First Wave of 1stMIP Troops Deploy to Sahrani



Today first wave of soldiers from 1st Mechanized Infantry Platoon, an international peace force, has landed on Sahrani.



The unit is building a temporary HQ on northeast part of the island, near the town Pita.






Public Office Reconstructed

Reconstruction of lightly damaged public office is completed. The office was attacked by a hostile group called BHF (Bunny Hoppers Forever) last week. You can visit the new 1stMIP public office here

Bommando

Those don't look like BF2 screenshots. Did you put all your settings on low or something?

John CANavar

This means war 7th, war I say... Come to Sahrani and show us your settings

NorCalRoach

Oh no...7th and 1st show down in Sahrani. I voluteer to be commentator if Bommando promises to televise it... seriously, nice work John. The 1st is well respected...you guys put "Reality" in an otherwise unreal situation. E-male, Sassy and the others always make this game fun.

Take on one of the 7th and you take on ALL of the 7th.

He's right, you know.

(well, after all, we can make it a 7th SOP to get the game in order to settle a quarrel, at the least )

Coridon

Fine, fine. If you guys come sniffing around we'll disperse the 7ths motley mob with our nonlethal Active Denial System.

Come to think of it, a harsh scolding might get the job done just as easily, and with less damage to your corneas!

Also, not to break ranks or question authority, I too am wondering how this was posted in the BF2 "General Discussion" forum.

John?

John: "As you know, you post in the forums you have, not the forums you might want or wish to have at a later time."

Coridon: "But there's a ArmA forum right here."

John: "I'm not into this detail stuff. I'm more concepty."

John CANavar

Cor, say hello to imaginary John from me

As for the reason, we shared a lot with TG BF2 community and I wanted to let them know what we are doing.

Beatnik

I am a little confused... what is this exactly? An Armed Assault map?

Those shots are from a 1stMIP campaign for ArmA. I am creating a base which will have several training courses (you can see a tactical movement - bounding course in the background of 3rd pic). With a couple of mouse clicks, you can create a living world (objects and animations are ready to go) even on a low-end machine. ArmA editor sets the high standard for a game editor. I havent seen another one so easy to use.

Idea is to have a consistent game world in which you start your missions from your base. Outcome of a mission will affect the next one.

I will share the details and progress in ArmA forums. Original post was meant to be just a 1stMIP status update in BF2 forums... I do not accept responsibility for BF2 players switching to ArmA due to my actions

Hoss

I'm slightly confused. I've seen all kinds of videos and such for ArmedA and can't wait to get my hands on it though!

There's something rather "Village People" about that 3rd image. Is that a YMCA outpost?

Heh, I don't think YMCA issues M4 Carbines, Interceptor Body Armor (Old Woodland Cover) or ACUs.
