Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 no downloads to enjoy this, as it's part of the game. We've been doing this on our Friday Tactical Domination Nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJsarge Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 If we update the OpFor Com mission (maps are what you play on. Cherno and Utes are maps, Domi is a mission) to use the assets from the TacDom mission, you'll need to download the LittleBirds addon. But that's because there's models/sounds/etc. in there that aren't included with the game. Most of the mission variants are done not with mods, but with scripts that don't require any external assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsilenced Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 this has been some great fun and i know some of you put alot of work into this... im not sure what it is maybe the added snipers to opfor and the respawn time but it feals to much like a version of pvp now.. i think it would be nice to go back to normal atleast everyoce in awhile... so i have to ask anyone else feal this way?

PANiC Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 i think the AI is too dumb/easy/predictable, if the opfor commander is playing properly then the game is much more of a challenging and it's a different ballgame every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 *Puts neutral coder/moderator hat on* Its not hard to add or remove to the East side and we can do what the members feels best. We could also easily go back to vanilla domination, but I somehow doubt it would stay vanilla for long. We have recieved alot of positive feedback on this map, but its good to keep in mind that change isn't always a bad thing if we want to try a new direction. I'm looking forward to Kavlarokos's Utes assault map when its done, and some of Durka's TvT map nights too. I'd love to hear what others think too. *Puts KalXen hat on* IMHO - I kinda find it humorous that it takes just 1-3 humans on opfor side vs the 25-30+ humans on the other to provide enough angst for people. I think this is fed by the only real differences is that you now know that enemy unit tracking you is a player with a name, get told by which unit killed you, and humans do a lot better job than the mindless souls that are sniped on the field (except for Haloelite cuz he's a bad shot.) I have seen some people play Opfor commander and lengthen the AO takeover 3-4 hours longer than normal because theya re great tactitians, and I have seen others do nothing. We were bored with the vanilla domination because it was very predictable. Its that flexibility that now keeps us on our toes. Metrics-wise, if we compared the Death ratio, the East guys are dead most of the time when they try to engage. I think on average the opfor human players have increased the average death count by 1-2 per person on map. Things changed a bit when opfor had an ammobox. I also believe that the OPFOR commander piece has made our server unique amongst all the other dozens of Domination out there. New players have been showing up and while this is increasing our need to admin, it is also breathing more life into the gameplay and letting us make new friends. In the end, that is the dividend of Sparta - new friends. (Shaddup Medic, don't o Rly me..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe that the OPFOR commander piece has made our server unique amongst all the other dozens of Domination out there. i agree its a unique game mode, give credit were credit is due of course... but this is not what has made sparta server popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I don't plan to debate my personal feedback, thats not constructive. We constantly listen to what the populace in general and the admins wish to do and readjust accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I am not a big TvT fan especially in Arma, I dont like the spirit it sometimes engenders. But having said that the opfor commander is an interesting dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsilenced Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 the real issue here is the default dom was too easy, it aloud people to rambo around and the op4 commander did help stop this... being that ace has dealt with some of this, its still in the future for sparta.so how about finding a way to improve the ai in general via scripting .... or just make the mission it self harder..
