MikeyD Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 My most EXTREME scenario is now up for downloading: USMC vs ARMY - Lone Star Shopping Plaza At our favorite site of course: www.cmmods.com A Blue-on-Blue Marine module scenario. Army assaults a Texas highway shopping mall that's being occupied by the Marine Corps and bloody carnage ensues. Full backstory in the orders section. When I constructed this giant mall complex map seven months ago I thought it would stay pretty much unplayable. But the v1.10 enhancements combined with Marine corps defenders have allowed me to build a rip-roarin' blood fest of a scenario. Take my word for it, attacking against a dug-in veteran Marine company is as difficult as it sounds. Enjoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Good one MikeyD! That's the first blue on blue scenario I've seen. Look forward to PBEMing it in a little while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meach Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 With the improvements in framerates these days big city maps are not such a hog on resources. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinnessman Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 'Carnage' doesn't quite do this scenario justice! The marines are dug in like the proverbial Alabama tick - this is a doozy and no mistake! Watching the US Army grunts and the US Marine Jarheads fight it out room-to-room (or should that be shop-to-shop?) in the mall was fantastic, plenty of painful moments. Chief of which had to be the enterprising marine who let rip with his M32 and wiped out half-a-dozen grunts in one fell swoop - the point man took a 40 mil at point-blank range to the chest. The map itself is fantastic, beautifully done. Great stuff mate! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 A small matter. I built the map without colored 'setup zones' in an effort to keep carefully placed units from wandering where they hadn't ought at startup. If you prefer to shuffle your units about at startup simply open the game in the editor, paint in some setup zones, then save under a revised name. No setup zone is good for human vs AI but might be considered too restricting for Head-to-Head play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 WOW!!!! I'm only 20 minutes into it but boy is it fun. I LOVE blasting my way through walls. Real nifty map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Great map! I've barely begin the scenario but it really looks wonderful. I'm amazed at how well it runs despite all the buildings on the map. One question: Would an "anchor store" in what looks like a mid-scale shopping mall really be seven stories tall? I'm intimately familiar with the malls of Philadelphia, Boston, Birmingham, and Atlanta (which is where malls go to die), and the anchors are usually only three levels, tops. Maybe that's just how they build them in Texas... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hah! Of all the questions I had been expecting! Outside of Boston, Burlington Mall has got a two story sprawling mall complex with a big Macy(?) anchor store towering over it at one end and a Sears(?) at the other. I work in a downtown Boston mall complex with four high-rises and a convention center attached. By those measures my map's mall is kind'a wimpy!:eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most malls I know have a plus-sign pattern, with four two- or three-story anchors and a two-story expanse of "arms" connecting them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Waged a bloody battle with this scenario last night, great fun. Am shamelessly bumping this for those late-comers who might want an Army/Marines scenario to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I love that last photo. You can almost hear the hapless army guy shouting 'Nooooooooooo!' Im downloading this, it looks great fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
