I think that is by design. Happens for me too - actually, I think for most anybody, as it would certainly explain the huge amount of times I get TK'd :D

It only happens for me when looking at squad leaders - peons show up immediately. Maybe that's one of the 'perks' of being an officer - people kill you more?

Which ones in particular? I've just stuck with the M249, but if there are a couple worth unlocking attachments for..

M249 is a beast, I recommend it and the Type-88 as excellent options. (best with bipod and medium range though). If you're more run-and-gun I think one of the magazine-loaders (rather than belt fed) has an absurd rate of fire and is worth getting the RDS/foregrip/compensator setup going on.
 
so completed the singleplayer (on hard ;) ooorah! ) and well.... meh......meh about sums it up. Was farrrrrrr too easy, not to say I didn't die but when I did it was usually because I got too cocky and just ran out giving it hell....or the damn game being buggy!!!

on the part where you have to hit the havoc, that's gunning our jeep, with the m320... I had to do that about 6 times because even though the damn heli fills up the screen...unless I aimed almost above the thing the shell just missed?! insane drop off after 2 ft apparently....or something.....

also another part where you have to "take out helis" before the troops deploy....I hid one transport with 6 stingers I think to take it down....like seriously game......WTF?! it's not like the npcs are all engineers ;)

that being said there were some fun parts and I enjoyed the mix up of environments. found myself rocking the starting scar all the way through pretty much and carring the 1 shot sniper as my secondary.....life was easy!

parts when you were supposed to be stealthy didn't turn out so stealthy as rather than holding Q to bring up that PLD/scanner/binos/whatevs. I would just press it....ordering everything to attack when really I just wanted to spot everything.... all worked out in the end haha!

Storyline....meh....not really sure what was going on, had to rescue some asian chic and her husband, suddenly china is attacking everyone, **** gets real, run around in circles, chinese find out the dude is alive and everything is hunkybruster. didn;t really think that much was explained which is poor in my opinion as I love to get involved and i goot story line. ( I LOVE METAL GEAR SOLID! big, complex, detailed story....but they explain **** so simple joe can follow (not you raider ;) ) )

Wasn't any real character development either. The black dude couldn't make up his mind between badass who's gunna bring the rain and tree hugger humanitarian with leadership issues.


so just going to go on about some other issues with it. the AI is dumb as ****. friendly and enemy. the friendlies love to sit back and chill while you push on like a demon possessed and heaven forbid they do push up with you because if you are in their spot for cover they will happily shove you out from cover into direct fire.....*****s. enemies are super easy to flank, found myself having to run back towards my team to take out guys they didn't kill. event triggers, even though I've wiped out the whole army and waiting for my fat ass team to catchup, when we're all waiting by the door...I still have to go behind them a few steps then go forwards again then the game realises "oh, good. you're actually here now....let's continue on."

also possible SPOILER but, the dude who lost his leg (you have to knife through)....why was his leg stuck in the car as it was sinking? THERE WAS NO LEG?!?!?! :p I think, pretty sure him losing a leg was prior to the car sinking so yea... sorry but no, you lost your leg.... stop pretending it's still there :p


not to mention that it only took me about 3 hours....then a forced 15-20 mins of damn credits! giant list of people to be fired more like! I just saw loads of "QA" (i assume quality assurance? )...they need to go first!

and my final grumble! so after semi wasting my time completing the SP, the game now tells me that i've only got 3 or 4 (depends which UI page looking at) of the assignments from the single player (despite having a gold/expert score for each chapter) and it hasn;t given me my dam m249!!! the thing that was to be the saving grace!!! :(

TL DR : story, meh. characters, meh. levels, not bad. bugs, annoying. "the final choice" meh...what ever....zero ****s were given who took it :p

lol..of course not, I've just been lucky enough not to experience client crashes.

I had a few servers crash on me when the game first came out.....but the client crash ive been lucky to avoid so far, which is why I wondered if it was system specific...i.e AMD over Nvidia users....or if its completely random.
 
the single player was a scripted mess. people knock cod but the way the soldiers attacked and the scenes scripted together it kinda highlights what games are doing wrong.

they trying to make them into films ! i want to play freely and not be constrained to a rail with big bangs along the way.

single player would get 3/10 and thats only cause some things look decent graphically.

M249 unlocks from one of the three possible endings.

Give the explosives to Irish, give the explosives to Hannah; don't give them to either and watch your ship explode - I think Hannah gets you the P90, Irish gets you something forgettable (possibly an assault rifle?), and the M249 is for letting the ship explode

You have to do the entire final level 3 times to get all the unlocks. Mine took about 12h to register (I too thought I'd been gypped out of my medals unlocks, but it was just very slow).

I definitely agree about the magic spotting goggles - who thought that the "attack" and "spot" commands should effectively be swapped between MP and SP?

Its been completely random for me and definitely isn't system specific as I've tried it over and seen it played on a variety of systems with the same crashing.

I actually didn't see any crashes at all for the first few days when tons of people were complaining about it - then out the blue I wasn't even able to get into a game without crashing for several hours, etc. it seems to come and go for no particular reason.

ahhhhh thanks mocking bird! looks like I'm letting some stuff blow up tonight...gunna be a pain though! doing that last mission for the ending just to sit through credits again lol

Once the credits start and the "achievement unlocked" popup thing happens you can press escape and -> restart level. Unfortunately it happens just ATFER the "most recent checkpoint" updates to be the credits.

How bizzarre.....whats the betting I get home now fire it up and it crashes on me! :D
 
More and more I keep getting stuck once I get revived, my screen still plays all the action but I cannot revive and have to wait for the round to end. Then the game restarts without issue.

Anyone else had this?

lol esc did nothing on the credits for me! wanted to alt-f4 but thought against it incase I didn't get unlocks... I'll have to check I unlocked the p-90 now.


edit - yep p-90 unlocked so i'll try the other two endings tonight :)

I've had it once when I was trying to edit my loadout at the time the revive was delivered - I assumed this was what caused it. Couldn't get out at all - not even escape to menu. Tried console but couldn't find a command for "accept revive" or "suicide".

Edit: just checked about the M249 unlock
You get it by giving the C4 to Irish apparently.

Is there an issues listed by EA that they are working on to address?

So far i get:
Some servers i cannot connect to while other can join them fine.
Some servers when i spawn i can only use a pistol, when i try to switch weapons i have nothing, this used to be a lag thing and after 15-20secs i would get my weapons.
Sound - frequently losing all sound, when im in a plane or heli i cant hear missiles lock and end up getting shot down

Grrrrrrr this game is annoying!

Oh I can escape to menu, tweak my loadout, review all my lovely battlepacks etc.. just can't get back in the game. It happened probably at least 3-4 times yesterday. It's not a huge issue because I don't lose my points etc... but if I'm on a 1k ticket map it does grate me mildly :)

I've been trying to get into recon, but I suck at sniping (and therefore feel I'm wasting a slot in any given team)
Click to expand...

if you want to go sniping use the pld to spot, even if your not quite on with the sniping it will help the team out.

also, move with the squad, hanging back a bit to cover them, spot as they move on a flag and provide a safe spawn point if they get taken out.
