This was one of my first attempts at scripting and the mission is really sub-par. Be advised.

pointless

Good mission! Hope te have part 3 with an extraction!

Great mission keep doing what you are doing meaning keep putting the real voices from the movie in and recreating the scenes as best you can great job

"How many soldiers died during Operation Red Wings?
19 soldiers were killed during Operation Red Wings and one was wounded (Marcus Luttrell). The casualties included the three Navy SEALs caught in the ambush with Marcus Luttrell and 16 other U.S. soldiers (8 Navy SEALs and 8 U.S. Army Special Operations aviators) who lost their lives when their MH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down on its way to rescue the ambushed soldiers."
This is reported in the site "History vs Hollywood" about the movie "Lone Survivor", if it can help you to clear the matter. (http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/lone-survivor.php)

typo on chinook btw

@Maverick my relative James "Trey" Ponder was the door gunner on the Chinnok that was shot down and guess what he was a Ranger just like the rest of them it was just a different tasking. For example my Dad trained as an Ordinance and Logistics officer(the exact name escapes me) but while he was deployed his title was different or on his last tasking as the Prof. of Military Science at the University of Cincinati his title was also very different.

Because Wikipedia is the most reliable source

Lol "Rangers from the 160th SOAR". They werent Rangers bro, Just guys from 160thb SOAR who were trasnsporting the QRF (made up of SEALs)

hey uh your info was wrong in the begining it wasnt 19 seals it was 8 rangers from the 160th SOAR and 11 Seals who were killed

ok, now it's clear. so let's wait the next part

Oh sorry! I misunderstood what you meant. It is because I am making the whole Lone Survivor into 3 parts. This is part 2 and I am working on part 3 which will be what happens after you jump off the cliff.

thank you, but I've already done it. then I had to kill many soldiers to keep me alive, but after this I don't know what to do. have I already accomplished the mission now?

Sorry br1jez, here's your answer. After you engage with the hostiles on top of the hill, behind you there should be a cliff around 150m away. There should be a marker indicating it's position. You have to run and jump from it. You probably know that you can't get killed at the end. It is meant for you to be able to accomplish the task. I will be working on this part when ill have a little bit of spare time.

-Over 'n Out

i'm still waiting for a hint to go on with the mission. can you?

@rwt1022 Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I made the nighthawk explode to recreate the scene of the Chinook helicopter getting shut down by the talibans when trying to rescue the seals.

nice mission!
but...
why nighthawk-heli is blow up? and why so dark?

excuse me, maybe I missed something. I saw the film and I read the book, but after I've jumped and killed a dozen of soldiers chasing me, I don't know where to go and what to do. The book told about the arrive in a village where Gulab took care of Marcus, but here there is no indication or other to help me to decide where to go, no comms with anyone, only a village on the coast full of soldiers. Forgive me if I tell you again, but did I miss anything? It seems strange to me that a lot of people are saying nice words about it. Anyway a big OOAHH to evvery SEAL around the world and to those who tried to help Marcus and died

it keeps messing up fpr me a.i do nothing just like all workshop content it seems broken

@Cubi - I am working on it, it should be released soon, stand by!

Over n' Out!

great job, very nice mission, please release the next part asap. i cant wait ;)

@R4MP4G3_RE4P3R the best part was the one with the goat guys. it's really nice that you put dialouges from the movie in it. ( P.S: sorry for my bad english )

@HDRPG121 - Thanks a lot for the feedback! Then again, what do you like the most about it?

this is really good

@bpteambuilder - Thanks for the feedback! I am currently working on Part 3 which is going to be the finale.

Over 'n Out!

cool plz make more

@Gamer500500 - Thanks for the feedback, what do you like the most about it?

Over 'n Out!

really cool mission, bro!!
it is awesome!
please, make more :)

@doggiesplash3.big.m - Thanks a lot! I am really glad you enjoyed!

Good Mission !!!! BEST MISSION !!!

I wish I had the time to still create missions, it's always fun to see what the community will come up with next. =)

@Sigma - I appreciate you support and that is why I created that mission. After I watched the movie I felt like ArmA needed a proper movie/mission. Thanks for the support!

Over 'n Out!

@XxRTEKxX - If you see a Coca-Cola label on a can of soda and it doesn't taste like Coca-Cola then you'd be disappointed right? The principle behind branding is that if you use a brand, you expect it to perform like the brand in question. I think that if the author named this mission something other than after the movie then there would be no argument. Players go into this mission expected it to be like the movie and when it's not they get discouraged to play further or give it a positive rating. However I don't think anyone is not grateful for the time and energy that R4mp4ge put into creating this for the community.

Thanks Yolo and XxRTEKxX, I have some free time today so I will work on fixing part 2 and creating part 3. Stay put!

Over 'n Out!

I don't give a flying ♥♥♥♥ if the mission is exactly like the movie. As long as it's fun to play and I know the maker put effort into making it, then I am going to like it. Definitely not going to complain if it doesn't match perfectly to the movie.

Yes, in the movie they do not attack the base themself, but in the mission they did when I played it! Sorry if this was unclear in my previous comment.

Thanks for the feedback yolo. I will add to the description that: "If you did not see the movie, I strongly recommend that you do so before playing the mission." Again, not everything is perfect as you mentionned below. "After letting the civilians go, the team engaged the enemy base themself instead of getting ambushed while retreating." That sir, is false. In the movie (which my mission is based off) they let the civilians go, then climb up the mountain to reach the extraction zone. The do NOT in any circumstances attack the base themselves. I am aware that the last objective needs quite a bit of tweaking, I will get to it as soon as I can. I appreciate the feedback.

Over 'n Out!

I didn't really enjoy this mission. If you have not seen the movie, you are lost, because NOTHING is explained through briefings or dialogue. If you have seen the movie, this mission is nothing like it. After letting the civilians go, the team engaged the enemy base themself instead of getting ambushed while retreating. I don't know if this was intentional or because of bad waypoint placing. When I reached the top of the hill, there were 2 enemy squads just standing next to the crashed helicopter not doing anything until the "JUMP" objective got triggered. Although I have seen the movie, half of the time I didn't know what to do because my teammates were engaging instead of retreating, although the waypoint said otherwise.
You could solve this by letting the team retreat a bit and then spawn enemys 100-200 metres behind them or something.

Excellent, but know that I am looking forward to killing some goat hurders and evading capture.

@TheRNetwork, Roger that, I know how to fix this, I will update the mission as soon as I can!
Over 'n Out!

i got a message saying somthing like sound fkingarmy is missing

Thank god for Murph and his sacrifice. What a mission. What a team.

Thanks for the feedback Sigma, Part one as you noticed was not supposed to be of any action. It was just replicating the takeoff from the airbase to the AO, which you are going to see in part 2. On my side, I wanted tp tell you that replicating a movie scene without mods and only Vanilla ArmA 3 is pretty complicated. Keep me up-to-date with your thoughts on part 2! Over n' Out!

We enjoyed Part one last night, however it was very easy and nothing like the movie. I'll queue this one up for tonight and let you know how it goes.

they killed his cousin so he went into hiding into caves and things like that

Yes, Gulab took a lot on his back. Protecting Marcus was really dangerous for himself and the people in his village. To this day, Talibans are still regularly attack them for the Pashtunwali they did that day.

RIP those 19 soldiers that were killed and respect to gulab for takin luttrell into care

I am glad you liked it. I am currently working on part 3. For improvement purpuses, was it easy to you had to jump down the cliff?

I loved it thank you ,Great work!!!!
