Hello TAW,
Many GR1 clans will take part of Sniper Team - The Longest Kill, so i would like to invite you from TAW to join too.
This sniper coop "2 men team" tourney will feature some new maps, many new rifles, sounds, characters, reticles, menus, etc ... There is no limit to the number of teams each clan may sign up.
It will be released probably in february ,2008, featuring ten or so great sniper missions.
The tournament is based on a sniper + spotter team concept, so you'll have only these two classes of soldiers available in MP.
Its based on a "move stealth, kill and extract" main idea.
We will set all rifle scopes to a max 10x zoom and use script to make things hard, like moving targets, etc ...
Scope mask will be small, as the binocular mask (now limited to a range finder), so sniper will actually need the spotter (and his spot scope 25x ) to find the target. Spotter's weapons will have a 2x limited zoom plus poor accuracy, worse than original GR.
TeamSpeak or equivalent comm software will be a must, obviously.
Ballistics will be set in a way itll be hard for the sniper to aim, with very light turnband settings, so any movement while aiming will cost a price.
Good accuracy to the sniper rifles just on prone position.
No sensors, no red diamonds (even vehicles wont show up in command map), no threat indicator.
New firing sounds not only to the mod's weapons but to almost all GR weps. Custom ricochet sounds will be used too. Some new models to the opfor weapons will be included.
Missions will have a touch of dirty operations, "illegal" but always "justified" action around the world to eliminate different targets and extract safely.
This is in fact a total conversion, we'll have brand new Digital Tiger Stripe HyperStealth camos for wood/urban, winter and desert envs.
Mod will be released later to public, after the end of tourney, plus a "compatibility addon" making everything playble in SP and MP.
To resume, we have great great contributors on this, like PUNiSHER , Ingeloop, Natsanwa, DTD Pro Mod Team, Bajabravo and Ayu_Taiyaki, plus me, lighspeed and some few others as the mod team.
I would like to also mention as great contributors OSO, Biro, Hammer, Cobaka, Blahb, HX5 Mod Team, bigbluesoul, Tinker, Corpse, Daimaju, DVS1, SpyHawk and Dekela, and for the complete list of credits please check the readme file of our mod when released.
