Would love team 1's rifleman AT

Sign me up on opfor please

Thank you to everyone who attended and I hope you enjoyed it despite not being free to attend it myself it's been a pleasure setting it up with melon.

I wanted to do something new after playing on COOP and playing the same maps over and over and let people experience a breath of fresh and old air.

Apologies for the maps being too easy, it's been noted for the future and will be worked on in the next retro maps event, which could be on the PvP only maps there like Qwai River and Retro Muttrah/Basrah, or on the OPFOR side in coop, depending on what people will prefer when a new event is planned.

I'm in!

Can the PW be posted here as well? I don't have discord.

Aye, I'll update the forum post like an hour or two before 6 PM so people can join and get comfy

Thank you for attending!

I hope you enjoyed the event, and I hope to see you again in the next one, it's been a pleasure.

We will be hosting an event on Saturday (24th of February) at 6 PM GMT which will include some maps from this map pack (Download here) the maps we plan on playing will be Gulf of Oman, Operation Phoenix, Hills of Hamgyong, Helmands Return, Daqing Oilfields, Seven Gates, and Zatar Wetlands in no particular order and possibly not restricted to just those maps, as of now we are currently testing the above maps to make sure they function as intended and don't crash or cause problems. Many thanks to melon for dusting off the event server and setting it.

This post and the VG discord will have the password an hour or so before the event starts.

Gulf of Oman

Operation Phoenix

Hills of Hamgyong

Helmands Return

Daqing Oilfields

Seven Gates

And last but not least

Zatar Wetlands

Hope to see you on the server!

My opinion guys, I'm not sure if it's possible. A coop server which can randomize sides. For instance Mutrah, we're US side then in the map cycle, Mutrah repeats where we will be MEC, in another cycle as insurgents etc.  

I think admins to do a proof of concept (POC) for the gamers to experience it and there will be a poll if they like it or not. Though it may entail a lot of admin intervention or server restarts and may not be possible to automate.  It's like randomizing a playlist, you can't predict the next song.

If the randomize side is feasible to be coded by the devs, with a config which the admin can switch on or off, or a script to execute by the server admin to enable or disable the mod.

Cheers.

If this IS possible, it wouldn't be a good idea. If a single map has 4 versions of it, Std, Alt, Inf and Lrg, then it will be as if the whole server is playing that map for the entire day, which will make players bored overtime. I like the concept, but it needs to be thought very well through.

Thank you for your replies, they give great details as to why this wouldn't work that well. I understand the issue here now, it would be a huge time waster after every PR update to redo all the changes made, which is very reasonable, OPFOR Fridays seems like a very interesting idea. with the right maps, I don't think it will require a lot of effort to revive it, perhaps have it as bi-weekly if players don't enjoy it every week, until then, thank you all very much, I appreciate your comments.

Well the idea I'm proposing is much simpler, it only requires the bot ratio be set to 0 I believe for all bots to be on the US side, a new CO-OP server would be preferable so as to not interfere with the original CO-OP server

Just now, =VG= m823us said:

We use to do things called opfor Fridays, where we would take the bot sides. However, people hated it after a few maps and would drop out since they didn't like the kits. 

I know @=VG= Melon Munchertried to spark interest via a poll and had a poor turnout from people responding. 

Was it the same exact idea?

My suggestion to you is making a new CO-OP server (or a weekly event, which ever you choose works) which switches the teams, so for example on Muttrah City, the US side will have bots, and the MEC side will have players, same rules apply, Thanks.
