The Assault of Pavlovo v1.00 - Multiplayer (Coop-36)

The Assault of Pavlovo

Map Discription

This map has been designed in such a way that every time you play it something different occurs, you virtually never meet the enemy in the same position as the time before. Replayability was a very important factor for us when we sat down to design the map, we achieved this by dividing the map into several patrol zones thus making the movements of the AI much more random and unpredictable, even for the designers. We also scripted the patrols to spawn in random quantities, between a minimum and maximum value, in their designated patrol zones. I think that it is also worth mentioning that supply crates containing vast ranges of weaponary and equipment are dropped from C130s at the beginning of the game to allow the player the choice of whatever armament he/she desires, the weponary you choose highly dictates the way in which you play the mission. The mission is able to accomodate up to 36 human players. I have never actually personally completed this mission, even in regular, before so that will give you an idea of the difficulty of this mission, it isnt for the faint hearted (a quick word of advice, grab a SMAW at the start of the game, you will need it).

Mission Objectives:

Command have issued you, and other force recon teams, with orders to secure and hold the small town of Pavlovo, north west of Chernogorsk. According to intelligence increasing numbers of Spetsnaz units have been spotted in the village and surrounding forests, suggesting the small town may be a retreat point for Russian forces. Expect heavy infantry and armour resistance.

Installation:

Extract the .pbo file(s) into your ArmA2\MPMissions folder.

Does this missioon include some kind of Revive functionality? How does it handle respawn?

[Brute 11]

The mission doesnt contain the ability for respawning or reviving, when you die you will automatically switch to an AI controlled group member. The first aid modules are also eabled so you will be able to heal teammates. I wanted to offer something a little more "hardcore" than the other maps out there where you can run in, die, and then respawn 30 seconds later and try again. I wanted the players to have to take it slowly and think tactically, and so far people really enjoy that factor of the mission.

I missed a bug in beta testing for v1.04 regarding the battlefield clearance module, i apologise, however i have released v1.05 that corrects this issue.
