Am I doing anything wrong with the objective of Defending the U.S.S. California? My friend and I have shot down as many as 20 planes and we (or the ship) are still blown up. The game does not say the "USS California has been defended," like it does in single player mode. However, when I check the status screen , there is an "X" by the objective of defending the USS California. Is there a certain number of planes you have to shoot down in a certain number of minutes to successfully complete the objective?

Also, I tried playing the scenario again but this time I didn't attempt to shoot down any planes at all. We simply stood and watched and made no attempts to defend the ship. The ship is still blown up and there is an "X" by the objective of defeding the USS California.

What is going on? Is this supposed to happen?

Oh, and another problem... I stand in the fires and I lose health to a certain point but I won't die. I stand on the deck of the USS California with the limited amount of health, get shot at numerous times, and still can't die. What is going on?

Please help.

Thanks

You have to shoot at the torpedoes coming towards the ship too. this will prolong the level and you will be able to shoot more planes down and hopefully defend the California.

the ship always blows up in 1 player no matter what you do
