hmmmm... Are you sure you wern't just being shot

[SEAL84 0]

How they see me, I have no idea...next time I'm taking along an SR25 instead of the MP5...

My teammates are great at spotting and killing the enemy with a few well-placed shots - except for the terrorists who can shoot straight

Havent played an SP mission in ages but I think I'll give this one a go. Do the terrorists use JAM HD?

[SEAL84 0]

Nope, the AKs sounded like default BIS versions to me.

Damn, It would be better if they did I think but thats J-Mans choice. Anyone got a link for the terrorists, OFPEC and my computer dont get on

Just had a quick blast and I enjoyed the mission quite a bit.

We'll get the bad stuff out the way first

Lack of SD weapons = bad. Silence pistols would do me (even though I love the SigP226 )

The people joining my group automatically is annoying, I was going to leave the guard where he was and find the officer.

The Medipack thing in the action menu gets in the way, Delta's can heal temselves anyway so I dont really see the point of it anyway

Mission ending when the guard/ officer dies, couldnt you have multiple endings for different circumstances eg. Both survived, 1 survived etc. That would also make it replayable so people can find out what the other endings are

Im guessing extraction is by chopper (didnt get that far ). If it is, it would be better in the middle of a field or something, not at a cross road. If its by other means ignore this crap

Good shit -

You made me use the new deltas

Skip time - I liked to be able to choose when I started

I like the whole radio man thing aswell

All the fields place around life more easy when I was doing recce's and made me shit myself when I walked out right behind a patrol

Hi j-man,

Just played your excellent mission, I enjoyed it alot.

Here are my thoughts:

It would make a good co-op map if you had more terrorists and perhaps another objective or two to keep a co-op team occupied.

Completed after second attempt, fairly easy really if you take your time and use the sattelite camera to view and track the terrorists. (19 kills and no losses, all hostages secured in about an hours worth of play). Most of the team were equipped with MP5 aimpoints and one sniper with an SR-25 Rifle.

Was expecting terrorist reinforcements to arrive in vehicles as soon as I pulled the officer out of captivity,(paranoid) had some men guarding the roads in case, but sadly none arrived to be ambushed

There was no vehicle to come and pick us up at the extraction point, which I felt after all that effort in getting there, we deserved one at least...

On the whole I think its an enjoyable mission, no major bugs and the clear simple briefing was a bonus. Well done

I think I might have uploaded the wrong version of the mission But, i've uploaded the correct one now. The new version isn't very different from the previous. The main things are:

-Difficulty selection

-More enemies

-Random weather

I like the coop idea. i'll give give it a go.

I didn't add terrorist reinforcements at the house because I figured that the player would lose enough men while trying to enter the compound.

I didn't think a vehicle was all that necessary. I figured that ending the mission right there would fine.

@Munk

I didn't add any silenced guns for a reason. Alhough I can't remember now but I did add the MP5 cause it's the coolest gun ever.

And, thanks alot to both of you for trying out the mission

Lol how perceptive of you

I have a massive paper to finish but I plan on wrapping up this mission soon.

I think that it would be a good idea to add silenced sidearms though, that way you could carry a primary and use the sidearm for when you need to quickly dispose of a couple of guys.

Just completed it aswell. Was easy when I dropped all the sneaky bastard shit and went straight for the objectives. I was a bit pissed that I was able to just jump into a truck and drive to extraction, I was hoping to be ambushed on the road or something.

When the mission was tested at OFPEC, people complained that the run to the extraction zone was too long and that there should be a vehicle they could use.

Also, there are guys on the small hill just beofre the extraction, I figured that that would be enough.

[Munk 0]

Well the guys at OFPEC are lazy bastards who could do with the exercise

I'd expect to have a chopper come in low and fast, pick them up from close by and fly off. Would look great if done right

Hmm.... strange. It still seems to be working for me. Do you get an error message or something?
