Special Operations?

[boxanata]

So, I've completed the first task which is "Join the official game group", but I'm having trouble completing the second task which is "Invite 5 friends to the game". Is this disabled for the time being?
After you click invite & select a friend, it's doesn't seem to have an option to invite. I've invited all of my friends to the group as well.

Cheers.

same here... I tried inviting people from both the ingame menu and steam.

friends that you invite must rim the app..

... English isn't your primary language, is it Noble. That's OK ... let me see if I can figure this out.

Friends who are currently on your friends list must download the game and at least have a posted score - this counts as 'inviting' them.

A few facts : "Inviting" via Steam Friends List is not an option on this game, as it is not directly multiplayer, although clicking the link in Special Operations actually brings up your friends list, as if to suggest that these people should, in fact, be invitable via the right-click menu on the friends list.

Inviting via the text link at the bottom of the game window, under your friend's user icons ... seems to work ... but just inviting them doesn't seem to have any impact, as I've 'invited' well more than five via that method.

The only thing I can think - and that I really hope - is that simply having 5 friends playing and with a positive score will be enough, as my friends and I all discovered this and chatted via direct word of mouth, before any of us even saw this "special operations" button - and there's 4 of us.

So it's not just "Invite 5 Friends", it's "Invite 5 Friends who then Run the Game"?

It basically is
You can just try adding people for it and then remove them afterwards, it's simple

when I click on special operations then click invite, the error 302 pops up.

same for me

Nothing happens for me when I click on that link. I went and manually invited my friends. I'm a bit dissapointed to be giving this game publicity without the expected compensation. I mean, it's a good game, but darn, I want those points!

They (not a single person) try their hardest really.

As someone who already has spec ops completed:
I have invited someone in my family. I saw them using the link I provided to them via Steam Chat. It's quite badly implemented and most people would probably do better just downloading the game without the link.

Which brings me to my second point: I have invited 5 friends total. Not more not less. But I invited them all. 1 Person of those joined by downloading it himself. 2 People joined by first trying to use the cryptic link and then chose to just download it themselves after they found out it was quite "hidden" to get invited through the link. Only one person of those invited (while I saw it happening) actually figured out a way to install the game via the link in the chat from the invitation.

I told the people to play the first level of the tutorial (AK-47 Field Strip) and then quit the tutorial and the game altogether (if they didn't want to play it, that is). They had a Score of 400.

So I received Spec Ops for: Inviting 5 people that all installed and ran the game and AT LEAST finished the very first instruction of the tutorial (or gained points otherwise).

The only thing I cannot confirm is IF you have to invite them or if it would also count if you were just the first one to install the game of a series of friends and they would install it themselves on their own. i.e. having 5 friends who all decide to install, run and play the game without you ever sending them notice.

I hope this helps.

I tried to be as specific as necessary, sorry for the long text.

Is there any way that you know of to see how many of your friends actually have completed this? I have six friends who have "played the game," but apparently at least two of them have not posted a score. :/

Shown in the Bottom Right, If They Dont Have The Game Downloaded, You Can Invite Them.

[Sinister Cat]

What if you already have 5 friends? As in they have played the game before me, and even posted scores?
