13 years agoBombing Run mission
So I got this mission for the second time now, but I have no clue what to do. A terrorist threatens with a bomb if I don't pay one million $. I am not given a choice and I have to plop a detective wi...
I already had the detective add-on. It seemed to work automatically; the bomb was found. I don't know if it mattered, but I also deployed Maxis Man.
I have to say, though, I don't know when this mission was programmed into the game, but I didn't see it until after the 2.0 update. It seems to be in poor taste to have this in the game, especially after Boston. Had the Boston bombing not happened, I still would have felt that this was a worthless addition. I'm sure they could have come up with a better option for a timed mission, like something to do with the hazmat truck.
I guess you haven't played many of Maxis' previous games. The bomb mission has been around for a very long time. This little known game called SimTower is the first one I remember seeing it in. There was a bomb threat against your tower, and you only had a few minutes to find the bomb. Well, your security teams only had a few minutes.
I just saw this mission tonight for the first time, hopped on here to find out if there was anything that I needed to do personally, or if it was like previous missions in this vein.
PS, if your detectives fail to find the bomb, something does blow up. You will have a few fires to contend with.
