ARMA2 event 25.09.2012 - Roll Call

[Leimboy]

We're ready for another Arma2 event this Tuesday evening.
I haven't decided on a mission yet but I would like to try something new this evening and hopefully we'll be enough players to try a somewhat bigger mission this time. Time will show and I'll see if I can find something suitable for us

If you want to join this event, let me know by typing a short message in this thread.

I'm on TS from 2000 CET.

So....who's joining?

[Ogami Itto]

[Leimboy]

Goody!

I've found a new mission that sounds really interesting: Silent Rescue co-06 by Murcielago.

Features (some of the most important at least):
1. Stealth system: To allow you to kill enemies with stealth for the first time in Arma 2.
2. Detection system of corpses: The enemy will react if they see a corpse.
3. Tweaked AI: AI is capable to look randomly to any direction, move inside building, detect corpses, move with random paths, look through windows, and patrol at random areas…
4. Complete hostage system: Fully explained hostage system.
5. Stealth explosive system: Allows you to destroy targets without being detected.
6. Realistic reinforcement system: AI units will be created inside barracks or will be dropped from helicopters.
7. Advanced satellite camera: It allows you to study the terrain and share the info with all the other players.
8. Complete strategic bombing system: Fully explained laser designator system.
12. Whistle feature: You can use the whistle action to pay your colleagues attention. A temporary marker will be created where you were looking at.
17. Multiple different ways to finish the mission.

In Silent Rescue you will need to rescue a hostage on one hand, on the other hand, you will need to find a satellite phone inside a building and hack it to stop the enemy reinforcements. Once you are detected the enemy can use reinforcements (Soldiers and helicopters with soldiers)

Players have roles to do:
. Medic: Capable to heal colleagues and deploy a respawn tent. Can not carry sniper rifles.
. Satellite operator: Capable to mark targets using the satellite camera. All other players will receive the information automatically.
. Strategic bombing operator: Capable to send six targets to be destroyed by the harrier.
. Ammo Soldier: Capable to create ammo for everyone. Can not carry sniper rifles.
. Engineer (x2): Capable to attach stealth charges to the targets.

If you want a specific role of the above, please let us know by writing it in this thread. I will try to update the list below accordingly so everyone can see

Team setup:
Medic: Wotan
Satellite operator: Ogami
Strategic bombing operator: Wapwap
Ammo Soldier: Leimboy
Engineer: Rolfy
Engineer: HaJa

 

[Wotan]

You know who the medic is, do you?

 

[Leimboy]

I think I do, yes

 

[Rolfy]

I ll be there!

 

[Wapwap]

I'll be there!

 

[Ogami Itto]

I found an interesting one called Cipher at AA.info. Hinds and Armor buy they allow you AT, so it could be done although I was not able to with the AI as teammates, they're just not stealthy enough FFR.

 

[Leimboy]

Good find Ogami! Incidentally I found that mission as well when browsing through their library earlier today and have it installed now. We may try it tonight if the other mission fails in any way

 

[HaJa]

Sorry mates, a slight hickup in the internet connection made me retire early yesterday.

 

[Leimboy]

We guessed that it had to be something like that. Bad luck, but at least you joined us through the bigger part of the event

 

[Leimboy]

Only two screens from our first mission was worth anything this time and just a few from the second. FRAPS have a unique tendency to ignore all the cool stuff somehow.

First we pe played the "Silent Rescue", which turned out to be neither silent nor to any help to our poor hostage. Oh well...next time!

After that we headed out on a Picnic - a mission made by theOden which has a random number of random tasks for us to solve. It turned out to be quite fun with diverse and fun tasks.

Heading out from the carrier. Badasses in Boats (tm)

And this was the result....ooops!

A genious plan with no drawbacks...right? RIGHT? Right! (everyone respawned back at base LOL)

This guy clearly don't trust my piloting skills. How dare he!

Oh! OK, so he was right then

One of the tasks, the radar mast, is taken care of.

Oh shiii....! :icon_eek:

Outro after completing the last objective.

Notice the smoke in the background. Stroker found out the hard way that apparently a C-130 can't be landed uphill LOL

It was a very fun evening with lots to do and we also got to try out the sneaky part of ARMA2, which didn't turn out too well. The mission was complex with a lot of new ways to do things so I give the mission all the blame for our failure in the first mission.
In the second mission we were joined by Stroker (aka James in the screenshots). It was fun to play together with you Stroker and I hope we'll see you joining later events too.

Thanks again for a very fun evening gents!

 

[StrokesUK]

Hiya, had a fun evening with you guys, first time i've really played Arma 2. Should bump into you again soon!

 

[Leimboy]

Glad to hear that, StrokesUK! Looking forward to see you in-game again
