shiftydave 0 Posted May 16, 2006 CGbros currently a small group of friends who set out to create what we desire. With our first project creating a mod for the new Armed Assualt. We are in development of making a new experience of intense war and interactivity. With fully written story lines planned out before page after page. Campaign Overview. ‘Bloody Freedom’ The year is 2007. After long intense fighting for Iraqi Freedom, UK and US American forces start to send troops back home to their families. Elements of the 1st Battalion, The Parachute Regiment are still occupying some hostile areas of Iraq. Things have been pretty calm lately but there are rumours that the Syrian terrorist insurgents led by Al Tayyib are taking some revenge on the coalition forces in Northern Iraq, there are also unconfirmed rumours that they are being supported with weapons, armour and explosive devices by a Russian Smuggler group led by his somewhat friend Stanlislav Rustam. The Iraqi economy has not shown signs of improvement despite the fall of Sadaam almost 3 years ago, large military cutbacks have increased the support of subversive elements against the coalition forces and the situation is starting to become even worse... Just when the nation thought things couldn’t get any worse, Intel (Intelligence) recently discovered news that hostages being held by the henchmen of the roofless Al Tayyib. The UK and US American forces are now sending in men from 1st battalion into hell to retrieve all hostages from the hostile locations. Playing as a solider by the name of SGT Tommy Aktins, you have to lead your men into the thick of battle, rescue the hostages and protect them at all costs. Iraq is on a highly hostile state and retrieving the hostages will be a task for bravest men. Intel has recently receiving information on the where about of the terrorist Al Tayyib currently on the most wanted list and to be armed and dangerous. http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6309/camp4li.jpg Website under construction (will be posted on this topic) E-mail: pvtshifty@hotmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted May 16, 2006 Not the best of starts to be honest, it may be your first post but it doesn't take much to know the maximum image file size is 100kb, at over 6 times that your image is a little big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiftydave 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Sorry for the image size we have now instead posted a link to the image itself. thankyou for the support placebo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted May 16, 2006 im confused.. But sound interesting! that means exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ukraineboy 0 Posted May 16, 2006 So whats the hook? This just seems like an Operation Iraqi Freedom mod. Whats gonna make this better than other mods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted May 16, 2006 Sounds interesting. Hope it'll be released before the death of ArmA Btw, do you have any modding experience in the OFP engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiftydave 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Yes we have some experience with the OFP engine...of course we are awaiting news on the new features that are possible, most of our members have atleast 3 years experience using 3DS MAX and Maya and now we are currently getting into the use of Oxygen. We have created Characters, buildings for other mod makers in the past and now we think its time for ourself to release one for this new generation of game. We are willing to recruit anyone interested in our mod and that can help us with the project.

Sturmwolf 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Your story is set in Iraq, and unless we have another Desert Island with ArmA youll need a new isle. Why not say the ruthless Al Sayyib or what is to be taken out and currently hides on sahrani...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted May 16, 2006 There will be a good campaign, right? A mod is useless without a good campaign Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Once BIS don't have pics with Desert Cammo Vehicles i believe they will not make Desert Cammo Vehicles so from what i understand this mod will be running in IRAQ war so Desert Cammo Vehicles will be in => .: This will be a great idea! Will be used by most Fans for sure.. (if addons are good, ofcourse) hope they are and i bet they will! I vote YES with Lost Soldiers MOD! Good luck with work!

shiftydave 0 Posted May 16, 2006 yes this is a campaign with fully explained detailed missions to be confirmed later. The mod will also contain addons like new units created by us and then used in campaign, new tanks, jeeps and of course a new island, fully equiped with towns woods and other little surprises, the map is currently being planned and will be posted soon. We hope to recreate almost everything we can to make it as unique as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Title is very interesting! im very excited with this new Idea!! 10 points! Hope you guys work really nice on those new addons. When i get excited i do missions can't wait to build mission on IRAQ's Desert Addons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiftydave 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Yes we are using software such as 3ds and Oxygen when creating the vehicles and have models at the ready, screenshots will be provided as soon as they are finalised. Here is a sneak peak of an upcoming model that is very unusual for the time our campaign is based, however you will soon enough find out why it has been added to the 'Lost Soldiers' Campaign. click >>>> http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7726/springfield1pt.jpg click >>> http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/986/springfield8kg.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Due to earily stages we have not yet set a release date and details will be on our website as soon as its up, along with a forums for questions and requests. I have another question about the addons of that mod. (the Houses Especially) If ArmA uses the dynamic buildings (destructible building) will those houses from Lost Soldiers MOD be dynamic too? I don't know how this really works but i believe if ARMA uses destructible buildings you need their engine to start making buildings that can be destructed, correct me if im wrong? Lost Soldiers Mod Team could contact Bis so you can start already with it, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheEnforcer 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Yes we do hope to use dynamic buildings and we are currently looking for information on this. Once we recieve the information we need. We can then get started on really creating this dynamic buildings among other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can then get started on really creating this dynamic buildings among other things. weee... i really would like to make some missions with that Mod cause it sounds good and inspiring. when i imagine that IRAQ MOD (desert soldiers, desert vehicles, IRAQy citys, dust in the air etc..) i get inspired and excited Hope you guys have already a formed list of Units and vehicles for this mod. Community fans can also help you guys with ideas/units/vehicles/houses/trees/bush/etc.. for this promising great MOD (ARMA - LOST SOLDIERS Mod) edit: If your team what ideas, suggestions plz say here in this thread, i bet alot of people will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chipper 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Armed Assault will have sooo many mods even before it's released. Think about it. We have all this stuff from OFP that can "easily" be converted to ArmA. So once we get our sweaty hands on the demo I'm sure there will be ton of mods ready to work with the final retail version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
