Title: Man Down (updated version)
Creator: Jonathan 
Creation Date: 6/26/03
Game Type: Singleplayer

This version has been updated after receiving feedback from my older brother Steve, and my friend Bruce.  I went ahead and added the things they recommended to improve upon;  and even added the things my brother Steve said "not" to do.  :)   Basically, I've extended the mission a little bit to where you now have to extract to the two Rangers;  and I've added a few surprises. 

Overview:  While returning from a fire fight in the city, your team's Humvee broke down.  During the fire fight, one of your team mates (Jones) was wounded.  He's being watched over him by Garner.  To make matters worse, it's getting dark and the situation doesn't appear too good as the civilians have lit fires around your area.   The fires are signals to the clans men that US forces are nearby.  The good news?  You still got your weapon and Bruce as a team mate.   Stay put and help will arrive.  


Installation:  

1.  Unzip all the files to your DF BHD dir.   
example  C:\games\Delta Force Black Hawk Down\

2.  To get the text messages and wav files to work, you need to add the /d switch command to your BHD shortcut icon.  
example  "C:\games\Delta Force Black Hawk Down\dfbhd.exe" /d

3.  Start the game with your shortcut;  select single play, and then Mandown. 


Note:  If too many civilians are killed, the mission will end.  Doesn't matter if you kill them, your team mates, or the tangos.   So watch your team mate.  He has a itchy trigger finger.  You might want to think about leaving him in the rear to cover while you take the 2nd floor.  So as soon as the mission starts, use the command "Hold Position".

On a few occasions, the enemy seems to get hung up on some things like corners/buildings.  And sometimes they'll be right outside your building.   So if the game seems stuck (like nothing is going on for 3 mins), I recommend that you check the area around you.   Again, this should be very rare.

Also, the two Rangers (Mickey and Jonboy) must make it to the extraction zone.

Hints: The 2nd floor provides a good spot to cover from.  Most of the enemy will attack from the north.  And some from the west.  I like the CAR with grenade attachment.  Just be careful of using nades with civilians running a muck.  Don't forget to use health and ammo kits as needed.  For those that are bold, the Humvee outside the building has a 50 cal too.  Also, when you find the Rangers, look for a wall to blast thru.  The wall is easy to spot, just look for one with cracks in it.

This updated version might be a little hard for some players.  I've bumped the saves up to 9.  Also, there's an armory & unlimited health and ammo at waypoint Alpha.   Other health and ammo kits are scattered on the map.  Recommended that you try to pace your saves.  Cause sometimes it seems like 20 saves are needed to get thru this mission.   :)  

enjoy
