Ikarus - New multiplayer gamemode ready for testing!

[anthall 10]

Hi.

I already posted this on the multiplayer forums, but thought this forum might be better fit. The mod is playable, but we need more players to test it. We are playing multiple nights a week. Generally on European timezones. So, if you are interested, please reply here or send me a PM.

Ikarus is a team vs team game mode without respawn, with a persistence layer managed in a web app.

What are we hoping to achieve?

The desperate one life per player, loot on the line feeling from DayZ.

Fast, straight to business gameplay like Battle Royale, but focused on team versus team instead of free for all.

Persistent progression managed with a web app, giving each team a continuing agenda, and each mission a feeling of going in to accomplish an objective as part of a larger campaign.

You can login with steam to the Ikarus web app. There you can manage your team: invite friends, change starting position, gear and such. When you want to play a game, you and your friends create a squad, select a mission and equipment, and enter into a server queue. When a server is free and enough teams are ready to play, slots will be reserved for your squad, and you will be given server details.

When you and a bunch of other teams join the ARMA mission, you will be moved to your selected starting location and given your selected equipment. Mission objectives will have been generated depending on the mission you chose. After you accomplish your mission, you will get to keep all equipment and vehicles you bring back to your starting location. They will show in the webapp, and you will be able to use them in subsequent missions. All the equipment you don’t bring back to the starting location, you will lose. If you get killed, you will be kicked from the server, as in Battle Royale.

Now, there will be other teams that are trying to accomplish the same objective as you, or will be in the area of operations doing something else. You can bet they are hostile, and that is where the fun is. Encounters around the objective will ensue, and you will get nice medium sized TvT matches with other teams.

Unless its an addon download, you were wrong. Its an MP game-mode so its better suited to the MP or User-made missions sections.
