Hi, I hate to reactivate an old topic but there is a scenario I continually find myself wanting to play.

I really enjoyed BI's Game Over mission once I activated saves and was able to spend time moving around the island with Kerry, assisting and what-not when possible.

Game-over had this sort of panic where anything you can do is good so long as you keep alive. I was disappointed though when I discovered enemies de-spawn if you move too far away from them ruining the experience. The other problem is that it doesn't randomize at all. Everything is in the same place every time.

How hard would it be to do a Game Over -> Alive conversion. I'd like to keep things like your team the same, but simply randomize/refresh enemy units.

I'd really appreciate a scenario like this.

I understand that. What I don't understand is mission making so I was making a request.

I guess in plain English what I'd be asking for is NATO vs CSAT on Altis with AAF and FIA on the sidelines and me, on the NATO/FIA side as a Merc but not directly connected to anything(i.e. no commanders tablet) but with the option to make small differences in the battle.

If I was playing on Tanoa, for instance, I'd like to actually play a single small side-role such as a mercenary with ALiVE handling the main battle.

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love ALiVE and what it does for ARMA, but the missions I've seen so far give the player too much freedom in terms of *free* equipment and vehicles to where I either run off into enemy territory and get killed or I just want to sit back on the side lines and wait to see how the war develops before jumping into play.

Too much of a lone wolf I guess.

Not to bump an old thread, but if you are still taking requests I would love to see an RHS: USAF force against a Leights OpFor Middle Eastern Militia on Lythium in a classic ACE 2 Insurgency Cache Hunt mission :)

I wouldn't expect too much, I don't know anyone still using Leights OpFor and Lythium just doesn't work nicely with ALiVE, there's way too many dead zones where nothing spawns, and try as I might I haven't been able to find anyone who understands that sort of thing with the time to really dive in and work out why.

I always confuse LOP with Project OPFOR :P The group I'm making missions for is dead set on using Lythium. I personally would much rather use CLAfhgan or even Takistan, but can't convince everyone else of the fact that Lythium and ALiVE don't play nice.

Hey if they're happy driving through a ton of empty villages/settlements then all power to them.
It has the same issue with the BTC Hearts and Minds mission as well, lots of dead spots with no activity.

Takistan is grade A++ Insurgency material, I've yet to find a better map in terms of performance, size, enterable buildings etc. It's just a shame I've made too many mission on there now :P

That's what I told them (rather forcefully), but hopefully we can get one small campaign done. I'm using AuburnAlumni's Lythium mission as a template, and after that I'll try and get everyone to switch over again.

Low intensity warfare between two asymetric factions. Because... guerilla warfare is underrated.
