Total Warfare (SP/Co-op)

I wanted to post my first Arma 3 mission, Total Warfare: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776356858.  Back in the day, I made a lot of missions for Operation Flashpoint - such as Petrovice Salient, Apache Assault and Operation Sharkeye - but haven't done anything since.

It's been fun to make although pretty time consuming due to the complexity of the mission and how rusty I was at scripting. Given that, I am happy that it's fairly polished. And whatever else it may be, it's not boring.

 

The goal was to put you into a large-scale and brutal assault in which you have a genuine sense of having to fight for every inch.  The downside of this sense of scale is that it's very resource-intensive.  Despite spending a lot of time optimizing it, it's unlikely you'll get buttery smooth framerates.

 

Happy to receive any criticisms/feedback.  My questions at the moment with it are:

  • Difficulty level - it's a hard mission, but I do not want to make it much easier as that lowers the intensity of the experience. As a compromise, there is revive (incl SP) but is that too much?
  • There is an occasional issue with the game hanging for a few seconds before resuming, sometimes multiple times.  This is caused by a script that ironically is intended to improve performance.  The script moves and activates enemy units as soon as you or another squad is in the area.  I assume the hanging is caused by the script disrupting the game's resource management - causing a temporary CPU overload.  If anyone knows how to fix this, would love to hear.

 

Total Warfare aims to give you the visceral experience of a large-scale, combined arms battle - a brutal urban engagement fought alongside other squads, with an unpredictable enemy, noise and explosions all around you, and unrelenting tension.


You're a leading FIA officer who's turned the tide against CSAT/AAF, forcing them to retreat to Kavala. Finally, NATO are joining the war and are launching a massive airborne operation to take the city. You'll be fighting alongside them, but first need to pave the way by taking out the enemy AA units.

I'd advise you to add one/few short videos to allow people to get a sense of the gameplay and scale easily.

Also 2d map view with some form of unit icons would help a good deal.

 

Beyond that a RHS/CUP/WW2/Vietnam version should help bring more exposure - depending on your technical implementation this may or may not be feasible.
