I started in madagascar, and it took 25 days for it to finally send out a boat, and then another 12 days for it to actually get to it's destination, because it went to the east side of canada. Long story short, I need to restart.
What annoys me more than the detection system, which I don't seem to be having many problems with, is when I'm aiming for the hard badge and some of the enemies have random turning habits. You can't really aim for the gaps in the enemies when your jumping, when one could just randomly turn and close that gap.
For the medium badge, it seems like you just need to set up your character to be able to hit for that much damage, you don't actually need to hit anything.
