SB Interactive

I am creating a Campaign on Isla Duala. I am slowly wrapping up, but I need Beta testers because some of the missions are quite long and I simply don't have time to go over them and do every possibility that the player might do. REQUIREMENTS: Arma2 CO (Arma2 + Operation Arrowhead) BAF Expansion Isla Duala v1.95 Download: If you are interested in beta testing for me, send me a PM. I will send out the Beta missions individually instead of in Campaign form, that way the testers can focus on bugs one mission at a time. Anybody who is willing to test this for me would be a big help and much appreciated :) I have not made coop as of now, however if people express interest in coop, I will certainly take the time to add it. You will play as Afrene, US, and UK troops fighting the Russians and Molatians. The campaign will hopefully play similair to the original operation flashpoint (or i suppose now ArmA cold war assault) campaign, with the player playing diverse roles, and it will hopefully showcase IceBreakr's wonderful work the same way the CWC and Resistance campaigns showcased BIS's work. I will send anyone who either PMs me or posts in this thread expressing interest a copy of the beta. Should you want to test it out with your team, please at least let me know. I will probably say yes, but just remember that this is a beta for a reason. I usually play my own missions or someone elses, but don't often release my missions, so I sometimes don't make markers clear enough or forget to add taskhints etc. This campaign is imho fun already, but it is more so when you add in your own dynamic personal objectives. For example, any time a pilot gets shot down, I attempt to rescue him. I also work my hardest to keep my whole squad alive, especially my medic. Also, I have designed the missions in what I hope is a realistic manner. There will be no 1 vs. 100 missions or "D3ltA is l33t" so you "pwn da wrld" moments. If there are 100 molatians, there will be at least 30 Afrenes with you, and reinforcements and CAS as the battle progresses. Also, you are not expected to look under rocks to find enemies. In the first mission, once a certain undisclosed number of enemies is killed (which is still almost all of them), assuming that the odds are severly stacked against them (say 5 of them vs. 30 of you plus american reinforcements) they will run away and the mission will end. When you attack Scuds in the second mission, you will be fighting a maximum of 10 poorly trained Molatian troops at a time. russians come in groups of 5 to 10. The point is that you will never be doing something in game that you couldn't plausibly do in real life. If you are interested in beta testing for me, it would be much appreciated. Simply post in this thread or send me a PM. thank you.

This is the release thread for all my missions :) FOB Tophat This one is very simple, but I enjoy this type of mission. You must defend the FOB against an insurgent assault. Known Bugs: *The briefing does exist, but for some reason, it does not pop up at mission start, so.... *If the insurgents stop attacking, but the mission aint over, leave the fob, and walk up the hill, one or two tend to be smarter than the rest and hide in the hills after watching 20 or so of their friends get chewed up :) Mirrors: Megaupload Fileplanet Chyechnyan Insurgency v0.1b COOP @25 Destroy the weapons caches that the chyechnyan Guerillas are using. Known Bugs *None Mirrors: EDIT: I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT ENDMISSION TRIGGER. I WILL UPDATE AFTER WORK, HOLD ON. Required Addons: Combined Operations, Chyechnyan Rebels, Chyechnyan War Russians, AK Pack

Okay. I am assuming because of lack of response that the mission posted yesterday was really bad. Then I play, and realize it is. I had had the vegitation turned off by accident when I was testing the mission, and didn't realize how impossible it would be with the vegitation turned on. So now, I am keeping vegitation on for the rest of missions I make. Lesson learned. So I am trying again with a brand new trial mission. Give feedback please. Description: Operation Lowlands is just beginning. Replacements have arrived to fill holes in squads, and leaders have been briefed on their objectives. The US Army is to secure the Lowlands, driving the NVA and VC out of the region, and creating trust between the US Military and the locals. InstallationBecause this is the trial mission, you will have to install to Missions folder for now, but if this goes well and the campaign does get fully released, I will tell you to install to campaign. Required AddOns: UnSung Mod Very Highly Recommended but not required AddOns: JTD Fire and Smoke Group Link 4 Download: MegaUpload Original Mission: MegaUpload Feedback and CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism much appreciated. Enjoy.

For everyone who is helping me beta test, I have sent you a PM with the updated mission. Changelog - Briefing now working - weapon selection at beginning of mission - coop version I will be sending a new mission next week unless major issues arise.

