Next Campaign Suggestions

[=VG= Calv]

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.

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.

Are there any good snow maps?

[=VG= Calv]

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]

Sounds good. Maybe something in between. Like 2 Fireteams and Bradley providing support.

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

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.

Aye, I'm thinking a BAF campaign on Fallujah followed by a campaign on Isla, possibly with us as UN units.

[=VG= Wooz2770]

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:)

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.

[suomikeizari]

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 :/

[=VG= Calv]

Don't worry, you'll be too busy watching for suicide bombers and ambushes to notice the crappy weapon texture

[chrisi123]

i had the idea to implent a new mod such a vietnam one ! it would be great and i have already missions for vietnam the experience. but i don't know if it's too early for a new mod already..

If you want to do BAF then please check out these mods:

British 3 Rifle Infantry MTP :

UKF weapons:

L115A3 :

Anyone without the BAF DLC will appreciate these mods. They are better quality than the DLC too.

Aye was looking at them earlier, the weapon packs didn't seem worth it, though could be handy for night missions as they have NV/Thermal scopes available.
Was considering that unit pack to alleviate the issues for people without BAF DLC.

Also considering this unit pack too:
SJB SAS:

[chrisi123]

yeah for now we should stick to ace for sure. but i hope we can realise that idea cause it would be awesome!

[=VG= Murderface0151]

using different BAF units than the Bohemia ones would work pretty well i reckon lol. i can NOT stand poor textures

[=VG= poffadder]

The UKF weapon pack is pretty good, I love the modernised L85A2.

[suomikeizari]

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.

I do that for all my missions, hence why you've all been using M4s.

V1.1

-Shadow problems fixed (mainly backpack related)

These are pretty high quality units, I have used them for a long time.(Not with ACE though.)

[=VG= Calv]

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.

Me too. That's why I dished out the whopping $10 for BAF DLC so my favorite game is all it can be.
(just kidding, I got my BAF and PMC for free - but still, they are both worth their $10 each)
!pleasantry

[=VG= Outlanders]

That's true.

[=VG= Wooz2770]

i have a suggestion on the next campaign

The tech guys have tracked down the hackers that attacked the TS server. command wants these guys taken care of ASAP. you?ll have full air support and armor support.
Our reckon teams have tracked them to a basement in (fill in dumb city), the house is rented by the name of woman, in her late 60?s, this leads us to believe that the suspects are living in they?re moms basement.

further information pending.

yeah i've purchased them before, then ran into arma issues and had to do a full re-install at one point. lost the files for the BAF units. im not paying an extra cent if i can download more than adequate units for free lol. but yeah, those units are good as.

[=VG= Outlanders]

Murder, where did you get them?
