Alternative endings!!!

[The Jub Jub Bird]

YEAH!!!! I finally compleated this stinking level (Red Dawn), I got Guba and started back towards my base via the enimy base to the east where the Hind is. Only when I got the the enemy base I was met by 2 (yes 2) T80s!!! I had a LAW as did the two ops I took with me in the Jeep so I thought - well I'll take these guys out and then go for the SCUD. I hid the Jeep and Guba (in the Jeep) in the trees and got me andmy men into advantageous positisions to take out the T80s. I knew the it'll take lots of shots - maybe even 3 LAWs to take out each T80 - so I was in a dilema. Do I get everybody to open fire on one at the same time and destroy it and then move on the the next before it opens fire on us? Do I set my buddies on one of the T80s and hopefully incapacite it whilst I make a desperate shot at the mussle of the other? Or do I just hop in the Jeep and go as fast as humanly possilbe?

So I decided to peg it - since opening fire would alert them to our possisions and we would nver get by. I got everyone into the Jeep and put the peddle to the metal. I managed to get passed them and nearly back to base camp to drop off Guba before I takled the SCUD. But just then a cutscene kicked in.

The cut scene showed the SCUD preparing for take off and then firling - OH s**t
!!!!

The cut scene then flicked to a pub in Everon with people all around this radio listening to the news and then some music. When all of a sudden it starts to hiss and then the ground begins to shake, and then off course the bright light....the end. Credits

Interesting huh? Is there a time limit I should be aware of?

[SpaceAlex]

Wow. Interesting ending, for you i mean. I have different ending. I suggest you, to revert the mission Red Down. Becouse this is not the right ending. You must take the hind and destroy the SCUD wit the Hind. When you destroy the SCUD than arrest Guba. First thing you must to do is to destroy SCUD. It is time limited. When you'll destroy the SCUD and arrest Guba, than you'll get anothere mission, where you meat with your friends in the bar.(Armstrong, Nichols and Hammer) You play as Gastavski in the last mission.

I never see that kind of ending. I will try that. I gess it's interesting.

[CHFlanker]

What's about this last "mission"?
How does it end?
On my machine the mission ends wiht te letters: "Old warfriends have met in the pub" (or something like that) and then a black screen and some pub ambince sounds.

Is that right? Don't know why but i think something went wrong!

[CHFlanker]

ups

Yep, I think you get a few minutes to prevent the scud launch.
You have mad skills just for getting there without the hind, d*amn
thats impressive. I just buzzed around in a hind and blew up everything, but I've never heard of anyone actually sneaking up to the scud itself.
If you complete the mission without the scud being launched, you get a similar scene, except the island doesnt get nuked, and you get a cool bonus level

[Scullbones]

What exactly was it that he did that made that other ending occur?? In other words, what do I have to do to get that ending?

[Aaron Kane]

To get the nuke ending, I'm pretty sure you just sit around after you capture Guba. He'll get bored and launch a nuke, or you can just not capture him at all (Though I did have an awesome car chase with my jeep and his UAZ, but a T80 shot me http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif)

If you want the good ending, you need to stop the scud before it launches. It's easy if you use the hind.

[SpaceAlex]

You must arrest Guba, before the SCUD will lounch his rocket. I have my own experiance. Anyway. I destroy the SCUD first and then i captured Guba.

[dazmorg]

I had that ending just by failing to stop GUBA. I love the bit where the radio is palying and you see the bloke take a piss..............ha ha ha very realistic

[Spetsnaz]

But if you guys look at the credit cutscene, it makes sence when the Everon is nuked. Story suggests that if Everon is nuked, there would be WWIII. The credit shows bunch of battles right? That could be the WWIII the story was talking about.

[The Jub Jub Bird]

Yeah that all amkes perfect sense all except those battles in the ending cut-scene all take place on Everon.

Anyway I decided to revert and completed it again, this time I saved Everon.

After capturing Guba I made note on the map of all the logical places the SCUD could be in, I sent Guba and one of my Black Ops into a newby wood and told them to ckepp low to the ground so they don't get seen. I then got into my Jeep with the other Black Op and bombed it as fast as I could to the North-East corner of the island systematically checking each possible area fora SCUD. I eventually went on foot for means of stealth and ran around lookig for it. When I got to the last possible place I had marked on the map I was well disappointed to find no Nuke. But then over the intercom my man I took with me called in saying he sees a SCUD and two T80s. I asked him to target the SCUD and tell me his status (he was someway behind me at this point)...he didn't get back to me "3 is down!". So I ran back along my path and sure enough I find the SCUD just rolling into posistion in wooded clearing. So I got into a convienient place and fired a LAW. I didn't look very impressive so I fired another two just to make sure it is dead. But then a small group of Spetnaz soldirers opened fire so I had to run, as I was running I got the message on the radio that the nuke was destroyed and the word saved - et volia!

[The Jub Jub Bird]

I think I prefered the nuke ending though - what a twist to the plot...

[MrLaggy]

Yeah, it's perfectly possible to jump in the UAZ after capturing Guba and then destroy the SCUD with a LAW; you don't have a lot of time, but you have enough to get there and destroy it without using a helicopter to do so.

[SpaceAlex]

I will try that way too. With no helicopter, but first i will try to nuke Everon.

[The Jub Jub Bird]

I tried the helicopter way loads of times but I could never ind the SCUD.

Oh well completed it know.

