Description:
Team Shadow is a realistic campaign that focuses on a sniper team call sign shadow. It takes you through the war in Chernarus where Russians have invaded and progresses through the war with ops in all different areas. The missions are quite diverse, considering its just a two man team, ranging from target elimination to reconnaisance, counter sniper operations, ordering support and surgical strikes on high value areas. Also features training missions to help prepare you for whats expected in the field.


Features:

precise control of your ai team mate - use the radio commands to make the ai never fire, even if you

team switch, as well as disabling their movement when you want them to be still in a tight situation.

Diverse missions ranging from about everything a sniper team can do in real life

Realistic presentation of a sniper team

Task hints, sound effects, briefings, and all the other good stuff polished

Range Me script, use the scroll action to get your ai to give you a quick range reading, if your

spotter dies you will no longer be able to use this function

gear selection - choose the right weapons and equipment for the job

3 training missions to help you on your way

Spotting mode, watch your own follow through through your spotters eyes the moment you take the shot (useful for long range shots)

Installation:
Extract and move to your Arma 2/Campaigns folder


Notes:
- The missions are fairly long, so saving is advised
- This campaign focuses on the real aspects of being a sniper - that means that for a majority of the time -
youll be on your belly crawling around from bush to bush to get around. Stealth is key in all these missions.
- Be Patient, rushing and getting ahead of yourself will just cause bad things to happen, like getting spotted
and gunned down
- Accuracy is extremely important in this campaign - In most of these missions you will only be allowed to carry
one magazine for your weapon, that means you really need to think about who you shoot, wasting ammo on grunts
will only cause bad things to happen, like getting spotted and gun down, as well as having no way of taking out
your real target
- Sidearm is your friend - Learn how to use a pistol in those times when things get heated up
- Position is everything - While it might seem like fun challenge trying to kill someone 1000 metres away, if the
weather doesnt permit it, and theres better options in getting closer, its better to take the safe route and make
sure that what you kill is on the first (or second) time around
- Notice theres alot of smoke grenades available when you select your gear - its your best friend when you gotta
make a fast escape from certain death


Feedback:
All feedback is highly appreciated, if you spot any bugs let me know, if you can repro any serious ones that would help me out alot as well. Also suggestions on mission types would be very helpful to me, those that have more knowledge about real snipers should definitly voice their opinions on some missions and material to work with.


Known Bugs:
"Mystery Man" - Killing the subordinate while carrying out tasks by him will not fail those tasks


Future Features:
- More Missions
- Implement BIS Range Call function to replace the range me action
- Different Ghillie suits to better match the mission environments
- Weapon addon compatibility
- More gear to choose from
