A couple of interesting things I found out today. One, that there are Enemy Resource Convoys, and then there are
Heavily Armed Enemy Resource Convoys (that's what the voiceover actually called it). And yeah, they are a challenge. Luckily I had a friendly patrol nearby and so it turned into a real donnybrook before I finally wiped them out.
Next, I was going down an alley and came across a friendly patrol fighting an armored, named elite. I started shooting at him and causing some real damage. He turned away from me, ran up to a building,
and opened a door and ran inside ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon/eek.gif)
. I tried to follow him in but the door wouldn't open for me. Now that just hardly seems fair
By the time I played yet another side mission yesterday I was really tired of missions in general and thought I might be giving up the game. This evening however I had some time to play so I fired up the game and moved to the White House. I had two safe houses I hadn't unlocked, one way to the west, one way to the east, and so I decided I would mosey over to the one in the west like a real western sheriff, checking in at control points and settlements, taking down any bad guys and in general doing activities. And snooping into places I hadn't seen before. I did that for a couple of hours and it was really fun. I did take down enemy control points and capture SHD caches and if there were any of the red named activities I got involved in those, but otherwise I was just moseying around, saying hi to the school marm and wishing there were some saloons open
So I've reached level 27 after 51 hours and even with the moseying around (I'm really starting to like that word
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)
) I'm probably going to stop as soon as I've seen the big sights in DC like the Lincoln Memorial and unlocked the rest of the safe houses and captured the rest of the control points. Whether I do like Coop has done and progress into the post-campaign content will just depend.
