So I just finished the game on Hardcore (first run through, non of this pansy playing through on normal first so you know what to do)


And I have to say I really enjoyed the game, sure some bits are kinda hard and frustrating  (read mission 3) and their are some bugs (enemies not dying from multiple hits and the Ai on your side being silly) but generally it was great



I really enjoyed the last level. I lost everyone to the AAA so i did the rest by myself and i tell you what it really added to the final assault sniping all the enemies and knowing one shot would mean i'd wasted an hour.

So yeh, generally a great game, stop the hate

Love the game, hate the frustration of respawning right back at the beginning every time I die :(

Could anyone answer one question for me? On the last mission, at the naval base, do the enemy constantly respawn or is there a finite amount of the buggers? I get frustrated sniping from the hill at what seem to be respawning enemies, so I end up running down into the mess, chasing checkpoints and getting peppered.
Thanks.

finite, i stayed up on the hill and sniped them all including the general (criminal trials take ages, direct verdict :)) I was tempted to go down but every now and again someone would come out of a building and start shooting, and when you have no check points you cant afford to die

I don't suppose you have any tips for completing mission 3 on hardcore solo? I gave up temporarily after dying 13+ times.

Purge the Weak!
Constantly Test the Strong!

took ages, you need things to go your way, basically do the first bit up to the mortars, them get in an APC, if it doesn't have HE rounds start again. When you finally get HE rounds take it, drive it up the hill then take out the spotters, from there pick people off from range with a marksman weapon you've picked up / long range HE rounds (they are devasting and you have a thermal sight), when you have cleared the village park the apc up facing south (i think, which ever way you are told), assign your men to the fixed machine guns around the village. Hopefully with HE rounds and a thermal sight you should be able to take people out at 400m so the anti tank guys can never kill your apc and the explosives havea great splash so you can cope with all the guys trying to flank to your right. This should all work but if somehow they break through your gonna have to drive around and take up posistions but hopefully it will all go well. I got to this point and a jeep single shotted me from 600m away while i was in the APC even though i was smacking it with HE rounds. That was annoying

I will give this a try, though I'm usually a rocket magnet when in the APC.
