Benchmark 6410, ECP, Vet mode, no super AI
Nice intro. Works well and is atmospheric.
All stuff in briefing was simple, well laid and to the point, no typo's that I noticed.
Mission starts and I get 2 sliders up. Hmmm. Sorry, no heroics from me, Friendly 1, Enemy 0.
The choppers turn up in a very nicely choreographed move with lots of chopper dust. Love it! Move on and get ejected from chopper in an interesting way. Must have a look at that.
Can't report accurately how this started, suffice to say you had the desired effect of what appeared to be a fairly major battle going on. With no lag either. Chopper gets shot down and I lose most of my squad getting up the hill. Get to road and leader dies, so I'm in charge.
One niggle. Combat ambience. I'm not a big fan. In theory it should work but because it's a sound effect heard for 4 years or so it's a little tiring. Maybe a different sound effect could be used or just rely on the actual battle for the ambience.
Carry on towards the town and apart from a few scattered AK rounds going off it seems quiet. Get lazy and get whacked by a bunker. Hmmm, not noticed them. See custom death cam, nice.
Retry. This time doesn't go quite so well. Get injured pretty early on and most of my squad are down. Crawl on my belly towards the town, take out the first bunkers and hear some DHSK fire. More bunkers, if you have constructed these, good job. They are evil. :-X
My heart lifts when I see a med-tent and I start to crawl towards it and I'm introduced to Death-Cam again. Bah.
And again.
And again. X4
The downside to Death-Cam is that I can't get to retry quick enough.
Finally clear the town and Hint box and radio message appear. I use this opportunity to finally try and get to the medtent. Get whacked by a loon by the med-tent. Harumph.
Also at this point notice a dude in the medtent and after healing I head towards the napalm to have a look and notice a MG sticking out of a wall. Whack it.
Don't know what to say about the next bit apart from it was very very messy and me getting very acquainted with Mr Death-Cam. Also wondering if you've played an evil trick with those difficulty sliders and made them the opposite of what I'm expecting.
Despite it being very addictive I have to call it a night. This needs a restart and hopefully more west will survive because I'm on my own and definitely feel outnumbered and outclassed. This is tough!
No bugs so far though.
