I have the same problems, but then I'm useless at almost every driving  
game there is.

If I had to take out a hunter I used the crossbow and restocked from the  
sheds, mostly I'd try to either swing around and come in from the back to  
plant the bomb on the strider (then let the resistance deal with the  
hunters) or try to lob a bomb on the strider from a distance; not funny  
when the hunters target it mid-flight and destroy it, but when it worked...

BTW am I the only one that's annoyed that when you're in the base you can  
watch a lecture on the use of this great new weapon whose alternative mode  
is designed to take down hunters, yet you don't get given one?

Oh and for the record I too got really bored with this part of the  
episode; repetative and annoying. Not to mention the three crashes on the  
PS3 during this one stage mostly when I was tactically withdrawing from  
the three hunters all firing filaments at me.
