This is Soooooooo Difficult!
I can probably do it but I can't get Past those Pesky Snipers! and I can't Kill them.

What I did was take my car or truck, and drive down to where the snipers are at. Go past, and then drive down to that small building you can get inside.

There is a guy with a rifle in there. Kill him and take it.

Then, get back in your car, and get up near the train cars that you have to release later on.

You should be able to see 3 large white powder kegs loaded on a platform behind the crates.

Use your rifle to shoot the powder keg, and the explosion will kill both men by the crates with thompsons.

You can then either use the rifle to pick off the snipers, or you can get close and use a thompson to take them out.

Yeah well I didn't realise that and by the time I got in the hideout I'm down to 20 health and now I'm stuck because I can't get passed all the guys

I hate that and I haven't tried to see if there's any way to change that. Can I start the whole mission over? I wasted all my ammo shooting Morello's car before he got to the dock, so I'm facing armed guys with my fists...

But ammo is not as bad as health...are there anyways to bypass that? How many of those health packs have you foundin the entire game world?

I did that once, that is how I started using the car.

From the very beginning, as soon as you get control, get back in the car and start running the guys over. Theres only a few to start with.

Then when youve cleared out all but one or so, you can get out and grab a shotgun that they drop.

Get back in your car and use the shotgun to shoot people from the car. The shotgun has a longer, more lethal and more accurate range from the car, and can kill most guys in only one shot.

If your car gets beat up, there is also a truck there that you can take.

When you get down to the train cars you have to release, there is a shack down there as well, with a guy carrying a rifle inside. Drive up to the door, and shoot him with a shotgun through the window.

Once he is dead, go inside, and go through the back room, and you will find a health pack in there.

Go back outside, use the rifle to shoot the powder kegs, and it will kill the guys with the thompsons. Then you just run up there and grab the thompsons for a full load of ammo, and pretty good health.

Hope that helps. That mission took me a while when I started it with no ammo, shooting at Morello's car thinking that I was supposed to kill him before he got away.

If you cant do it, you may have to re-start the mission. This is a pain, because you have to do it ALL over again. The failed restaraunt hit, the failed car bomb, the thompson jamming up on Paulie in the parking lot, and then finally back to chasing him down after the failed hit at the railroad crossing.

If you do resort to doing it over, it will be a lot easier at the end when you have all the ammo back that you wasted before shooting at the car, because running them over works, but they can still shoot you while you are in the car. Sometimes it takes doing it over a few times before you can perfect the perfect run through hitting them with the car and keeping your life from going down too far. Starting this part with guns is a bigtime plus.

When you're fighting the first crane sniper (I assume everybody around the train yard, entrance, and barn-esque building has been taken care of), zig-zag to the planks closest to the crane. You can use this as cover. Use your .45 (I find it packs a lot of power) and spend a full clip if needed. If you need health, go to the rail station and use the box.

Before you fight the second sniper, there is a guy with a tommy nearby in the crates. Pop him then run to the sniper and pop him as well. Pick up the gun and the rest of the mission shouldn't be too hard.
