Maybe this has been covered earlier in the thread, so if it has, I apologize.
i had the chance to play this a bit last night at a friend's house. Seems like a great game, and I've been contemplating the 360 purchase for a while. It's going to happen shortly.
However, my one complaint with the game was that all in game text seemed painfully small and hard to read. this was on a standard Def 27 inch tv, which is what I'll be playing it on. is there anyway to upsize this text? If not, this game will definitely have to wait until we make the jump to hd.

Nope. That is a known issue with the game and Capcom has no plans to fix it. Apparently they only play tested on HD sets.

well, I'm at the end (I think). I'm now faced with avoiding the special forces until my helicopter comes around.
I thought I was done for, but ran back and grabbed the propane tank and blew a couple of them away at the warehouse.
Now I have some nice guns
but now what? it seems like the helicopters isn't coming, as it is past 11 am. do I need to venture somewhere else?

ok .. I'm standing dead center of the helipad, and the cut scene with the pilot looking comes on, but he doesn't see me .. what did I do wrong?
edit: I should add that after he fails to see me - he gets eaten.

Do I need to go back to her? if so, how the heck am I going to do it with all the special forces dudes running around? I mean, I can clear them out of the werehouse from above, but then .....

Otherwise, I'd say you're SOL. yeah, I think you need to talk to her in that timeframe to activate the A ending. I could be way off...but I know I did talk to her, and I went to see her before hitting the helipad.

My strategy was a little different. The first run through, i didn't concentrate too much on the side missions and saving people. I wanted to get the A and true endings.

Where are you guys finding the mini chainsaws? Aren't they destructable like every other item?
I defeated Adam and took his and used them for a while, so where do you pick one up again. All I seem to find are the regular ones.

Also, if you are a sufficiently high level, either disembowel or pick them up and throw them for an instant kill.

I'm sure everyone has their own methods on leveling up but I thought I would share mine. Although it has probably already been posted.
From midnight to noon on the last day, just take out Special Ops guys in the warehouse from above. Use the propane tanks & machine guns. The A.I. is insanely stupid and they run around in circles on the floor never once firing up at you. I managed to level up 7 levels before the helicopter arrived. Much easier than hiking through the mall and dealing with them and zombies.
Which leads me to,
kind of sensitive placing is that? I stood on the roof and failed. I stood on the helipad and I failed. I guess I will try some more spots this evening.

Otherwise, you will get the ending which unlocks the overtime mode or the happy ending (if you saved 50 survivors). Also, if you get captured by the special forces, you will get a completely different ending.

The pilot decides it's not worth waiting ("when you're dead, you're dead" & the story never gets out) because he doesn't see me through his binoculars then he is attacked by a zombie. Nevermind the fact that I am standing on the helipad he landed on.
So one of the endings isn't actually leaving the mall by helicopter? Forget the extended modes, I thought that was the whole point of the game. In 72 hours be on the helipad or be left behind.
I got ending C & D so far. How many are there?
Also found a bizaare glitch in the acheivement system in regards to saves. I got the 3 day survivor, marathon man, and legendary soldier achievements/points in the period between midnight and noon on the last day. Well I ventured out into the mall and died. So I loaded my save game and I no longer had the achievements. Still had the points but not the achievement on the list page. Got them again easy enough but it was weird.

There are 6 endings, I think, the worst of which you haven't experienced. The trick to unlocking ending A is to complete all the case files, get the special forces cutscene several hours before the arrival of the chopper, be at Carlito's hideout at 10 A.M. for a cutscene, and making it to the helipad by noon. Then the story continues into Day 4.

That is what I thought, but the above poster and others on different fora kept mentioning some cutscene at 10 that you get when you go there and speak to Isabella. I was a little confused as I didn't see any cutscene at that point, just the text. But I did get my A and True endings.
