Swoop,
Are these listed w/ your Ace's handle? I been seeking out your missions if you've uploaded to any of the OPF sites.
I have a couple of requirements for downloading missions.
Full briefing
Cut scene opening
Support from at least one other squad
Armor support
Air support
Ship or artillary support.
Real life objectives-- ie, towns w/ crossroads, airports, comm/dar sites etc.
Cut scene close.
heheh no need for lip sync and voices.
I wouldn't want to fight NATO in real life. They'll slam you w/ all this stuff
I was a little disapointed toward the end of the campaign, your squad is tasked w/ taking out a scud launcher w/ a nuke warhead. You only get support from 3 Abrahms.. Now, don't you think NATO would blast in there with F-15E's F-16's, A10's?. Wouldn't they be concerned about radation leeks from the launcher?.. Would your guys would be wearing bug suits? -grin-
I d/l'd something interesting from one of the sites, it's the open pbo's from the campaign. With voice and lip sync, it's 23MB's, without only 3.5MB's I think it's a good way to learn all the trigers etc.
Theres all kinds of trigers that haven't been explored yet. Like you charactor sitting down at a table at a restrant. Theres a radio nearby, command menu comes up, turn on radio. Obviously if a menu command comes up its a clue to your mission.. The anouncer reports heavy fighting up north by the airport.. Oh toejam that's were your unit is stationed!.. better jump into your humbve and haul bellybutton back to base!.
Another part of a fun campaign.. a love interest..
Your unit is billeted at a local families home. There's a cute girl there. After dinner she needs help carrying a bucket of water. The command menu pops up.. pick up bucket. You pick up bucket. Now follow girl.
Another cut scene here where she talks about how hard this war has been for her family etc. Next mission, your at an observation post with your unit.. The war is always in the distance.. an occasional roar or light flash.. Next mission your at your station at a crossroad checkpoint.. Here comes "Jenna", she's got a fruit basket/fresh bread... ahhh she likes you. The next cut scene we see them holding hands walking into the sunset.. the scene fades.. coz... this is a PC war sim.
There's a battlefield wedding.
When the Russians attack in ernest, there's mass confussion. Civilians are trying to get a flight out. Your unit is preparing to evacuate. But wait! you have personal business. You run into the grandfather at the airport... Where's Jenna?.. She stayed to help her grandmother.
See now you've added conflict here. On the one hand, you could get charged w/ AWOL.. On the other.. your brand new wife could get killed... or worse.
What to do?
I don't know... I just trippin'... hehehehe
