I must have two left feet! Why am I failing the obstacle course in the Training mission?

Well you could be one heck of a klutz, or you're not doing it correctly or it might be a mission bug. Let's first make sure you know what to do:

  1. Run through the maze.
  2. Run over the wooden plank bridge.
  3. Go prone and crawl under the wires.
  4. Run behind the two stone markers and return back between them to your commander.

Sounds easy enough, no? Well here are a few more tips from Ondrej Spanel, BIS' lead programmer:

  1. Listen to what your commander says. Sometimes he yells at you various remarks.
  2. There should be a confirmation hint, "Passed", displayed in the top left screen corner each time you pass each obstacle in the course. Do not proceed to the next obstacle unless you passed the previous one.
  3. If everything else fails, retry the Training mission again. Some users reported the scripting in this mission is not behaving correctly in certain situations and if you don't pass the obstacles fast enough, the mission scripting may may incorrectly cause you to remain stuck and never let you pass the mission. This should not be very common, but it might happen.

War is hell!
