Bug of Feature?

Introduction

At times it might not be quite clear whether certain features or behaviours are bugs, planned features, engine limitations, or just false expectations due to confusing documention.

For those cases, this list has been created.

If you come across features where one of the above criteria might apply, put it here first, and then, once it has been determined to be a true bug, it will then be moved to the official bug list.


General Issues

AI Issues

In the second mission where I have to be an AT insurgent and must destroy 5 tanks:

I fired 3 ATs. Got 2 extra from an ammo dump. Killed a man guarding the route to the 2 last tanks I have to destory. After getting his ammo I don't have my US automatic rifle in my hands. My hands look like I carry the rif;e but I don't see it. However I can should - I see a cross. Yet when I use my visor nothing shows at all and I don't know where to should. Again I can should shot, but I can see the file.

After getting an AK from a dead enemy I can see the weapon visually.

Of course the AK is'nt better for good aiming.

Since the menu, the game engine has a horrible bug: the sky is twinkling pieces in black and white. when the mission is in sunset, the twinkling pieces are yellow. by the way, sometimes, suddenly, the entire screen looks a bit more dark, and backs to the normal color scheme, except the sky, obviously.
