Seize zones Kamenyy (SP)

[stiff 0]

The first mission of the SEIZE ZONES series for ArmA2.

Themes:

- USMC VS RFA

ABOUT THIS MISSION

There is no scenario in this mission.

It is a purpose though it enjoys the combat generated at random.

Plan tactically if you hope for victory in this mission.

Please know some principles to win.

TWO PRINCIPLES

1) If the number of construction of bunkers is little, the enemy's raid is also few.

2) The defense of the bunker where the construction position is far from the base is difficult.

About one

- Please make the construction of the bunker a minimum if it is non Hight-end PC.

- Please construct a lot of bunkers if you want the fierce battle.

About two

- The encounter with the enemy increases when the travel time to the bunker is long.

- The probability that the bunker is seized by the enemy increases.

- Do everything quickly.

Mission update

ArmedAssault.info Mirror and News:

We have also added this release to your personal author profile

If a release or contact information is missing, feel free to drop a PM, it will then be added.

[Scirrhus 10]

Been looking forward to a port of this to ARMA 2. Thanks Stiff :)

[Nazul 10]

Great stuff! I was hoping this would come to Arma2.

[Alex72 1]

Hey Stiff is back. :)

Nice to see your mission in ARMA2! Just a question: Is it easy to make this mission MP for 3 players? Like humans in that one team you play in SP. You plus 2 AI, and make it you plus 2 human players instead. And the leader has access to building bunkers and call airstrike etc only - just like now.

Anyway good to see you in ARMA2. Gonna go test this now, and im sure we will get a lot of fun stuff from you. :)

Alex

[Alex72 1]

Tested!

Was great fun as in ArmA1. Good job man.

However - healing is a bitch. We dont have ACE here yet so there is no way i can heal my guys in the field. Ofcourse its not far to a bunker to use medical system, but when i did - it did NOT heal my AI's. Maybe just a bug from your side or a ARMA2 bug. Not sure.

Can you not add a medic into the team? And if the bug is ARMA2 style - can we be able to create a field medic tent at bunkers? but only if the medic is alive maybe. What you think?

Alex

[Nazul 10]

Alex72, my squad were able to heal me and i could heal them, are you saying you couldnt at all? Then when i had reinforcements i had a medic in the squad and using the 'heal squad' at bunker worked on my team.

I think another location is needed Stiff, something with less long range visibilty. The action starts as soon as you get to the top of that hill. Somewhere on Chernarus maybe? The 2 towns of Sobor maybe, then you have some urban and some forests as well? FPS on Utes is so good tho. Or have the russians start on the other side completely, further apart on Utes?

I had mortar bunkers appear on map that were not there, 1 right next to my base.

Keep it up Stiff! (no pun intended...)

[gunzz 10]

the enemy puts up mortar bunkers and i go to take it down and theres nothing there, ever.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Good concept, iron out the bugs and it should be realy good. When I put up bunkers they never get fully secured.

[Nazul 10]

the enemy puts up mortar bunkers and i go to take it down and theres nothing there, ever.

There's a guy in the centre of bunker on the mortar, the mortar is really quite short, half a metre high. After you kill him the mortar will disappear within about 30secs. I've tried to use it and seems unusable, no way to aim properly, I haven't tried mortars in the game any other time so i don't know.

[gunzz 10]

there was no guy or mortar or anything. it said it was there i was right on it on the map and nothin

[stiff 0]

Hi, thanks for information.

-Medic is included in the reinforcement corps.

-First aid is effective for only a player team.

-There is ghost(nothing) outpost.

Alpha version includes a problem, sorry:D

Hi Alex72,

I do not have the intention to make an MP version. （For the moment）;)

[stiff 0]

Mission update.

The problem that occurred in the alpha version was solved.

Here is your place to die :)

[Nazul 10]

Thankyou Stiff! going to try this out now!

Just tested this for about 40mins.

-My reinforcements never came from menu "Force Reinforcements"

-Enemy building mortar bunkers next to my base, do they use the mortars?

-Did you think about moving the enemy base to south of Strelka so there is more distance between bases and then all of the island can be used.??

Edited July 7, 2009 by Nazul

[Alex72 1]

Some more distance would be good i agree.

When you really take over the whole area you see the enemy base spawn millions of enemies lol. They just pour out of the base tent in a never ending stream. Its a lot of action but feels wrong hehe. I thaught that when i controlled all the place with tons of bunkers i made so the enemy just could not even get out from their base tent, that the game would end to my favour but just kept going and going.

I dont know how to do it mate, but when the player have the whole area and dominating as hard as i did, the enemy should give up after some time.

Hope you get it sorted somehow and thanks for the update mate! Will test. :)

PS. I know the enemy will come hard when i have bunkers far from base and thats cool. But they never stopped and it was impossible to take the base because the enemy spawned in big groups every 5 seconds. Me with my reinforced team killed every squad that came out every 5 seconds and the game didnt stop. I couldnt do anything more. So either it is my fault (cant win like this by taking command over the whole area) and i MUST somehow take out the base. But that was impossible. No artillery works close to base so i couldnt do that either. So i can not just dominate the area for a while and win.

