alright i'll be frank,everytime i go to infinity mission with any soldiers that have any weapons or items on them as soon as the mission starts i go to equip a weapon and all 4 slots arre empty,i finished the mission level and went back to check my items and weapons menus and they were back in there,i've tried this on easy,normal and hard,and it always takes them away,what gives <_<

You start with nothing, that is how infinity works.

You aren't allowed to take anything with you to the Infinity Missions. Everything, from weapons to equipment is OSP. Your weapons are just taken out of the inventory and put back in your supply of weapons and such.

*cough* Someone forgot to mention this little bit in their guide...

that's BS who the hell put that in the game

It's still extremely fun, the point is to be sneaky not loud and insane.

Just give it a try, you'll like it.

No. Like I said, all weapons and equipment are OSP. You can't take any weapons into the game. It makes it more fun to have to steal weapons from soldiers or find them on the ground.

@Alex: Geez, you forget one detail and everyone jumps down your throat. I'll edit. Haha

Not much need to edit since that part of the game quickly becomes obvious, so thats probably why you left it out.

No worries.

but still,i have an assload of shit i want to use in the missions,like a p90 or the m10,it's hard as ass to find those things,also i don't want to go run and gun it,i need something to protect myself with if i get spotted and can't find a hiding place without gettting shot in the ass all the time i always find an ak every damn time,i keep getting fucking grenades on hard

Most of the time if you've triggered the alert phase, you can hide under something such as the truck, or a table, or if you're doing the security base or guest house levels you can hide in the ducts.

Actually, the P90 is rather easy to find, especially in the Extreme difficulty. I find P90's all the time. M10's are rare. XM17's aren't that difficult to find. Basically, I only ever need to use the weapon to hold up the soldiers and shake off their gear anyways.

Too bad there aren't too many MK22's in the Infinity Missions. That's the only weapon I'd need during the mission..

You can almost always find an MK22 in the town, either at the sniper spot where those sheet covered crates are, or under the table inside the lower building.

EDIT: The town is like the second best place to find textbooks, the first being the bridge.

Agreed. I can sometimes find the MK22 in the Town. For me though, it rarely appears. On occasion it does, but most of the time, I don't find many weapons there.

Also, @g-fox: Make sure you have a lot of surveyors in your Spy unit. That shows all the items on the map. Makes it a hell of a lot easier to find weapons, rations, medkits, and everything else.

I have never even found an M10 since i started MPO+ <_< but SVDs are quite common on most of my inifinity missions I complete(excludes easy). I ended up with at least 4-5 SVDs. As for town, I have always found mk22's there but I rarely get to be on a town map during infinity missions, like 1/5 of the time I select infinity missions I get a town map. I usually find XM17 in the town map too(near red base up the ramp on the right) As for P90's I can only get them from knocked out Tengu's. Lol.

i got about 4-6 of em and i can see all the items on the maps but over half of it is grenades,claymores,and something else i don't ever use
on normal i find an ak about every 10 seconds,some m16's sometimes,a few xm17(or whatever it's called) abit,i don't even really need anything but an m1911a1 on easy
