American: Capture the Admiral

[Hamptonsux]

Ok, got the Admiral captured, leading us to the next mission, where you have to defend while the negotiations take place. Tried it over and over, but fail everytime, soooooooooooo....

I didn't stealth my way thru the mission where I capture the Admiral, and I recall that I was given a warning that it would make things tougher. I have 2 questions about this.

1. IF I had stealthed my way thru the 1st part, does it make a huge difference in the amount of troops and armored vehicles attacking later on?
I will be EXTREMELY pissed off if I actually take my time to stealth thru the whole damn thing, and STILL get swarmed by so many enemies.

2. How exactly are a handful of men, equipped only with a couple of knives that can only be thrown, and aren't allowed to shoot anyone, supposed to accomplish this freakin' nightmare.

Can the knives be reused after you throw them and make a kill?


A word of warning to any of you complaining about the difficulty of the other campaigns leading up to the American one, it only gets tougher. Take everything that pissed you off before, and now imagine only being given a handful of guys, and instead of armor, now you are given AT RIFLES......... yes, now you not only don't have any effective vehicles, your unit have to do "shoot and scoots" basically popping up to try to destroy armor before they get blown to pieces from multiple angles.

Honestly gang, I didn't buy this game to play "Commandos". I bought it for the unique opportunities to use different types of armor, and tactics with the "big toys". If the whole American campaign is like this, I might as well not even waste my time.