[Spetsnaz]

If the alternate ending is the real ending, there could be OFP2. That would be cool.

BTW, for the Red Dawn mission, I prefer to bring the RPG instead cuase all the weapon crated have RPG ammos only.

[Spike]

I destroyed two t80s near Gubas place and then when i landed my hind I found Guba running around next to his UAZ chased by a M113 which had killed his escorts and when i was going for the scud I got shot down by a shilka that shot down all the missiles i shot after it but landed right next to the scud which i then destroyed with a LAW. I know I am a lucky bastard......

[Cain]

Ohh this mission was hard, I managed to find and capture guba on the first try, but some bmp's came and blew me away at the town. Second try I captured Guba, SAVED the game http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif and put him in the UAZ as a driver and hid my team in the woods.
So I went of to destroy the scud, tokk me at least 15 tries to find the d*amn thing... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
But the funny thing was that when Guba was in the car I could drive by any enemy and they did not shoot.

[Japperi]

There is a little funny way in this mission. After several tries when I had blowed up the SCUD and then went after Guba, spetznatz or BMP's killed me so I now I started on the way to capture Guba first. So I took the Hind, flied to Gubas base, found one T-80 and an UAZ. I landed on the road, disembarked my soldiers and gave them the order to shoot the T-80 down. I myself went for the UAZ and I found it standing still there, not moving at all. So I started shooting the guys inside, first the driver, then the two spetznatz. At the same time my men shot down the T-80. Then I waited for about 30 seconds before Guba jumped out of the UAZ and a cutscene kicked in. Then I just blew up the SCUD and the rest is history. :/

[expendable]

Have you all completed the game with some update installed? I played it trough with the first version and in the last mission I had to take out that Scud, but there were only a squad of infantry on my command...
I also had the authority to call in M1A1´s and Cobras via radio, but they did no good. I completed the mission by telling the others to wait, then crawling to it with a satchell and destroying it. The mission was a failure even if I had destroyed the scud and then got killed. My survival was critical.

[Agua]

I don't know how in the #### you guys are getting that scud with the Mi24. I completed it following Laggy's advice, with a little variation, but those Shilka's blast the crap out of me approaching from waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy offshore and at 20 feet alt. They'll bring me down before I can even get a target on them.

The only way I've been able to do it is to load everyone in the Ural, go to the beach road a good bit west of teh burned out village, get out with the sniper and ambush the UAZ. Order Guba to move to the Nato base, then haul butt up the road to the north end of the island, riding on the ocean side of the cliffs. Take out the Scud with my LAW, then get the #### out of there. I've done it without losing any troops.

[Mr Z]

Hi there,

I completed this mission using the Truck at your starting point to chase down Guba's UAZ rammed it off the road, he hide in building, Run all the soldiers over then get out of truck, cutscene when near Guba ordered him inot truck, T80's came I got in Truck and drove as fast as I could towards the scud site, parked where no Tanks could see me, then creeped round to back of SCUD planted 3 Satchels http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif (just to make sure) ran back to truck and detonated the satchels! THE END!

[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
I did it on foot and prevented the launch...
Took the General with the Hind, then flew to the East Coast, got out of the helicopter, walked into the forest. Saw then somewhere bright ligts... That's the scud... Fired a Rocket - boom - blown up - went back into the forest and... RIGHT ENDING! ;-)

[Albert Schweitzer]

Those T80ies are dump, I blew them up with 30second charges. But I didnt find Guba, I had so much fun driving around in my jeep and hitting Spetznatz that I forgot about the man looking for his boat.

[Tortus]

You can gain the same Nuke ending by simply waiting for the Nuke to launch in "Seek & Destroy" and surviving.

[murphywnjuk]

hmm..gonna have to f*** up my mission just to see this then.

Expendable, your talking about a different mission, where you have to locate the scud hidden in that d*amn valley, If your stuck there, try going it alone or with just your spec op dudes, go around the big mountain and approach the scud from the north. The mission being discussed in this thread is the last one of the game.

[Propain]

i equiped all my men with assault rifles, and 2 with AT launchers. I captured the Hind, flew off to find Guba. I found the little man's car just outside a base (guess he had to take a piss) i paradropped my men right over the base, my sniper took down the 2 guards and the officer, my AT guys took out the approaching T80, i landed right inside the base, walked up to (surrounded) Guba, had the little chat, threw him and my men in the chopper, took off. First i headed for friendly territory to drop the guys off (with parachute) and then headed for 2nd scud. Took out a couple of Shilkas, stayed low, noticed the Scud (a white square on radar) and bombed the s**t out of it with missles. Mission complete!!

i found this mission pretty easy...i had a LOT more trouble taking out the 1st Scud (mainly because tanks now actually fire at the choppers, so they pretty much went down in flames http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif)

[nailbighter]

Actually, this is kind of funny.

I got in the helicopter and destroyed the SCUD.

I then went after Guba.

I laid down some missile fire on the road to slow him down. *** He drove off the road and up the hill in to the mountains. ***

I landed the helicopter got out and started to run up the hill. ***It took me forever so, I got back in the helicopter and tried to land right next to the car. ***

Well, the car took off.

So, I followed it again. ***And I shot some more missiles in front of it. ***
But, this time I ahh, "MISSED" ***:-)

The mission end with some thing like

Oh well, he was an evil man anyway.....

or something like that pretty funny..
