Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

I still can't do mission 11.... Can't for the live of me secure the naval base...

Driving me nuts! Will try a different tactic tonight, so far I have been going round the back of it as the game suggests, but in all honesty, I think I will sit on the cliff facing the sea and just pick off targets from there.

I found that mission a complete letdown, incredibly easy!

I just flew in on the chopper, landed it on the north of the harbor and killed the few soldiers there - mission over. I was surprised it ended as I'd only killed maybe 6 soldiers.

Probably a bug then, I have done the same... but the harbour is FULL of them inc a tank and a general you have to leave alive for a secondary objective :(

Are there any missions where you get to play with an M82 / M107 ? I was looking forward to some .50 cal sniping fun in the single player experience.

I did have a few other goes mostly due to my poor helicopter skills and the ineptitude of my squad, I never once saw any kind of armour there at all and I've made enough fly bys of that base :p

I did try approaching from the cliffs and picked off loads of soldiers coming out of the spot where the General is then my squad decided the couldn't get down and wandered off into the hills and got killed, clowns.
 
Just putting out feelers again for anyone wanting to play hardcore co-op tonight from around 7 for a couple of hours - til around 9/9:30. Do want to complete the campaign once on hardcore before trading in, and don't want to do it single player.

Edit: Will be continuing on from mission 4. Almost got the airfield yesterday - finished all the objectives but then got killed :(

Yea, think 8/9 one of them is a sniper mission at night...

No day time sniper missions which annoyed me, would have really shown off their draw distance if there was.

Sorry some of you bought it and aren't digging it. For me its the best XBOX live experience I've ever had with my mates (on coop hardcore) and I absolutely love it. Can totally understand all of the reasons why people dislike it though. Its very buggy, and does have an unfinished feel to it.

It would be nice if it didn't exclude me from Live Co-op because Im using a wireless connection on the 360

I probably would like it if I had the opportunity to do co-op

I doubt it's because you're on wireless, is your NAT restricted?
 
Just wan't to give you console players a heads up about something. This isn't a "oh look at me on my pc" post! I'm aware that most ppl on OcUK run both consoles and PC rigs so figured I'd give you a low down on the editor for this game.

It is simply superb! I'm used to making missions in OFP and recently Arma2 and the editor in DR is far superior. I've already make a pretty fun co-op mission with respawning where you simply have to defend a hill against lots of enemies trying to reach the top. I've enabled JDAM support and it's an automatic loss if the enemy get to the top.

Just thought I'd let you know about this because if you're digging this game on the console and also own a good PC then I'd recommend you check it out some time if you feel you're getting bored of the campaign mode.
 
Has anyone used the IR strobes properly yet? I've thrown them around for fun but obviously there is no point marking positions for friendly aircraft etc in singleplayer!

Not really played multiplayer yet so I don't even know what kind of vehicles you get.

Right - I've done a bit of googling, and apparently there is an ammo dump on the west coast of the 1st mission map map about halfway up near a lighthouse. Apparently there is a .50 in this ammo pile which makes the 1st mission a little more entertaining.

Can anyone confirm ?

This sounds really good, can you share maps or co-op with the maps on PC (I have it on PC, but sneaked into this thread ;))

I was/will be playing through on hardcore the moment I complete this game, the one thing that worries me is I would much rather have the option to wonder off, but as said before, some missions are time limited...

Very annoying :(

Yep it's there alright, played the mission again on co-op last night and the rifle is great fun! Also near the lighthouse there is an outpost (looks like a ruined castle spire) that has an ammo box holding an M16 and M4, both are pretty good fun :)
 
Yea I can't seem to get that to work by myself, I need someone who knows about networking to take me through it.
