No, I did not know that. How do I do that?

Which is why I avoid using them altogether. The direct fire weapons does the job just as good as the indirect ones, if not better I wish I could choose what weapon to use in all missions, instead of being given weapons that I cant use effectively.

I'm running the 1.2 version, and noticed the same thing. The barque would stop a distance from the carrier, all items were transferred to the carrier, but the distance was unnaturally long. I was looking on the map and saw the barque at what I estimate to be up to 1 km from the carrier. It was about half way between the carrier and the max telemetry range indicated on the map.

I understand your concerns, I was a big fan of the original game myself. I know just how bad things can seem when reading the troubleshooting forums. I have played the campaign to completion once and already started it again. I actually pre-ordered the game and participated in the P&C beta. Right now the biggest issue with the game is the AI pathfinding. Walruses cant find their way to waypoints you set. I seen them run into rocks and trees, and drive around in circles when trying to find their way to their destination. However BI are currently working on fixing that problem, they made an announcement about it. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?141129-Carrier-Command-Gaea-Mission-AI-pathfindng-to-be-addressed The game has had some problems, but nothing so bad that the game is unplayable. The game is actually very polished, and the majority of the players are giving the game high praise. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?140871-Reviewing-time! If you want to wait before purchasing then thats your choice of course, but if you are as big a fan as you say you are, then I think you will be able to overlook these problems for the most part. Personally I almost cant put the game down, despite the issues with the pathfinding. I just have to micromanage things a little more, thats all. Its difficult to tell how long you should wait, as these things vary from game to game and developer to developer If you want to wait I would say come back every few weeks, perhaps even as often as once a week if you want, and check for updates and then buy it when you feel its the right time.

Did you retake the Island Arachnid from the Enemy carrier? I had the same thing happen to me after I took that Island. When I tried to take the Island the game restarted the tutorial, and after taking the Island I was unable to repair, rearm and refuel my units Just load the game from before you took the Island and you should be good. Let the enemy have it, you dont need to take all Islands to complete the campaign As far as I know you can only do that with walruses. I have tried doing it with Mantas, but could it would not do so, at least not in campaign mode. Uhm did you read his post? He actually said he had fuel and carrier has no damage. Maybe you missed that part? :cool:

Actually they were not people, instead it was a computer chip you inserted into the vehicle. These chips contained the the mind and personality of a living person with the skills and experiences of said person, but there were no actual people that were driving the vehicles

There has been a few times during the campaign where I have been forced to use either the Grenade launcher or H.E.A.T on a walrus. I hate the weapons as its far to easy for the AI to evade my shots. Too many times I see them move out of the way and evade my shots. On the other hand when I see the AI using them, they can hit me with pinpoint accuracy even if I try to move out of the way after the shot has been fired. It honestly feels like the shots are tracking sometimes, even though I doubt that is the case. These indirect fire weapons are difficult to use, and takes time to learn how to use effectively.

If you bought the game directly from BI, you can get it from the BI Store. https://store.bistudio.com/carrier-command-gaea-mission?page=shop.product_details&product_id=59&option=com_virtuemart&redirect=0

I have the game but havent played it in a long time. Its a decent game, but just cant compare to CCGM if you ask me.

I'm playing the campaign for the second time now. I have previously praised the work of BI on this game, but one thing I havent seen any comments on are the music. Personally I find the music to be just perfect for the game. To me its one of those extremely rare times when the music fits the game in such a way that I it enhances the atmosphere and experience of the game to a level I had never thought possible. I honestly dont have the words to describe just how I feel about it. In most games I turn the music off because I feel its just in the way really. But here there are times when the music makes me I feel as is I'm actually living the game and not just playing it. I just acquired the launch platform for the Hammerhead on Taksaven. During the part of the FPS mission where I go into the research center on foot to get the launch platform, the music just makes me ant to keep going forever. Whoever is responsible for the music in this game just hit the nail on the head with the music here.

Sounds like you are missing something, but not sure what that could be Dont remember right now how I did it, and with the 1.2 update my old savegames are incompatible with the new version of the game. I'm playing through the campaign again, but will take some time. The shield should go down once you capture the sector if I'm not mistaken.

