Yeh, I agree with ch_123, somethin like an army that looks like all the other countries BDU's sort of "mixed together", it would add a new look to OFP. And also, as .COMmunist said, don't use the west vs east theme as its really old, it's been used almost in every mission. Anyways, good luck J W! Thomas Ryan

lmao As for the origional question, I'd like to see a good campaign using no addons so that it could be compatible with mods (FFUR, ECP, etc) Just my 2 cents Thomas Ryan

Hello all ! This is my review of the excelent mission "EDF: Invasion"; Intro - The intro was very good, considering that it was all done by hand and not using "camera.sqs". However, it didn't really explain the story all that much, but hey! It was still a very good intro! Briefing - The briefing depicted all the information needed about the story, however, maybe a bit more detail on the briefing would have helped but the intension is that the remains of the EDF are attacking and not a full fledged millitary assault. Mission - WOW ! What a good mission! The intro at the start maybe could use some different music as it was the same as the intro's music. When we land on the beach the mortars (excellent scripting by the way ! start to rain down on us and I lose two men, my LAW soldier blows up the BMP while the rest of us pick off the remaining infantry. Then we continue into the forest where we are met with Bravo and then continue on to the city. When we get to the city, the soviets start raining machine gun fire down on us and I lose one man, I quickly ran in, found cover and picked off the machine gunners and any other soldiers. Once the town was clear I went over to the trucks, picked up 3 satchels and blew up all three trucks, then the mission ended. De briefing - Good, but the bit about "You are now captured by the Russians" kinda confused me but I bet that will be resolved in Invasion: Part 2. All in all this was a great mission that was not too hard and not too easy, just right. It could have benifited from custom voiceovers and different music, but otherwise it was a great mission! Well done XCess! Overall rating: 8 out of 10 Very well done XCess !

*Edit: Nevermind! I got the link to work !

Hi all Could somebody give me a link for the v1.01 (FINAL) version and the Handgun fix for me, as the filefront ones aren't working and i really want to see these beauties ! Thanks in advance !

The campaign is about a soviet spetsnaz who was framed for something he didn't do, drafted to NATO, and then faught his friend Alexi and the infamous Guba on Nogova. You should check it out, it's a great campaign (see posts above for a link to it)

Hi, my name is Thomas Ryan, I'm new to the forums and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I need help with a campaign I'm thinking of. I will simply be titled "The Marines" but I was wondering, before I even think of the missions and content, I need to know whether people will want to play it with SafetyCatch's USMC or Suchey&Earl's Marine Assault Pack. Any oppinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all ! Sorry about this, but I have to put the campaign on hold as I'm busy with XCess creating the E.L.S.D clan. Production may resume afterwards if I feel like it lol . Thanks again !

Anyone who has played both the CWC and Res campaign along with Shadows of the Motherland will have noticed that both James Gastovski and Leon Yesenin both have the same face. James Gastovski - that last name doesn't sound very american does it, also at the end of CWC when you capture Guba, James speaks to him in russian and Guba yells 'NOOO!' Leon Yesenin foiled Guba's plot in Shadows of the Motherland so maybe Guba hated the fact that Yesenin foiled him and when James spoke to him in russian, maybe he recognised him and that's why he screamed. James was also a spec ops for NATO. Leon Yesenin - now that name sounds russian, he also was a spec ops for the Soviets and then changed sides to NATO. So maybe the James we all know and love is the same guy who blew up that gas station on Everon. Maybe after a while he got used to an American Accent being around them all the time? Sorry if this is spamming, I can't really tell, just thought you all might want to know! If this gets locked because it is spamming then I'm very very sorry BIS, really I am. All opinions on this are welcome, thanks!

Hi all ! I think we can safely scratch the whole coincidence because I've realized that Shadows of the Motherland takes place years after the events of CWC, so James could not be Leon . Ah well, I thought it could be true when I first thought of it  ! *Edit: plantiff1: that's the pot calling the kettle black ! Just kidding, good to have some humor in this topic. (Apart from Espectro's first post .)

Hi ! Sputnik Monroe: Shadows of the Motherland is a great campaign which you can find here! mp_phoenix: Good point, never thought of that, OFP really does rot your brain !

Hi BergHoff! I did check that page and the other pages about 10 times with no luck ! Still, if someone could PM me with the answer I would be very greatful, I really want to see what all the commosion is about ! *Edit: Never mind, figured it out thanks to BergHoff and Kernriver, thanks again you two! It's a really cool site!

