Steal A Chopper - Dodge A SAM - Fly A Tight Canyon


Canyon Flight Mission
 

To deliver a Unidad supply helicopter to the rebels the Wildlands team must brave a canyon which narrows to two rotor diameters. Worse, it narrows in a tight, horseshoe curve. Worse yet, the chopper must first elude a SAM launch as it dives for the canyon. Striving to get below the canyon rim and break the site's radar lock - skin of the teeth... Then stay below the canyon rim to avoid the many other SAM sites along the route. Flying in classic mode the Blackhawk is sluggish, especially in tight places. Before reaching the challenging horseshoe the helo must fly under a bridge while dodging the old bridge's ruins. There are places where the wheels or the rotor tips skim literal inches from disaster.

This area on the map, Media Luna, is nearly impossible to fly over due to the numerous anti-air installations manned by Unidad. The only way to fly at all in Media Luna is to fly at extreme altitude above radar range or hug the lake surface and fly up the river while staying below the canyon rim. Once a site locks on, the only way to survive is to break the site's radar lock. This is only possible by diving below the canyon rim or flying within feet of the ground or water.

Stealing the helicopter was not difficult using stealth and a minimal 'touch' on the site. Taking out only those guards who posed the most imminent danger. Maintaining stealth but moving at an efficient speed gets the team out and airborne quickly. Diving for the river mouth from the mesa top, past the SAM site, into the lake and river. A heart in the throat thing.

Shadow Warrior 2 Takes Me Back 1992 - Wolfenstein 3D, first 'almost' 3D game environment. 1993 - DOOM takes PC gamers by storm! 1996 - Quake takes multiplayer seriously as a main game mode in the 3D First Person Shooter (FPS) game. 1997 - The original Shadow Warrior comes out.  I remember them all. Played them all. See I have been gaming since the, get this, IBM PC jr came along. For all the silly name, it wasn't a bad machine for the time. Back then all games were things like King's Quest, Need For Speed, and such. Later, as hardware permitted, flying games came along like ACES of Europe, ACES of the Pacific. All that time I was wishing hard for what later became known as the FPS game. So, when Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and Duke Nukem 3D came along I was ecstatic. In the Shadow Warrior reboots of Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior 2 you find that late 90's style of FPS play. No strategy, not even much in the way of tactics like a modern military ...

A  Free-Play  Fur-Ball! Mass charges of over a dozen Unidad troops at a time. Little Bird gun ships,  Blackhawk Gatling gun and rocket pod choppers. Cobra attack helicopters shot down so close they crush an allied rebel and nearly pin me to the tower with the nose.    What started out as an aerial raid on Koani Airfield quickly became a Tier 39, Unidad patrol level 4 - fur ball. A Gatling gun equipped Blackhawk helicopter flies down the throat of Koani Airfield's three SAM sites and runway. Flying low to avoid a SAM launch, and raking the airfield with Gatling gun fire. Forcing Santa Blanca to responds with two armed Blackhawks. A ground infiltration follows, initiated by two ~400m shots. One a head shot. A brutal take  down on a guard gets me in. Then I flub a shot which starts the fur ball. With the help of rebel allies, the four man team takes over the furthest tower. Defending it against all comers. Unidad ground troops attack in wave ...
