheat code that would save some time. I completed the game but it really means you have to be very lucky to get by all the "bad guys".

I find it relatively straight forward. Firstly, destroy the main fuel tank outside the first building from distance so as to take out the RPG guards on the roof, then just machine gun the remaining guards. The guards in the other chopper are relatively easy too ... the hardest bit for me is the three jeeps on the road - you can blow up the barrels to take out the RPG guards, but the barrels for the first jeep are on the far side, and by the time you can see them clearly, the RPG guy is in range to attack you. Its a bit hit and miss, but firing early sometimes gets results. The next bit is the solitary building with some barrels outside - start firing thru the walls, and as you get closer, if there is anyone standing outside, shoot the barrels ! There are also some barrels just inside the door - shoot thru the walls to trigger them. As the chopper curves away, keep gunning at the door til its physically impossible. Then swing round for the final target. Blow up the central fuel tank from distance. Two of the bulidings have RPG guys on the roof, but there are also barrels, again shoot from distance and machine gun those barrels. Take out the guards in the towers, and also check for another RPG guy coming out the door from the middle building - if he's there, take him out before he can fire. If the chopper has yet to land, start firing through the walls of the buildings to take out the guards inside - some are just visible in some of the windows, so take em out.

When the chopper touches down, the best thing to do is stay on the machine gun and gun down the guards who come out of the building and as before shoot thru the building walls at the guys inside, including Major Said ! (use the thermograph to check targets). All you'll have left is the three guards who spawn on the lower roof as you approach the corner building, and the guards who spawn from the garage when you pick up the case - but i've usually a grenade for them which i lob out the window at them ...

Trivia
One time after the chopper landed, i decided to mount the road and run back along it to examine the buildings you pass by in the chopper - and it was quite a walk ! What i discovered was that the RPG guys actually fire heat seeking rockets ! The normal ones just fire straight, and indeed, if you pick one of their weapons up and fire it, it just goes straight. But when they fire, the curve and home in on you ! No wonder they never missed the chopper !
