Thanks Mikero, an.....odd but appreciated review. You made it sound like the worst mission you've ever played, but gave it a 7
Instant and intense dislike. It is not up to me to decide what weaponry to use. How the hell would I know?
What do you mean by this?
The idea of having the player with no weapons in the briefing came from a mission from the CSLA2 mod. In that one you had to arm 12 paras, so i didn't think 2 snipers was too bad.
However, I will remove that feature, and have the player and his spotter armed with default weapons and a satchel charge (maybe i'll give them a M82 and a M24. Those were the weapons I thought suited the mission best)
Very poor choice of lz spot, poorly thought out.
Hmm....when I first made this map, i chose that area because it was the closest flatish area to both the targets without practically land on top of them. I thought it would be slightly more realistic landing a distance away from the targets.
Was there a place you thought would be more suitable?
The retry was so if the player died, he didn't have to start again in mid air, waiting to land before starting again.
Typically I have supplied #2 with a bipod M21 but no proper ammo for it so he's reduced to a spectator. This is very very poor.
This isn't really my fault. I even put a whole section into the briefing so people would get the correct ammo for each weapon. Even if I had started the second guy with a default weapon, it would have been the M24, so in changing it to a M21 the ammo type still would have been wrong.
The extraction was a bit unrealistic now looking back at it. It should have been a kind of 'Getting out just in time as a hord of OPFOR desend upon your position', but looking back on it I see it was kind of hollywood-ish. I'll remove some of the enemy there, and also add a hint it you get to the extraction and havn't completed the objectives yet.
I can't really change the togography. Any closer to the target and it would be stupidly unrealistic, landing on the doorstep of your enemy and still hoping to catch them by suprise.
Anyway, i'll change those things, and change the intro.
