* Cautions & Caveats *

This is essentially the same mission, but from three different viewpoints,
with different clues, adversaries, equipment, and goals.
It is highly recommended to play all three variants in order
- if you jump to Expert, you will miss 2/3 of the mission.

These missions may stress system resources for some players. If any of the AI get stuck on their
patrols, it will not necessarily break the mission, and often a save and reload will resolve
the problem. My apologies for the inconvenience.

On Hard and Expert, just sit back and enjoy the show in the Ballroom. Seriously, there are
at least 22 different conversations going on there, and if you save, or check
your Objectives, or even sneeze forcefully, something is bound to get out of synch.

To support the plot, ghosting is needed on Normal difficulty, and meaningless on Hard and Expert.
But ghosting this mission is not all that difficult. Honest.

Dies ist im Grunde ein- und dieselbe FM, nur aus drei verschiedenen Blickwinkeln,
mit verschiedenen Hinweisen, Gegnern, Ausr?stungen und Zielen.
Es ist ratsam, diese drei in der Reihenfloge zu spielen.
- Spielt man gleich und nur als Experte, vers?umt man 2/3 der FM.

In einigen F?llen k?nnten die Systemresourcen arg strapaziert werden. Sollten KIs h?ngenbleiben,
so l??t das die Mission nicht scheitern, meist schafft speichern und zur?ckladen
Abhilfe. Verzeihung f?r solche Unannehmlichkeiten.

Auf Hart und Experte lehnt euch zur?ck und genie?t die Szene im Ballsaal. Im Ernst, dort laufen
nicht weniger als 22 Konversationen ab, und jede Sicherung, jedes Nachschauen bei den
Missionszielen, ja sogar ein kr?ftiger Nieser k?nnte das Schauspiel ernstlich st?ren!

Um die Handlung zu unterstreichen, ist das Ghosten auf Normal erforderlich, auf Hart und Expert
dagegen nicht. Aber das Ghosten dieser Mission ist nicht allzu schwer, ehrlich!

Difficulty Info : Normal is from the viewpoint of Garrett.

Expert is from the viewpoint of U. N. Owen. But he's dead, so that's a pickle.
