    roosevelt island

    Has the difficulty on roosevelt island been ramped up trying the daily mission on challenging which i can normally do even with randoms is proving to be next to impossible to do, it's the last part of the mission that is the problem tried it about half a dozen times now with different people and with the same result each time a big fail. anyone els finding this tougher than normal.

    The last part is hard but you can do it by learning the npcs' tactic and spawning pattern. Also it is good to help your teammates before they go down. Don't break the 2 tanks at the same time and use the mini gun to put npcs down ( while your mates are covering you ). Today I've won this part twice : one solo ( because all my random team members gave up after two attempts ), one in a group ( because one friend of mine invited me to help him on this part ). In order to win you have to be really focus on where are npcs and what will be your next move ( don't stay always on the same cover ).

    Ya, the last part is learned well enough. You gotta pick a point where you can't be easily flanked and the first 20 seconds you gotta deal with the running suicide bombers and start dealing with the guy on the mini gun. After that, don't blow up any of the fuel tanks until everything dies. After that, destroy one tank and wait to destroy all enemies. Then 2nd tank. No single mob is more difficult than any other in game, but picking the wrong place to kill them can really frustrate you as you can get flanked in this mission more than others.

    There have been many times I have reached the end with randoms on challenging that we could not complete it.
    Too many NPCs right over the wall and you die pretty quickly. At this point I don't want to waste my time anymore and try this with more randoms and have the same outcome.

    Haven't had any issues on any other missions but this one. Needs to be tweaked. Sucks playing the whole mission and not being able to complete the last stage.

    Its best to spread out a bit, 2 over on left and two on the right, or if one is confident on their own have them on the left on the long platform behind the mounted weapon on truck, that is always where I go.
    It stops all the NPC's advancing on you, and you can get them in two smaller groups, deal with the mounted gun chap and it gets easier if the NPC's are spread a bit.
    Gets tougher when the heavy comes and a bit of running about is needed.
    Worse thing a group can do is all stay near that first container, the NPC's just come both sides. If you have the firepower to stop them reaching its ok but as soon as one gets in behind you its normally curtains.

    You know, from a difficulty standpoint it'd be interesting if they implemented a semi "mercy rule" that scaled the difficulty back a certain degree if people respawn more than X times and X time has passed. That way you could change the AI to be smarter again and then allow those who are struggling to be able to finish at least despite the time taken to complete it. I dunno, probably needs a lot more flushing out idea wise.

    I just watched a live stream of a group doing this and honestly, they were abysmal. I hate to be critical as its easy to do watching a video but there were some glaring issues for me:

    Just on the final battle

    1. Going over the wall. The guy streaming spends about 30 seconds looking for somewhere to place his turret. As a result he does nothing to deal with the suicide bombers and almost dies. He got lucky.
    2. The M60. The M60 is not designed for CQB, yet this guy is running around in the open trying to hit targets at point blank range whilst his finger is never off the trigger. The amount of misses. Must have been 75%.
    3. Use of cover. He just didn't. Even when he was behind physical cover he wasnt 'in cover' and again he just stood their, finger on trigger, until reload. Worse, he stood in the open, trying to head shot the guy on the mini gun with an M60 with NO additional stabilisation.
    4. Skills. Aside from using the chem launcher as healing which we wont go in to here, he was using the turret, but he would throw it against objects on the ground and it would be completely useless. He made no attempt to reset it, he didnt set it to flame thrower for the final stage after the tanks were blown.
    5. Special weapon: Using grenade launcher on fuel tanks once all enemies are dead. Though he did attempt 1 grenade at the mini gun at the start.

    Watching these guys play, if all those saying its hard are playing like this. ITS YOU. Its not the game.

    So, just give the same revard for participation? Nice, could just respawn a dozen of times running to mobs instead of trying to beat them

    In the final part you need to kill all the enemies and THEN you start to destroy the virus, if you don't do this you have to do all the enemies wave together.
    When u have killed all the enemies, take the 2 minigun and start to destroy the virus
