lightspeed_aust 681 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Some context for those that don't know me. I was a huge fan of Original Ghost Recon for years and made over 50 missions and 3 or 4 campaigns for Ghost Recon. I always loved infantry based combat and the GR style missions ( multiple objectives within the AO which could be completed in any order providing plenty of replayability). The Ghosts typically conduct operations behind enemy lines, are highly trained operatives specialising in sabotage, assassinations, SAR and stealthy infiltration missions. Obviously a ghost Recon got old and worn out, and Arma 2 then Arma 3 became the true successors. Since A3 rolled out I have created dozens of missions in various theatres of war and in this thread I will bring each of these campaigns to life. CSAT, ISIS, and Russians will be the primary antagonists. AGM mod for realism and the medical system. Missions to be added below for each of the campaigns: Operation: Spartan Shield Antagonist - CSAT forces. Operation: Black Dawn Antagonist - ISIS Crisis: Ukraine Antagonist - Russia / pro-Russian Rebels Edited May 23, 2015 by Lightspeed_aust 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PolyG 69 Posted December 12, 2014 Ditch Xmed and I'm game. AGM has its own system that works much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightspeed_aust 681 Posted December 12, 2014 Yeh as I said, I will leave pbos open to edit med system. Any MDer should b able to switch the system without fuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightspeed_aust 681 Posted December 15, 2014 First mission will roll out this week and approx. one per week (excluding xmas) after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardvarkdb 104 Posted December 15, 2014 Is it possible to switch between controlling different AI in Arma 3 like it was in OGR? Haven't done any mission related things in a lot time. I still play OGR, so looking forward to some missions with a similar play style in Arma 3! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightspeed_aust 681 Posted December 15, 2014 That would be SP and yes it was in A2 so should be in A3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variable 322 Posted December 15, 2014 Since A3 rolled out I have created dozens of missions in various theatres of war Did you??? Can you please publish them? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightspeed_aust 681 Posted December 16, 2014 I will, just updating them all to remove dependencies such as Alive. And to make sure issuing play perfect, they have all been played numerous times so I've been able to tweak them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightspeed_aust 681 Posted December 17, 2014 The most frustrating thing with mission making is trying to keep up with the mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cosmic10r 2331 Posted December 20, 2014 you guys remember the downed f 16 mission where you had to go the craft in the farmers fields and then you found out the pilots were being held in the farm nearby... Man... those were some great coop times with friends One time, me and 2 buddies planned out two entry points and I made a point of reminding them the side I would be on... breached the doors and we all go in... my buddy and I make eye contact and he sprays me immediately... down I go lol... over the radio I had to ask 'pretty sure we covered me coming in from that side didnt we'... my buddy... " i know... f#$k ... sorry man{in forlorn tone}" Good times :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 20, 2014 Really a great mission back than, but it was not an F-16. I think it was a hornet or a tomcat. Going silent was the best. Actually the default mission was pretty easy, but someone changed all default missions and made them really challenging (cant remember the name of that modder though). I will never forget all AS co-op tournaments we had, practising for them for weeks with the co-op crew. Certainly on that map we had some great missions. And it was a great map for PvP, specially if you were on that hilly side. Turkey shoot... Only with GR, Arma/OFP never gave that... but its a different game.....

malcom86 33 Posted December 24, 2014 I see myself yet playing this, with perhaps a 4-men team :) I loved GR Future Soldier, also if it was plain linear. The fire fights were great !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted January 15, 2015 So looking forward to this after all the goodness that Lightspeed delivered in A2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 763 Posted January 15, 2015 So... I'm guessing not anywhere yet to download? As for a request can you make it non-modded for the CSAT one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malcom86 33 Posted January 15, 2015 Can I suggest using only VA instead of VAS ? I find VAS like pretty useless since Virtual Arsenal came out...it's far more fast to use if you have many mods installed !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variable 322 Posted January 15, 2015 Can I suggest using only VA instead of VAS ?I find VAS like pretty useless since Virtual Arsenal came out...it's far more fast to use if you have many mods installed !! Why is that even required? Missions with VAS and the like are unrealistic, playing with what the mission maker designed for your role is the way to go. All that gun porn is sickening.

EricJ 763 Posted January 16, 2015 True but I don't spam the gun porn too much and frankly the MX leaves little to be desired. Granted in the real military you're stuck with what you got but overall VA/VAS is good because either way I step in, load out and go. All that unnecessary mingling I do prior to going on a mission back when I was in J-SERE, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malcom86 33 Posted January 16, 2015 Why is that even required? Missions with VAS and the like are unrealistic, playing with what the mission maker designed for your role is the way to go. All that gun porn is sickening. NO way I'm making the mission maker decide what I should carry on the mission, which is the most funny part !! XP Far from jokes, seeing the kind of mission (inspired to the Ghost Recon game) I agree with you: as the mission maker see the loadout of your role, so it should be. But having VA at the start of the mission could help to customize (and improve replayability of) the mission for whoever want to do it^^ Just in case you're playing with your group and you wish to use a custom equipment to simulate your personal Ghost unit (realistically simulating the officers decided for that loadout for that mission) :D !!
