Cannot pass the part with 3-officer meeting

[Aegis Kleais™]

Wow. I'm suppressing the desire right now to just talk about how much I'd want to punch a dev in the face for doing this, but I'll try to hold back and just give the facts.

Singleplayer mission where you climb scaffolding, target an officer and then you're supposed to kill him after he picks up intel. Well, I've failed 17 times in a row and I have gotten to the point where I am just aggravated beyond belief, so I'm turning to the forums so someone can tell me how they got passed it.

What's worse is that the developer thought it would be fun to make it so I'd have to climb the tower and wait the 15 seconds each time for the officers to get together, just so I'd inevitably fail again from not being able to discertain from the object what in the hell they want me to do.

I tried staying up on the scaffodling and following the marked general. The moment he enters a door, the mission fails. I've tried shadowing the officer and the moment he gets near the door, he opens it, turns around, takes out a gun and the mission fails (though I've made no noise or indication of my presence)

I'm pretty much admitting defeat here because I cannot figure out what in the hell the developer wants me to do. It's poorly designed encounters like this which make me drastically drop a game's rating. Right now, factoring in this type of issue and all the repetitious nature of the game, I'd say it's hovering around a 5.5/10.

If anyone could be so kind as to tell me how they got past this part; much appreciated.

I had the same problems. Use the binoculars to tag all three when you are up there. I didn't do that and after the meeting without firing a shot it said mission failed.

I have only played on authentic- coop. But same thing as OP. Mission fails right after the cut-scene when they talk and before anyone moves. 3 times in a row is infuriating when it takes 20+ min to get there without a save!

Cant you save anytime you want? I watched a friend play he could save anytime.

Same issue as a previous post, after I climbed the scaffolding I tagged the officer, then saved my game. They split up, I decided to headshot one of the "lesser" officers, mission failed. Fine. Load my savegame, the save when I first climbed the scaffolding, and the mission fails right away after I load saying I "alerted the officers". So load a previous save game, right? Problem is, that was the only save game I had for that mission. Now it looks like I have to start the ENTIRE mission over again.

Unacceptable Rebellion!

Actually you don't even have to trail him to the scaffolding. I planted some dynamite outside the door he walks out of(before the meeting). Once I get the ping that says get the intel, I killed him with the dynamite. Killed the other 2 officers and then carried his body over to the scaffolding. Dropped his body there, and shot the red explosive tank...

Uk-ren thx a million if I can follow that advice theres probably hope for me yet
But I believe theres still some glitches around this 3 generals section

Nice vid Frostbite thank you too

I can't even get to the part where the officers meet. As soon as I climb the latter, the mission fails. Has anybody that has this problem been able to proceed?

Perhaps try to load a previous savegame? I dont know I had the same problem AFTER loading a savegame. When I loaded a previous savegame, it worked fine.

when you get to the top of the scaffold go prone immidiately, then switch to binocs, tag all three officers .... one of them will be different than the others.... keep watching them with the binocs... you'll hear the player character make a comment.... now, listen to the conversation (or read the subtitles).... follow the odd ball with the binocs, he'll go into a building ... (switch to rifle at this point) and come out again... wait a few seconds until he is near the (explosive) oil drum.....

[Nasenhupe]

Yea I think perhaps the people with the problems forget to tag them. Dont only watch them talking, you have to tag all of them with your binoculars, the target will be highlighted. And another tip: Dont let them hear you before the target retrieved the information or you killed him.

Here is a video of the problem.

That's really strange... must be a bug. Seems that something messed up during the mission. Hope they fix it soon.

ok i have done this mission on marksman/Sniper Elite mode. make sure you eliminate! ALL the baddies in and around that location. Espesh the 2 snipers. then head over to the scaffolding and enter the mission point.(after meeting) Stay on the scaffolding once you have (identified him) tagged him.. the other 2 officers should move to locations left and right. kill them first... silent as possible not to altert the main officer you need to track.. if He stands about idle? or goes a way not where you want him.. use the ROCKS to lure him to the truck where he faffs around in the box n shoot the drums on the Truck (officer dies on accident) Job done. I have done this on both marksman/Sniper Elite mode exactly same ways. And both have worked. on Authentic its a diff story... you have NO Tags so you cant tag the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ officer = mission fail! and you dont get to restart at last point. its game over! restart the whole dam mission. So can't use tags in Authentic.. How the HELL! suppost to do that part of mission.. Sigh......
