Title: I strongly dislike Infinity Mission.
Description: Heres why.

1: They don't tell you where the Advance Point is. They expect you to run around the map like a fucking idiot looking for it. This isn't hard if you haven't been found. But you have, you have evade the attack team, keep and eye on you're stamina (More to that later) while you're still trying to find this thing!

Theres no special indication of it on the radar, it looks exactly like the enemies, so lets just say you think you've found it. Run for it, and before you know it, you just by an enemy. Say goodbye at your chances for a no alerts play through.

2: The stamina system sucks, in order to recover it you have to find Rations. The problem is, you can shake enemy after enemy down and never find any (If you don't have a large medical team with the proper specialties.). Thus wasting you're time and stamina. In Snake Eater, you're stamina was easier to manage because food was easier to find. Here it is not so easy.

3: There is no perma saving. The only kind you get is a temporary save that ditches you at the main menu, and is deleted when you reload. So if you dye late into a mission, you are screwed. You have to start all over again. Bull. (Now I really need some confirmation on this)

4: In order to compete online you need to play this. All the people I have seen online have really good characters. They either got them from a MPO transfer, a game save from Gamefaqs, (Or any other site) or they played IF.

Now for people like me, who bought MPO+ without having MPO and don't want to be a cheating asshole. We have to play through this, again and again to to get good characters just to do what this release was meant for: Online play. If you do not, expect to get owned.


I don't hate Infinity Mission. It can be lots of fun. But it's just has so many problems to it. Peace out.

Hey man, i feel your pain. I had a friend with the same issue.

I'll gladly trade you some of my leftovers with high stam/life. PM me and we'll set it up! Having a deliveryman/athlete with high stam makes it a lot more fun. Rescuers are great too. I've got over 175 guys, let me know what you'd like! We can just do it through a real combat match and you can take all my guys.

I Would love if we could play in wich stage or level we would like to play like on MGS PO

And its not that hard to find some rations i always find some and end up with 15 in my inventory after each mission

How many rations and med kits are on the map relates to how skilled/how many Doctors/Chemists/Nutritionists you have in your med unit.

I noticed after you more people in your medical team you get more and more medical items. I have to change that part of my rant.

The access point on the radar is actually more of a spike. If you look closely, the access point has just one spike while the enemies have a few so you just need to turn urself to face where the spike is coming from and head towards that direction. To your problem with characters, you should play RC or do online trade or something. That might help

Also For As Far A Items In The Area If You Can Get Your Spy Level Up Not By Percent But That Would Help To But If You Get Your Assistance Level Up To 99 You Will Be Able To See All The Items Locations On The Map Which Will Also Help Your Problem For Stamina And Health Also If You HAve 99 On Tech You Will Be Able To Find Stealth In Some Location Is You Used A Lot Of Stealth More Stealth Appear More Often In Extreme Mode As Well , I Hope This Helps You

With the right team, even Extreme can be beaten fairly easy and within 60 minutes. You should have...

- 1 Plain Genome
- 1 Navy Seal
- 1 FOX Unit
- 1 Skinny camo guy or female officer (which ever you have more trouble getting by)

High stamina and 200 or so health should do, having A+ in CQC is also real helpful.
This way you will have a much easy time being sneaky and naughty behind the dumb old guards backs. The easiest way for me to recruit in extreme is to knock on one side of the door, and than quietly move to the other side and wait for whoever to come in, than you just CHOKE THEM!!! ERGH!!!!!!!!

After you've completed the levels a few times you get to know all the places of the advance point, which makes it a lot easier to read the display and find the advance point without actually seeing it.

Hope that helps.

holyclericz - February 2, 2008 04:21 AM (GMT)
Yeah actually the access points are in the same place in the map a few times so try remembering those places and you know where to go. And If you ever have an overload of rations or med kits, get a soldier with the deliveryman career. helped me get a ton of weapons,med kits,rations and stuff like that.
