I've been playing my way through the First Decade and have recently started on Tiberian Sun. First impressions were not good but now I have progressed a little way I'm starting to enjoy it.
A couple of days ago I started playing the level Rescue Tratos and got completely stuck. I looked at a couple of walkthroughs and every one told me that once I had destroyed the mini base I should go across a bridge to the prison base. However the bridge was broken. The only way across the river was using the bridge to the north which went right past the main base which was absolutely impossible since there is a huge enemy force there. I then noticed that I had missed out the previous optional mission which apparently gave unlimited time so I went back a couple of levels and played through the previous optional mission. Strangely when I then played the Rescue Tratos mission the bridge was OK (a different bridge was destroyed) and it was easy to complete the mission.
So two questions, has anyone else noticed this rather bizarre situation and has anyone ever finished the version of the level with the broken bridge by the mini base since I think it is impossible!
I also got stuck in the Destroy The Radar Arrays mission before because every time I tried to destroy an array a large force of enemy soldiers would attack and destroy every soldier I had. That was until I discovered that if you destroy the southerly array with just machine gun fire the enemy don't come out of the base and the level is easily finished. Weird.
Are there any other strange inconsistensies in the game?
