Thanks a lot.

@Mr Burns: What FX mods did you use for your video. I would love to try those out myself.

Well, your campaign forced me to post my first post ever in that forum... guess I'm no lurker anymore. I think this fact should speak for itself and for the quality of your campaign. *** SPOILER BELOW *** In mission 2 you are mostly doomed if you stay in the center where the waypoint is. I finally got the mission right, when I flanked to the right hand side where there is a little barnyard with some enemy resistance. Once I had cleared the way to that location, everything seemed to work fine. The later arriving mech support cleared the way to the primary objective and the rest was a cake walk. The funny thing is, that two other guys from my platoon survived that. Well needless to say I had become squad leader by then.

That campaign was great. Odd thing is, I found mission 2 the hardest of them all. I had that good old feeling of an OFP Campaign again. Decent storytelling, some character development and on top of that (and cretainly most important) : good mission design. What I liked was the feeling of being a soldier in a real operation. Often, other missions/campaigns depend too much on the player alone, making him an Uber-Soldier of some sort. Not this campaign! I found the fact, that you can lag back a bit and watch the other friendly platoons take on the fight quite good. It also gives you another way of completing a mission. For example, I completed mission 4 with only 2 kills on my account. Still, the mission was a success and the campaign went on. That's just great! The only negative points were mentioned before: To low volume on voices in cutscenes, music a bit too load (but the actual music is really great!.
