Conquer/Control/Collapse

by Panicsferd

Description:

Conquer/Control/Collapse

Summary: Unknown forces have invaded chernarus, they have begone to conquer all in their path. It did not take long for the enemy faction to gain control over Chernarus and force the remaining marines on Chernarus to flee to the NATO HQ on Stratis. After regrouping at the NATO HQ on Stratis the NATO forces then come up with a plan to take the fight to the unknown forces homeland to collapse their regime and end the war.

This is a three part custom campaign, it is 100% done and all of the campaign files for all of the three parts are available below.

Global Backstory:

It has been five long years since the events of Stratis/Altis and the surrendering of the Altis Armed Forces, after the AAF's downfall the former members of the FIA became the new AAF and now have control over Altis. NATO forces that were stationed on Altis returned back to Stratis, some went back to stateside where others stayed at Stratis so that NATO will still have a foothold in the mediterean sea to survey the area and be quick to react if CSAT would ever resurface again.

It was then on a Thursday, October 11th, 2040. When strange aircraft was spotted off the coast of Chernarus by a local fisherman, what happened next was explosions were heard all across Chernarus. Chernarus was being invaded by some unknown force and the USMC/CDF forces stationed there stood no chance against a better equiped army - Conquer starts here.

Part 1: Conquer

Summary: Follow the story of Sgt. Andrew Jackson, a US marine stationed on Chernarus during the invasion of Chernarus.

Part 2: Control

Summary: Continues from Part 1 - Control. Follow the stories of Lt. Daniel Williams stationed on Stratis, and Sgt. David Anderson stationed on Takistan.

Part 3: Collapse

Summary: Continues from Part 2 - Control. Follow the story of Lt. Williams on a NATO mission to collapse the CSAT regime.

I am not quite sure what could be wrong with the above photos, but I think a problem with the Anti-Air not showing up is that the player is suppose to hit a trigger that makes the AAs visable. I think you must have bypassed or missed a trigger.

I noticed to that one of the recent arma 3 updates caused all sorts of errors in my campaign, a lot of messages were popping up and even the campaign when firing any of the custom weapons all of the sounds are muted and not working.

I even updated my mod version and I do not think that fixed anything. I think I will have to wait for the addon makers to update/fix their addons so that they work with the current version of arma 3.

Hey Panicsferd, most of the mods you´ve used on your Campaigns are already updated (so mustn´t trigger sound errors anymore) but any scripts you´ve used may have been FUBARed cus BIS messed up a lot of old triggers, changing their codes =P

Gotta play it again and see if I have any issues, as I´ve all y mods updated!

cheers!

I tried the first mission via Steam subscription, it is called "Invasion Central". Is this a campaign that is made of just 3 missions? Then the whole load of addons is hard to justify, and the mission in question features nothing more than a bit show of combat and a pitch black firefight.

 

Control Mission 1 "Prologue" cannot be played due to a deleted jsrs2-amv marshal file, despite having JSRS mod installed as listed in the links available on the misson's Steam entry.

 

I tried the Control campaign v.1.14 off mediafire.

The first mission I already tried on steam, the second mission has plenty of action, and fairly well distributed save points, but the whole background story is a bit weird.... a base in a country that is obviously hostile to the US, then sending just 2 squads to help that hostile force, which is battling super soldiers from the future (CSAT)... I could not suspend my disbelief. The mission did not end as the extraction helo never came.

The third mission also has plenty of action and well placed saves, yet the same problem at the end, it simply does not end.

 

The 4th mission is too dark - I really need NVG's so I have very high losses in encountering that patrol. The rest of the mission is good though and does end properly, so I won't spoil the rest of it.

The 5th mission is in general a good idea, but simply impossible to beat because the tanks are rolling too fast and always mow me and my squad down. I remember an original OFP mission with that same premise that executed this scenario perfectly. The enemy needs just a bit of delay to allow the mission to function as intended.

The 6th mission is a short, transitional mission that features one ambush only, but it works and ends.

The 7th mission overdoes the enemy onslaught. First, the player is put into total open ground devoid of any cover or concealment, and secondly, there are so many enemies and bullets in the air, that they always get you while crawling to the "Fall back" waypoint. Had to cheat-end the mission.

The 8th and last mission is basically just an in-game end credits mission and could have been done as an outro as well.
