Splinter Cell: Mission 3 problem

[basza]

Zipline at the beginning Sam will fall off the line and bounce off edge of the platform without grabbing the edge. I have been trying to do this for the last hour.

click on the middle mouse button, you will speed up when ziplining. :D

Thanks Llekots that did the trick. Sorry for the late reply, but only able to play games towards the end of the week.

Hate to renew a years old topic, but I've been trying this for a while, and middle mouse click or no Sam will not stay on the platform. Anyone else have any ideas? It's a Windows 8.1 system, so maybe an OS or compatability issue?

Mission 3 is Oil Refinery? You need to crouch.

Tapping C lifts his legs so he can clear the edge.

Well, I was in the same situation, and first, this glitch/problem begins at the end of the pipe, suddenly the character moves in a specific point (in the middle approx) so, I jumped, crouched, up and down, moving to front, and finally I did (I have to say that that is stupid, but well, errors everywhere) I hope that I this help you. Bye bye!

Strange, crouching always works like charm. You need to press C when you are on the pipe, not after you jump off. Like here (2m47s).

Yeah, but it doesn't work for me, I try it even before read it here, strange, and now I can't play, even the main menu doesn't appear... and I found another problem in the wall mines mission... *sigh* is sad to have this kind of problems.

I think he meant scrolling not clicking. When moving if you scroll up you will get a speed boost, which alows you to clear the gap with the exploding zipline.

What's the problem with the Wall Mines?

[Rarewolf]

it seems random. weather it lets you take them off or not.
i press LMB and space to try to get it to work. took 5 reloads on the second mine to finally get it to take off.

Why not ignore the wall mines?

You need to perform the action when the light on the wall mine flashes green, then you can take it safely every time

so you can take them and use them against the enemies (you'll thank me when you get to Abattoir)

[Ghidrah1]

If you play the game the way it was intended you'll never have a need.
I've been playing SC since 03, never took a mine, never used one against the BGs.

Been through Mission 7 more times than I can count, I use 2 rnds, both of them on pipes for noise distractions