Thanks test :)

>Nazul

-My reinforcements never came from menu "Force Reinforcements"

It is likely to be blocked in the tent. This problem is painful.

-Enemy building mortar bunkers next to my base, do they use the mortars?

The type (AA,Mortar,Cannon) of the outpost changes by the situation. The type name is displayed in the marker. If enemy's position is recognized, mortar is indirectly attacked. The range of the attack is 200m. Mortar was not attacked directly in the test.

-Did you think about moving the enemy base to south of Strelka so there is more distance between bases and then all of the island can be used.??

I will reconsider the arrangement of the element.　Because the adjustment of the balance is needed when arrangement is changed, it will take time.

>Alex72

-spawn millions of enemies

It is difficult to make the standard of the change in enemy's offensive power and defense power. There are variously a lot of worries because the condition in geographical features and the building also influences this. I will grapple with this task after solving other problems.

If arrangement is changed into the long distance, this problem will be eased a little.;)

[kremator 1065]

stiff,

An MP compatible version would be SUPERB ! Perhaps something for the medium/long term ?

Keep up the good work.

[Alex72 1]

Hi Stiff!

After introducing the first aid module its great. However i think you need more medics. Example is when i got hurt real bad and needed medic and the only AI medic on tha map was coming for me. He was shot 10 meters from me and now he needed a medic lol. It shouldnt be millions of medics ofcourse, but i had called for that air support where 2 big teams was dropped off and i could use command to make them move. They seemed to have only 1 medic for both teams. Maybe add 1 medic for each team at least. Plus a medic in players squad. There is still big chance they all die hehe.

So i just played and again i dominated the whole map - after a lot of work! phew :) - and all i see is the enemy base tent pouring out enemies and little chance for me to take it out. I mean how am i to take it out? With enemies spawning out from the tent all the time i never have time to take it out. I have to shoot and shoot and shoot at new enemies all the time.

Isnt it possible to have "domination" condition? Maybe for later version? Like if you have taken away all bunkers from enemy and you are all over the area - enemy have no chance to get strong again - it should start some timer and give win to player.

Just an idea mate. I enjoy this game a lot. One of the best SP missions in terms of fast fun big action. ;)

+Also this last battle i got 1 squad member dead and when i clicked to get reinforced (need 3 to build etc) they never came. I waited for them close so i know they werent killed.

+Many times like in ArmA1 when i do things at flag it sends the air taxi. Dont know why.

+The sky in ARMA2 in this mission is weird man. It flickers and if you zoom at some angles it change the sky from clouds to clear sky. Never happens in the editor or other missions. Dont say its your fault mate, but maybe some bug when determine weather through scripts for now. Who knows. Nothing serious though ofcourse.

Keep the great work up man!

Alex

[kizersan 10]

hey im really loving this map but i cant seem to be able to do the basics such as increase my squad size to the 8 i dont get an option to do so and also i can build a tent ? ive only been able to build one extra bunker and thats it ?

so i wasnt able to call in artillery or fast air

can anyone give me some insight into how to do this

[stiff 0]

Mission update.

The battlefield was expanded, and a new rule for the conclusion was made.

I think that I can prevent the combat from continuing through all eternity by this rule. :)

Hi, kizersan

1) The tent can be made if there are two bunkers or more within 50 meters.

2) When the tent is constructed, the option of the air assault and the artillery can be requested by the action menu.

3) In the commander map, the soldier who arrives by air assault can order it.

*The number of soldiers of the player team cannot be increased. (max 8)

OK?

[Nazul 10]

Thanks for new version.

The distance is good now, smaller fire fights instead of the massive war that was going on.

Tried to use 'emergency medicine' at flag and got a missing sciprt error "medic.sqs" i think it was. So that didnt work.

Force reinforcements didnt work for me again.

[stiff 0]

Tried to use 'emergency medicine' at flag and got a missing sciprt error "medic.sqs" i think it was. So that didnt work.

It corrected it. (v1.21 Beta)

Force reinforcements didnt work for me again.

After requesting reinforcement, can you after a while see "Reinforcements: * units" (marker) in the map?　And, where was the requested bunker?

[Alex72 1]

Thanks for the update!

I probably know the answer to this one and i know you dont have plans for a MP version, but would a lot of scripts and so on have to be redone if you would make it MP?

Again thanks for the updates. Great mission.

Alex

[twisted 128]

this is great fun. cheers. I hope you continue and push this further as it has so much potential as it is very enjoyable right now!

Alex

I think that there is not the big change.

This mission continuously mass-produces the AI soldier at a short cycle. As for this, the network traffic increases more than a usual Coop type mission.

Because the work of the server is busy even if the client is few, the optimistic expectation cannot be done. :(

Anyway, the top of my to-do list is completion of SP.:)

>twisted

hi, I will give the player a severe duty more. :D

[kizersan 10]

yh thanks for the reply i know that you have to create a tent with two bunkers within 50 metres and i try and do this but it keeps popping up with the message like i had 5 bunkers within 15 metres and i couldnt build a tent ? :/
