Question 1:
I have lost the link to the Action Replay info. Can someone please tell us (we are not geeks) how to use the AR to download missions off the web and get them to work on our local XBOXs? Please include a link to where the missions are located! Our deal is that we play OFP:E on the XBOX console only. We would love to download other people's created missions and play them on our XBOX consoles live with friends... We don't want to create missions on the PC and share them... We would like to share our XBOX console based missions and share them though... We need help!

Question 2:
Are there any soldiers that carry the laser designator? We would like to drop LGB from the A10 and have them guided by ground based troops...

Once you get there it's just a simple click and drag manuever. The unit carrying the laser designator will have "designator" in parantheses. I am pretty sure it's a commando. There are several different kinds. LGB missions are some of the best.

When creating a mission in the mission editor, which group of soldiers has the commando? I can't seem to find the group of soldiers that contains the laser designator... Ie basic, special, air etc?...

You can find him under "Men".

Do I understand correctly that it is not possible to control this person directly on a live mission? The designator soldier has to be AI? Thanks for all the help!

From what I remember, right before you start the mission there should be a screen that shows you the other human players in the lobby waiting for the mission to start. From here you should be ale to switch between the soldiers you have created thus allowing you to take control of any one particular soldier before the mission begins. The only problem is if someone doesn't take the LEADER position the AI will control all the other AI players and venture across the map without you in control.

Cool, thanks.. I will play around with it... As far as I understood, when creating missions for live you choose the "unit type", which includes basic/special/etc units... When you start the mission, you can only control the soldiers within these units, not randomly created "extra" soldiers... Only the AI can control those... Is that true? Has anyone been able to great additional troops and spawn into them?

You are correct. You only get to actually play the soldiers from the "Unit Type" you intially create for the map. All the extra units you place within in the map are strictly AI controlled. I haven't heard nor personally experienced any way of taking control of friendly AI units that are out side of your Unit type.

Figured out a work around for Question 1:
When creating missions for live, you can create a West/Man/Commando/Designator and this commando will have the designator. A simple (but crude) way to get the designator is to kill him and pick it up... Then you can use the designator to designate targets and have your friends drop laser guided munitions from the air... Pretty cool!
