co20 Operation Foothold

Trenchfoot · 07-09-2009, 02:37 AM

Operation Foothold is a coop mission for 1 to 20 players (5 man squads). The theater of operations is Chernarus. USMC attacking RUSSIAN controlled territory.

Status: Finalizing

Features
-Dawn coastal assault from small island using RHIBs
-Ammunition crates contain all available weapons
-Moving respawn point as operation progresses
-Detail oriented design (unit by unit) and helpful briefing text
-Some randomness to add replay value
-Upon capture of the airstrip, access to select armor, aircraft and other facilities
-Optional objectives and most towns in SW Chernarus are lightly occupied by the ennemy forces for search and destroy
-Much more to discover

Operation Objectives
First Objective:
Capture Port Balota - Travel West from Galova Island along the coast but keep a good distance from the shore. Make a beach landing at one of the suggested landings near your destination. You may then make your way on land to capture Port Balota.

Second Objective:
Destroy Radio Tower - As a prelude to an all out assault on Balota Airstrip, take out the main Radio Tower. This is vital to preventing the ennemy from calling in reinforcements not to mention preserving the element of surprise in our next objective. Failure to destroy the Radio Antenna before assaulting Balota Airstrip may have dire consequences! (hint: any explosive should do the trick)

Third Objective:
Capture Balota Airstrip - With the commmunications tower destroyed, the ennemy can not call for reinforcements or report our presence. We can now capture Balota Airstrip and plan the next phase of our operation.

Final Objective:
Attack Chernogorsk - We have laid the groundwork for this main assault on the manufacturing city of Chernogorsk. Eliminate ennemy assets and capture the city of Chernogorsk. This will deal a severe blow to ennemy production capabilities. Expect to perform house-to-house combat as you clear the city unless you utilize armor or air strikes to burn it to the ground!

Optional Objectives:
-Optional: Perform a surprise attack on the main ennemy airbase in the North. Destroy their air force as it sits on the tarmac!
-Optional: Perform a surprise attack on the ennemy tank depot in the city of Elektrozavodsk. Destroy their armor as it sits idle!

Note on Optional Objectives: Bypassing these two may end up with you receiving some inbound ennemy reinforcements (which are tracked on your map) but it's nothing you can't handle right?
-Communications chatter indicates Ennemy Armor inbound!
-Communications chatter indicates Ennemy Aircraft inbound!

To Do:
- Not sure if civilians are necessary but they would add alot to the atmosphere.
- Bug fixing (need testers!)
- Suggestions?

wow dude badass. ima check it out right now

ok, First looks like nice work, but right at the start there are a few bugs.

When I start the map, the first thing is: Everyone is getting killed and respawns.
multiple times....

The KI is nuts (as usual).
Either remove the KI, or just complete the used Squads if that's possible (just when there is a player in the squad)
edit: even my squad-KI is insane Oo
My number 4 is dead and the me-KI constantly calls for him.

Suggestion: A better Place for the Start of the mission.
A concrete-platform in the middle of nowhere?
I Suggest an Island or so (don't know what the editor offers you there)

As nice at it is to have an "officer", the uniform is not really practical for battle.
Maybe replace it with Squadleader or so, make them a Sgt and give them a proper outfit

last addition for now:
Some SpecOps Equipment which fits the mission better than a M16

So. Im going to continue testing now.
But looks like there's a great basis

Great feedback, I will make the necessary changes and post an update.

Sounds good will give it a whirl this evening.

Trenchfoot · 07-09-2009, 06:29 PM

I have made some changes for V1.1:

- Players now start on a small island East of the objective instead of a barge. (watch out for coastal gun emplacements on your way to the landing!)
- Modified squad ranks and player models to remove officers.
- Weapon crates now contain all possible weapons and ammo
- Weapon crates were placed on the starting island so you can select whatever loadout you wish.
- Populated more towns.
- Disabled AI players in MP.

Me and a bunch of my friends tried out your mission today (the 1.0 version).
I think you are on the right track, especially with the 1.1 changes!
But maybe you could turn down the fog quite a bit? It makes the air units quite unusable and you can hardly see anything at all.

Trenchfoot · 07-10-2009, 02:33 AM

Thanks for your feedback.

A new version is now released: V1.2.

Changes:
- Removed fog and improved weather.
- General improvements and fixes.

Trenchfoot · 07-10-2009, 06:52 AM

Fixed some triggers not working in MP. Up to V 1.3 now.

I would definitely agree with the fog, good to see it patched up in 1.2.
It makes for great atmosphere, but it's not terribly fun to play with vs AI.

Only cleared out the landing so far, but that was a lot of good fun.
Looking forward to giving 1.3 a go.

Keep it up!
