Title: (Review Completed) [SP] Gauntlet
Post by: Blacknite on 09 Jun 2007, 18:59:21
The Gauntlet
By Blacknite
For Operation Flashpoint Resistance
tested on v1.96

Addons needed:  JAM3 http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=8810

Edit: Use JAM3 (Fixed) (http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=9369), also available from the Addons Depot (http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=details&id=51).
      Also requires an Editor Update (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=158).

Mission Details:
You will fail in this mission.  You will die in this mission.  But how you die, is what you determine it to be.  You and three others must defend a fort in the middle of a desert from an all out attack by air and land.  There will be tanks to battle against, there will be snipers to hide from, there will be infantry and special forces to defeat, and there will be enemy choppers bombarding your fort.  This is your final stand against the overwhelming attack by the Americans.  How would you like to die?

Edit: This mission has been reviewed and is available, with required addons, from the Missions Depot (http://www.ofpec.com/missions_depot/index.php?action=details&id=23).

Really, really hard...

Actually, it was slightly frustrating, as I always play to win.

I'll try to play some more, I might have time tomorrow.

Downloaded both the mission and JAM2 addon.  Though I can't load the mission due to "JAM_Vehicles" addon missing.  I recieved JAM_Magazines & JAM_Sounds and a readme file that i couldn't open.  could you please ensure that all the addons required are uploaded properly?  Can't think of any other reason for it not too work.  I'd love to try this mission out. thanks

I played the mission with JAM 3, and it worked fine for me.  I think that JAM_Vehicles was not present in JAM 2, and was later added in JAM 3.  For a link to JAM 3, click me (http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=8810).

Think Pilot is correct, I might have used JAM 3 instead of JAM 2, I will make the proper changes above.

This might be an important factor...  It aint suppose to win...  Its a one man stand against the impossible inwhich its suppose to be fun, while losing.  Sry, it didnt come to me till now.

played through about a gajillion times and died in so many ways so many times.  I just couldn't stop hitting the retry button.  Kudos on creating one very simple and very very addictive mission. 

   no bugs found, no showstoppers, nothing to take away from the fun.  The only thing that hampered me at all was that the fort was a bit cluttered.  It was hard to find a good spot to stand to get to the ammo/weapons i was trying to pickup. Other than that, no real flaws to speak of.

Perhaps I can just spread it out a bit more, maybe add a tower in the middle?

that would be good... maybe spread it out a bit more.  it is kinda cramped in there... once those tanks are right out side it's pretty much over.

though today i was slick enough to run out there with satchel charges and take out most of the tanks before i was turned into swiss cheese by two dozen men  :weeping:

Blacknite, do you want this mission reviewed? If so, could you update the topic title and just post that you want it reviewed?

And a very original idea btw. I played it a (more than) few times :D   :good:

The Gauntlet
By Blacknite
Beta Tested by schuler

Package- No instructions on where to place Pbo file , think about newbies.

Overview- Simple pic. Good enough. Lets you know that it is for fun mission!

 Intro - None

 Briefing- To the point, No weapon selection, and you don’t need one. Ammo crates are in the mission. Defend a fort in the middle of a desert.

 Mission- Blacknite made this mission quickly and coldly just knowing we would all die.
I think for his own pleasure! I played the mission 9 times or so.
  Well put emplacements. Although ammo crates are a prob, as explained later. Action comes very fast, not much time to see your surroundings. Does not matter anyway you will die!

Outro- No need for one.

Overall- Blacknite, use your 20mins in some other matter.  No bone chilling events. Just over whelmed by U.S. cowboys to take us out. I didn’t have a chance on how I died as the author say I would. I even surrendered and got killed, not like American soldiers to do that?!?! “Depending on what you did as a Russian.”  I should have got a feed and a cigarette! Or sat in “G” for 5 years before a trial. But Hey Mother Russia! I died for my mum!!! Defend a fort in the middle of a desert. Why, I don’t know. But I did it.
  The use of Jam was good, those whom don’t like it have never fired a real weapon. There’s a good point to make, for players,,,, try Jam and targeting, you will see a different concept to fire. It is more real!
  One thing bad about the fort is the ammo crates, choosing and weapon and comes up when all you want to do is change your weapon , not add one!,, that’s the only flaw I seen, crates are too close by.
  My thoughts : good mission to play simply because retry is quick and your back at looking at taking out as many yanks as you can. Have fun doing so!!!!!
   Blacknite, thanks for the mission, i just need to ad that for those downloading this. there is much more to the Blacknite,

and i Perhaps I can just spread it out a bit more, maybe add a tower in the middle?
i think that would have been great ,,, thats where id like to die,,,
cheers schuler ;)

Project Beta Approved
