Recon Drill

[igor drukov 0]

Hey there -

With Recon Drill, you will be trained to jump behind lines and recon enemy forces without being detected.

The mission was designed with one goal in mind: to provide clans with an objective way of assessing a soldier's scouting and infiltrating competences.

A lot of people fancy themselves SpecOps, Forward Observers or Snipers - among the most sought-after roles, yet also among the most demanding ones.

With its unique "Recon Points" system, Recon Drill will sort the wheat from the chaff: only the best of the best will succeed.

The mission is both SP and MP: it provides slots for clan observers to watch the trainee in action, and even a second slot for an instructor to take the jump with the trainee.

Very interesting mission.

Just completed it and it was great fun. It took me a few attempts, but I was hooked from the first go so I had to keep trying until I beat it

Great mission

Sounds very dangerous, this mission!! I will test it as soon as possible!

Thanks, Igor!

[*] observers' slots for clan testing;

Hehe, sounds like a new standard "entrance examination" for clans!

I also enjoyed the stealth/recon challenge and I think this mission serves well as a testing tool for new clan members etc.

But for training purposes I would welcome an option to show the right solution after calculating the score. This way the candidates could actually learn from their mistakes and find the motivation to practise harder.
