The other day, i'm cruising around Gamespy (which there are almost no OFP:R players for, but that's another post) when this dude named "RunAwayScientist" is beta-testing a mission he'd been working on. Anyway, it was a blast and a half. I'll tell you what it was like.
It's a police standoff that takes place in Lipany, Novogo. The large building in the center of town is a bank that has been invaded by five heavily-armed crooks (playable). A police peremiter has been established with lots of uniforms (regular AI cops) holding down the fort behind vehicle roadblocks. Outside, there's an element (team) of SWAT officers (also playable) trying to rescue the four hostages (not playable).
It was scripted such that the cops could arrest the bad guys and "rescue" the hostages, which would send them running to a safe zone. The bad guys could "rescue" the hostages, too, sending them out. That created the element of negociations. The goal was to save the lives of the hostages. The bad guys could negociate for a car to be moved around front, etc, etc, all the while the SWAT guys are trying to take the bad guys down and save the innocents.
I'll give you a summary of an average round-
-Starts
-SWAT teams creep closer to building, staying out of sight
-Negociations begin
-Food is demanded
-Food is delivered (just roleplayed) by a SWAT officer
-As suspect comes out to take food, he is challenged (you know, "Get on the ground! Drop the gun!"), while the rest of the team enters the back of the bank
-there's a short, violent shootout, some hostages are rescued, some bodies hit the floor.
Okay, that's one round. There's also the option of the bad guys to actually get away. They could jump in a car and drive off, never to be heard from again, etc, etc.
The point of this is, I'd like to see some standoff-missions bieng kicked around. It is possible to do anything with Opflash, and it's a shame that this genre is largely ignored (from what i've seen).
Other ideas i haven't seen much used...
...Escape and evade
...Manhunt
...Survival (like, stuck in a desert with one quart of water for five people survival)

I love this idea. Instead of trying to reason with AI, which usually ends up in a shootout, you can reason with reg ppl. And all sorta thngs could happen.
Personally I'd like it if someone made a whole map full of robable or takeable places for crooks and the police can do as they please. Well the humans anyways, the AI would flock to the spot.
And if the ai get slaughtered then more are camcreated and bodies taken away.
Then randomize the whole thing and boom you got one hell of a mission for MP.;)
I remember another fun multiplayer idea. I dunno if any of you know Slash?
he made a Civilian RPG on Nogovo. You could be the police or a civvi. The police had a decent mount of money and starting weapons and vehicles. They were usually outnumbered by civvis though. They had there own prison and respawn area.
The civilians usually formed gangs and stole stuff and killed cops or killed other civvis who had big egos. But you had to get certain liscences and gun papers to buy certain cars or guns. You could goto work and get money. Steal it from stores or bank. Invest in life insurance so you won't lose 1/2 of it when you die, build a house, explore other islands still close to Nogovo...
And lots of other stuff I didn't mention. Its fun being either cop or civvi. Civvis aren't always killed, they can give up and be arrested for awhile and the other cool part is organizing gangs or mafias with other players. Theen we fought other civvis with the egos and warred against the cops it was a fun game that lasted about 5-7 hours usually. :beat:
I'm still tryin to find that mission though.....

Aren't the files that one fishes out of the MP cache almost unusable? I've tried to get that mission out of there and host it, but it never works.

Create your own free website at www.geocities.com or www.freewebs.com
I prefer geocities just because Freewebs could never accept my .zip files for some reason. ???

Dude, yur talkin bout nogville beta

Hey! I remember you! Heh, wow...I never thought it'd get THIS popular.
I'm involved with Law Enforcement, which is why I made those missions. They were designed as a training tool to play out with my good buddies MetalGear and Bert.
These are called "Barricaded Suspect" situations. Basically, it's an enviroment where we can train in sniping, CNT, tactics, and effective SWAT manuvers. I never released this mission, but seeing as how it's getting so popular, I'll release all the police missions I've made if I get the chance...Other wise, you'll have to catch me sometime on Gamespy or OFP: Resistance.
I don't know. What do you guys think? Are you all interested in learning about Law Enforcement via OFP?

My mate Reedski (from the ADF mod) Made a very similar mission, only there was terrorists inside the building and they were holding hostages. The two side (East - Spetsnaz and West - Delta SF) had to race to the building ASAP and recue the most number of hostages. Whichever team got to the building and in turn released all the hostages won. Was quite fun ;D

You could edit it so the S.W.A.T team had two elements: a sniper team, made up of two men and an assult element made up of 5 men.
