Battlezone 1

Hey, all,

I'm getting stumped at the point where I'm about to eject from my ship and float into the CCA camp on foot to commandeer a tank.

How the heck does the pilot get the distance without a vehicle to float down in there? There is a mountain pass and another mountain to get over.

The vehicle that drops the nav beacon up top blows up and suddenly (in the video I'm watching on YouTube, the player making the vid is out of his vehicle and flying.

How is that being done? How do I cover that distance?


Thanks in advance.

MK

do you know how to eject?
Yeah just get on that mountain the ship was on. face the cca base and push ctrl + e

Ahhh... I was just hopping out. Kinda' forgot about the old cntrl-e. I'm back on this game for the first time in about 10 years...


It's startin' to come back to me.


Thanks, guys.

MK

yeah thats what happened to me. before you get on multiplayer again, you should really play the Red odyssey first. since were such a small community everyone is freackishly good at this game. so yeah going on multiplayer first thing is a bad idea in any game especially BZ

I'm sure of that. I was middle of the road when I played way back when so I expect a good lickin'.

What is Red Odyssey? A custom map? Single Player? I'm running straight 1.5 right now.

PS. Rest assured I will be using a pseudonym my first few times on multiplayer. You know, saving face and all...

lol

The Red Odyssey is the expansion pack for BZ. It has a Chinese and a Blackdog campaign with new units and missions and a new storyline. It's tough to get it working on modern computers, though, as it hasn't been updated to 1.5.

ctrl-e doesn't do it...

It's actually defaulted to ctrl-b, not ctrl-e. Try that.

Yea, I got it. Thanks, dabber!

MK

That's debatable...

And by the way, that scout doesn't always appear on top of the mountain. A lot of times I have played through that mission and the scout just doesn't show up at all, I don't know whether it's down to the difficulty settings or whatever because I always have it on the hardest difficulty..

I used to think you had to follow the ejected pilot into the base... I played the mission over and over, following that annoying guy only to follow him back to the armory. That would be cool if he snuck into the base too.

It looks like his ship just blows up but he's hollering "Yipee" so I guess not.

Yeah, I always stressed out trying to find that pilot, when I never needed to...
