Description
Situation
A political dispute over natural resources in the border area between Norway and Russia has escalated into a political crisis, with both sides accusing the other of illegally crossing the border. NATO promptly reacted with a joint American-Livonian-Norwegian exercise called "Northern Safeguard," while the Russian army made use of its psychology and cyberwarfare experience.

As NATO-troops trained, Russia flooded all radio channels with conversations about secret operations deep inside the Norwegian heartlands, but besides a few cut border fences and drones flying along the border, there was no sign that those radio calls were real. Locals even joked about those signals, pranking local police and NATO soldiers with faked messages.

But as political talks turned even more hostile and the situation grew even more dire, Moscow revived an old Soviet-era attack plan - and today, Spetsnaz team "Zvezda" is tasked with starting "Operation Arctic Fox."


Mission
You are Spetsnaz Squad "Zvezda", tasked with neutralizing Norwegian coastal defenses and disabling NATO communications in the area before the main invasion can commence as planned.

Data
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Type Of Combat: MidRange/CQB
  • Voiced: Yes; Russian Voice (AI) & English subtitles
  • Playtime: 15-25min
  • Factions: Spetsnaz vs Norwegian Army

Disclaimer
The Norwegian Army mod by flex as well as the (new) Fjord map made me break my one rule: no missions as either Russia or WW2 Germany. Don't expect any more (2000s-2020s) Russia missions. There's gonna be something from the Norwegian POV in the future.

that pretty much sums it up, thanks @leh2012

afaik voice "acting" (ai slop) in coop missions is doable but a can of worms I really dont want to open. I barely got time to work on new stuff as is and Id rather do something new than touch missions that are almost a year old

You have to understand that to make this into a coop in a propper enjoyable way one needs to spend lots of time probably remaking it from scratch. Unless somebody else wants to do it, it is up to you to make it happen

kuolleempi, do you REALLY want to play this mission with your gf? Then take tools in your hands and make it into coop. You don't need THAT much effort to make it work. Just unpack the mission with PBO view, open it in the editor and click on two soldiers to make them playable (open up their roles for MP). The thing is, you probably don't even need to do it because in this mission you can swtich between soldiers. Then save it as MP mission and launch it as MP mission. You can also press a couple more buttons in the editor and add respawn if you need it. Ofcourse, it wont be pretty if you do it in a simple and crude way as I describe here. Cutscenes probably will work only for the player who starts the mission. Also, there is a high chance of encountering bugs. Lots of things might break. You will need to test it beforehand... But you will able to blay together with your gf.

My friend and I enjoy your missions a lot. This one is a gem because winter missions are so rare. I am desperate to get more of them, especially with the usual quality from you.
