First and foremost this game is a blast!!!
This level has had me stumped for the last 5 days....
(The wife is a little irratated to say the least... but you know
how it goes) Anyway...
I've been able to get past the Obelisk Of Light after destroying
the power plants and have searched (cleared) most of the map.
But for the life of me I can not find a place to access the GDI base
without be pummeled by the artillary found just to the north of
were the game starts. The bridges all have Firestorm walls
and if I try and and come around the backside I get creamed
by the artillary. After reading some of the posts I'm wondering
if my situation is tied into the fact that the radar (by the power
plants destroyed to get past the Obelisk Of Light) was destroyed
earlier in the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
E-mail me at bcarp...@earthlink.net or just post to the group..

again thanks for any help, Brad

There's a stretch of water around the back (north) of the Hammerfest
base, try going round there.... there's a cliff you can shoot. DON'T
capture/destroy the Nod radar.. leave it be :) Restart the mission if you
have too :) I'd capture a Hand Of Nod too, so you can get a few Cyborgs out
and about.

of course, Rammel means capture the HoN *after* you've recaptured
Hammerfest, or those bloody Artillery fire at you =)

later,

I captured the one by the powerplants for the obelisk, and it never
fired at me :p Maybe I'm just lucky... hehe. Mind you, I remember an
artillery piece was wandering along the bridge, so I just blasted it with
the HMLRS :) Must've caught it out of position

Maybe, just maybe if you'd actually studied the group over EVEN A SMALL
PORTION of those 5 days you'd been stuck YOU'D HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER to the
question. Did you not think that someone else had perhaps become stuck and
asked the same question here AND HAD IT ANSWERED? Well I've lost count of
the number of times this question has been answered. GO FIND IT YOURSELF YOU
LAZY FAT BASTARD. Key strings: Hammerfest, Help, Capture hammerfest,
Hammerfest base.

Don't capture the radar - the artillery becomes active when it's captured.
It's a sneaky red herring from Westwood :-). Use the hovers to destroy all
of the power units from water level. Once they're gone, the Obelisk of Light
is off.
