Yeah, I've completed both Cannon Fodders but this is something else. lol I think maybe it should have been called Cannon Fodder Extreme. lol.

These levels are hard as feck! The early levels are supposed to be nice and easy. The difficulty curve is off the scale! I agree with mission 2. Its almost impossible. The best way I found is going to the far left or right and splitting up your men into two groups. I manage to get a few men on the beach if I take the extreme riight hand side. Still not done it though.

Thanks for the update by the way!

Ps. I think I prefer the original pointer and crosshair to the updated one. How do I get the old style pointer into this game??

Yay, best game release of the century

I'll be giving this a go over the weekend. CF 1 & 2 were too easy so looking forward to the challenge

Graham Humphrey · 28 August 2008, 17:45

Quick tip (shamelessly nabbed from another forum): if you have an original CF save game you can use it with these new missions too - so as long as you're decent at the original, you can pretty much check out any new mission you want as long as you have a save for it. I had an old save for mission 10 and having used it with the new missions, I can safely say it doesn't get much easier...

Hungry Horace · 28 August 2008, 18:48

There is now also a "Ram-Installed Save-State" (RISS) version for PSPUAE available via the pspuae.com downloads section.

i am also being motivated by this to work on my Mega-Lo-Mania editor again

I hope the rest of the missions are a bit harder

As for mission 2 phase 1 go to the extreme left - you can do the level with one man

you are missing the 'installer' program from your workbench setup.

use the pre-installed version in The Zone to avoid the extra hassle of installing it yourself

Steve · 31 August 2008, 00:02

I'm also onto mission 4 now. Its quite good fun this.

@rmcin329

You need this file in your C directory: http://aminet.net/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha

http://aminet.net/util/misc/Installer-43_3.readme

rmcin329 · 31 August 2008, 00:20

that file is in my C directory.....but in case it was corrupt or something, i downloaded the one from your link, and overwrote the one already in my C directory. However i still get the same error.

Graham Humphrey · 31 August 2008, 00:37

So did you download the pre-installed version in the Zone then?

rmcin329 · 31 August 2008, 00:47

yeah, took me about 10 trys to do mission 1 phase 1 -.- even then it was complete with about 7 people lost.

Graham Humphrey · 31 August 2008, 00:51

Tell me about it - I finally completed mission 2 phase 1 but it was sheer luck that I did it. I went over to the extreme right and it just so happened that none of the turrets took a shot at any of my soldiers, making the rest of the phase relatively simple.

Of course, next time I tried it, they all got blown to kingdom come long before they got to the beach...

Hungry Horace · 31 August 2008, 04:50

hmm... although i loved the original CF, i was never really that good at it!!

unfortunately that means that muggins here hasnt even made it past the first mission. :S

i'm glad that even the experts are struggling!! (no offence GH

)

Let me guess, you didn't read the guide supplied in the archive, did you?

And, once again, I'd like to ask: how do I reset the saves?

BTW: Updated to 1.0.1

1.0.1 (28.08.2008) - PARATROOPERS (mapm7)
+ Civilian door instead of enemy one!? Fixed
+ Cosmetics.
