Gringo was posed with an awesome challenge: How does one convert a world war
2 German bunker into a 1820's Mexican fortress.... And... How to you remake
the original and probably the most popular map of RtCW?
Well for starters, the rolls of barbed wire on the beach and along the wall
has been replaced with cactuses and sharp wooden spikes (ouch), the anti
tank blocks are now boulders, and the trenches are flooded. He's also done a
wonderful job of re-skinning the entire fortress in a western flair. I was
totally shocked and awed when I saw the early versions of this map, for I
though it couldn't be done. He's made some minor changes (the back stairs
are now a cave with climbable walls and a large pool at the bottom of it.
He's also set the beach map at night (a logical assault time for the crafty
cowboys.) Tactics Cowboys:
First goal is to blow you way through the fortress wall by placing dynamite
at the 2 weekend wall positions: forward door and weakened wall. Beware of
the bandits at the wall's murder holes. Next you must sneak into the lower
regions of the fortress and steal the gold. You must then bring it back up
and make you're way to the waiting mine cart to whisk yourself away to
freedom. There are 2 routes into the lower caves of the bandit fortress and
3 routes to the store room where the gold is held. As in the original Beach
map, teamwork will win the day. Tactics Bandits:
Hold the fortress wall. They will be trying to blow the 2 weak points but
they may also try to sneak over if they are crafty enough. Once the wall is
breached you must defend the gold in the store room. There are many ways to
ambush the cowboys on their way in. If they get the gold you must cover the
escape route: El carrito de escape (the old radio room) at all costs.
Objective Mode:
Gain access into the Bandit Fortress by blowing the front door.
Or by blowing the weakened part of the Fortress Wall
Storm the store room in the lower caves of the Bandit Fortress and steal
the Gold
Make you way to the mine cart and make you're escape.
Hold the front bunker flag to respawn there.
