Lemons Optional Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hey guys just wondering if you have to complete these stupid missions as they unlock or can I do them after I finish the campaign? Cheers, Dylam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrenpaul Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 You can do them after you finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemons Optional Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 You can do them after you finish Thanks for the reply mate. If I don't do these will it prevent me from getting the "complete the campaign on veteran" achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matictac Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 What achievements are they actually needed for? These missions are the most poorly constructed thing I have ever seen. If you're not controlling a unit, they're fucking useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not controlling a unit, they're fucking useless. All I know they are tied to 4-5 achievements. I tried one on veteran and it was a bitch... I'm hoping I can finish the campaign on veteran and then just do these god damn stupid strike force missions on easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoMUFC Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Worst addition to black ops they have done, spoilt what is a good campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifury vv Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 No you will be fine. I can confirm that, I didn't do SF missions and unlocked game complete achievements, i think they are an optional extra towards the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azGRIMES Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Are there any separate achievements for beating each SF? I can't tell which ones are story and which are SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberPirateNinja Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Just tried my first one of these, I'm not a fan, put me off the entire game completely. Turned it off and went back to Forza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KutleryKing Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hated them at first, but then realized they weren't mandatory so I said screw it. The story so far is awesome by the way, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVodka Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I don't quite get these yet, as I failed on veteran and it told me I was out of teams. Now it says the missions are available for 3 more campaign levels only. I hate RTS games, but can do them. It was just trying them in veteran first that was hard. If they're not essential to the campaign, I'll stop worrying about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EquiinoX Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 some of them do tie in with the story, Effects the ending I believe.. and you get a time limit on how long you have before the dissapear. Some are actually quite decent. the later missions are way more fun that the 1st, so don't be put off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberPirateNinja Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 So I can fail them, and still get the vet achievement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 So I can fail them, and still get the vet achievement? Yes, you can. In fact, you can fail them and still get the Ten K achievement for 10,000 points on every level, if you are playing on a harder difficulty. I failed two of them and got over 28,000 on each, when I was done with the campaign I just went back and did them on Regular to get the achievements for beating them. The thing that does suck about the Strike Force missions - they still count all of the challenges. So if you are like me and find the Strike Force missions difficult and borderline maddening, it is going to suck going for all the challenges tl:dr - Yes, you can fail them, or even ignore them completely, and still get the Veteran achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberPirateNinja Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Cheers for clearing that up! Goddam they suck, they are not a good addition IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrliadiere Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yeah, worst addition to a franchise since the tower defence in AC Revelations. I was going out of my way to avoid ever having to do those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedChuva Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Worst addition to black ops they have done, spoilt what is a good campaign A-fucking-men to that. I utterly HATE this RTS boring bullshit SO much. GUH! Thank G-D you don't have to do them, cause if you did, this game would be traded in tomorrow. Love the game so far, these STUPID things aside.

Same here, when i got to the first strike force mission, i thought wtf i really hate the rts style game's, what's happened to cod, quit out of game and thought trade-in, but then gave it another go and after that level i saw you could skip them, and then it did not seem as bad, but i didn't think 1000G will be done.....

iBuzz7S Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Maybe for like, 40 seconds, I had a rage fit and started swearing out loudly. I was so confused as to what happened and why I could not progress. Turns out that is how it is supposed to be. I got stuck on the one on FOB Spectre. Tried to camp it out but didn't last too long.

Bunglist Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I admire them for trying something new, but the strike force missions are woeful. I have no idea why they kept them in the game. The AI is completely useless, the only way to complete them, even on easy settings, is to take control and run through it yourself. Kinda seems to defeat the purpose of the whole thing.

EngagedMetal7 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I liked them, wished they were more challenging, except for the first stupid one in india... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanH Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I liked them, wished they were more challenging, except for the first stupid one in india... Seriously?! I'm a PC RTS fan (Starcraft, Command & Conquer, Company of Heroes) and the Strike Missions are really bad, especially the AI. Even Battleship's RTS part is good compared to this.
