"Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist."
George Carlin

I keep winding up having to recomplete missions I already remember doing.

I just finished the part (I think it's Dutch) where you have to hold off this elevated position with another ODST (forgot his name) and a couple marines from a couple waves of Covy and destroy the Wraith. Right after, the door behind you opens up and a police officer asks you for help with explosives. When that ends I go back to the Rookie and the beacon takes me back to the helmet in the screen... which, if I remember, is the first clue I found in the beginning of the game.

I restarted the previously mentioned mission to see if it was glitchy or whatever but the same thing happened. I said what the hell and kept playing anyway. But after I pulled the helmet out of the TV screen again and moved on to the next mission, I wound back up doing Dutch's or Butch's, or whoever's, don't remember, first mission again, which I also remembered doing already.

Any suggestions or explanations would be appreciated.

I tried that. There's two other beacons, yet when I go to them, I can't find anything. I hear the beeping but there's nothing there.

Those beacons glow gold and the one I'm being led to, the one where the helmet is that I already did, glows blue. Not sure if that helps or anything.

But why would the little markers lead me to the one beacon I already did?

OP- you won't be able to complete all the missions if you're loading up individual missions from the campaign menu. In order to progress through the whole story, you need to start a new campaign (from the main menu) and proceed on that same save state until the completion of the game. If you want to take a break, "save and quit," and then when you resume you MUST continue solo game from the main menu, NOT load up the mission you were on.

If you start the game from the beginning, you should see first the helmet, and at the completion of the first mission you'll see the uplift reserve beacon, etc.

You were following the blue waypoint isn't it?Well go to the map,search the NMPD HQ beacon on tha map,push with you A button on it or place a waypoint.Then follow it

I hope this helps

After looking at my objectives I realized only one of the boxes was checked. The third one I think. Somewhere along the lines I either didn't save properly or I restarted, but Dutch's Scorpion tank mission happened to stay saved. Erm.

I just replayed through everything.

Thanks for the help. Sorry for being such a novice. xp

I always give dutch the fuel rod cannon...and then go up top and use the sniper rifle.
