Command vs Command

Description
Command vs Command

Multiplayer PvP mission. Supports 2-12 players.

The Advanced AI Command addon is required. This mission is unplayable without it!

This is a bit of an experiment. I created an addon that gives players an intuitive map-based interface to control AI groups (essentially a much better version of high command).

With this mission, I wanted to see if I could create an engaging large-scale battle between only 2-3 players. Essentially this is a PvP mission, but each player is in control of 40+ units and multiple vehicles.

Here's how it works:

1. Players pick their side (blufor, opfor, or ind)

2. Based on your side, you will start in one of 3 small bunkers (all next to each other).

3. Players cannot leave their bunker and have no weapons.

4. The objective is to use your remote units / vehicles to secure the device positioned next to the bunkers. You need to secure the device (be within 20 meters) for 5 mins to win the match.

That's it!

Now, don't be fooled by the fact that you have no weapons and cannot leave the bunker. That's not entirely true. You have a full army at your disposable that you can control via the map. More importantly, you also have the ability to remotely control any group leader in your army (so you get in on the action - you're not looking at the map the whole time).

The map-based interface provides the following features:

- You can assign / move waypoints
- You can assign group colors
- You can assign groups to vehicles
- You can transport multiple groups in a vehicle
- You can join / split groups
- You can set group combat modes / behavior
- You can order air assets to take off / land
- You can remotely control (you essentially take over their body) any group leader. If they die, remote control terminates.
- All of these actions above can managed in MP by multiple players on the same side (e.g. everyone on your side will see as you draw or move waypoints, change group colors, etc)

You have to open your map. You should have control over groups on your side. Might need to zoom out to see them.

Yes but I cant do anything there

What do you see when you start the mission? Are you stuck inside a little base with a tower?

How does this work? I've tried this (with the AIC addon) on my dedicated server + I've been trying to host this locally. People joined (also with AIC enabled) and no one can do anything? How do you start the mission? Is it broken?

Amazing! I would love to see another version with artillary, drones and more.
Keep up the good work! :)

so close to what i want in a mod, would it be simple to create a 1v1 both starting on opposite sides of the full map both with their troops about 75 plus with only a few technicals mostly transport 2 apc maybe and one tank and nothing can respawn back and make some objectives in the middle of the map to control but ultimatly destroying the other team to the last man is key