Alright, I give up ! I searched through the main page, the buy page, the support page, the "Inside BI" page and so on and so forth and still I can't find that guy with the briefcase ! I tried every link on each of those pages and still no luck! So, if someone could please PM me with the location of the infamous "Briefcase Man" and the username and password to get in ! I searched for 30 mins and still couldn't find any sign of a briefcase man ! Thanking you in advance

Hi, I'm back! Now, I'm sorry I haven't posted here for a while but I've come up with somthing I hope you'll like ! Okay, here it is; I'll be using RHS' Naval, Motorised and GRU addons, along with BDM's Avignon island and Edge's retextured resistance as the main enemy. And now for the story-line, The title for my campaign is "Avignon, 2010" and the plot goes like this: - On August 1st, on the island of Avignon, a large-scale clash between terrorist forces and police in the islands capital costs 200 lives. - After this attack, it comes to the attention of the president of Avignon that this same terrorist group is the same one which has caused attacks in the past which resulted in heavy casualties. - Due to the fact that Avignon only has a police force and not an army, the president of Avignon asks the Russian Federation Army to aid them. - In response and, after much persuation, the Russian Federation Army sends Naval troops to aid Avignon and it's people in the fight against these terrorists. - You are Alexander Korkov, a grunt in the Russian Federation Navy and you have been sent to aid Avignon. As always, any complaints, comments, opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated  ! Thanking you in advance (how many times have you heard that ? *sigh*) Thomas Ryan *Edit: If anyone knows of any mirrors for ORCS' T72, T90, Shilka and the new Crew Pack could you notify me as the OFP.info mirror is down, the ORCS main website mirrors are down, I can't find any links on OFP Files.com and I can only find the ORCS BMP Pack and the old Crew Pack on OFPBase.com. Please help me! Also, I'm not that good of camera scripter and I can't make good and dramatic cutsceens , so if anyone could apply to help me with this I would be greatly thankful. (The main cutsceen I need help with is the intro, I'd want to make it dramatic with good angles and not the default OFP text.) What I'll do is send you the mission via E-Mail and along with it a text doccument explaining what I would like to happen in the intro and any cutscenes in between. Thanks alot

You can work it without the disk? I never knew that, thanks XCess! I guess now I can say that production has resumed. Stay tuned to this thread for more information.

Arrrgh!! Of all the supidest things to happen, this takes the cake! After playing OFP, I took the CD out and put it in its case. Then, after I left, I hear my shelf by my computer collapse. I rush over to it and I find my OFP CD crushed undeneath the shelf! When I took it out of the case I saw that, to my horror, the CD had snapped in half. So, I'll have to put this campaign on hold for a while untill I get a new CD. However, it may be so long that I'll have to stop the project entirely ! I'd like to say thanks to everyone who helped me, espescially HOBOMAN! Your the greatest mate.

Hi Guba! Thanks man, will do. The problem is that Qatar is a long ways away from where most OFP servers are (eg. U.S, Europe) so that would be why my ping is so high. I will try your soloution and hopefully it will wok out! Thanks again Guba !

Hi jfri! Are you sure it was 'm60' or the BAS Blackhawks addon 'mh-60' because I seem to remeber it being required for that campaign. Also, try reading the readme, it may state other needed addons for the campaign to work (ofp.info doesn't always show ALL of the required addons for the campaign/mission.) Anyways, good luck sorting it out! P.S: If you don't have all the necessary addons required for that campaign and the intro doesn't need them but the mission afterwards needs them then you'll get an error message saying 'Cannot load mission; missing addon 'xxx'', then the cutscene will repeat over and over again and you'll have to close down OFP to stop it.

Hi Guba (never thought after playing the CWC campaign I'd see those two words together meaning a good thing lol j/k ) Anyway, enough with the bad jokes, I'm acctually situated in Qatar which is a small peninsula sticking out of Saudi Arabia. So I'm not sure if there are any servers close to the middle east that wont cause such a high ping. I don't know if it affects it, but my internet connection is 100.0 Mbps. Thanks for explaining what 'ping' is (never acctually knew what it was ) Thanks again! P.S: I'm not Qatari in-case you were wondering, I'm Canadian. P.S.S: I also figured out the Teamspeak problem, I was logged onto my user which had a limited account whereas I could succesfully install it on my Dad's user because it had the administration propperties (D'oh !

Hi HOBOMAN! Thanks for those suggestions, I already looked through those pages and downloaded them a couple of minutes ago. (What a coincidence 'eh? ) I'm definately going to use these along maybe with SEFs CH-53 (unless you or anyone else doen't want to use them for I've learnt about the bad handling and the bugs that come with it.) Anyways, thanks again HOBOMAN! You've been a great help! *Edit: If also, you or anyone, knows a way to replace the pilots in a helicopter if you put an empty one on "Flying" and then put two pilots with "this moveindriver heli1" and "this moveingunner heli1" so that they still unload their transport when they reach a waypoint which says "Transport Unload" because when I put that waypoint they just go there and don't land to unload they're transport. Thanking you in advance !
