Black Hawk Down

[Cartman42]

Ritey, if no one has asked for this in the past, then i am ashamed.
Black Hawk Down, the largest firefight since 'nam should have been made into a mission by now.

By using the BAS addons, and a DECENT Mogadisnu island, this mission would just require some skill and patience and a masterful work of art could come out of it.

You could be a Delta Force operative, or a Ranger, land, take the target and then defend a crashed BH. If you dont know what i am talking about, watch Black Hawk Down the film. Its well worth it.

Well, since you registered today, you couldn't have known....

The "BHD mission" has probably been the most requested and most attempted mission in OFP history.  I'm not aware of any good ones.

The chief enemy is lag in BHD missions, followed closely by AI that doesn't like tight places and air units that refuse to cooperate over cities like those on the BAS Tonal island.

So AFAIK nobody has ever pulled it off (a good one that is) - people have been trying for a looooooong time.

EDIT - behold:

Not to mention Mogadishu maps are usually sucky. Flat with a group of buildings and Task force base. Pretty boring. BHD needs a respawn script, chopper circling script, AI in buildings and NOT passing through them script, and a decent bunch of vehicles that withstand tons of fire like in the book Hummers with flat tires, smoking, windshields blown off, ones wth RPGs in them not to mention the 5 tons...

Very hard indeed... :help:

Honestly, any urban combat mission is very tought to make. Believe me I tried, and the CSAR team usually just spread out over a 50m radius or just completely messed up the formation. ANd to make the enemy units keep rushing and rushing, will take script work, some patience, and a lot of self control. I'm not saying its impossible, but you'd have a really tough time making one.

I always make urban missions when I'm bored... but I never clean em up and release em cos I'm lazy... Maybe I should release one. They just take a lot of place.. test... place.. test work. A LOT of patience but the sound oooo the sound and the bullets flying over head, you don't get that in countryside missions so much, and urban means you need less people, just groups of 2 or three cos places don't look so empty then. Remember, you don't have to make things so they are what they look like, just so they seem what they look like. Use a couple of units with HD mags and it will seem like a sqaud of people with normal mags. and keep the Blackhawks flying over with the M134s going.  ;D

hey

I once attempted a BHD mission along with many others and have to agree it's one of the most hard and complicated missions to make not to mention the lack of descent 'Mog islands. It is one of those missions that a lot of people dream of making but unfortunatly it don't happen.

There is a mini campaign by Spank-G about the movie, where you play as the Delta guy Hoot and SGT Eversman.

If you are to attempt a BHD good luck to you mate,  ;D try an make a descent one.
