First Mission in Campaign - Stuck on the Airstrip

[Maximum Ed-Boy]

Wondering if I'm the only one who's experienced this, but on the first mission, right after Hall comes out and kills the truck, you have to fight your way up the airstrip to a comms building.

Unfortunately, me and my friends made it to the building, only for Hendriks to not do a damn thing, and for a VTOL to come out of nowhere and harass us for about ten minutes. Unfortunately again, the VTOL was either invulnerable or had so much health that we couldn't kill it from full ammo, and we got stuck with it targeting only one of us. Luckily, he hid behind a box and the VTOL decided that he was still the prime target, giving me time to try and find a solution. Unluckily, I didn't even find anything that remotes to this bug remotely.

tl;dr - Has anybody else's game bugged out at the Airstrip and had to fight the VTOL from hell? Mine sure did.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see if the problem happened again as one of my friends lost all paitence and left. I guess thats one way to do it though.

Judging from the fact that it was invulnerable and insisted on only targeting one person, I can only assume there's a part in the comms building wher eit shoots through the windows or something. It was never meant to be fought to begin with. The friendly AI didn't even acknowledge it's presence at all.

9 months later this bug still hasn't been fixed. Just had it happen to me and looked it up and came across this thread. *sigh*

Just restart the mission? I played it for the second time a few weeks ago and I had no such issue so it probably glitched out. I had a scripting issue in another mission and restarting the checkpoint fixed it.

Still an issue never fixed also im playing through on realistic so restart is crap but i guess thats the way it is....

It never gets fixed. I just bought the game and stuck there.

Only the best AAA quality from Treyarch then. No suprises here. Also nice necro.

CAN CONFIRM!!! SAVE & QUIT FROM THE MENU FIXES THIS. You will know it's working if there are 4 dudes with you at the hotel door after the bridge is blown up.
