=VG= Calv Posted June 13, 2012 at 09:28 AM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 09:28 AM Going to be making a start on the next campaign soon and figured I'd ask for ideas/feedback. So far we've done a variety of stuff. Infantry assaults, special forces raids, "peacekeeping" patrol.I'm pretty set on having the next one being a BAF campaign but still undecided on location. Fallujah and Isla Duala are at the top of my list at present. Fallujah for the urban, infantry combat and the tactical problems that being in a city and potentially surrounded at all times bring with it.Isla Duala for a nice change of scenery and maybe some interesting potential for missions being in the middle of a conflict that we're not active participants in.One thing I'm going to be trying to do in the next campaign is increase the feeling that we're part of something larger, in the campaigns so far and in other stuff I've done with the Lambs guys it always tends to feel like we're the only friendly units in the region.As for mission types I'm planning to continue and build on making the missions develop with additional objectives and such being activated dependent on actions taken and whether intel is discovered. There will still be some missions with a clear objective to go punch but I'm attempting to add the uncertainty of actual ops by having events unfold on the fly.So feel free to throw out any suggestions you may have, I'm open to pretty much any suggestions, whether they're ideas for missions, squad structure based, or whatever.

=VG= Outlanders Posted June 13, 2012 at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 10:32 AM Mission on Falluja would be nice. Something like extraction or night raid.And tanks. There's a lot of interesting things added in ACE for them. What do you think about Armored Event.And after watching Terremer's video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN2ODFAgSOkAre there any good snow maps?

=VG= Calv Posted June 13, 2012 at 10:54 AM Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 10:54 AM Thirk island has a a snow version, fairly sparse island with a few towns and lots of trees.Been considering having an armoured mission, been avoiding using heavy stuff along with infantry as the balance is difficult to get right, but with our numbers it wouldn't be that hard to have a full armoured mission with mix of tanks/IFVs and maybe an infantry team with an objective to complete.

=VG= Outlanders Posted June 13, 2012 at 10:57 AM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 10:57 AM Sounds good. Maybe something in between. Like 2 Fireteams and Bradley providing support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted June 13, 2012 at 12:33 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 12:33 PM Duala or Lingor (Dingor) would be awesome as "part of a larger battle" theme as they have their own unit factions and vehicles. This is something I've spend some time screwing around with as I personally enjoy that type of mission the most. If that's the way you're leaning also have some ideas for you with regards to AI vs AI battles and respawning AI units back into the fight.Other good urban island - Emita City:http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15482vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lJFBg9NgZoMost beautiful island in the game and also excellent for armored combat - Carraigdubh:http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16435vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW9HsicDXf8Excellent armor or air combat island (400km2) - Fayshkhabur:http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14999vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na1fmM29RoAu like armored combat? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLijQi-F_p4Good winter islands:Thirskhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9861Winter Pomegratskayahttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8633Battle of Bulgehttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14871Vostok Winterhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13807Etah Plateau (Antarctica)http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14972Mount Cook Islandhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13238There are quite a few winter units and vehicles as well and even winter weapons packs.

=VG= Calv Posted June 13, 2012 at 12:39 PM Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 12:39 PM Aye, I'm thinking a BAF campaign on Fallujah followed by a campaign on Isla, possibly with us as UN units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Wooz2770 Posted June 13, 2012 at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 12:47 PM I really like the idea of a fallujah mission, so far i havent really had a mission with pure urban combat. Like outlander said, maybe a night raid or an extraction? I would like to see more CQC.I also like the idea of more armored combat:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like outlander said, maybe a night raid or an extraction? I would like to see more CQC.It'll be a set of missions similar to what we've done so far. So around 4 missions that continue from each other. I'll likely have a fair bit of civilian interaction in the missions, either having to interrogate them for info, or having them approach you with information. Then the info can lead to either be truthful, an ambush, or nothing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suomikeizari Posted June 13, 2012 at 07:24 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 07:24 PM some UN missions would be really welcome, any new factions we can introduce would be great.Calv, remember that many of us dont have the BAF DLC meaning that its not pleasant to play with them :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisi123 Posted June 13, 2012 at 07:43 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 07:43 PM yeah for now we should stick to ace for sure. but i hope we can realise that idea cause it would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suomikeizari Posted June 13, 2012 at 11:35 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 at 11:35 PM if baf then yes for the unit pack, the one poffadder was showing has some problems with shadows and the one calv gave is for spec. ops. better than old ones tho!EDIT: NVM the SAS pack looks quite good!also if we are going with some faction I recommend forcing the use of that faction's weapons for at least one mission, this will bring more experience with different weapon systems.for example I myself am not that impressed with L85A2 but I wouldn't go with any other while playing as a British soldier.

=VG= Calv Posted June 14, 2012 at 11:41 AM Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 at 11:41 AM Aye, using em now and they seem fine. Not gonna be using the backpacks that come with the pack anyway as they don't seem ace compatible, so not a huge issue.Only "problem" I've had so far is the weapons not being available in LEA so having to do the loadouts, then go through the file and manually change the classnames. Only a minor annoyance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
