77scout 10 Posted October 11, 2009 So I am on the mountain for the observation task and trying to laser the house for the airstrike. But I can't get the laser designater to work. I sight the house with the laser unit and left click mouse to 'fire' the laser and no red dot. The Razor leader guy keeps saying over and over "I don't any lasr Coop, you sure you got that thing switched on?" I do have the battery in my gear. I have tried every other click and key I can think of to fire the laser and no luck. What am I missing? Thanks for any assistance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LukeB 10 Posted October 11, 2009 When I got the Laser Designator (back in the Helo) I also got the Laser Battery. That was it. When needed, I selected the Laser Designator (using the mouse wheel menu) and held the right mouse button and the red Laser spot could be seen. That's all I did and everything worked OK. If you cant get it to work, you may have to either replay the mission (testing the gear at the beginning of the mission) or just continue. I think that the mission will still end whitout completing that task. Cheers, Luke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
77scout 10 Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks Luke. Your description matches a video walkthrough I just found on line. Seems it should work as you described but it doesn't on my system...strange. So I have replayed the whole campaign again with the same result. I definately picked up the battery in the helicopter and it still shows in my gear. I select the Laser Designator as my weapon with the mouse wheel and the laser viewer comes up fine, but neither right or left mouse button (clicking or holding) gives a red dot. Left click pops up a 'send it in' menu option, but clicking that just starts the team leader's rant about me not having the thing turned on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
77scout 10 Posted October 12, 2009 Problem solved. Just in case someone else has the same problem... The laser designator only shows the red dot when playing on 'regular' or below. If you play on a higher level like 'expert' there is no red dot. Left click once to turn the designator on and then you have to just trust that it is functioning.

LukeB 10 Posted October 12, 2009 Great find. Who would have thought of that? I think it may actually be a bug. IMHO the red spot should show no matter what difficulty level is played. Cheers, Luke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
