Crysis – Problem rescuing archeologist hostage from school.

I am in the process of reviewing Crysis, time is always an issue.  First love the game.  Is it the best shooter of all time?  For me, no, it is close but not the best.  But still a lot of fun.  Anyway about the problem I had with one of the levels.

I had a problem on the level where you must rescuing archeologist hostage from school.  I found the hostage and my partner that was to escort her out, problem is they just stood there and did nothing.  I went through the whole map killing everything to see if there was something I missed.  NOPE.

So here is what you need to do:

When you get to the village, cross over the bridge at the far end.  It is well guarded but this seems to be a trigger point.  DO NOT rescue the hostage, yet.  Wait on going anywhere near the school.  There are few mission updates that need to happen.   Go to the middle building that looks like a political office (flags out front).  You will be told to do this, before you go in.  Go in near computer on first floor, hear another update, then go the second floor and look near computer (there is nothing there, but there seems to be an invisible trigger at that point)  That is where I was finally told again to go get the hostage in the school.   As soon as you rescue the hostage, you should be told to go up into the woods.  If this doesn’t happen, restart the level form the beginning (it is an option in your menu screen), don’t waste your time looking around.

You never see the girl and your partner come out of the room, so don’t wait.  When you get the mission up date to move into the woods just go.  And hang on to your hat, cuz you are in for a fire fight or flight.

Hope this helps!
