Seeing how the older forums were shut down, this seems to be most appropriate forum for this topic. I'm currently playing R2H30 in Authentic mode, and I'm playing the Push Into Carentan mission. It's bad enough that the checkpoints are now twice as far, but the German infanty seem to be all sharp shooters! I can have my squads suppress them while I get on their flank, they have their backs to me and in true John Wayne/Clint Eastwood fashion, they turn and kill me with one shot!! With no matter what weapon their using. I wouldn't be surprised if I got taken out with a rock! Now I'm the first one to promote this franchise as the greatest WW2 FPS ever made, and I hope there are many many more sequels, but these sharpshooters are driving me crazy. As fantastic as a job as the developers do, and they do, we are still humans on the outside of the virtual world and do not have peripheral vision to see things as we would if we were really there. I just hope this gets taken into account in future games or patches. Even keeping the same checkpoints as in the lower difficulty levels would be an improvement. It gets a little monotonous having to keep starting from the beginning again.

OK, how bout this as a thought. Keep the check points the same but get a little bump in health (not a full repair, just a bump) when let's say, making it past the halfway point?? I'm willing to compromise here!!

I figure that's just the nature of authentic mode. I too don't want my games to be such an extreme challenge most times, but that's why I rarely ever played BIA in authentic mode. I just go for a lower difficulty setting.

Yeah, but you know, there is something strangely addicting about Authentic mode, at least for me. I've played both games through in next lower difficulty. I've played all the MOH and COD titles (excpet COD4 because I prefer WW2) twice, and I needed my WW2 FPS fix while waiting for HH. I started it and got hooked. Right now I'm just plain ole frustrated. But I'm gonna take a little break for a day or 3, then try it again.

authentic means that way it would happen in real life.
in real life one man cant take down a couple of men just like that.
so i guess it is quite authentic if you cant beat it just like that.

what more can i say? its not passible because it would not be passible in real life.

try making you'r squad help you mere,
for example you could do the supression.
