Survey:
Another interesting mission with a lot of the fighting taking place in the "green" (bushes and trees, AI loves it ...). Even in the village the style of the fights does not change much.
Its a nice mission, fairly balanced (as long as you don't loose too many friendly AI in the beginning), not lengthy at all and not difficult to win.
Specialties:
1 - fluent transition from attack to defense and from green to village
2 - constant level of thread/challenge
3 - quite fair
4 - Plenty auto-saves render the "Save" unnecessary. (However, the timing is sometimes odd with the saving taking place right in the middle of a smaller firefight (happened in the village). Guess it was bad luck on my side :wink
Bug(s)?!
1 - The helicopter did not take off from the extraction-point, most propably some friendly AI died and the leader was not aware of it. So we sat in the heli and waited .. but nothing happened :(
2 - One small minor dislike are the *fat* "PLAIN"-texts. There are many transmission comming in, and the screen is sometimes cramped with 2-liners. Maybe put this into "sideRadio"/"sideChat"? (just personal taste, no offense ;) )
As always - big thanks for the mission.
Salute!

If you want to play/experience all for yourself, do not read on!!

The approach towards the village is not long with some smaller encounters to keep one busy.
Flanking keeps you out of bushes and trees - IMHO this helps to fight the eagle-eye AI.
Reporting enemies to your leader (Space-key or RMB) and not engaging them personally helps to keep the AI-focus off your back.
Once in the village I had best success with running uphill and reporting enemies to the team. Alternatively one could find some good cover, or otherwise you will get flanked easily.

Oh - sorry, the text all ended up on the right side?
Was not on purpose - I swear!
super cool mission, thanks a lot. I loved where the fight takes place, nice valleys, then a little village.
Though I couldn't finish the mission, blackhawk never came for extraction, even though team leader told the group to "board" on the road, close to the medical tent.

Other than that all good :)
