Fired it up late last night, looks epic but not played yet. Managed 30 minutes designing my ghost before I fell asleep hehe

I have been trying to get the green side missions and I note if you keep going for the same convoy the content seems to change.

When you fast travel the convoy resets to a pre determined location too. My problem is I can't seem to get the bad guys out of the picture without destroying the vehicles at which point the points become half what they were.

Considering how long open world games have been about with aircraft, etc it's surprising that some developers still can't get it right!

Played a bit over the weekend. As someone mentioned I believe the AI are invisible to the enemy, and the only think to kill a member of AI was a train.

Really enjoying is good, only played with strangers so far but with friends I imagine its a lot better.

I was thinking about this, the way the helicopters fly I believe is like that to give the co-op players a stable platform to shoot from, its neigh on impossible to do anything meaningful in the battlefield from a heli, however from the way the helis are here once you're at speed or making small adjustments at low speed the heli is pretty level and allows team mates to put down a lot more effective shots.

One thing the helis are missing is a cross hair to line your shots up with!

Good call on the cross hair requirement. Although I don't think I have ever used the heli to attack anything yet.

I encountered my first unavailable skill upgrade, not due to skill point allowance but the lack of rebel supplies. I wondered what the use was in collecting them all weekend, but now I know.

Anyone found a decent sniper scope? I seem to have a 3.4x zoom scope and that's all.

There's a x6 which is effective over 600m but I can't remember for the life of me where I picked it up now!

I have the same scope, although the range lines on the scope are sync'd to 300m per line which is a bit useless. The "his" Ak47 has markers for every 100m which I find noisy but useful.

A quick google will reveal where to collect the 6x scope weapons cache from. IIRC its up North in the far left province and within that province its in the top right.

How's everyone finding this after a week?

I played the beta and have had it from release day; for the 1st few days I loved it and became immersed in the environment etc. However as time has gone on it has become repetitive and whilst there are still some great moments I do feel myself becoming bored of it already.

Play on your own or with others? Playing with a mate makes this game

There must be 2 as I got mine somewhere down south. I only have it equipped on my long range rifles MSR/L115A3, I use the G28 (I think) dual optic scope on my Mk14 for general purpose killing. What annoys me is having the Mk14 as a primary and the MSR/L115A3 as a secondary, one uses the others ammo even though they are different calibres.

I think this looks fantastic. bought the original xbox purely for Ghost Recon and played it to death - along with island Thunder. never been a fan of any of the later ones though.

My son is keen too but he's only 10 - is there a profanity filter?

I played it on and off for the past week, didn't get really far. It's a game with good potential but i just couldn't see myself putting serious time into it. So i went down cex and sold it at a ten pound loss. Oh well.

Starting the lastest assassin's creed game now, so far so good.
