My review of Operation spark v1.25 beta
Intro One word, Excellent
Overview Boring picture, text is O.K
Mission Very professional work, Great story line, interesting scripts and cool point scoring system.
Review 9 out of 10
Briefing Easy to understand, the objectives worked nothing to report. (I didnt go in undetected)
After 3 hours and 16 minutes I'm awe-inspired and much impressed by your efforts with operation spark. I played the mission from start to finish and enjoyed every minute.
Due to my CPU spec my OFP runs slower with vol-fog and night time so decided to go in during the day and not stealth.
When I can afford a decent new upgrade I will try stealth and night time OR probably play ArmA
Me and my team approached the target from the north-west. we reached the ruined town with no trouble, but just one. three-man-patrol.. We iced them and then I moved into a two-story house on the north-west tip of the town. Then I positioned stalker and iceman in tree cover further north to watch my six, then the s**t got heavy. From the windows of my position I killed what seemed like hundreds of men while being constantly spooked by bmp's and the T72. After a murderous long time the APC's moved away so I took the oppotunity to grab an RPG launcher. But before the mad dash I precisely shot the Commander and Gunner of the T72 rendering it harmless and then I quickly changed position.
I stayed north and reached more ruins and sandbags for cover, while knocking out some M2 machine gun nests along the way. From here I destroyed the bmp's but this wasnt easy they moved and weaved and seemed to have good AI skill as they kept spotting me and ultimatley cost me to save game for each BMP I destroyed.. Then I tried to bring my team in closer but they was caught in yet another push from the enemy infantry and my boys was killed. What followed was a very intense infantry battle. Without the cover and safety of my four walls in the house but just a small shad (sandbags), I was repeatedly flanked and advanced upon from all sides and I killed enemy upon enemy until I completely run out of ammo HK SD
and Glock SD.
I was forced to take an AK47 until literally a spetznatz with a Bizon fell dead in my lap. I worked my way into a tent with ammo crates where I replenished my RPG and bizon. By then I had already noted the location of one shilka.
1000 Bizon rounds later and 2 more save games I had destroyed two shilkas.
NOTE One shilka in the centre of the town was upside-down-on-its-roof ?
when I finally found the last shilka I had killed many more troops and it was difficult through and through. Just when I thought it was safe to come out I was killed almost everytime and took shots from every angle only just making it back into cover as I moved along. This was challenging and good fun -Many kudos-
After many attempts I destroyed the last shilka and escaped again using the way I came in. From the North. I then followed (a double steel fence with empty watch towers) and came across a Ural on the road, Shot the driver and drove on to the safety of the blackhawk. Then I boarded feeling like an accomplised veteran.
Suggestions 1. Some kind of enemy presence patrolling the long steel fencing with the fuel station (north-West)
2. JAM3 version
3. T72 crew (turned in)
Overall Very good mission. very difficult, very enjoyable, very addictive. very Intense. Anybody who likes a difficult mission I recommend this great keeps-sake of a mission. 9\10
As you said you have randomized the enemy even more. Well I will be keeping this mission in my collection and playing it again when the final is released. I never used the (too hard) aka (wussy button) as I prefer near impossible missions keep up the good work haroon1992
