gotcha. Sorry. THought you were insinuating that i missed some AI or was slow to react. here is the situation: four soldiers appear...I react, and mow them all down. SUV moves forward (after stopping because I fired) straight into the house in front of us. then backs up, turns the wheel to correct, then drives forward....only problem is it hasn't backed up far enough to make the turn, so it keeps on backing up, and rolling forward into the house (or wall on the other occasion) multiple times...until I am killed. The AI knows enough to back up, but not far enough. In any event, I restarted the mission the fourth time, and almost got caught with yet another save game right in front of the HIND loop, however I was able to eject from the SUV; the Hind fired at the SUV, I let it pass, then I re-boarded and moved on--taking out the Hind on its second pass. Just glad its over with, and hoping that was the only poorly scripted (IMHO) mission. No way to at least command the vehicle? I recall even the first ARMA and OFP both had the ability to command HALT; which would have made this much more enjoyable.

Guess again tough guy. AI is killed, and the truck manages to find either a wall or a house. I finally got passed that area (its the last village/town just before the HIND encounter) and my autosave puts me dead in the hinds sights...every restart the hind opens fire and I get schwacked. I guess I'm headed for a fourth restart.

Not only does the AI deviate from the path...but get this: It actually continually collides with a wall until I am killed. It has done this two me twice, in two different areas. (although they are both near one another so I suspect its placement of the waypoint). It's making the completion of the mission impossible. Here goes attempt number three.... BIS; you are like an abusive husband, and I'm your Bitch. You beat the piss out of me, and I keep comming back...over and over and over.... I need an intervention; next time BIS comes out with a game, someone just smash my pathetic sausage fingers with a damn hammer--I'm tired of BIS bending me over.
