[OFP] Spearhead by Live

Review by Dragunovska

Overview

Two words, great mission. Live has done a superb job on all aspects here, The Briefing and Overview are well structured with a nicely thought out storyline and give you all the info you really need before actually taking part. The cutscenes are very cinematic in feel and provide you with a sense of realism but not too overdone.

Mission

The mission is very meaty with a lot of fast paced action, great scripting and suspense. My only gripe would be that it is pretty difficult and not for someone new to OFP, even advanced players will still find themselves hitting the retry button a few times before completion. Civilians and militia members also add to the confusion of friend or foe with some carrying guns, often you'll find yourself accidentally popping a few unarmed frightened civilians because you swear they had a gun.

Overall

(Review Date: Apr 2002) Overall this mission gets a high score because of the depth and replayability it has to offer. Highly reccomended, just don't expect a walk in the park. I hope to see more of Live's excellent work in the near future.

Edit by Walter_E_Kurtz -
This mission requires an Editor Upgrade (originally Gunslinger's, presumably) for a small number of objects to appear.
Without it, the error is "No Entry 'config.bin/CfgVehicles.BBB004"
With it "Missing addon: EditorUpdate102", but the mission runs as intended - this is unavoidable, without editing the mission.sqm

Also, set your Terrain Detail to 'Very Low' so that the enemy base is laid out on a flat surface.
