Thats an excellent mission. Hope to play it tonight with 6 others.

Rocket · 07-22-2009, 10:09 PM

Please post any bugs you find, and how you found the specific location the targets met at. I'm open to updating the mission based on any testing results I can get my hands on.

kdjac · 07-23-2009, 02:37 PM

Only bug is the stuck in chopper which is mentioned, a restart fixed that.

Hope to be trying again tonight with the full team, server is in ireland if you want to join.

EDIT location wellington NZ.....nm

One issue to note:

When you get to the extraction location, the AI helicopter will come in and land but keep its engine running. It will wait fifteen minutes, and if you're not on board, it will depart. Now, while he's landed if he comes under fire he WILL take off and engage them.

If this happens, you need to fire a flare, and he will come and do a full stop landing. Last night, we were under intense enemy fire and when I did this, he came in to land and we had a full team. It took about 15 seconds to get everyone in the helicopter and by the time we did this, the helicopter had taken two AT rounds. In an updated version, I will change it so that if the helicopter is damaged beyond takeoff, another one will be dispatched.

Some advice:

As soon as you first hear the C130 (Talon One), drop a smoke to get him to drop an ordinance crate. Use the mines/satchels to destroy vehicles that you need.
Ensure at least two members of your team have Flare launching enabled weapons. If not, you won't be able to recall the helicopter if he takes off!

This mission is simply awesom. It starts out pretty standard but then ramps up and the ending is extremely tense. We liked it A LOT.

One thing i would recommend changing though. IMO the weapon dealer's chooper should arrive a bit sooner - it took so long we thought something got broken in the script but eventually it came.

Great stuff, thanks a lot.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I keep an eye on how long people are playing the mission through the server stats agregators out there, and it seems most people are playing it right through which is good news.

I've got a new version ready to go, with a few updates, and I'll move the enemy chopper arrival time forward a bit so you're not waiting as long.

Let me know any other idea's and I'll include them.

Great mission. I got to the part where your watching the terrorist leader by his car waiting for the heli to arrive. I gave the order to my squad go stealth, go prone, hold fire.

They did for a bit but some bastard AI opened fire after a few mins. We killed the men on the ground but the heli never landed cuz he got spooked

I'll try this one again with my buds.
