submitted this coop mission for ArmA 2.
Quote Smokey :
This is the first mission of our Campaign Operation Urgent Fury:Takistan is being overun by the taliban and is in need of support. The UN has not looked at the country until recently because of the rise in terrorist attacks across the world. The U.S has taken a stand and decided to move in to liberate the nation from these terrorists. These radicals have gotten their hands on some old AA weaponry, and even though they may not be trained on the weapons or know how to use them properly, they still pose an imminent threat to SOAR and our Air Force. U.S.SOCOM has been issued to HALO in behind enemy lines and take these AA sites out before the invasion force comes in to capture the southern airfield. Delta, 7th SFG, and SEAL Team 3 will be going in to take out the AA sites. They have 5 hours to take the sites out and they cannot be seen by the southern airfield. If seen, the mission is a failure and called off.

Yikes, that's a lot of required mods!
17 mods required? Sorry dude, this could be the best mission ever and it would not be worth my (or most peoples) time to DL all that crap just to find out. You have committed one of the cardinal sins of mission creation...modding yourself into a box.
Well, it can still be a great mission folks!
It is your choice to download the mission. No one is forcing anyone to download the mission. We figured we would open our campaign missions and public missions we make for us on our server to the public. You can download the missions if you want and the addons. That is the great thing guys, its called freedom of choice. If you download it or have downloaded it, I hope you enjoy it, if you don't I am sorry you didn't get to see the mission.
The point is it's presumably a mission about US Special forces, which are included in CO. Yet you have a Swedish Army mod, 3 mods of British weapons (included in the core game via BAF), a single weapon Soviet weapon pack (do US SF use Soviet sniper rifles when they are tasked with taking out AA sites?), seven other weapon packs and custom missiles all required to play the mission? How are all of those mods adding to the mission?
Sure it's about freedom of choice, but it should be about common sense too. All you're doing is limiting people who will be willing to play this in the name of completely illogical weapon choices that questionably add to the experience.
If the point of the mission was to test the new HK416s or a deep cover operation where they needed to use native AK's, or a rescue op to save downed Swedish pilots some of these choices might have made sense, but as it is it's just a big "Don't bother" flag for most users.
Oh, you also forgot to mention it's ACE required too. (Other than the little blurb about medic supplies.)
We added them in because we did an open mission with the public on it after our campaign and a lot of people asked for those weapons, so we added them in. We have a few swedes that play on our server and wanted the Swedish weapon pack, so we added it in for them.
We added in those weapons to the map because people requested them in there.
As I said before, its freedom of choice to download it and play it. if you want to, go for it, if you don't its your loss, not ours.
"Please feel free to give any feedback. Thank you."
"...if you want to, go for it, if you don't its your loss, not ours."
Actually it is entirely your loss. Assuming a successful MP mission can be transposed into a successful SP mission just because the MP community loved it is a mistake.
The SP community for OFP/Arma is a different beast entirely than the MP community. Loading up a mission with 17 + addons listed just because it worked online to satisfy requests that you received only serves to severely limit your audience for the SP effort.
If you want traffic on this mission, I would suggest that you have your squad mates redo it with ACE at the maximum, otherwise you will have little interest in the overall project other than what you run on your server.
Geez, that is one impressive mod lineup. Be honest now, do you really think anyone would DL and install all of that just to test a mission out? Not in a blue fit, I'm afraid.
Maybe they have the mods already like me. I did have to download a few but most are popular mods. Thanks for sharing!
Ungreatful much?
is any thing i don't haw to download from alcoholic?
I don't see the problem, MODs are there to be used.
