black hawk down running out of ammo?

[MXC]

am i dumb or if you play solo and dont chose the ammo ability how do you get ammo lol

[Lt.Cdr.Destler]

it's supposed to mimic the real scenario and thus if you run solo you run with what you have. it's why they made it a team thing

[CrustySockz]

Go to your support guy and ask for ammo, if he has any left.

[AskornDorn]

also, use M16. tap tap tap. if you run the car set it to semi...

if you spray whole mags away at once, yes, this happens, and yes, it is a skill issue.

We got all this for FREE and people still expect the game to cater to them.. its wild

The support class can give you ammo, but that player has to press the button to provide you that ammo.

You don't. That's the fun part. You have just enough to get through each stage, assuming you don't use more than 3 rounds per enemy you encounter. (Go for the head)

I guess in a push-come-to-shove situation it would be nice to be able to resupply off of the occasional bot. Also the support class can't give themselves ammo, IIRC. (I only got to play him once and every other time people have yoinked him out from under me and I only ever gave allies ammo.)

That's because when you resupply others (whether it's ammo or medpacks), you're giving your own stash away. Ammo bearer starts with 500 rounds, and everytime he shares that, hie gives out 100 rounds IIRC. Same with medic - he has 15 medpacks and gives them out to others.

Which is great mechanic for co-op, but I agree it's nigh impossible to bear in solo - original Delta Force: Black Hawk Down had similiar overall gameplay/difficulty, but there were places to get ammo/medpacks from.

The original game is way better than this, sorry to hurt you.

[Shermo1984]

Yup, ran a few classes to try and get to the end of first stage. Ran out of ammo everytime

Every one keep saying .. It is like real life.. Nope.. In real life you would go in with more ammo.. you would be able to share with your team and when all else fails battlefield pick up of enemy weapon which is why we have Fam courses in the Corps

Yea for real, we'd be de-linking Saw belts and pulling most if not all ammo from wounded incaps. HMMWV should also have pre-loaded magazines and bandoleers full of 5.56 ready to go. These are Rangers for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake, they're more prepared than anybody.

No, it’s the fact that nothing is explained, nothing to do with “catering” to people. Sure, it says it recommends a team and that the mode is difficult. But I guarantee you most shooter players would be absolutely lost. If you’re gonna deviate from the norm, at least explain what’s different, it’s that simple.

Yea, i was expecting something like a COD Campaign at like maybe Hard Mode, but i was surprised how fast you die. After that i was going more careful and still didnt manage to keep my Ammo at all.

This Campaign is NOT made for Solo Players at all, you cant even grab Ammo from your NPC Teammates which is stupid.

Lmao, so disappearing enemy bodies with AKs are also mimicking the real scenario?

The original BHD game had ammo crates and medkits scattered around.
