Guerilla Tatics!

[D.murphy man 0]

Hey guys! been a while since ive been back in the OFP comunity, but lately ive found my self having sudden urgeses to make OFP missions and play online so heres my latest offering!

The latest version of Guerilla Tatics! A pretty dynamic 'Behind enemy lines' resistance coop mission. For thoughs of you that missed out on the last version (it was a long while ago) heres a quote from the mission breif.

Quote[/b] ]

Tips

*You do not have the man power or the weaponary to engage the enemy for long, as soon as you engage an enemy force they'll likely call for pack up from local Armour or air support, it is advised that you and your squad stick to quick hit and run attacks and keep on the move.

*Advoid enemy helicopters patroling the skys inless you intend to bring them down, once they spot you they will call armour and other helicopters to your location.

*In many towns and bases there are Barracks marked with the soviet flag, these barracks will spawn a enemy group every time the last group from the same barracks has been destroyed. It is vital that you destroy every single one of these Barracks.

*There are a few enemy convoys roaming the island, our scouts report they are heavyly guarded but hold plenty of Ammo and supplies to be looted.

Story

You are the last remaining resistance force on the island! It is up to you to drive these forgien invaders from the mother land! good luck!

The Rienforcement truck is your mobile respawn vehicle, IT MUST NOT be destroyed!

You will begine at your Secret forest hide out, from here you must move out and clear the surrounding areas of enemy forces. When there is no more enemy troops in the area the area will turn green on your map, once every single last enemy force is destroyed you will have suceeded.

IMPORTANT - READ NOTES.

Concept, desgine, and made by Shell_Sh0ck, A.k.A D.murphy man of the BI Forums. Special Thanks to ])rStrangelove for making the scripts for the spawning groups from barracks and random patrolling.

Well i hope you all enjoy! Heres link Guerilla tatics yes yes i know its freewebs, sorry

Edit: Mirror 1 : clicky!

Mirror 2 (thanks burns!) : clicky!

Comments and suggestions welcomed.

edit: Last minute notes - its 8 player coop, but can be played single player with AI, i adivse starting a room in LAN if you plan on playing it single player as respawn will work.

Deja vu?

I think I've played this mission a long time ago.

[D.murphy man 0]

Yea like i said its an updated one, slightly more polished got respawn, few other minor changes.

[ag_smith 0]

Oh, ok, somehow I've missed the 'updated' part.

I remember it was quite enjoyable mission, I think I'm gonna give it a shot again.

[D.murphy man 0]

Cheers! Get back to me with feed back if you can

Ill go a bit deeper into the changes now since i didnt have time late last night whilese starting this topic. Any way this version has a added Respawn Truck, This truck is the vital part of the mission. it acts as a mobile spawn point but also is very vaunreble to Choppers and Tanks, making you have to think where your going to park it before attacking the enemy. If this is destroyed you will loose the mission.

I have also added areas to the map to help the players see if a certain area is occupied by the enemy or not, this should help with the tricky 'one last russian soldier on the island' type situation that you may experience towards the end of the mission.

Other smaller changes include one or two added med tents in a few towns and the addition of a playble medic to the players squad.

Also one last note i have is that this mission was designed with clans in mind, id imagine it being a very helpful training mission for clans in team building and organisation. Due to the fact that it requiers the scavanging of weapons and equipment from the enemy(organised convoy attacks), destracting tatics to allow a team member to take out the barracks whiles the AI soldiers are being engaged by other team members, and also retreating and hit'n'run tatics (tanks from surrounding areas are often called to rienforce the troops and convys you engage leading to your squad being swamped and truck destroyed)

I have yet to test this mission online with people so id much like it if some one could get back to me on how it plays in MP with a few people (and maybe invite me to come long and play! please! i have no friends )

Few extra tips ive learnt whiles playing single player LAN (solo no AI squad mates)are:

*at the begining in the forest hide out try to unload all of your mines,satchels, and RPG rockets in the ammo crates into your truck, this will save you a return trip back to base if you run out of any of the above as you have them all with you. dont worry about AK ammo theres already plenty on the truck and dead enemy troops.

*placing satchel charges next to the barracks is a great way to save RPGs for thoughs pesky tanks.

*If you see choppers or convoys moving along the roads in safe mode and are not engaged mark them on your map, it will come in handy as the choppers and convoys are on a set patroll route around the island.(Ambushes)

*Every time you die and respawn FIND YOUR EX BODY again, no need to waste precious ammo espesically if you was carrying rare and vaulble RPG ammo!

cheers! murphy

Hmm ok ive play tested it in MP and ive found that only on MP (online not lan) the spawned soldiers seem to attack the barracks they come from? which makes the whole barrack spawning thing pointless, the thing is i cant think why they do this?? let alone how to fix it! any one got a idea?

is the barracks an editor object from the enemy side?  

EDIT: played with it for a while on my own, fun mission..

Yea already thought of that, but they are under empty - Support. And plus they only do it in MP, Online..not in Lan or single player. So im pretty baffeld as to why there doing it.

Also cheers for the feedback

tested the mission on our server last week.

the concept is really interesting and the mission actually seems to work, but it lacks action imho.

we took our respawn vehicle and drove it southwards to sainte marie disembarked there and slowly advanced to chapoi. we met 2 bmp´s and about 7 soldiers in the town.

the soldiers weren´t a problem, but the bmp´s went crazy on our lawgunners too quickly..when they were dead we had no rpg´s left at respawn, kinda fucked up situation. i ordered everyone into the truck and drove it downhill not knowing that i was already chased by the 2 bmp´s. what then evolved was big fun for me because all the passengers were screamin their heads off on teamspeak while i tried to dodge the incoming fire  

we survived and got to cancon, there again, no enemies.

it was so boring that i declared cancon to our dethmatch arena, good fun..until 2 T72 and 2 BMP´s (most propably alarmed by us making noise) showed up    

edit: more engrished

[D.murphy man 0]

Thanks! So more action then? What like more troops and enemies in town? And yea once you run out of RPGs after a failed attack its time to hunt down some convoys . I might add some more convoys and maybe more oppertunitys to collect RPG's (Ammo dumps ect..) Also thinking of making the start place randomised.

[mr burns 133]

yay, more action

it doesn´t matter if we die allot since there seems to be unlimited respawn, and hiding the truck isn´t a problem.

wasn´t yet aware of the convoys, we´ll keep our eyes more open for it next time.

[D.murphy man 0]

He he looks like you guys didnt read the breifing then. Also the penelty for dieing is the loss of equipment on your prevoius body inless of course you can find your old body and retrive the equipment.
