I just played the original mission. Although I just got one kill, it went all well. the Jackal survived as well as most of my squad. I had to fire suppress a lot, but that was my job, I guess. I cannot really understand the bad remarks about the original Morning Dew mission. :confused:

I'm a big STALKER-fan and your campaigns look very interesting to me. one question: is it possible to play any of it in MP, just like Harvest Red?

as my search did not turn up anything, please tell me. I tried to find it out by making a special mission, but I got mixed results. so I'm pretty much lost at this one, now.

oh, this is a bit disappointing, indeed. but I surely will try out those smoke mods. thanx, guys!

yes indeed. wouldn't it be hilarious, if you could find those keys in one of the buildings.

exactly. if you order him next to you, you need a 2nd command to return him into formation. it should work with one single command.

wow! could you send me the mission-file? I could make some fun coop mission out of it in no time. perhaps a special merc unit can make the difference... kylroy at gmx.de

you also should have gotten a new desktop icon, which starts QG.

2. I finished the ArmA campaign yesterday. I liked it and had no problems whatsoever. it wasn't too hard, but fun and I don't understand all the fuzz about it.

btw. am I wrong or do 203 smoke grenades not work?

I'm impressed. is there any tactical value in this effect?

I usually don't do it, and out of reason. you are right.

wasn't this picture posted in context of mercs? so I assumed he was one.

got it yesterday. I just adore merc stuff...

I guess you havent worked with any mercs IRL? [im]http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Articles/Herold_SpecialForces_files/image005.jpg[/img] If these are paid by the US goverment, I wouldnt want to speculate how the ones employed by the RACS would have looked like But I am still annoyed over the main characters "helmetcap"... as said before, his only intrests must have been Vietnam and Baseball. Its however great to see this addon dwarfed by that all the community addons allready released. I belive this comittment and hard work by some are making us a bit spoiled concerning new content. QG sure could have had more addons, but in my world it added enough. A great campaign and a beautiful new island. RL mostly seems to own the virtual, lately. this merc really couldn't be invented in a more cliche way.

the city of Corazol is awesome. I want to spend my holidays there as well as I want to get into some tough urban combat.

I just did that in OFP so far, but you should be able to save the mission and load it into the editor later.

I blew up the troop truck with a satchel, shot the guys in the UAZ and sat myself behind the steering wheel.then I chased the ammo trucks and fired at them till they blew. one AT for the BMP and one satchel for the truck hiding in the forest. that's it...

I think the unit-switching is OK. you could switch the soldier in M1 Tank Platoon, too, which added greatly to the experience. and this is a classic top-notch simulation.

...it's great work guys. but please forgive me the question: isn't it rather pointless?

thanx for the advice, Hudson. I really seem to have crossed a threshold with my assault mission on Lipany(the largest city in OF) and a few dozen AIs and the BAS-addon, which is 30 megs at least. I will try it with a dedicated to see the performance gains...

I experienced a more than slight performance-cut when using the BAS-ranger AddOn in a mission. well, its a self-made mission in lipany with serveral 12-men groups of AI-soldiers, but I had the same number of soldiers before without performance issue in that missions before installing the BASpack. just from another pack (seb-deltaforce). does it really cut into performance, if I have big addons in my folder even without using it in a mission (probably a RAM issue, have 512MB on XP btw)?

thx for the quick answer. I made it in the meantime. I just ran fullspeed to the shore and crawled under the jetty. than I went in the water and entered the boat before drowning. the rest was flawless... nevertheless, quite stupid mission. I don't like being unarmed, feeling so naked ;) but I loved the next mission where you have to sneak into 2 us-camps, place some satchels in a heli and 2 APCs. as a bonus I flattened the 2 camps, hehe....

I don't know how many people here have played the campaign and can assist me, but: I'm trying to make a run as POW and just see no way to do so successfully. killed every time. man, I played all 3 main-campaigns and NEVER had such trouble. perhaps someone can give me a hint...

I experienced both (seagull or taking over an AI-player) without changing anything of the options or something. I did not use a dedi-server. anyone, please tell me how to switch to a former AI-player after dying in coop. I seem to have no idea...
