(Review Completed) [SP] Gauntlet

[Blacknite]

The Gauntlet
By Blacknite
For Operation Flashpoint Resistance
tested on v1.96

Addons needed:  JAM3 http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=8810

Edit: Use JAM3 (Fixed), also available from the Addons Depot.
      Also requires an Editor Update.

Mission Details:
You will fail in this mission.  You will die in this mission.  But how you die, is what you determine it to be.  You and three others must defend a fort in the middle of a desert from an all out attack by air and land.  There will be tanks to battle against, there will be snipers to hide from, there will be infantry and special forces to defeat, and there will be enemy choppers bombarding your fort.  This is your final stand against the overwhelming attack by the Americans.  How would you like to die?

Edit: This mission has been reviewed and is available, with required addons, from the Missions Depot.

[Blacknite]

Anything guys?

[Pilot]

Really, really hard...

Actually, it was slightly frustrating, as I always play to win.

I'll try to play some more, I might have time tomorrow.

Downloaded both the mission and JAM2 addon.  Though I can't load the mission due to "JAM_Vehicles" addon missing.  I recieved JAM_Magazines & JAM_Sounds and a readme file that i couldn't open.  could you please ensure that all the addons required are uploaded properly?  Can't think of any other reason for it not too work.  I'd love to try this mission out. thanks

I played the mission with JAM 3, and it worked fine for me.  I think that JAM_Vehicles was not present in JAM 2, and was later added in JAM 3.  For a link to JAM 3, click me.

Think Pilot is correct, I might have used JAM 3 instead of JAM 2, I will make the proper changes above.

righton, it happens.  downloading JAM3 now.  I'll have a report on Gauntlet in a few hours after I'm done getting my butt handed to me by imperialist dogs.

This might be an important factor...  It aint suppose to win...  Its a one man stand against the impossible inwhich its suppose to be fun, while losing.  Sry, it didnt come to me till now.

played through about a gajillion times and died in so many ways so many times.  I just couldn't stop hitting the retry button.  Kudos on creating one very simple and very very addictive mission. 

   no bugs found, no showstoppers, nothing to take away from the fun.  The only thing that hampered me at all was that the fort was a bit cluttered.  It was hard to find a good spot to stand to get to the ammo/weapons i was trying to pickup. Other than that, no real flaws to speak of.

 

[Blacknite]

Perhaps I can just spread it out a bit more, maybe add a tower in the middle?

[ONoSixIsDown]

that would be good... maybe spread it out a bit more.  it is kinda cramped in there... once those tanks are right out side it's pretty much over.

though today i was slick enough to run out there with satchel charges and take out most of the tanks before i was turned into swiss cheese by two dozen men 

[Blacknite]

Going to call it good, sry.

Blacknite, do you want this mission reviewed? If so, could you update the topic title and just post that you want it reviewed?

And a very original idea btw. I played it a (more than) few times
