Too many bugs. I keep shooting people in the head with sniper rifles and they don't even take a hit even though they are in plain view. It's a pile of shite.

...maybe you're clenching: imagine the rifle moving towards the target as you shoot. Of course another possibility is that you're just so damn scared that your hand is shaking when you take the shot - dya think that just might be the problem huh? maybe? do you? Its ok to be scared, its a very realisitc game after all.

Absolutely, my washing machine can't keep up with the constant supply of soiled underwear. Apart from the odd annoying bug though, like where you shoot someone in the head 30 times and nothing happens because they can't "see" you even though you can see them it is I admit a pretty good game.

I know I came across it in the french town that's full of snipers and its pissing rain the whole time and you're looking for the tank crew. I felt sure that was Allied Assault though.
If it is Spearhead (which I'm now beginning to think it might be - which is the one with the blowing up of the bridge?) then its not exactly widespread but yes it is quite an annoying bug but on the up side at least you know where the bastard is for later.
nix = "glass half-full" sort of a guy
mex = "this is'nt quite the sort of glass I was expecting" sort of a guy

and anyway, you can't hate Spearhead when it gives you such fantastic scenarios to fight through - think I might go and replay it again tonight - thanks for reminding me what an absolutely smashing game it is mex.
So do you have a tracking number for your tanktop?

I'm really noticing it in Berlin in Spearhead. Also do you find that your rifle doesn't always go bang? As for my lapdancer it get here when it gets here, try not to loose any sleep over it nix, I'll let you know when it's arrived safely!

i'm with grixnix on this one
i've had my fair share of problems achieving mission objectives in Spearhead but at least i have the guts to put it down to post traumatic disorder. You're only human mex, you're allowed to make mistakes. You've been through alot and saved countless numbers of lives. Youre allowed to cut yourself some slack soldier. Get some R&R.
