I really don't know if we need the carrier.  Can the F/A-18's even take off from it, and will it look professional??  If your a Marine in the mission, your not going to see the carrier, and a LST could easily look just as good.

As for the AAV7, I don't have the addon, so I don't know much about its quality.  If it's a nice addon, I suppose we could use it, but we have to be careful about the addons we use.

Too many addons make me avoid a mission all together.

I don't know if the AI can use the Nimitz, and I don't think we'll be seeing it enough to merit a download.

AAV7:

or

Both are roughly 1.75 megs.

I was thinking what is the intro cut scene going to be. Is the player going to be in transit or launch from a land base or a ship. That is why I was saying it would be nice to show a ship or two. Marines do depoly from ships.

In relation to Marines not seeing carriers, it is not out of the ordinary for Marines to be stationed on aricraft carriers and deployed from them. These units are usally small crisis teams, but they are there. Marines are the land-based fighting force for the Navy.

I think we should have a long intro showing the beginning of th assault, and the squad being cut off from the rest of the platoon. I like long cinematic intros.. and it would be easier to cause the squad to split off that way. The player won't want to retreat if we just set it out like it's going to be a normal assault mission so we either do it trhough intro or a cutscene.

I think a cutscene is a better idea.  Have a nice, decent lenghted intro, then let the player disembark, walk around a little.  Then have a cutscene, and make everything happen from there.

*edit* Hmmm on second thought splitting it up and having the separation in a cutscene would probably keep players interested.  There's a tendency to zone out during long intros.

Good thinking about Tonali 1...I didn't even realize that it had no desert!

Sounds like a plan ;D

Xcess,

Calm down, read the main page and you'll see why.

You'll also see when uploading will work again...
