How do you complete level 2 on operation flashpoint dragon rising
Level two would be the night time operation where you have to disable SAM sites etc. am I right?
You came to the right person - as I only recently did all the missions on Hardcore (not to brag or anything) :D
The best way to do things is to move through the woods at the start, avoiding the truck convoy. You should come to a little inlet on your left, and see a bunker with a guy in. AVOID IT. And do not open fire. Head right up the hill and do not be seen.
Keep moving east along the woods without engaging any hostiles, and you should eventually come across a building overlooking your objective. Enter the building and go upstairs - ignor the dead civilian.
From here, when you are ready, engage hostiles. If you are not sure, send two of your guys out to the site after you think you killed all the hostiles (but keep your medic with you just in case).
Blow up the SAM site quickly, when it's clear.
Your next objective is a Radar array or something, to the EAst. Looking on your map you will see a little village east of your current location. DO NOT ENTER IT. Tell your guys to "Cease Fire" or "Fire on My Lead".
Head south QUICKLY as there will be an attack helecopter nearby. Stick to the trees, and scout south below the village. The important thing is to stay far away from unecessary conflict.
you should aim to go south, then east until you've cleared the village. Keep going east until you go past your next objective and hit a rocky incline with some "telephone pilon" things. Go north towards your objective so that you have effectively got behind it.
Finally, you should be on the hill with the Radar array somewhere to your west. Quite often you have enemies approaching the Radar from the west by this point, so send your two guys out again (this time keep the sniper.)
Keep watch over the Radar. If situation turns critical or you run out of time, you will have to rush the array. Tell your men to defend the point just west of the array, or lay down suppressive fire. Then rush in and set your charges. You should be able to get pretty close sticking behind rocks. Then wait for a little clearing and RUN!
It doesnt matter if you loose all your men here as long as you destroy the radar, because all you have to do next is RUN! as fast as you can north-east through a little gap in the hills. In my experience they have never followed me very far or fast.
Get to the marker - mission complete! Hope that helped.
