Swoop I'd love to join you in some long missions, provided I can get the modem on MY compooter fixed and provided my ISP holds out. I'd love to be a HIND pilot (if we played ruskies) or a CH47 or UH60 pilot. I also like driving trucks and tanks.....and sometimes infantry is the only way to go. Man this game rocks!

PS I'm sending an email after I post this.

Just got it too.

The mission where you stop the convoy with sachel charges and snipe the troops is the funnest 1 hour in gaming I've had except for Ghost Recon COOP most times and of course many AH online fights.

Bought another computer and hooking up upgraded DSL just to run servers.

Swoop,

Put some jeeps etc near the spawn point so ded guys can catch up to the rest of the group.

Noticed this while on gamespy the other night. Tough rejoining game if you killed off.

That sachel charge mission is a blast. I kept trying to snipe the turrent crew of the tank while my support axed the rest of the vehilces with LAWS. Then I would try to demo charge the T80. Took me quite a while to realize I could daisy chain the t80. Then a bit longer to realize I could get all three of the demos to take out the whole gang at once.
great mission. My joystick is not working right though and Im having trouble with the cobra mission.

hah,

that sniper mission is a blast

i didnt even call in bravo team the 1st time until after i killed the convoy and then sniped all those guys who came as backup. bravo came in and waxed the bmp and we advanced on the town

called charlie in to come from the other side and both teams pinched while i played hero with the rifle.

soooooooo much fun
edit: told ya you'd like it pongo

I almost got this the other day, but stopped. I have a few questions. How many people can play it online smoothly? Are the frame rates better than they were in the demo? Smooth online game play?

I had fun with the demo, but if I'm paying I want to play with real people not AI. I looked forward to the game, but have heard bad things about the multiplayer side. Did they patch it and make it better?

thnx

Need pretty good pings (even with 1.30/dedicated servers) to play a good multiplayer game.

Not sure 'bout multiplayer Undies, I actually play OFP for single player because it's so damn good in that aspect.

I spend all the multiplayer with Ghost Recon cuz I don't like single player as well with that and it's is so fekin good and smooth.

In regards to that convoy mission, I never could get all the vehicles at once. Interesting to hear how others did. I set the tree sachels spaced out using the telephone poles as refrence, and hauled bellybutton up the hill. I detonate them and then call in Bravo, but it always left that tank. So I'd kill the entire camp, go pick up a rocket launcher (GR needs that pick-up feature badly) and go back to kill the tank. Fun.

The game isnt about the campaign. The single player campaign should be renamed "basic training".

The game is the mission editor.

I was able to get all 4 with the demo charges. But I always ran back and hid along along the water. I once had the second bmp try to climb the hill to flank the ambush and then turn arround and wade out into the water. I killed the rpg gunner and sniped the floating BMP with that..
How do you drop a rocket launcher when you dont want it any more?

Pongo you can't drop it directly. However you can pick up a PK or M60 (which drops your rifle and the launcher) and then pick up your rifle again
