How can I win the mission "Big Bang"?

Quote[/b] ]how do you put your teamleader sniper on hold fire? i can only give orders when i control the teamleader, and even then i can only give orders to my mates, not myself.

I seem to remember (its been a while) that I just got my team leader and saboteur to swap their weapons so the team mates have the Sniper Rifles and I use the team leader to get in close.

I've read all this and sill can't do this mission.

I've got to the point of killing everyone in the camp, nobody usese the radio, nobody has escaped. However, a truck still arrives and they kill me.

Just another addition - I managed to finally complete it but I couldn't find any way of telling the sab. guy to plant the explosives on the truck. ***So what I did was just tell him to put them on the ground and drove the trucks over them.

Funnily enough one of them had injuries and was crawling along, I got in the chopper and left the 2 guys behind, still completed okay.

I managed to cover the radio and some of the guards stood at the two Urals on this mission while my team took out the other soldiers in the camp.

As the Urals were leaving under fire they both turned 'right' as they came out of the camp instead of using the road, right to where we were positioned. I shot the drivers, then the extraction order was given because the alarm was raised, then the reinforcements turned up so I shot those.

I ordered the satchels to be placed by the two vehicles, blew them up and got the mission completed.

I thought that once the extraction order had been given due to the enemy calling in backup, the mission was a failure? It is supposed to be a stealth mission, isn't it?

Fuzzy Logic

you can teamswitch to your saboteur.

On this one I remember I ordered the other two guys on the team to concentrate on shooting the Ural drivers which disabled them as they tried to leave the sheds. Then I told them to engage at will any other target in view while I plugged anyone that went near the radio. Eventually we shot the whole lot, even the reinforcements, with the loss of the saboteur on our side. I grabbed his satchel bombs, blew up the Urals then we legged it out to the extraction area with no further intervention.

you can teamswitch to your saboteur.

Apologies for the complete noob question, but how do you teamswitch? I know once you're dead you can do that...

You press "T" and select what team member you want to switch to.

Only problem being, after I switch to the Saboteur, the team leader opens fire as does the other sniper and all hell breaks loose!!.

Tried making sure they are both set to "Hold fire" before switching but it doesnt seem to help.

This mission looks fun, but its very tricky.

How do you get them to swap weapons?.

That is a complete pain and I'm sure it is wrong, it's exactly the reason why I don't use the Team Switch option.

After carefully setting up my teams positions and priorities on this mission I 'tried' a team swap to my saboteur and my team leader suddenly started barking out orders to everyone and all hell broke loose, completely ruining everything in the process.

The Rambo AI obviously doesn't know what the mission requires, so I think you should assume the leaders role when switching in my opinion.
