PlannedAssault web based mission builder

[_William]

PlannedAssault, a web based mission builder for Arma2: Combined Operations, Arma 2 and Arma

PlannedAssault, at www.plannedassault.com, takes your input, plans a large scale combined arms battle, and turns this into a single player mission you can download and play.



PlannedAssault lets you:
+ pick pre-configured squads and platoons from the ArmA / Arma II game and mods
+ place platoons and objectives on the map
+ define the situation and story
+ wait a bit for the mission to be generated...
+ download your mission, and finally
+ experience large scale combined arms maneuvers from both friendly and hostile troops

Behind the screens, PlannedAssaults takes care the Arma mission creation technicalities (waypoints, triggers, mission end conditions, synchronization, briefing, tasks, modules, team switching).
It also comes up with plans for all units, so there's no need for you to command friendly troops or tell enemy troops what to do.
When applicable, PlannedAssault will coordinate artillery, close air support, armor, AA and infantry into combined arms attack or defense.

If you like large scale battles involving your favorite units, and want to test your skills as tank gunner, a forward observer, a gunship pilot, register a free account at plannedassault.com and give it a go.

Please view the youtube video below for the mission editing steps and features available as part of the generated mission. Make sure to visit youtube.com to see the video in HD and be able to read the screen capture movies parts.

Wow... Seems very nice. Bit much text for me at this time of night but i can appreciate the grand-ness of this.

Can this be used now or is it only for beta testers as i read on the site? Thaught it might be ready for the masses posted in this thread (complete addons). Im just tired - off to bed but had to read through what my brain could take in as it looks very imressive.

Keep it up!

[SpiritedMachine]

This is insanity... Can't imagine how much time had to go into this... I'm working on a mission now. Working well so far...

[Rainbow]

0utstanding! I really appreaciate work you have put in this.

[Kremator]

Fan-bloody-tastic !

Will try this out tomorrow morning when I get up !

[JoeAnorak]

Couldnt resist trying this out immediately. My GOD its impressive! Have just played through my first, extremely hastily thrown together mission but even that had an incredible and believable atmosphere I rarely find in missions. It really did feel like being part of a large battle where both sides had a clear plan and I was caught in the middle. I was absolutely gobsmacked when the OPFOR AI called in a fire mission on the centre of the village I was defending prior to their assault, even more so when a BLUFOR squad commander called in some IDF on an enemy position on a ridge. I can't wait to delve into this deeper.

One possible fly in the ointment - the AI artillery seemed outrageously acurate, taking out two LAV-25's with one short barrage from a single D30. I'll check again though as it might have been a BMP that got round a flank and was in direct fire (the LAV-25's didn't so mutch as twitch so I suspect it was IDF).

For those interested I was running ACE2 and ZEUS AI (turned of GL4 though as I was pretty sure it would interfere with AI carrying out the plan).

If some British Forces become available in the future i'll be as happy as a pig in the proverbial!

_William i've been playing since OFP was first out and I honestly think this rates as one of the probable greats the community has delivered to us. In particular for those people who struggle in the editor it will be gold dust. Congratulations, thankyou and I look forward to this developing further in the future.

[Loyalguard]

Wow...wow...wow!!!!

[Kroky]

Really surprising tool!

I got tired of the infantry only missions, made for ArmA II. This tool allows combined arms scenarios, like it should be. Will definitely try it out.

[vasmkd]

I like it.
Good work and a great idea

I tried to sign up to test it, but the confirmation email never arrives. So I can't login. What do I wrong?
