Mission ideas

[wipman]

Hi, will be very pimp if we had more than one campaign with just
one side, i'll like to see some completly different campaigns; one
with the Marines, other with a different history/background with
the russians and even another with the rebels side.
Even one with the civilians trying to find their way out from the
war zone will be very pimp; to play it with as much a pistol and
two magazines, very scripted and with some kind of text options
ala RPG, that may be pimp... . Let's C ya

I think VIP EXTRACTION mixed with bigger mission to get to final objective? example:BLACK HAWK DOWN, would be interesting.extraction being only ***1 part of a mission.driving and fighting thru hostile fire.
helos need refueling?planes and tanks at designated resupply point,engineer class responsible for resupply point/defense?
Now that ARMA2 is in the pipeline the possibilities of what you can do in a game like this, puts me in a state of awe.
gamming since wired framed games,seeing the progression to ARMA2 ,which I've just recently upgraded for the sole purpose of this games release in retail.q6600 4gig ram 1TB HD 4870 HD GC . your Studio is putting a game concept in line with one I've been dreaming about for 27 years.thank you.
After playing 1800+hrs of bf2,and COD4, W@W I've been waiting.ARMA2 it is, by far the best game being released this year,by what I've seen so far. FPS is involved? I hope so,along with team and squad set up.


Piloted UAV'z? for ground support?yes?
another mission flag cap is always a favorite. free roam assault? civilian protection/search and destroy? recon and ambush?
ranks and stats tracked,higher ranks have priority in vehicles squad leader and commander interface,for orders and mission objectives commader controlled ***manned UAV's.?.
I ***haven't seen much in the way of missions, but Im sure you all have some good ones up your sleeves.

if tunnels haven't been implemented, they should for ground troops trying to avoid detection and cover for airstrikes,I'm sure some could be incorperated? different objectives in mission would be a new idea too,also free roam like GTA4/ AKA TEAM DEATHMATCH.not just flag cap,even tho that's still good.your call.

WHENS THE PC ALPHA ,BETA? sign me up
spec\out

I think a great idea would be to have the ability to change the insertion and extraction points in the campaign and not have them set, in Special forces the groups are often given an objective and some resources and they are left to plan the insertion and extraction etc.
I often try this in ARMA1 xr warfare servers, i'm given the enemy base location, i mark myself some waypoints, fly my helicopter, land it then hike a few km or even take my boat to the shoreline from san tomas or rahmadi! Then i laser the enemy base and we win ***
But what i'm saying is that i don't like the set insertion and extraction pts in the ARMA1 campaign.
Maybe this will be included in ARMA2 as you progress through the military ranking system to eventually become high commander but i hope BI gives this a thought

1 retreval of vip in conflict envirement. Think ala tears of the sun . Your team has to extract a vip .
2 direct action
3 search and destroy. Destroy key members or other enemy forces
4 combat search and rescue. extract downed pilots or other allied personel behind enemy lines
5 forward observer / guiding laser guided bombs to the target
6 deep recon.
7 extracting civilian personel from a certain area to prevent genocide
8 bomb damage essement
9 hostage rescue
10 collecting valuble enemy documents
11 harrasing enemy forces
12 sabotage missions

anyone care to discuss mission in the campaign

[oscar19681]

Some feedback please?

[Balschoiw]

We have no idea what the BIS campaign(s) will look like, so there´s little to discuss for us unfortunally. I guess input for certain missions is a bit late I´m afraid as the plot for the campaign hould be already fixed by now and most likely the campaign is already in the works if not more.
You still can do such missions once the game gets released.

I would like to see a mission where you communicate directly to the leader of one of the seperatists/underground factions and they ask you do something like raid a government encampent(that you have to locate by talking to civilians to get intel) and free or take hostage someone of importance.It could be to get supplies or whatever for them aswell. Then there could be a mission like the ChDZK is losing the fight quickly and you need to track down OR help the fleeing warlord.

An Evolution mission in the Vanilla Version of ArmA II made by the dev´s would be awesome!
(for Multiplayer)

[Mavericko]

That wouldn't be realistic

A soldier cant do what he wants...

Well thats not completely true, for special operations forces, sometimes they simply get "extract object A from this location" and it is up to the team itself to decide how to proceed with the mission

Oh and in the interview from Tascali you can see a hint:

"Left click your mouse while holtding "Alt" on position where you want to be picked up

Keep in mind that the chopper always travel from the base.
It takes some time!

You can also board the chopper in the base straight away"
