Title: Running a campaign?
Post by: Hero291288 on March 02, 2017, 09:44:55 PM
Hi all,

So yes I've only had one mission with you guys, (looking forward to Sunday!!) however I'm eager to try setting up and running a map/campaign/mission. So the setting...

I want to create a Spec Op mission of extracting intel. Basic mission. Difference being I'm considering a prelim mission that requires a low profile team doing a recon mission? How do people feel about that?

Also I'd like to cap it at a certain number of players maybe 5 so maybe book a day in addition to the show up and play.

I'm looking at how to create missions presently so before I get too into it I'd like to interest first?

Hope this all makes sense. Let me know...

Hero out!

Hi Hero

This is something we've done a little of already.  I recently did a mission called Operation Einstein which was in three parts and a 2 part Zombie mission.
As i've said, i can provide the framework you need which will set up the Revive system and Ammobox we use, plus a load of other stuff which you can use/change if you wish.

We'll not run any missions which will prevent someone from playing, so if you have a 5 player mission and 6 ppl are on our server we won't be playing your mission i'm afraid.
What i would suggest is you create more slots which can be used if ppl are on.  Also, i don't see a reason why, if you really want to play a small prelim mission, that we couldn't do that on another night.  Maybe pop a post up asking for players on another night.  Play the mission and then post up an After Action Report.  And then play the main mission the following Sunday.

If all this sounds ok, drop me a pm with your email and i'll send you the framework.  We can then get on TS one night and i'll go through the basic setup with you.

Yep that sounds reasonable.

I'd never stop people from playing. I can construct the campaign around a 5-man team and if we get more then there is no reason I can't add in extras to accommodate for that. I'm.

I'll drop you a message with the idea and stuff. Couple of other ideas I'd like to try.

Thanks!
