ataribaby 54 Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) After too many restarts of missions and many pulled hairs i finaly finshed Harvest Red campaing today. With Patch 1.05 and no mods i made it trough Dogs of war and must say WOW. I bitched one time on BI what evil game (it was dying Shaftoe i Manhattan) so i saying big sorry. It was blast, simply best campaing i played. I was totaly tied to my game person and to team Razor. Liked it more than orignal OFP role changing campaing. WHat a immersion! gradualy getting freedom. After it was finished i totaly forgetted all bugs and mission reverts. I liked Manhattan and Dogs of war most. Now i want finish campaing on Veteran mode with all maxed and without any helpers. So thumbs up BI. I love Arma 2 now. For others. Get patience, game and campaing is worth of it, especialy with 1.05 patch. I got good ending. I kiled Prizrak and arrested Lopotev and handover it to Russians. In Dogs of war i got mission i not got before. When i liberated Mogilevka i got radio call about to escort one Chedaki guy to my HQ. After that i got information that there is transmitions from small island. Normaly i got this when i liberate Cernogorsk. Not now. I had to liberate Cernagorsk yet and afer i made it I got call from US that they can be something on that island again. Maybe thats why when i went there and got Lopotev it was not marked as done (maybr bug? as i got it twice). I was able to use AI helicopters. Bought one or US one. In 105 patch i simply ordered my mates to board heli and heli landed. when i arrived on destination i ordeerd all to disembark and heli landed. My bought Heli i simply ordered pilot form my team to go somewhere. For US helis from beach i needed to switch into Commander mode. I used US blackhawk from beach to get to that small island for recon. It was blast. Btw after US forces arrived on beach i ordered all US armor to go to Msta to help capture it as later i alway lost control over US units (maybe another bug?) Beside that i left command over AI and it succesfully captured all towns and got enemy HQ in Msta. I just made small jobs and recon or snipering as recon team. After that (i was in another town liberating it) got call from US and then cut scene on ship with celebration. i Think eding is called in englis "War that never happens" - sorry have czech game version. And last... Never go to visit russian airfield at north after handover lopotev to russians. In later patches i got airfield empty (maybe cos bug as i used saves from previous patch verison - there was just wreck of su-25 and after i blew up two instalations (radar and some depot i got task - destroy russian base competed - that task was not in task list) but now airfield had aircraft traffic and was guarded - i was dead :) Edited January 15, 2010 by ataribaby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That guy 10 Posted January 17, 2010 Im glad to finally see some one who liked the campaign, instead of all these people who proudly proclaim harvest red to be the worst campaign in history I really enjoyed what i could actually complete, but my poor ol' computer almost dies on Manhattan (almost beat it though! ;)). Cant play the campaign on my buddies computer for long enough to make any headway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yapab 10 Posted January 20, 2010 I think most people complained about the campaign because it had LOTS of bugs and does STILL run very slow. However the actual campaign story/mission design/structure is THE BEST FPS COOP CAMPAIGN ever... me and a friend got up to the end of Manhattan and loved every hour of it, even though we had to restart and bug squash for probably half the playing time. After Manhattan finished we got the dredded "no next mission" bug... so we are stuck on Manhattan, pretty annoying. We have not played since early 1.04, so hopefully more is fixed with the COOP mode. ataribaby, are most of the bugs fixed in 1.05? Did you play COOP? We might give it a shot in a few weeks, maybe 1.06 :) Yapa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted January 20, 2010 After Manhattan finished we got the dredded "no next mission" bug... so we are stuck on Manhattan, pretty annoying. Start the mission again with your friend, and both of you use the ENDMISSION cheat. Since you've already completed it, that will take you to the next mission.

Not saw any major bug in Dogs Of war 1.05. Just that one finshed and not marked green island recon . wrote above. But that dosent msatter really as when alied assaulted main Chedaki base mission end was triggered ok. I plan go thru campaing again in 1.05. This time on Veteran. i will tell then.

mrcash2009 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Its funny I got to manhatten when i got the game did about 3 tasks, hit some bugs, very choppy and quit it. Months later (as in yesterday) since patch update and much more smoothness and other missions campaigns running really well (Chesty Puller for one). I went back in and restarted manhatten after all this time ... it was choppy as hell again and I quit after 10 mins. I dont think I will ever finish it, I never finished Arma1's campaigns either, would be nice to go through it all as you have done so good job, but the things that annoy me the most in Arma1/2 (nothing else does) IS the campaigns LOL /... always "something" about them that annoys me. Yet user made ones run fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
