Arma Two Player Mission Reviews - Phantom - 08-03-2015
Hey everyone. Since there's a couple handfuls or quite a good amount of two player missions and we usually don't get to play them as a group on CiA Coop Nights as often (in case there are people out there who would like to try some but don't know what to pick to play with a buddy), I decided to make a little page and review for two player coop missions (I will also include higher player counts if it is possible to be played for a very small group including two people).
Basically, I'll include the name of mission, author name, Mission Overview, a summary of how the mission went / opinions, link to mission, then a rating, mission length, difficulty, then pictures of videos on the bottom.
Ratings are completely subjective of course (I'll base them mainly on my opinion + the person I played with). Mission length (depends on how long <objective>. I will still consider a mission short if for whatever reason a player chooses to circle an entire path as a detour that took an extra 1 hour or something when the mission could've taken less than 30 minutes), and difficulty depends on how we thought the mission was.
I'll be willing to grab opinions of other people's ideas for some missions I haven't played either I guess (though I'll probably mark a note that I haven't played it yet).
Anyways, what'd you guys think?
Arma 2 section -> http://bnp-creations.weebly.com/arma-2-missionsreview.html (won't update much since the guy I play Arma 2 with always tells me he's busy)
Arma 3 section -> http://bnp-creations.weebly.com/arma-3-missions-review.html

Good idea phantom. Alwarren, what was that nice two player mission we played?

I'll probably add Body Snatch to the list later. I beat it with Manuel last night (had to teleport the captive to the car though, I wonder where's the mission link to it since I want to thank the author)
I also wanted to make the list since I want to specify lengths in case its one of those times 2 people happen to play but don't want to play something too long yet. Plus, there's sometimes two player missions that can be crap too.

Brilliant idea Phantom. Will keep my eye on this

Awesome, I'm always in the need of 2-5 player missions!

I remember we once played a mission "A widow's call" by VanhA which was pretty cool until we got brutally murdered.
Angry Angel by Sithis is another one we recently tried and almost finished. And there was another one near Oreokastro, but I can't remember the name.

I'm thinking maybe I should ditch the page with the name, picture, score and just stick to just this page with texts, FAQ, Mission Reviews http://bnp-creations.weebly.com/quick-review1.html .
I have a feeling that it'll just take longer to load once the list gets bigger and both section achieve the same purposes and can be clicked to a page for a quick summary of the mission (with pictures and/or videos anyways). That'll lessen the amount of work so I don't have to do things twice.
Do you guys think I should add another column to the list like island name or anything?

Yeah, terrain name would help.

Going to abandon this Arma Two Player Mission Reviews list and merge it to this
http://ciahome.net/forum/the-arma-game/missions-worth-playing-again/
I have a feeling that Weebly's going to be a pain if I make a larger list for mission reviews, plus the old mission review plan was me creating a review page for every single mission which will get tedious once weebly pages get large. A spreadsheet feels more suitable for this kind of task to me so I'm abandoning this one. If I do a spreadsheet, it'll be much easier for me and mission reviews and stuff like that can just be optional whenever I feel like it. Another positive side I can think of would be that it's easier to share Google Docs.

Sabre Commandos Ep. 1
Alwarren and I played that mission and it's great. You get to use a UGV and a Darter, and you could really put them to fun use. We used the UGV to create a diversion while we moved in and it turned out great. Still fully functional after all that time.

We should change the title to missions with low player count instead of two player missions. This would cover all missions we don't get to play on coop nights.
Re: Arma Two Player Mission Reviews - Phantom - 12-17-2015
I thought I made a new thread on missions worth playing again, but we can use this thread and call it "Low Count Missions".
