D/L ok, addons ok.
OverviewEXTREMELY cool pic. EXTREMELY cool.
Text : may be add something that'd enhance how tough the mishun is going to be, or how elite the snipers chosen are...
IntroA bit unclear what it is all about : the truck is too obviously starting its engine in the middle of nowhere, then there's this guy shooting from you-don't-know-where at you-don't-know-who. At the beginning, the camera goes through the walls of the radio tower.
I'd say it'd need reworking
.
BriefingSituation section : typos=> "presumably", "chief". Neat section, although the big picture (what am I, when, fighting who... all stuff I have to say I like knowing) is not mentioned.
Mission section : consider adding links to the map when mentioning grid coordinates.
Gear section : typo, "alternately" ; why are ghillie suits unsuitable ? (yes I'm a pain ;D) May be describe the differences betwen weapons briefly, and say what ammo is needed for each... (I had to restart the mission several times to figure out the matching mags).
MissionCool anim on landing ! Seeing that LZ is closer to the spot where the hostage is, and being as meaningfully nagging as a beta-tester can be, that's where I go. I get an updated retry position... There's a truck patrolling... Eager to try my M82A1, I engage it. Loons unboard, bam bam, they're all dead. I then proceed to engage the guards in the village from the North (~500m.), bam bam, they are all dead. I order my loon to wait for me, and walk to the village... All dead ? Nah, I wish... Get killed a few times, reload, finally make it, free the hostage, leave him there, get in a truck, head north... oops, my loons have just spotted enemies coming from the west moving towards the village... get out of the truck, we kill them. Back to the truck, drive north, pop guys from the south in the radio station, climb on the mountains in the east, kill a bunch more, here comes a truck, I RPG it... Darn it, I'll soon be running out of ammo... Ok, back to the truck, where I had ordered my partner to go. We exchange weapons again (I had done so before walking to the first village), I move west, order the loon to follow me 100 m. behind me... Good move, as 6 enemies were trying to flank me... Cool piece of action there, as they were too close for my M82A1, so I kill some of them with my silenced handgun while n°2 finishes the rest... Move to the site, assassinate the few sneaky campers, blow the radio, shoot the two satellite phones inside the house, and they... disappear
Anyway, the objective does not tick, so I look for other phones... there's none, so back to truck, retrieve my mates, go to the extract point and... nothing.
Is it because I didn't complete the objectives in the briefing order ? Are there more than two satellite phones on the site ?
Mission UncompletedMy opinion* What I liked : da weapons ;D ; the insecure feeling that grew in me as I realized I was running out of ammo (I "finished" the mission with 21 bullets left, counting my loon's).
* What I didn't like : the enemies never came from where I feared they might, that is, in my 6, from the mountains. Someone more patient than I was tonight could have walked around the sites for hours and snipe everybody without being threatened for real.
Anyway, that was fun, good job :thumbsup: !
