Thanks for the reply. I was using prairie fire DLC. I wonder if that is why there was no load option (or resume or revbert options)? I also figured out the pause thing - it was because I still have the screen up. If i clicked off it it does pause properly!

I am probably being dumb here, but I cannot figure out how to load a saved game. During a campaign mission (single player) i press escape and press 'save' or sometimes 'save and exit'. When I later boot up the game I have no idea how I go about loading up the saved game - I cannot find 'load' anywhere!. Is it possible to save a sinlge player mission during it and then load it back up again later? Also, while doing a single player mission is it possible to pause the game? Recently I pressed escape thinking that would pause it, only to come back later and find myself dead! 🙂 Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks for all the replies. I have another question about communication. I know you can sent text communications by using the / key, but the rules seem to suggest that there is an inbuilt voice communication system when you press the Caps lock. However, in all my time of running around aimlessly i have never heard anyone speaking! Have I got the Caps lock thin wrong?

Thanks Col. Flanders. I think that you are right that I have probably being playing an Evo mod, as I did wonder what all the red hatching was about! I presume in Evolution from what you say, that the first goal is to get rid of the AA defences. Do you just go up to them and shoot them or do you need to use explosives? Out of interest, are there certain maps/mods etc that have more action than others? In the single player missions you sometimes control an AI squad - does this happen in multiplayer?

I was wondering if anyone could give me some hints about what I should be doing in the game in multiplayer mode? I can figure out the mission objectives when I look at the map. Do I just head towards them and look for the enemy? How does a side gain control of an objective? Is it when the last enemy in that area is gone or do you need to capture a flag, building etc? My experience so far has been quite frustrating, as I spawn then hopefully get a lift to the battle site, but when i get there there seem to be very few enemies or allies around. I then generally spend 15 mins running around with nothing happening. Is this normal or do I need to look at particular areas? I was under the impression that even if there were only a few players there would be plenty of AI soldiers, on your side and on the other. Also, I know there is a squad type system going on but I can't figure out how to find my squad mates or communicate with them. Is there a way of identifying them on the map? I really want to get into this game and have read there is a steep learning curve, but at the moment i feel that I am all at sea. Any help would be much appreciated.
