I'm gonna be upset if GameFly doesn't send me Brutal Legend tomorrow. I got skipped both Op Flash and Magna Carta 2, even though I'm sure I've had both listed longer than most people.
I'd give OpFlash a shot but there's already like a bajillion games I have to get this month.
Tell me about it. I even emailed them about it, but got a 'suck it up and rent something else' kind of reply.

Whelp, I'm kinda agitated.
That reply won't really work in my situation because, hey, I've tried renting some other shit too and they refused to send it to me.
Got ODST about a week later than usual. Op Flash, Magna Carta 2, and Brutal Legend just skipped over me.
I re-started it specifically so I didn't have to buy this game, Dragon Age, Alpha Protocol, and Borderlands. I mean that's 2 hundo plus right there. But if they aren't gonna ship me any of those, and I'm instead playing Godfather II, what's the frikkin point?
Apparently calling in a mortar strike on a target doesn't flag it as completed. So now I'm sitting here with a primary objective blown to shit by mortars and no way to continue.
Did they do any QA on this shit?
Which mission/objective? I mortared every objective I could because it's cool...didn't have problems.
This sounds like the mission i keep failing at as well. all my dudes keep running into a pile of enemies and getting mowed down, and by myself i cant take on like 15 enemy soldiers without getting shot in the face.

I'm re did the first mission last night and spent around 2-3 hours on it. This was on normal. I only died twice! (This is fantastic in my book). I also killed a member of Saber team 3, had no idea it was one of the boys running in from the hills from the the other side of the village/town/hamlet/port. I was so proud of the fact that I'd headshotted the guy and then a split second later I get the 'WATCH YOUR FIRE! FRIENDLIES!' call on the radion. Bastards.
So yeah, there are a lot of faults with the game but I guess it's like STALKER, when it works, it works really good. And fuck that APC at the North end of the island. (I never completed the secondary objectves before).

Did you have any luck with the 3rd mission? I've attempted the damn village defense about 15 times.
I am ready to give up
Also, maybe I am completely stupid, But this game could have really used a proper tutorial ( a boot camp, etc). I've never felt so completely lost in a console game in a very long time.
Point at the two machine guns and have two of your guys man them. Than keep the other two dudes with you towards the center of the village and move to hotspots accordingly. Until I got my guys on the MG's I couldn't do much but they will keep the PLA pinned and kill a few making your job much easier. Use the map to get your men to engage threats as well.
One thing im not liking about this game is no missions for pilots or tanks or any of that cool stuff, although theres an achievement for finding the chopper and flying it in the first mission. In the second mission a PLA attack helo landed near my position and I killed the pilots but couldn't fly it. Damn.
Yeah I did (although I could never get my guys to use the mounted weapon...).
I restarted the mission and hijacked one of the APC's and took it out of harms way while I killed the AT teams. Then I went back and got the APC and continued to use it for the duration of the mission, including the village defense.
The Mk19 grenade launcher made easy work of the PLA. :winky:
Defending that village was a fuck of a time. Took me a million damn tries because my team would NOT take cover, EVER. Eventually I just took everyone planted them in the middle of the village and let them do their thing. I won by accident.
I played co-op online with randoms and got teamed up with some really compitent people and the game became 700% more fun to play.
I'm hoping to do some of this soon. In fact I just got a headset for my PS3 so I might try tonight, but I'll hopefully have the 360 version soon to play with the other PA 360 folks.

Really? I don't recall that bit.
A few times though I found it better to just restart it from the beginning.
So have many of you tried co-op yet? I played 1 game for a little while the other night, but no one was really talking, which sort of ruined it for me.
Ah I know this part.
It's the attack chopper killing him.
There's two anti air units on a hill with two machine gunners at the base of the hill.
I flanked around left and went up the back of the hill only encountering a couple of enemies near the top.
Proned my way close enough to call the motar strike on the anti air and picked of the straglers at the bottom of the hill from up top.
I was under the impression this was more of a 'sandbox' game.
I know on some missions the helicopters actually land (enemy heli's I mean) and the passengers all get off, I'm assuming the pilot exits too as the chopper just sits there. You could, in theory, kill the soldiers and then take the chopper..... Never tried it as I tend to use the sissy approach of running the other way every time a red marker appears on the compass.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the AI is pretty stupid (I refuse to acknowledge that goddamn stealth mission). well this guy looked through the AI scripts and found that the AI's vision distance and accuracy have been nerfed by CM. He made a couple of mods. Hardcore, semi-hardcore and improved accuracy. the improved accuracy dosent affect the enemies view distances but improves their accuracy. the other 2 also improve their view distance.
Well that's your problem right there. Your CPU and RAM should meet or exceed the needs of any game, but your graphics card is two generations behind, going on three.
I appreciate the amount of control if gives you over your underlings. Vehicle commanding seems to be a nightmare, though.

Operation Flashpoint 1? Yes, it and its expansions all have cd keys. They'd be in the manual if they're present.

Meanwhile, I'm still having fun with ARMA 2.
