Hi guys,

I'm just playing the campaign having waited until 1.04 and am generally pleased with what I've found. Still some ironing out of problems to be done, but given time this game could be as iconic as the original CM series.

One thing I have noticed is how badly the Hummvee recon vehicles spot. I don't just mean enemy either, they can't even see their own side from 20 yards! Is there something I'm missing as regards to their superior optics and sensors? Do you have to turn them on or are they functioning automatically? They really seem to be a waste of time at the moment. Any comments appreciated (preferable helpful ones, but heh, I'm easy!)

Cheers, Darren

So far I have yet to notice any benefit from Recon Hummers or FIST vehicles. It may be internal but I have yet to notice anything.

I think the last time I tried one of them they did a great job as soon as I asked them to open up - soldier stands up behind the optics and starts spotting. Don't know if this is right, but it was my impression.

i got oposite results, in a night time mission my recon strykers couldnt spot nothing unbottoned, as soon as i buttoned them the targets appeared
