Each mission is played with a 4 man team! Player is the team leader. Stealth is the key! You will need some knowledge on how to control your team members in order to successfully complete objectives Make sure you play the mission on "veteran" difficulty To make the AI more chalenging go to your \documents\ArmA2\profile and set class veteran to: skillFriendly=1; skillEnemy=0.7; precisionFriendly=0.9; precisionEnemy=0.5; /////////how accurate will the enemy be Bonus Features Mission has custom "Color Filter" You can access the bonus features with a radio command by pressing 0-0 Mission was not design for ACE mod so if you play it using ACE mod mission might be out of balance! Usually if i play with ACE mod i enable "SuperAI" because the AI in ACE mod tend to be slower in reaction and weapon accuracy do to recoil of the weapon!

orcinus 121 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) See later posts. Sendspace has apparently been hacked but has cleaned this link & is probably running full checks. To be on the safe side, I uploaded the file to Virus Total which gave it a clean bill of health on all 55 engines, analysis result here Minor correction: the original redirect was to a site called coolina.org. Adding that to my hosts file as well. WARNING: That Sendspace link redirects the user to a site called coolina.com. McAffee site adviser immediately flashed up a warning that the site was risky. I hit "Block download" but the file had already downloaded. It turns out to be an 8.5 MB file called "Ghost recon Missions.rar.exe" The dual extension is a classic malware installation ploy destined to trap people who haven't turned off M$'s imbecilic "Block extension for known file types" default. Asking OP and/or moderators to remove link from the first post until this can be checked out. Sendspace may have been hacked. Also contacting Sendspace. Edit: though the Firefox download list showed it as 8.5 MB, when I opened the folder the file was 0 bytes. Well done McAffee, but that meant I couldn't upload it to Jotti, VirusTotal & co. I have warned Sendspace via the contact form that the site may have been compromised. Hmm, just tried it again and got redirected to another site: "http://fasternated.org/v34?installer_file_name[remainder deleted by Orc - it ended with the same filename with the rar.exe dual extension]" Clearly labelled as an installer. McAffee blocked it. Edited January 5, 2015 by Orcinus Additional information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser 776 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not getting any redirection.The download link takes me to a 10.95MB file named "Ghost recon missions.rar". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orcinus 121 Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks for checking. Confirmed - I just tried again & got the correct file. The page now looks & behaves differently, Sendspace must have cleaned it up very quickly after I contacted them. Will inform moderators to that effect. Both fasternated.org and, especially, coolina.com are flagged on Virus Total as hosting (wittingly or not) a number of dodgy files inclusing some that attempt to communicate out of a sandboxed machine but are not detected by the various AV engines. The sites are now going into my Windows hosts file to block them permanently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 623 Posted January 5, 2015 Will test this once I can find the time. Very good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orcinus 121 Posted January 5, 2015 Well, any site can get hacked these days. Armaholic is always a good place to upload - the best non-BIS site of all IMO, though others like OFPEC are also great. Foxhound & his colleagues are an invaluable asset. One point - if you are going to include other people's work do make sure that you aren't breaching their licence - someauthors restrict hosting/redistribution. It's always a good idea to confirm with the authors by PM first as well as being polite & a way of offering them positive feedback on their work. Looking forward to trying this out at the weekend. Thanks for making the missions & glad that no-one seems to have been caught out by the hack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirectorsCut 10 Posted January 24, 2015 I added gameplay videos of all 3 mission! Check the top of the page! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted January 26, 2015 Great work. Thanks for keeping it light on the required addons? I also recommend hosting this on Armaholic. BTW any chance that you could convert these missions into COOP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big 0 Posted January 26, 2015 It's already on armaholic. I sent the author a PM on January 4th, not sure he checked it: Armaholic mirror: - Ghost Recon - Mission pack (@) Regards, Big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirectorsCut 10 Posted January 28, 2015 BTW any chance that you could convert these missions into COOP? Well i could convert, but right now i'm kinda short on free time! Maybe some time later! Some things would need testing online (not possible for me right now) since scripts work a bit different when in multiplayer and i suck at scripting (know some basic, enough to make a decent mission) If i do that probably would make it ACE compatible!

Knaller 10 Posted March 18, 2015 COOP-support with ACE-compatibility would be absolutly awesome! I am an old Ghost Recon 1-fan ... still one of the best games:) I am looking forward to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vitamin 18 Posted April 23, 2015 Thank you very much for those missions. I hope you will release some more in the future. BTW, link to Mercenaries addon is wrong - it should be these one instead: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13732 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mathias_eichinger 64 Posted March 15, 2018 Missing addon: bb_oa_mercs. Looks like one needs the Operation Arrowhead version of Schnapsdrosels Mercs. Escort Service is suffering from serious pathfinding issues. Under the hood, it's a solid BlackOps mission, but my team gets stuck in prone position well before the bridge landing, and the pilot does not move out of his corner in his barn. Not sure if it's Podagorsk, but that's a major letdown. Red Ball Express has a nice firefight and a classic objective with a little different setup, but exfil and infil are rather boring. Average mission in my eyes. The 3rd mission "Sky Something...." was a pretty tedious affair. At the first objective you had enemies appearing out of thin air which proved to be a very hard challenge, and the last objective had the same problem. If that would have been toned down just a bit, this would have turned out as a nicely challenging and well made mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
