Note to admin: please edit my Subject line to reflect the proper name for this mission. Couldn't find it anywhere.

Played this mission today and the host suggested we chime in with our comments here on the forums. While the premise of the mission is sound and it has all the hallmarks to be fun, it fell through in a few critical areas. First, some oddities... I only had one clip of ammo. Yes, only the clip in my rifle. I can tell you, this does not indicate that my "defense" of the caches will be for very long. I did, however, have 3 first aid kits...which I could not use. Literally. My mouse scroll wheel did nothing. I couldn't heal myself. No bigs, I wasn't that wounded. I go over near 3 of my dead comrades and I just die. No gunshots, no nothing, just one second I'm in game and the next second my spectator screen is loading. My death screen showed that I killed me (and I did not bleed out comrades. I'm an expert in the field of bleeding out and that wasn't what happened).

Second, FPS. Something was up. My FPS returned to normal after the mission was over.

Third, actual gameplay. Both sides not knowing where the caches were=fine. One side having to defend both=not so fine. The defenders were hobbled (and not just because Yours Truly lacked ammo and grenades) by the fact that we had to defend two caches and the enemy had a vehicle. While defenders had to split our forces across two large swathes of land searching, the enemy had mobility AND they could concentrate all their forces on one swath of land at a time.

All in all, needs a bit of work, but I'd be happy to give it a go again after some of the issues are straightened up. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Hello AmishStrikeForce, the thread for this one is called Petros Petrified, I will copy your input and respond in that thread, as I am not an admin.