Note that rebuilding a command center takes a long time. But once the capsule is deployed you can move on to the next Island, you dont have to wait for it to be constructed. If you are quick enough you may be able to capture a second Island before the CC is rebuilt, I have done that a couple times.

I'm not talking about setting a waypoint for them. I'm talking about when I tell them to follow me using assist Why do they need to create waypoints when I tell them to follow me? But that would explain why they drive like confused headless chickens. Even when there is a straight line between me and the walrus in question I still see them try to drive off the road in some random direction.

I cant say I ever saw this cutscene during that assault. I captured all sectors and then I saw a cutscene of a carrier with mantas flying out to attack. After that I just drove up to the research center, I went in and a cutscene showing me getting the software for the torpedo. You have to clear the area of enemies, including turrets, once you do that it should come down by itself if I remember right.

No, the Hammerhead launcher is at the front of the carrier. Its in front of the manta lifts. If you go to the repair screen and mouse over the Hammerhead repair icon there it will indicate where the hammerhead launcher are.

I have had the same problem. I can get his shield down, but because of the way he moves I often lose aim, and by the time I get my aim back his shield will be back up. This is a loss of valuable time. Walrus? I havent even been able to shoot down his manta.

When using assist, the walruses following me, tend to move slower than me or fall behind. This means I have to stop every 50-100 meters to let them catch up or they get "lost". Have the speed be the same as mine and have them follow at a reasonable distance, so as to not have them fall behind. I have had walruses following me not even try to cross a bridge when they come to it. Instead of crossing the bridge, they try to go around. Even if they are coming straight at the bridge, they can decide to go around it instead of over it. Its as if they see the bridge as an obstacle and not a crossing point I noticed this specifically on Thermopylae during campaign mode, when they were trying to cross a bridge. They would come straight at the bridge, but as soon as they came to it, they would turn and go around and get stuck.

Name one game you played that gives you everything during the tutorial. The tutorial is usually intended to teach you the basics of the game, never seen a game where you get everything during the tutorial. I dont see how that beats the purpose of the campaign/tutorial. I never noticed it, so I did some checking. Turns out its where the scout drone is stored and launched from. But it leads to another question. I thought the Helipad was for the scout drone, as that is what has been said about it. But it turns out the Scout drone is hovering above that hatch after being launched. But the Helipad is actually unused, so what is the helipad really for?

It has no use in campaign mode, but in strategy mode its used for the scout drone.

I just completed the campaign early this morning. Now I just want to start it all over again, thats how much I enjoyed it. I have tried strategy mode as well, but I dont like that I start out with everything available. I like to be able to capture islands and then find new items I can produce as I take these islands. If I have everything from the start I dont feel there is any real progression for me and I quickly get bored. I really liked the story of the campaign, and hope that the mod tools will enable us players to create our own campaigns as well. I actually read somewhere that it should be possible, but cant remember where. I cant remember any game that I have enjoyed this much is years. I honestly dont know how to express with word just how much I appreciate when BI has done with this game. With so many crappy console ports thees days, its so refreshing to see that a developer can actually take the time to create a good game. I know I probably said it before, but it just cant be said enough. I sincerely hope they are working hard to get the bugs and other issues we have reported fixed as soon as possible, because once those are rooted out this game should be able to outshine most other games.

One in stock of a 1 shot item seems too limited in my opinion. Would be nice to be able to carry a few (5 maybe?) so I can send out a new one if I need to.

I noticed the same thing. I usually have to real the logs after the conversations are over to find out what its being said, just to make sure I didnt miss something important..

I did not get him before he flew under the bridge. He managed to get under and flew up and around before I managed to blow him up. The way you describe it, it sounds to me like I was just seconds too late. If it helps determine if there is a bug then I certainly dont mind the details besides, it gives me the ability to determine if I could have done things differently as well.

In strategy mode I had the laser mkII from the start. Never had it in the campaign.

I have used the tomahawks in Campaign mode only so far. No matter how I do it I cannot 1 shot a command center with the Tomahawk, it just dont have the firepower. So I would like to know what kind of Tomahawks you are using that can do that, unless you are hitting the target at some weak spot. Only weapon I found that can 1 shot a command center are the bombs, never had the Hammerhead available other than for the campaign mission on Fulcrum. As for using them on the Scramblers, I dont know why I never thought of doing that, they are perfect for that
