View Full Version : If you could decide the author of A3 campaign

...Who would you choose? Being a bit too young for a real old-school wargaming Grognard, I can still remember many lazy weekends of SPI and GDW games ;)
Thus, my choise would be the double team Frank Chadwick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chadwick) and Loren Wiseman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Wiseman) of Twilight 2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_2000) fame.
Why? Well, ever since OFP I've suspected the Španěls have either used that game as a model or they are latent telepaths picking up echoes of T2K rpg sessions :D
T2000 wasn't the best pen & paper rpg ever but the scenarios read like the guys writing them knew their military stuff. The scenario Going Home had this feeling of playing a few regular soldiers, trying to survive the aftermath of a huge conflict. Just the kind of thing Arma series would be perfect for.
Enough of pre-computer era nostalgia thou. The question for discussion remains:
Who'd You choose to author the single player/co-op campaign in the release of Arma III?

Myself.
Because obviously I´m better than anybody else out there.
If I can´t do it, Hideo Kojima.

James Cameron.
And after you played through the campaign you get a tshirt from BIS saying 'I SURVIVED ARMA3' ! :D
My vote would go to a double team of Bardosy and Zipper, they have a proven track record of producing nice campaigns for BI games.

Alastair Reynolds! It is sci fi, right? :D
I kid... but honestly, I couldn't say. I've read "The Bear and the Dragon" by Tom Clancy and thought it was okay.

Hideo Kojima - who else haha :D
Ian McPhedran.... actually,
Someone who fits into this category of a small unconventional unit in the middle of a hostile environment, being a water operator and working closely with the SBS - Keith Fennel (http://www.keithfennell.com.au/).
We'd see something fictional but satisfying and full of action.
A book author rather than a game designer but I would like to see Ken Follet pen the story for ArmA 3. He's an historical novelist mainly but wrote a great book about the First World War called the Fall of Giants. His charachter development and the way he can put action into words would make him great for writing an imersive storyline for the game.

I say combine Zipper, Bardosy, Sick1 and SaOk and Gaia and you will have the ultimate campaign!
Zipper5
(he's holding a gun to my head, I don't have any options)
No I'm not. (- Zipper5)
get out of my post you canuck
Whoever played the most part in making the Cold War Crisis campaign I guess. :)
Not Gaia.
His missions are very well-made but I just think they're way too unrealistic and ridiculous (reference EW and PMC). BAF campaign was nice but a bit short.

No wait. I just had the most amazing Idea.

He's onto something.
How it would be with....
Tarantino => Lots of blood, related to all his movies and most of the cast dies in the end. (Maybe Nazis,vampires or zombies appear too)
Scorsese => Treasons, WTF? moments, nice shootouts and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Kojima => 15 hours of cutscenes with sad moments and crazy russians\persians with weird powers to fight against.
Uwe Boll => Automatic Fail.
Coppola => 35 hours of gameplay. In the part I\non director Edition.
Hitchcock => Fear...out of nowhere, goats and cows start to fight Miller.
ehm.... Im not good at this. =\

Gaia . EW had a nice vibe .

I certainly would like to see some input from Gaia, maybe a different author for each mission could be kinda cool.
Imagine the atmosphere Gaia could create when Miller washes up on a random beach in Lemnos :upside:
the mission is compromised and the task force destroyed, leaving Cpt. Scott Miller washed ashore upon the hostile island.

Chances are Gaia is already involved with this.
Although, what I´d love to see is Thobson being involved with this. The preset is already so similar to his abandoned armies: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=44651
So it´ll be a mix of WTWE and Abandoned Armies or something.

Well Gaia is a great storywriter, but all his campaign rapidly become really dramatic, almost too much. EW was perfect, Black Gauntlet was not.

Realistically, Gaia and Zipper 5 together.
Unrealistically, James Cameron :D

michael bay.
..and then an explosion here and then the tank comes crushing into the building wich makes a giant fireball burning everything in its path at that point a nuke gets dropped ontop of this building right when 20 helicopters attempted to suicide crash onto the main character inside the building. main character crawls away under the rubble in the end to kiss megan fox who then blows up and transforms into a giant godzilla who starts shooting lazerbeams out of her ears destroying the world... the end

I feel like I've seen it before.....?
Zipper Five to make the missions and whoever did CWC and Resistance campaigns to write the story.

Pffft. You are, all of you, deluded.
Robert Ludlum, FFS.
What's with listing book authors, directors and actors here? Do they know Arma code?
'Andy McNab'!

Possibly: For a campaign design, you don't need to know coding?:j:

are you saying Chuck Norris don't know arma code?
we can all sit here and say we want. that guy or this guys to make the mission.
but the fact is. its not our choice who makes the missions. bis handles this fine by them self.
but really. i find this thread pointless.
this threat is as pointless as if i where to make a new one.
Who do you want to make the interface/gui in arma3,. or something like that.

Many of the threads started here are 'pointless'....
But nevertheless people can speculate and fatasize about how they would like Arma3 to be.
Leave them to their dreams.. :P

These 2 would be perfect.

Is the one who builds and scripts the campaign not the author? If I wrote the story and general outline for Zipper5's Blood on the Sand, would it be just my campaign?

It would be your Story. A good campaign needs both, good mission design and a good story.

Sorry, I meant campaign story instead of campaign design. My bad.:(
Off course when it comes to the implementation of the story other people are involved.
