New mission for tomorrow: Operation Red Balloons.
Heliborne Rangers assault a Falafel Islamic Army T-80 position on Freya...
See you all this Sunday night.
Well, it'll be Mothers' Day over here, so it'd be sacrilegious of me to fire up OFP tomorrow. Not wanting to face Hell, either here or There, I wish you all your fill of good Falafel plundering!
Pray for me.
Yayyyy Marto is back! Â 8)
;D
It's a Victory day over here, so there's no point playing, we have already won. Or I should just play Call of Duty 5 and shoot some nazi zombies.
No, I'll join anyway.
Mission ready for tonight's coop.
Three teams of 4 rangers.
Assault/command team
Heavy AT team
60mm mortar team
OPERATION RED BALLOONS

Sorry I had to disappear so suddenly last night, my stepdad had a blowout on his car front wheel and I had to go help him fix it.
That said, fuck your mission, fuck the LZ, fuck that damn mortar.Â
There is no way that should have happened. Dead between leaving the helicopter and hitting the ground (really set the atmosphere for the mission though
) and and the only casualty from a mortar falling short... shortly after making a joke about it falling short. :-[

Eeeeeek mental images :o
Edited "Quick Clearance" mission on St David. Changed the VD to 1000 from 1500. Only 6-7 en vehicles so that shouldn't cause lag. Artillery usually doesn't cause lag, and the artillery wasn't being used when lag came. Maybe the ITOW launcher? Or some other vehicle causing it, maybe FIA MTLB like that 2x 23mm AA vehicle in FDF always causes lag? Will be interesting to see if lower VD will reduce lag...
We played that mission twice, and both times I had some strange bug that prevented me from disembarking the chopper in time. I had hit disembark button like 10 times or so and still nothing. First time I disembarked while chopper was on ground, but second time, I actually disembarked only to realize that chopper went into air again and I fell and died. Lame. There was definitely some lag. But mission itself seems cool.

Strange. Maybe try eject just before chopper hits the ground. I do that and it worked fine. And hit the dirt when you disembark as well... don't run in front of the chopper gunner like "someone"........Â

I think the server was just behaving erratically that day. My
The Wilderness mission which we played after that usually has no lag at all, but it was unbelievably laggy on Sunday. Ultimately, both the game server and teamspeak server crashed for me, and presumably the others as well. I couldn't access the CiA website for a while after that. To me that suggests that there was some kind of server maintenance or excessive traffic unrelated to us. Don't know enough about the internet to say for sure. As I recall even Clean Sweep was unusually laggy that day.
