Cannon Fodder 2

[Raven]

Mission 3 Phase 3
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!

[Tim Janssen]

For me, lack of any gameplaying skills + a dirty/ broken mouse makes Cannon Fodder 2 an unplayble game.
I never was good at the original Fodder but in 2 you're really thrown into the deep. I have serious trouble finishing the levels where you first encounter the flying saucers.

[Amigaboy]

I remember my bro finished the original. It took him soo long

[Steve]

I'm a bit of a Cannon Fodder God. I completed all 25 levels of the first game and the same with the second. I found mission 8 on the first to be one of the hardest. As for CF2 that is solid. Especially the alien levels. I really hated them. If mission 3 is the one I'm thinking of it's incredibly hard and took me weeks to finish. It's an alien level and you have only enough grenades and rockets to complete the mission. I think. The best levels were on the first game. Shooting the sheep and hearing farmers saying "get off moi laand".

LOL.

[Akira]

Hey, in which level do farmers yell 'get off moi land'? That would be hilarious :D I never heard it!

[Fred the Fop]

I heard that one of the Cannon Fodders cannot be saved using emulators. Is this true?

[oldpx]

I also heard that creating a custom floppy in WinUAE and formatting it within the game should work. I did not try this yet.

[Fred the Fop]

If anyone has a problem saving it, they should try installing it,, as I have:)

[Shatterhand]

Actually, AFAIK, both Cannon Fodders don't save in emulators..

That's why I play the SNES version (emulated), as I can save in that one, and if you use a mouse, the game is nearly 100% identical to the Amiga version (Cannon Fodder is the only Amiga game that Sensible converted properly to other machines... they messed up the ball routines really bad in the other versions of Sensible Soccer and Sensible Golf )

[MethodGit]

There were other versions of Sensi Golf besides the Amiga & PC versions? :shocked

I know there were Mega Drive, Mega CD and Master System (was it on Game Gear as well?) versions of Sensi Soccer, but I don't remember any Nintendo versions of the game...

[Steve]

I don't know about Cannon Fodder 2 under WinUAE but I'm able to save the game on the first Cannon Fodder using a custom disk created with WinUAE 0.8.14 and 0.8.16.

[Steve]

I think the farm levels on Cannon Fodder 1 are around about the middle levels of the game. Something like Mission 10 onwards. They're pretty funny. Shooting sheep and running over farmers with tanks. Some of the farmers have shotguns though. It's worth playing it just to see the farmer levels. Lol.

[Fred the Fop]

As I said before, the saving issues will made moot and redundant IF..IF the next release of WinUAE or WinFellow include save state like every other go damn emu has:cool

[Ian]

You can save using the ADF version if you use the latest WinFellow, but NOT WinUAE.

However as Fred said if you use the WHDLoad/JST version it saves to HD so no problems with that in either emu.

BTW there already IS a save state emu written by the Doctor Who lovin' §ane it uses the 0.8.14r4 source code so at least it will be semi-usable:)

Sadly like all §ane's special version of WinUAE, I don't know where you can get it from:(

[Shatterhand]

Actually, there's no Sensi Golf to consoles, just Amiga & PC.. I was talking just about the PC version.. it SUCKS.. BAD...

I would've thought asking sane himself would be a nice way of getting them

[§ane]

I coded a state saver? :nervous

No, i haven't, i was going to but was told not to as it was already being worked on by someone else and will be included in the next WinUAE release apparently..

BTW, i'll probably be releasing WinUAE-AVI ;-) later today..

[Fred the Fop]

That's good news, Sane. (Hope I spelt your name correctly;))
You are an asset to the gaming community, and appreciated.
The save state option in WinUAE is long overdue. One other thing. WinFellow..do you care for it?

Erm IanCharge you are completely WRONG. You CAN save the game AND load the saved game on Cannon Fodder. How do I know this, because I was playing it last night! All you have to do is use a custom disk created using WinUAE. If you don't believe me I'll even post my save disk in the ADF-Zone! I haven't tried saving CF2 but I completely expect that to work too.

You are both right.

I just did what Burseg suggested and it works great with WinUAE 0.9.92

Only worked for me when I formatted the file within the game though
With the custom file alone CF didn't even see the "Disk" in my version.

I just had a thought though for those who have problems.

Could it be that the ADF file on your HD is tagged as read only
this could be what's stopping it being written.

P.S. love the forum.

[Medvind]

Oh man, those alien levels is where I threw in the towel. Have to get back in the action someday when I have less temper :)

I'll download that guide. Good work dlfrsilver!

[Leki]

i think i played the cannon fodder demos too much before player the full game as i never found it that hard.....i think the best i did was on cannon fodder 2 when i got to mission 19 with only 3 guys dieing throughout the whole game. Couldn't start mission 20 though as the game crashed when it got the the hill....maybe cos i had so many guys available for recruiting waiting at the hill hehe. so had to start again but this time made sure more of my guys got killed before i finished the game :)

nice guide dlfrsilver...mind if i put it on my site?

http://www.lekispage.com

[wizard66]

Hi,

In this version of cannonFodder : CannonFodder2WHD18.lzx you can not save a game.
First make a dir in the root caled SAVE and then you can save your game in play, no .adf needed just saves to hd..:D

luck to you !!!

[Leki]

@lpopman

opps....this has now been fixed....thanks.

[redblade]

I'm a bit of a Cannon Fodder God. I completed all 25 levels of the first game and the same with the second. I found mission 8 on the first to be one of the hardest.


Mission 8, Phase 2, on the First 1, is the hardest, I couldn't get past that level, My men used to start dropping like flies on that one. You had to keep running and shooting, and then get in the middle to get the tank, and then blow up all the concrete buildings. Really hard.

Especially because that 'jools' cheat in save game mode, didn't do shit, oh yay, a high ranking, pffffft.

[dlfrsilver]

hum well you talk about the mission where there's a turret in the middle,
and where you have to kill a bunch of bazooks ?

Well check the documented map to know how to do it ! :D

a lot of people say that phase is the hardest.....it not too hard when you have tactics. i used something like the route dlfrsilver posted on that pic....you just have to take out all bazooka guys out first with 1 man....leave the rest at the top.....then when you have taken out the bazooka guys you can run to the bottom left of the map and lure as many ememys to the bottom left (there can only be something like 32 sprites on a map at once) then switch to your guys at the top right and quickly make them run to the turret in the middle....if no ememy is around the top right then switch back to the guy at the bottom left as the ememy mainly goes for the guy your are in control of. then swtich back to your guys who should be just about to get into the turret and once one of your guys is in quickly fire at all the doors a few times and then mop up the rest of the enemy :)

you shouldn't need to cheat but if you do the jools cheat it will make your guys shoot further....higher the rank the further they can shoot......cheating is for n00bs though ;)

[redblade]

yep thats the mission, cheers fullahs, now I'll be able to get further and actually get to the vehicles :)