Ello maties. I sent some of you PM's saying that I would have a new version of the mission ready for today, but my friends decided to surprise me before I start my second job, and I will not even be in my house untill after the 4th of July weekend at which point I will start my new job. I am rescheduling the launch of the new mission version for Saturday. It will include a respawn/revive for COOP play with up to im shooting for 10 players, as well as customizable loadout for your squad at the beginning of the mission. I am very sorry for the inconvenience for those of you who are kind enough to take the time to beta test for me, and I hope that you understand. Thank you. If you PM me or post in this forum, I can still check it from the Hotel Room/ phone.

Okay. Im going to make a coop mode now. Jeza I'm sending you a copy of the beta, domukon, pm me or post another message if you want a beta. Thank you for all yalls support

First I want to thank you for your work on this wonderful island. I am sticking to your plot that was set up in the description for your island for the basis of the campaign so thank you for the inspiration. I will send anyone who either PMs me or posts in this thread expressing interest a copy of the beta. Should you want to test it out with your team, please at least let me know. I will probably say yes, but just remember that this is a beta for a reason. I usually play my own missions or someone elses, but don't often release my missions, so I sometimes don't make markers clear enough or forget to add taskhints etc. This campaign is imho fun already, but it is more so when you add in your own dynamic personal objectives.

The point is that you will never be doing something in game that you couldn't plausibly do in real life. If you have read all the way to the end of this excruciatingly boring post, I applaud you and I thank you. IceBreakr, I will PM you with a download link to the beta. You are free to distribute it to your team as you see fit, just please remember it is a beta. Thank you very much, both for beta testing for me, and making this wonderful mod - it is clearly so much more than an island. MacScottie: To recap, this is singleplayer for now, will go to COOP if sufficient interest is shown, and you will play as Afrene, American, and British troops. PM me or say so in a reply in this thread if you are interested in beta testing for me. thank you. Thank you.

id like private stats that only the player who got them could see. it would work for both sides: those who want to can see their stats after the game is over can, while those who have a stick up their butt about this won't ever have to look at their stat page.

installing now, can hardly wait!!!

I was actually just thinking the same thing the other day :)

Shame. Yet another reason BIS is better than EA/DiCE. I have used the C4 engine, and imho it is not yet at a stage where they can make a serious game with it. It is more of an indie dev type thing, which in that case I would have prefered something like Unity, or since it is an FPS, within the same price range is UDK. If they are still attempting to use the C4 engine, my suspicion is that you are very right, it will be a good 5 years before we see anything from PR2.

All though this does bring up a awfully interesting question: any plans to port over to bf3... (thinks he should have posted/searched this in PR forums... :blush:)

ftw!!! if nothing else, i would at least like to see bis make it so that in the blackhawk configs, there is more than just the pilot in the helicopter. I mean like i want the copilot seat to at least be filled with a pilot. It really irritates me when i get in the helicopter as squad leader when im arsing around in the helicopter, i hope in totally immersed, and my character suddenly gets in the front seat of the helicopter. I know i could just add another pilot to the helicopter in the editor when i want, and i do, but theres also those instances such as in the first mission in ao when really i just find it to break immersion.

Personally I like that. It makes it easier to kinda figure out what would be a realistic set up for a motorized division, or an airborne division. Okay thanks for the info about FIA units.

Maybe BIS could make an expansion pack...?

endmission or restart it. To use the endmission cheat I think u use (Shift + "+") and type ENDMISSION

But what about farsi?

I likesssss, it goes with their main page

I personally find that very insulting. I worked very hard to buy my own rig. And just fyi i bought mine for $500 and i can run almost everything on very high. Oh, and I'm one of those annoying 16 year olds everyone bitches about :j:

I'll give this a shot. Celery: I think its a pretty good time limit if you want to submit a campaign instead of a mission though.

Bug: On one of the weapons (I think it was whatever the main assault rifle for the CSLA is), the brass shell casings aren't textured so they come out silver instead of brass colored. just a very minor thing. I still really love the mod keep up the great work !!!

what he said.

I believe you are correct on that one sireee

i buy the BIS stuff because i support them and i want them to continue improving on the engine and providing patches and support, not because i like what they make. TBH, i knew before i bot the PMC DLC yesterday that it was complete and utter shiite, and i already had alternative units that i liked more that were made by the community. The way that arma 2 works is that Bohemia interactive is like the drug grower, the addon and mission makers are dealers, and the people who just play are the users. Its the dealers job to make everything look sexy and happy. For examples of excellent quality community addons that i think far surpass BIS, i would suggest looking at Isla Duala and Panthera by Ice Breaker, Namalsk, Thirsk, and Podagorsk for islands. As far as other addons, CSLA was just released, ACE is good, but sometimes breaks things, and War FX and JTD Fire and smoke make a good combo. Use some community stuff, it really is worth it!!!

quick question: is the FIA faction supposed to have infantry units?
