Colonel Muhammad Rahim Aziz, the victor of the 1992 Takistan Civil War, captured and killed Britsh geologist Richard Stephen and his team as they conducted surveys along the Takistan-Karzeghistan border. In response to this, coupled with previous accusations of his peoples' oppression and slaughter, a United Nations peacekeeping force is deployed to the region to ensure no further civilian casualties. However, things quickly get out of hand, and what starts as a humanitarian crisis explodes into all-out war.

turin turambar 0 Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Without spoiling fully the campaign, could you talk about the type of missions used? Infantry grunt, squad leader, stealth, land vehicles, air vehicles, a mix? Edited May 11, 2011 by Turin Turambar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infantry grunk, squad leader, stealth, land vehicles, air vehicles, a mix? All missions are infantry, a couple of them have you leading men but they survive without active leadership.

sig 10 Posted May 11, 2011 Zipper5, I cant remember the name of the mission, buts its when you have two spec ops and you take out a shilka and free the hostage. At the end of the mission when you have complted all of the objectives and go to the completion point, the mission does not tell you if it has been completed.

Zorg_DK 10 Posted May 11, 2011 great campaign so far. nice cutscenes and good storyline. a possible bug report: in the beginning there's a cutscene where some rebels are blows up a tank and there's two trucks. that cutscene don't end. the two trucks just drive around a bit. i'm using ace.

Zipper5 74 Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks for the kind words, guys! :D Sig said: At the end of the mission when you have complted all of the objectives and go to the completion point, the mission does not tell you if it has been completed. Does that mean the mission doesn't end? Zorg_DK said: i'm using ace. Looking at the script for that cutscene, there's no condition or something similar that I can see that could perhaps cause the cutscene to stall. It should continue after a time period, no matter what's going on. Therefore, the only explanation for that problem I can think of is the quote above. Sorry. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stagler 39 Posted May 11, 2011 Just had a crack, on mission 5 now and im packing in for the night. Fucking splendid mate. - Did however have an error on the 3rd cutscene where the guy gets shot by the partisans. He didnt get shot the first time and just stood there. I had to restart the mission and it worked the second time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you also blow up the Arty and Radar? you have to move out of the AO, which is marked by the blue ring around the area.

I too get this, also Reveal hidden contents On Evacuation, I get to the scene where the Taki Militiaman is about to fire the RPG at the convoy, but he pulls it out then switches back to his AK, causing him to just sit there and for me to have to restart the mission as I can't skip it.

sig 10 Posted May 12, 2011 Quote Zipper 5. Does that mean the mission doesn't end? Yes, the mission doesn't finish. Also, when trying to capture the bin laden type terrorist, can you indicate where he is? There was a green icom in map, could that be him? If it was - he faded away and had to end mission. TOP campaign though :bounce3: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turin turambar 0 Posted May 12, 2011 At first the impression wasn't very good. The intro was drab, long, the first mission was boring, without action or tension, the plot too much in the background... But the campaign improves nicely. The 2nd and 3rd mission had some very nice firefights, the 4th was a good stealth mission with several objectives and the 5th mission promises some good combined action between armies, with some secondary stuff (ied, destroy a cache) to give variety and have a good sense of pace.
