ok I seem to of run into a problem of the AI not following orders, one of the men normally unit 2 will fire his gun at nothing then say "out of ammo" then ill tell him to get a gun repeat the step and again and so forth...., tell the men to do something they don't its not anything pecific I just dont think they were trained right.

well this is not the forum for that question... but I'll answered before one of the moderators move this out......

try to move the soldier the closer posible to the dead sioldier with the weapon you want...
then order him to get the weapon...
and after that (in the action menu) order him to reload....
that's how I got them to get any weapon.. except the sniper rifle... they don't seem to use it very well...

Are you telling me that once you ordered a soldier to go get a weapon you have to also order him to reload it?

[Maldita Vecindad]

that's not always the case but sometimes I had to do it so they could start fire.....

I had great luck with the sniper rifles. YOu set them to hold fire, designate a target, then tell them to fire. It's perfect. Thank you BIS for this feature!

williamhicks - sounds to me like your unit is firing at something he can see/sense but cannot hit. His shots are probably hitting into the hill or something. Here's what you do:

1) Set him to HOLD FIRE
2) Check the target list and see what is in there
3) Go over to where he is and see what he might be shooting at
4) If the problem still isn't solved, move him either somewhere safe and tell him to stay there, or send him into enemy fire to eliminate him (YOU can eliminate him if you are using the silenced HK and make a clean headshot - your other AI team members won't care).

nah i check it out nothings there at all... he shoots till guns empty gets new gun and shoots till thats empty and so on in this fashion.

Does this happen on all missions or is it limited a particular one?
