My first review (or After action report....boh)
Please be kind and try to understand my english that is all but far from being english.
My persoal opinion is that this mission is really well thought an well structured with a lot of suspence.
Unltil the end you think that your HQ want to let you down.
The objectives are well put and the enemy too and when you are near the camp with the tanks on the beach they try to catch you from the sides.
I used a lot of patience to win.
All has already being told on the intro and the Morricone music
The mission was tested with insert point from lighthouse, church and the main street of the village.
My option here is from the main street.
Found two vocal easter eggs.
Weapons used for the test:
Default loadout (Not used very much because the silenced magazines are hard to find from the dead)
M4A1 M203 ACOG (My best choice in all missions. The stealth thing for me is not always true in ARMA. When you shoot always all the world runs to you).
MP5SD (great weapon for stealh but to fast to go out of ammo)
M16A4 ACOG with M203.
In this test I used M16A4 ACOG with M203 (when near out of ammo I took magazines from the deads)
No problem found.
The only problem but not a mission bug ,I think, is that the radio with the save option disappeared after the first cut scene when I was saved by the angel.
With this new version the radio disappeared without reloading the mision, but here, for me, is a bonus.
In the new intro the angel don't shoot but the HMMWV driver dies.
Insert point at the beach and followed a path to the gas station and than the street.
When the street marks a turn gone prone and hide near the house on my left.
I saw the first guards. The fight begins.
The sniper do its job and I waited untill the most part of the enemy soldier are died by the sniper or by me.
From this position I control the whole street and the enemies have only that street to come to me.
Than I go to the house and had the cut scene of the jump that, for me, worth the mission.
Folowed the orders and exited near the water to the way of the extraction point.
Cut scene.
Here the radio from the map is gone and no more save options. (Even without reloading the mission just after the little film).
Checked the body and I have had evaded well because no vulcan and no patrol coming to me (or I did not see them).
I went west to the beach near the sea and continued to the little gulf where there is no obstacle to enter the base.
When I tried other way I had no joy because during the fight I had bad sight for the grass.
Using the sand dune as cover I killed the driver of the tanks (If you use MP5 they have the ammo for you).
Another fight begins, but here I had a lot of patience because my back is covered by the sea and I had the position on my own
to look in front of me and at my left and right, killing everything that moves.
When the calm return, prone, I went to the tanks and put the C4.
And always prone returned to my old position near the sea.
When I saw a couple of soldier near the tanks I detonated the C4 to let the enemy number go down.
Always prone new fight while searching for the officer (pay attention! somtime he has a group protecting him)
Killed the officer and checked his body.
Objective complete
Now waited a few minutes to see if somebody was still alive... and begun to search for the computer.
Before entering the computer room I saved and tried the hack.
I made 7 - 8 hara kiri because I wanted to crack it! (I always had problem cracking it).
Now I understood how to do the hack and started tracking the ammo box with M24.
I had a little fight with a couple of survivors in the base.
Near the area of the M24 box great fight with a patrol squad.
I took the M24 and waited.
Cut scene
I finally choose to play as the angel (for the hacking thing always played as the human).
cut scene
Killed Mandoble with one shot one kill (great touch give the wind speed and direction)
I evaded the squad searching me and go to my tent.
Rearmed some magazines and follow the new orders.
I found the camp where the human is and after a little fight I was ready to free him.
I was in a bad position because the tent was in my LOS and I had to be accurate not shooting the prisoner.
DONE!
BRAVO LCD!
Note:
The hardest part is when the vulcan come to you. You have to be really stealth or to kill an AT soldier and stole the bazooka to kill the vulcan.
The end as the Human for me is more hard than the end as the Angel.
I had an error message "ordering true division by zero" whe I was near the truck in the garage and an enemy came to me from my left. But I think that this is due to the fact that I alt tabbed a couple of time to let my video card be cold (Very hot here and the pc heat very much) (to be virified but I think that that was the problem - I mean some variable has lost its content. another explanation could be that using the in game save and reload I lost variable content as LCD explains in the notes of the mission).
