I must have played the first mission - Gray Wolf 01 about 1000 times already and can't get passed the tanks...Any tips for the first mission.

Thanks

You have picked up the AT4 out of the crate along the back wall, correct?

I would also suggest that if you have turned off show objectives on screen in player options that you turn that back on.

Take cover and use smoke. Then man the machinegun

I man the left gun, take out the vehicle and then most of the enemies with it, step back, finish off the stragglers with the rifle (or let the team do it), switch to smoke grenades, grab the launcher, toss a smoke grenade in front of the barriers, run around the back left, switch to launcher when out of breath, go out into the road, hit tank from behind, then run back to the squad and heal if necessary.

Does anyone know what the crucial elements are to score a 10 (or 12) points on this mission? I've successfully completed the mission probably 20 times (90% of the time with all team-members in tact), but my highest score is only a 6 (silver commendation). What gives?

I believe it is honor points. you get more points for healing your buddies and shooting baddies that are shooting at your teammates. Try a higher skill setting and you buds will get wounded more and also check them from time to time because they can be wounded but not down...

Yea, I'm always checking team-mates health. My max honor is 750 for this one (I've hit that several times). Because I HAVE hit 750 many times I'm also thinking that it is the max attainable for honor (if anyone knows the answer to that please comment).

I've gone through all the missions on standard, and re-did two on novice (to get the "with no casualties" achievment) with these results:

Mission/score/difficulty:
01/06/std
02/10/std
03/10/std
04/10/std
05/10/std
06/10/std & nov
07/12/std
08/07/std & nov

I started to write down my results. Now that I am about 4 hours away from my winter break, I will have the time to really start getting deeper into the game. I think I am going to start a journal for this game. I need to play through again and finish wargames. When I do, I will compare my results with what you posted. I would really like to get the rest of the SP, but it is tough. Not saying that is a bad thing.

Every time I get to the extraction point on this mission, the game freezes up right after we fight off the attackers. Anyone else have this problem and if so were you able to fix it?

Ya that's pretty common.. It seems random so all I can suggest is trying it again. On the plus side, I've never seen any mission other than the 1st one lock up like that.

The answer is simply to simplify. Crouch. Wait for the enemy vehicle to come out into the open. Aim directly behind the turret. Fire. Done.
