Hoth Impossible - Page 3

daventry · 11-26-2005, 06:42 AM

I also play Normal, but the Rebels keep eating me.

They should've added an Easy option aswell.

When by some meracle i got past the Level, i was shocked to see from all that beating, the Game ended.

You know, in hindiight, the storymode is the second worst POS for a modern shoot-em-up this millenium.

The first being BF1. I mean, doesn't anyone else feel ripped off that 99% of all objectives involve capturing posts and the Hoth level is a rip-off?

When I lose games, I prefer to lose through my own stupidity. Not because it's me versus the entire rebellion on my own. It isn't even about 'skill' more about luck sometimes and I refuse to play though the story mode on PC, at least you can cheat on 2-player co-op.

We want OBJECTIVES, not stupid 'move the flag into position against infinately spawning rebels'.

when i buy the game im gonna have to play it on elite cause normal was too easy for me. the ONLY mission i had trouble with was the one where vader boards the princesses ship. mainly cause i was being stupid and couldnt find where she was hiding. about the 3rd time i used the map.... :\

oh and for the record i found hoth to be dissapointing for its lack of challenge... maby ellite will challende me more.

Commander Obi-Wan · 11-26-2005, 08:14 PM

The name of that map is Tantive IV. And stay on topic. This is about Hoth, not Tantive IV.

PoiuyWired · 12-01-2005, 01:57 AM

Hoth is way harder than the rest.

Its like impossable to stop the rebels from dropping a million nades into the trench destroying the bomb after you plant it.

I know someone talk about vader but he never comes out after the cut scene. I have the PC CD version, but doubt it makes any difference.

I am sure I myself did not destroy the bomb, cause FF is off, and the random rifle spray is not deadly enough.

Redtech · 12-01-2005, 07:05 AM

The rebel base is protected by loads of sentry guns, so you really need someone as nimble as maul to muck around outside...

I find it funny that it actually a really good co-op level though, when one dies, the other can respawn and give backup. Easy.

deamonomic · 12-01-2005, 11:37 AM

i used the dark tropper his weapon can hit multiple ppl.

You can fly back there in a stolen speeder and blow them all up without taking any damage. Do this before you reach the area as a objective.

Redtech · 12-01-2005, 01:57 PM

Hmm, never thought of that.

You both know you can change the brightness and the contrast right?

Hoth was simple, use vader. BEFORE you place the signal, destroy all turrets. If you lost him, be a ENGINEER after you drop it because the rebels will IGNORE you. They just keep chucking gernades at the objective. It takes at least 5 gernades to take <10% off(xbox version) the objective and you repair 5+% every second. If you take damage, give yourself health. You can kill rebels every so often inbetween too or let them run out of ammo(which they will).

Findannus · 01-17-2006, 10:22 AM

Hoth is much easier when you have Friendly Fire on. The Rebs will do more damage to each other than to the beacon, and you can stay back and pick them off at your leisure.

With friendly fire off though, it is much more challenging.

PoiuyWired · 01-17-2006, 04:32 PM

I finish it with FF off.

FF ON might be more interesting, but I hate FF games. Well, the Imps don't have enough reenforcements for me to slaughter my teammates.

General Solo · 01-17-2006, 05:57 PM

When I was playing Hoth with my cousin the rebels always won. I would be in a At-At and I would be destroying all of the turrets and I destroyed the sheild generator and then my cousin and I went onto the next part of Hoth and that is when the hard part came up with the beacon. And my cousin was Vader and I have no idea how he died, probably with a grenade

sjracer · 01-19-2006, 01:57 PM

if u think hoth is hard you should try polis masa. That is hard. I admit i had trouble with hoth and polis masa. for hoth you just have to keep on attacking there hanger after you take out the shield generator. for polis masa take over there main base at the other end trust me they work just try it..

Polis Massa...isn't too hard. After playing it once I had no problem beatinf afterwards. But, eh, we all have are own opinions.

General Solo · 01-19-2006, 05:52 PM

yea Polis Massa was not that hard compared to hoth. Some people also thought that space missions were hard but when I first played them it was really fun and easy at times.

sjracer · 01-20-2006, 01:06 PM

It was easy at first but when i played as the republic it was HARD. hoth is a ######## i admite that but polis massa is hard

PoiuyWired · 01-20-2006, 05:28 PM

Well space mission is a whole new ballgame, but not too hard when you used to it. It is also nice to change the space controls to suit your needs, like disable reverse mouse, and change the "roll" buttons to your A and D.

Polis Massa is a bit annoying, in the way where stupid teammates are always blocking your path. I won't call it hard though, just annoying. FF off helps alot here. (then again I don't really like to play FF off, I get more kills off my team than comp most of the times)

zerted · 01-20-2006, 07:57 PM

FF on helps on Polis Massa too. Shooting down all those dumb bots that are blocking your way

PoiuyWired · 01-21-2006, 02:44 PM

On PM all AIs are stuck on the corridor... leaving the stairs largely empty.

So just go up the stairs and double back, nailing enemy bots from behind. Its a easy ride.

Davinq · 06-29-2006, 03:51 PM

What I'm working on right now is to get to Legendary Status via IA so I have all the kick*ss guns at my disposal, hopefully making it easier to pick of the Rebel Scum in this level

TSR · 06-29-2006, 04:18 PM

once again, another persons elite hardcore imperialism sickens me.

eh, legendary takes a while, and the levels i'd suggest to get that status are geonosis and mos eisley- the former for the vehicle based awards and the latter for the troop absed awards.
just to make this on topic and to add a bit of controversy: Hoth was the easiest level on the game

Wakky_Monkey · 07-07-2006, 10:26 PM

If ne1 has some good tips that would be useful I always die as D.V. and then i cant set traking thingy

Ro'bert · 07-28-2006, 03:21 PM

I agree, it is impossible

RC-1162 · 09-09-2006, 01:14 PM

i nneed help myself. i got owned like, 7 times and am always running out of reinforcements. i mean, what the **** is up with the rebels having infinite reinforcements? i thought the EP5 Hoth rebels were severly outnumbered?

TSR · 09-09-2006, 05:04 PM

everywhere else, yes. maybe they were all wacking it off at hoth, and you just happen to arrive then

Arcesious · 12-31-2007, 04:05 AM

make sure you've got frenzy unlocked on legendary. if it's too hard cheat. but do try to beat is without cheat help, as you'llb e proud of yourself afterwards for doign a good job. the award rifle pwns everyone though- my advice is to watch you ammo load count though and hdie to relaod when you need to. it is hard, just go coempletely insane and shoot anything that moves, even your own men. (but make sure friednly fire is off)

DarthDavis92 · 01-01-2008, 12:18 AM

dude
suggestion
don't resurrect year old posts
