The is the worst fucking mission structure possible in a strategy game. WTF is this shit?
It's one thing to make me keep my own units alive, or for me to protect a stationary building, but to make me fucking protect a retarded ass npc unit i have no control over who willingly moves into the line of fire of enemies when it doesnt have to. What is this shit?
This is the mission where Brenner is in a tank and distracts the enemy while you lead the blue units to their building. Well the recon units first move is to drive into the line of fire of a rocket. Its second move is to drive into firing range of an artillery. Great, so i guess i just need to focus on the infantry unit. You know, the one that runs into tanks and enemy recon units. When it isnt doing this, its cock blocking me trying to move my guys to specific spots.
This is starting to feel like a mission with only a single solution, and I hate bullshit like that.
Hated that mission as well. Felt way too gimmicky. Unless you know ahead of time that the NPC would pull stupid crap like that, it's very easy to lose. Trying to be stubborn by staying around to "help" Brenner isn't a great idea either, as I found out. =[
I just cleared mission 22 and so far so good. Last few missions have been more challenging (30+ days for past few missions) so that's a welcome change. Can't wait for that final mission so many people have been hyping about.
