[WIP] ArmA2 Bootcamp

[jasonnoguchi 11]

Its after much thought that I have decided to make my first ArmA2 mission ever, a FULL and COMPREHENSIVE training bootcamp.

The problem with ArmA2 is a serious lack of DETAILED documentation on how to use the various weapons and gadgets ingame. In fact, I had to figure out how to use a javelin through countless missions and reverts! This shouldn't be the case. The bootcamp tutorials ingame also does nothing but introduce the key strokes which you can get straight out of the existing manual. It does nothing to train you as a soldier.

My ArmA2 bootcamp will come with specific training schools for each weapon / vehicle class as well as warfare training. Warfare is one show stopper for beginners playing the Harvest Red campaign without prior training. Each training will come with voice narration on the intricacies of using each weapon, including range estimation, aiming considerations and test scenarios.

It is still at conceptual stage. Any inputs and help would be appreciated. Voice actors and scripter help needed too.

Nice idea! The default bootcamp is rubbish, we could definately use a comprehensive training camp. Just a few quick questions, would you create the training 'camp' over several missions or just one big one? Also would you be using any addons such as a new island or ACE? I would gladly offer my service as a voice actor but my mic is broken at the moment, I can help with some basic scripting / testing if you need it though.

Just one BIG one. :) I would DEFINITELY need all the help I can get! :) Would you mind PM me your msn details please? Let us coordinate over msn. The idea is to build a huge camp on a small island (UTES being on my mind now) with different training schools located over the island. It should be playable with no mods on. The player can go to any of the training schools and then activate different training programs in each of these schools. There will be basic and advanced levels of training as well as tests to complete at each training school so I think its going to take some time. I am going to just going to do up the different schools and locations first and then do the scripting with whoever would volunteer to do this with me when that is completed.
