Dude, or anyone else. Help I'm stuck in the campaign mode. I've beat it already, but I'm at the part where you blow up the Dam. The OSD keeps telling me to press 3 to detonate the bomb. When I press 3 it brings up a grenade launcher. I've pushed every key on this board and every mouse button I have. Will somebody tell me how to detonate the darn bomb.
Thanks Ryan, that's my problem, I don't have C4. So, how did I manage to place the bomb to begin with. I guess I'll have to replay the whole mission to make sure I have some C4 at the end. Sounds like a glitch in the game, to me
Sorry, just noticed this. You can get C4 at the beginning of the mission. C4 and mines are located near the crashed helicopter on the right in the supply cache.
Yea, I know I just didn't get it. But, I don't think the game should let you place the C4 if you don't have any and no way to detonate it, or you should have it by default. Seems like it should be one way or the other to me. So, I get to play the whole darn thing over again. I mean really, how can you place the charge with something you don't have and no way to detonate it. I think it's a flaw in the game.
IIRC, you go into the damn shooting your way in, somehow get inside and stop at the other end of it, one of your guys tells you to place the C4 in one of the columns or something, and it also glows a bit (I believe), after you do so you will start to head out and when you get to a certain point (safe distance) it tells you to detonate... Again, IIRC it took some time to detonate, you know, they make it seem like a bad cliffhanger movie part where it won't explode but all of sudden it does?
Thanks AstaLaVista, That's pretty much right as I recall. I have completed the campaign completely already. But, the screen hints say to press 3 to detonate the C4. When I push 3 it brings up a grenade launcher which happens to be my gadget #3. I have cycled through the whole arsenal and I have no C4 or any detonator. Trust me, I've replayed the same scene probably 100 times over about 3 days and have tried every key and mouse button I have and even tried combinations of keys. I have no clue at this point. I see it as a flaw in the game because you can't detonate the C4 without the C4 trigger. Besides, if I don't have C4 how did I set the bomb to begin with and there is no where to change weapons between setting the bomb and fighting your way to the point to detonate it, I don't think.
OK, I'm finished and found the 'secret', as soon as the scene starts ther is a green ramp to your left. Irish and Hanna run over it and it blows up. You have to get over it and go to exactly where Irish and Hanna are, then pushing 3 brings up the detonator. I had tried going over it about 4 times, but every time I made the turn I blew up and died. I guess timing is everything. Unless you are in the exact right spot, you can't blow up the damn dam (pun intended).
