Not for this mission, but check out ACRE http://forums.unitedoperations.net/index.php/topic/17724-arma-3-servers-now-with-acre/ Its certainly not polished yet but may be worth a look into for future mission nights!

Yup, you don't need the mods mate. Will work perfectly fine without them. We are starting at 2000
On now in Server admin channel.

Loading up the ocuk server just then, I spawn into almost absolute pitch black nothingness.

So tonight a few of us hopped into the mission you guys put up at 8pm. First off this mission looks amazing. That intro thing you got going (TOO DAMN LOUD!) but fricking COOOOOLL!!!!!!!!!! Very nice! Also liked the objectives, the base etc etc. All lovely.
Mod wise I'd love to see the revive script added. It really helps prevent this rambo zerg spam and is the best thing going until ACE brings us a wounds system.
Now my biggest complaint. The team play, First off we came in late and went into a seperate TS channel so as to have clear comms so naturally we are not 100% in comms with everyone else so our view may be worse than other guys. But what we did see, is a lot of VON fannying around. A lot of friendly fire and very little coordination between teams (as far as we could tell) Which is a shame because you had all the ingredients for a really damn awesome night! The mission, the server, the people, the assets. Everything there. But a lack of organisation.
Now mods like ACRE improve this 10 fold as we all know. And once ACRE gets in team play across all servers will skyrocket. In the mean time though, we should at mission start. all come together. Pick 1 leader per group. Then pick a CO and set up whisper lists (not channel commander) to each team leader. Its almost as good as ACRE it just requires a bit of setting up at the start.
Then the team leaders take their groups to separate channels. and can communicate as normal. Using whisper lists to talk over the "long range" and totally disabling the stupid ingame VON.
We had like 6 teams all on highsides with big long range snipers and machine guns. Thats no good without guys clearing the town. And to do that both teams (Cover and clearing) need to be on the same page to avoid friendly fire.
Without revive, we had a continuous stream of choppers ferrying in JIPs which kills team work and causes unbearable noise and lagg. (dust, chopper blade sounds etc)
This is my first and so far only time i've actually not enjoyed myself on the OcUK server. Its usually a cut above the rest but tonight was lacking. Like i said, a big shame because you had all the ingredients. You were just missing some secret sauce.
Very nice job to the mission maker though. And server performance, while a little laggy understandably. Was pretty remarkable, with so many and so much fire going on.

^ Please dont take that the wrong way btw. Constructive feedback not insults! I'm happy to take some feedback of my own. We I and another got taken out. We TKed one guy (sorry whoever it was) and two of us also got TKed. So it evened out 
Filter for "sadly" its the men behaving sadly server they're on.

Tonight was really just a test of the mission and to let everyone to learn what was going on. It was always going to be a bit of a cluster until people learn to play and we get ACRE on. We had people on who had never played before so like I said, tonight was a bit of a test run.
Also the fact that I left the server unlocked so we got all the random idiots joining. Next time it will all be different
