The Battle Zone (BZ Intro Inspired Mission)

Description
Note: this is the first mission of a campaign I released. I am leaving this version up in case anyone wants to play just this as an IA mission. The campaign is here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2973893698

Relive the thrilling moments of the original Battlezone intro in this fully scripted and voiced mission. Find out how the story of the original Grizzly One and his base fits into the overall storyline. You play as Razor One from the intro, so prepare to accompany Grizzly One on a scouting mission to investigate some strange radar pings.

Note: being unable to skip cutscenes in this mission is intentional. This is a more cinematic mission and skipping cutscenes causes a lot of timing to not work as intended.

Special thanks to:
-blue banana, ssuser, Herp, Goomba for LUA help and ideas
-ssuser for his LUA tutorial
-Business Lawyer for a new model, creative ideas, audio assistance, and his AMAZING blender plugin that makes terrain creation much faster

-Sexxyrexxy, Rosario, blue, BzoneLord and others for encouragement/advice/mapmaking help
-DivisionByZero for helping me port stuff and helping with LUA as well
-The original Battlezone team for making a timeless gem that has shaped my imagination since as long as I can remember

Thanks for checking it out ssuser! Good callout about the BMP, I did not notice that. While you may be right about the callsign, the original Grizzly One died in the intro and Jason Bates takes on his callsign later. Therefore, I took some artistic liberty and based my mission pack off the idea Razor One becomes Kodiak One through the war.

This is a very interesting take on the intro. Well done. ;)
One indirect bit of criticism - you left a giant bmp file of your level in there which is like 37 megabytes, basically doubles the size of the download. I think you could probably shrink that.
I enjoyed seeing this level though, it was well executed in regards to the movie scenes. I would wager that the surviving player became "Grizzly One" and not "Kodiak One", during the rank reshuffling on the way to mars.

I don't usually appear in comments but this one deserved it. This is extremely good, and you deserve every bit of good fortune for creating this.

Have a nice day.

Now this... this is an absolutely outstanding mission. Properly managed difficulty, conscious of ammo as a resource, full voice overs, cinematics, sound scripting (I'll try to break it later)... this should be an exciting addition to anyone's head-canon in the Battlezone Universe! 11 Grizzlies out of 10, all aboard the hype train for the rest of the mission pack!
