SP/coop missions/campaigns: a recommendation and a request

[Bahger 11]

Hey gents, I'd be interested to know if any of you have played this user-made (SP only) campaign for ArmA 2, "Chesty Puller" . I'm a couple of missions in and am very impressed indeed with the mission design, the mastery of ArmA scenario editing and the military authenticity. The dialogue is written in subtitles rather than spoken and suffers greatly from the fact that the designer, Bardosy, does not speak English as a first language, but for me the well-populated battlefield and high-fidelity simulation of Marine MEU ops is worth the price of admission alone.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend other user-made missions or campaigns for either SP or coop, that, like "Chesty Puller" meet the following criteria:

- tactics rather than cinematics

- not "four SpecOps against the world" scenarios

- emphasis on infantry, not air or armor except as support

- authentic small-unit OOBs, i.e. Marine MEUs or Army platoon-scale

- good implementation of force multipliers and indirect support, either arty or air

- military, territorial rather than over-scripted mission objectives, no need for extraneous "character" or "narrative" issues.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I play bennys warfare and CRCTI warfare as sp on lan, CRCTI still needs polishing but it really has a dynamic feel to it.

they are the only game modes that makes me feel like im part of something bigger... i just wish they could tweak a version for Single players, include some optional side missions etc

Thanks! I'll go looking for links, unless you have some handy.

Edit: NP, I found all the info.

Thanks for the headsup Bahger, gonna check the Chesty Puller, have you tried Seal Team Six ? Cool SP campaigns (three already released).

Many thanks, I may well try the Seal Team series but I must confess I am very leery of all the add-ons. Not because they are not great but because they can really complicate your life.

Yep but i had no issues here at all after many hours of gameplay - runs smooth as silk.

I am afraid there is only 1 Chesty Puller style campaign in the whole of ArmA2 now.

I am in the process of creating another one, platoon sized action all the way, anti-taliban. Still in the first mission though...heheheh... check it out at http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=94595

Keep us posted, Jason. "Chesty Puller", in my opinion, sets the standard that all SP scenario designers in ArmA should follow, it shows such deep understanding of the A2 Editor and it's authentically military. The mangled English subtitled briefings are its only weakness.
