Batlle field earth beta

[D.murphy man]

Hey again peeps!

As well as the skye virus I have complete a solo project:
Battle field earth.

It is a single player mission based on the X-com classic stragy games.But it can allso be played in multiplayer with 6 other buddies,as long as they are patient and do not fool around.

It is pretty simple to get to grips with but i recomend you read the breifing firtst.

addons and missions can be found at my newly opend site:

Shells workshop

Thnx,
*** ***Shell shock
EDIT:
Iknow this is a bit breif so ill put down all the features.

In this mission you as a leader of a highly trained military unit speciley created to fight a unkowen alien force.You must protect the city and citizecne of petrovice from the alien threat.

Features:

*A supplie system

*use supplies to buy equipment and vehicals for your squad

*Aliens attack the city at random times and in random numbers

*Attacks will occure randomly in major citys all over the island (in later versions)

*will be able to recrute new squad members (later versions)

*Reaserch to upgrade your weapons and vehicles (later versions)

Oh my god dude that is so awesome!

I played your mission for like 5 hours non-stop and loved every minute of it. It kinda felt like X-COM again, and to tell the truth I didnt expect that. Wow, hey could you please add a better choice of vehicles and weapons? And maybe some repair trucks and ammo truck, etc, that would be nice! Also I would love it if you could FDF mod's XA188 Pasi to the list of available-buyable vehicles, it's just so kind of futuristic looking and fits the atmosphere. Thanks dude for this great mission.

P.S I played this with FDF mod, it's better than original.

Thnx m8,
Nice idea but I do not want to add addon vehicals (as this limits the range of ppl who can play it) And allso i do not have the FDF mod (dont want all thous addons clogling up my OFP )

P.S.the current Battle Field earth on my website is the new updated single player version.

Okay I kind of edited the thing...you know for pure...ammm enjoyment for meself...I will not release it then, well not without your permission anyway. I added BAS MH47 and instead of M113, there is XA185 Pasi from FDF. Also I replaced both the cargo transporter/weapon bringing truck and the money bringing truck with M113s because of pure frustration when I find out that my base was swarming with aliens (which by the way I had no notification, fixed that) and at that same unfortunate moment the truck with money came and the driver got killed. So no money for me. Also I added a kind of jukebox (for some nice tunes while alien ass kicking) and the ability to save the game by 0-0-1. And finally I replaced the crew model with BAS rangers, I dont know why....


Some more ideas:
How about a sort of an antennae tower that you can upgrade. (thats when you make the aliens attack different cities) Say at first, your tower can pick up distress signals from Petrovice only, and hence your income would be low (say 250sps), then as you gradually upgrade it your range increases so does your funding. Thats how it was in X-Com... Also how about the ability to create other bases (again increasing the range but costing more) also as I'm typing this I got another idea. You know how you can only recruit 5 soldiers? Well in X-Com you could recruit more by upgrading your barracks, so why not implement it here.

On the contrary, your mission gave an idea: To make a whole new X-Com mod, with geniune models.

Okay thats it before another crazy-whacky-unintelligible idea pops into my head...

Well you have my permission to realese your Battle field earth 'Remix' mission .

And for the ideas,Love the one about upgradble antennae tower! I will try and script this (cnt think how to go about it at this moment) allso the barracks idea is nice too.I was all ready planing to make the ablity to build new bases,Or in the mission they can be Out posts.I might even try make some simple multi commandble squad system,so you can deal with a encounter on the other side of the island without having to fly your squad from one end to the other,and just simpley have sqauds in diffrent out posts across the island.

Allso i have heard that there is all ready a X-com mod,i will try to see if i can find any thing onit now.

Hold on so yer saying that you have updated the mission since yesterday? (With research, random cities, etc???)

[D.murphy man]

no im saying that i have updated BFE since this thread was first posted (witch was a while ago,supprise aint been locked)

Because the very first beta of BFE was orginaly MP but when i tested it with other ppl i found that most of the 'avrage' players did not have the pations to wait for the weapons arrive and aliens to attack.(Plust no one would read the fucking breifing )

So i delelted the other playes and kept it single,allso added recruitble Soldiers.

Any chance you update it soon?
Pleeeeeeeeaaaase?

[D.murphy man]

Hmm well i havent worked on it on quite some time but i think ill go back to it soon,just a bit short on time latley
