All that I ever found was that you can add to your own squad up to 12 men total. The other AI squads slowly die off during the fighting with no way to add units to them during the Badlands missions. But, like I said, you can reinforce your own squad. If that was the biggest of annoyances in the mission I'd be happy. But just wait until you finish the mission - and then it won't end. Just sit in limbo. Yeah, fun times.

Come on BI... throw us a bone and at least respond! I'm not going to use cheesy "skip mission" console commands to complete the campaign. I'm stalled on this one because it won't complete. You have a solid foundation in this game, but letting it sit with the hellish campaign bugs is hurting your reputation badly. You should have delayed release for a few more months and got the campaign smooth. Seriously.

I didn't assassinate him, and my mission bugged out after I captured all 4 towns and now I can't progress to the next mission... but I think that happens if you do assassinate him as well.

The thing that threw me off at first with satchels is that there is no 'confirm' action for dropping it. You just select drop charge and when your guy hunches down, it's done. No need for anything else. At that point just run to a safe distance, and then pull up the menu again and you'll see an option to detonate it.

The most frustrating part for me is that their are moments of brilliance and very overall solid foundation for amazing game play - even within the campaign. But when those game breaking bugs hit, oh it burns me up. Badlands is the biggest example of this for me personally. Commanding multiple squads of troops and taking towns was fun and very challenging... hours of effort and reloads... and finally when I pulled it off it felt so good - until it bugged out after the cut scene and now I'm stuck because the mission won't end. Just me, my squad, and 4 conquered cities chilling for eternity. So I guess that's the end of the campaign for me for now.

So far I've mostly loved the campaign and game play... besides a couple of glaring flaws in a couple of missions so far: 1- When evacuating Manhattan the option to retreat to the US base far to the South - why put that option into the game if it is not allowed? Players spend a long period of covert sneaking to get down there... only to be magic sniped when they get within 1.5 km of the base? That mechanic ruined the fun of the fun of the mission for me. 2- The end of the Badlands mission - there isn't one!? I've completed all the objectives and the mission won't end. Shows complete, cut scene, then back in the mission showing objective still to complete that was just completed before the cut scene. I'm stalled at this point until I figure out how to get the mission to end properly. 3- The most minor of my gripes is the cut scenes over all. Seems like I constantly get radio chatter, and cut scene dialog running over each other and sometimes even combat happening while my guys are standing around trying to talk. Anyway - great game overall... I love the mechanics of it all. But man, the single player campaign needs some serious polish applied to how it flows along with a few major bug fixes. More clarity/instruction on what exactly the options are to complete some of the more complex missions would do a lot to decrease frustration.
