Assault Pustoshka SP

Assault Pustoshka version 1.2

Addons needed: None

Installation: As usual. Unpack and put the pbo to your arma 2 missions folder

This is my first ever created mission for Arma 2 so don't kill me if you don't like it or it feels like it's made by a total amateur. It is. :)

It's simple assault mission with artillery available if you like. Also small tank platoon and 2 other infantry squads will be joining the assault.

If it feels too easy, it's because i wanted it to be authentic. You know when US assaults it's always massive force that does the job. 100-1 ;)

Feel free to comment. I'll be adding things to it whenever i have time.

I just updated the mission so it's now a little harder if you don't use artillery massively.

Cheers mate. Ill give this a try...

Enjoyed this one although the arty wasnt available & those two M1A1's had pretty much wiped out all enemies by the time I reached the town! :)

Strange. You didn't had the radio in map screen to call artillery guys ?

those two M1A1's had pretty much wiped out all enemies by the time I reached the town!

Try the 0.3 version. It's gives more challenge and there's one nasty "thing" that can wipe all tanks before they even reach town gates. It happened to me. ;)

It just seems this mission plays differently every time so it's really hard to adjust things. Guess this is the best part of BIS engine. But i'll try something...

I'll be improving the mission whenever i have time. I'm just learning the capabilities of Arma 2 editor.

Thanks all, for the feedback.

I´m atm not shure played version 1.0 or 1.1, have to check this out at afternoon. But I remember i see the overview so it seems to be 1.1

The "all enemey died before i reach the town"-thing was happend to me the first time i played. But i thought maybe its why i played with 1.03 beta so i tryied again without beta-patch. Next time it was more chalenging but i´m not shure if it is the beta-patch or not. It seems (like you wrote) everytime the mission starts its a little bit diffrent kind of way it goes.

Its a nice little mission and for the first mission from you its a good beginning. Maybe you can improve some of the following facts:

- tasks; i see the map before the mission starts, but i see no tasks, if i start the mission after a second or two the task and diary is shown. Please make the briefing is shown before the mission starts

- all in all a briefing should give more informations about the situation, reinforcements, possible count of enemy etc.

- you should start the attack of the ofter squads by a trigger (or radio command), if the player is near the town

- more atmosphere by adding environment sounds, music (at the right moment), a fly by aircraft and so on...

- intro and outro cutscenes

Mission ends after successful attack on enemy units (running to Pustoshka) near Vybor.

Thanks for the feedback.

Now in ver. 1.1 there is briefing at the start giving some info about the situation and using artillery.

Yes this really is my first mission and i have to say i really haven't had the time to study much of the editor. But i'm definetly going to. I have played BIS games since 2001, but i never did anything with the editor except play around with units. Now i thought that why not try something myself.

First in my list that i'm going to learn would be adding proper tasks and better triggers to mission and so on. I'll update the mission after i have learned more. Can't tell any time line, other than "when it's ready". :)

I decided to add those needed triggers to my first mission ever finally. :)

There is some other changes too, but the assault part goes pretty much like it was before.

changeLog V1.2

- Added triggers so that you can decide when to use extra firepower.

- Added one track music

- Added air units

[Relemar 10]

Sorry. I forgot to delete vop sound mod from addons list. I uploaded new file to filefront. Armoholic link updated later.

How i'm supposed to know if you haven't released it ever ? Strange that you didn't mention it when i released this mission in the first place. See first post date.

And i'm pretty sure lot's of other people too have made this kind of assault missions. I don't get what you're after here.

Good to hear, downloading now, will try later !

Nothing is as tense as advancing across open spaces while under inaccurate fire from long range. I couldn't seem to find who was shooting at me, and the rounds were almost spent so they just kicked up dust and made small whining noises as they hit the ground at our feet. Plenty of wounds, though.

Edit: So yeah, a fun playthrough.

Sounds like your play style is just right for this mission.

I put the song "bulletproof" to inspire players to commit suicidal runs to Pustoshka. :D

I released on Armaholic, it was called the same as yours and was released just after arma 2 came out

Then post the link cause i didn't find your mission at armaholic and i don't remember your mission. I check new missions at armaholic almost daily basis and have done that since german Arma2 got released. Also as far as i know Armaholic don't delete old missions ever from the website.

If anyone else remember this guys mission feel free to comment.

It seems you're just bullshitting here on my thread because you fail to show some proof or any details whatsoever.

Only thing in this mission has that isn't mine is how the artillery works and song in the start. Someone from OFPEC uploaded a arty test mission that people could use it freely in their own missions.

I just don't get why someone would want to claim someone elses mission as their own. Exspecially if the mission is nothing spectacular like mine missions. All my missions are pretty simple compared to many other.

So i'm guessing you have some kind of mental problems because i can't think of any other reasonable cause.
