You know why that mission sucked? Its not the mission itself. The server was almost full, but only one other dude what on discord and he had his mic muted. With hostage rescue its critical to communicate vis voicechat.

this mission is definitely possiblewithout smoke, but we had some lone wolf guy in it and a bit of bad luck... other than that this mission is nice and can be done really fast afairemember

Those who were present probably agree with what I'm talking about. I am sure solution would have been found in couple more tries. And yes I think using smoke is a hack. Smoke is not valid answer. Although it was only thing that was working and giving results. Either way that whole backyard area is complete hellhole. If someone has footage about completing that thingy without using hacks please send me a link.
