[OFP] Ghost Drop by Merc

Review by Tyger

Overview

The overview was one page with a short paragraph on the mission. The picture was okay, but it was a little grainy and could have used a border.

Intro

The Intro had some crazy shots of the U.S. Airbase you take off from. Some of the camera scripting was a bit poor as it turned this way and that.

Briefing

The briefing was a little confusing but it gave some intelligence on the situation. Nothing overly wrong here.

Mission

The mission has a few surprises in it, including some minefields and other interesting things like that. The first objective, to destroy four T80s, is fairly easy if you are stealthy and plan out your attack. The second objective, to knock out four Shilkas, is much harder. The Shilkas are located in Lipany and they are protected by at least a platoon of men. A word of wisdom is to save before answering any phones.

Outro(s)

The outro was a short clip about why Bob didn't go on the mission. It's there for laughs.

Special

The minefields and the booby traps are a major plus to the mission.

Overall

(Review Date: Aug 2005) The mission can be hard in spots, but it is playable. There was some nice scripting on the HALO jump with an altimeter, and a working HALO script. The author included a few surprises that I enjoyed, making this mission an average mission.
