No, you're Storm 1. They say it in a mission like right before the final mission that Storm 1 vanished after 2017 but rejoined EDF and is a member of Storm team. That's you.

And it's hinted at since at least the second venture into the caves when a guy claims the legendary hero saved him but no one else in the unit buys it. They get less skeptical as time goes on.

A PlayStation Vita version of the game was announced on June 5, 2012 as Earth Defense Force 3 Portable.[6] The new version will include both local and online co-operative play,[7] as well as the return of Palewing from Earth Defense Force 2.

More correctly though, canonically storm team 7 is made up of 1 of every class so you were just the back up.

The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.
Finally finished the game on Ranger. Holy poo poo 4000 damage sniper rifle I love you. The second half of the credits song had me giggling like an idiot.

Also fuuuuuck all those turrets. Dodging between buildings trying to avoid cannon fire and dragons trying to grab me while desperately reloading my next sniper shot. Still a worthy finish to the game.

After the game loads, right? That's happened to me once, and the people I was playing with had never experienced it. Sorry to hear it's so frequent for you :(

Does the host restarting fix it? Try sending a message to the host next time and see..when I did they didn't see it so I eventually just left.

There's only bullet sponge palette swapped enemies in the second one but there's enough mission variety to be worth it in my opinion. Mission 16 on the second dlc is hands down the best way to get armor and weapons but you have to be very careful on harder difficulties.

It's weird you say that as I was able to fight under the shields with no problems. Maybe you were too close to the edge.

Same here. I did get blown out of the shield by one of the hectors, dying to the air raid, still. I was so sad when they said slow moving objects can pass through the shields, and I thought "yes! Air Tortoise, it is your time to shine!" But, sadly, no.

Signed up for the PSN list but yeah I only just now made a PSN account for this game so I have zero idea what I am doing! I think I have a mic that works, it works in the menu anyway. I don't really bother signing in most of the time but I will hopefully try and get in on some action.

I got 1000/1000 Gamerscore in EDF 2017 :kamina: so I know what I am doing in-game for the most part. So far I've cleared 2525 on normal and part of hard as Ranger.

Air Raider is definitely a slow burn. The lack of a dependable/sustainable DPS seems like a problem throughout its lifetime though.

Also not sure how they cope with spider swarms on Hard+! They just destroy my vehicles and then me two seconds later.
