The second one involved racing back and forth across a temple complex to shoot mostly undefended bomb-planters in the back (often with seconds to spare), or simply run up and do a knife takedown. The enemy attackers were not at all coordinated in support of the bomb-planters, but arrived in waves, ran about, and directed fire at me opportunistically, mostly missing (though I did use several health shots). If just two or three planted themselves behind cover and laid down a raking fire, they could have had a perfect kill zone and prevented me from criss-crossing the complex to attack their bombers.<br /><br /> FC3 showed a progression in enemy tactical sophistication, and I'm hoping that will be the case with 4.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42251.61&return_msg=42251.61" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42251.61"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42251_62"></a><div class="message" id="message_42251_62"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">14 Dec 2018 20:59</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 15 Dec 2018 00:19"></span></span> <span class="message_count">62 of 211</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.62">42251.62</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.61#a42251_61" target="_self">42251.61</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I've just done the temple defense mission, I took a slightly different tack.

Pretty much everything set on fire and the game lets you fire grenades at the people setting the bombs next to the sculptures you're defending.
