I'd absolutely echo what @iwashcroft and @slaegar recommended. Hit the Yellow missions when they pop up and stick to the Side Ops until the next comes around. I worked through the Extreme and Subsistence missions and it absolutely ruined Chapter 2 for me and tarnished my feeling of the game overall. But as Dan said, there is absolutely stuff worth seeing, the resolution with Huey and the Hospital at the very least.
When @drew is auto-assigning his staff, he's only doing it on the list of Combat staff, not all staff. But I don't know how people actually try to get useful tips to him or @danryckert. Anyone had any success with it? I know it's not a big deal, but thought it was worth sharing?
