BHD - SP - CLAN WARS - by DASKAL
A single player BHD map by Daskal that can be found here
This is a relatively small download packed with an interesting and fun map. The mission starts during infil to rescue a downed Delta team and keeps
you busy till the end.
Game play is well crafted and smooth. The teammates lead more than follow, so you don't find anyone getting stuck going around buildings.
A well laid out city area with sufficient decoration and foliage to give you a good feel for the area. Enough enemy to make the trip to the rescue
site a challenge. The wac file works very well and is appropriate to the developing situation.
Mission goals are well laid out and accomplished with some care. All in all an enjoyable map with a few minor problems.
The first concern I had was the loading screen. Maybe something happend on my computer but the loading screen was nothing more than an orange coloured
background which was annoying and very disappointing.
The mission progressed from a very nice infil to the point where one Delta team member was killed. Here, there were numerous text and speech messages
advising to wait until the medivac helicopter showed up. In fact there was direction to provide security for that helicopter. Unfortunately it never
showed up even after I completed the related mission goals. The mission did continue though.
Aside from these two events the only strange thing seemed to be the terribly inaccurate fire provided by both the Team members and the rescuing Delta
Team. It didn't seem like anyone other than the player character was actually able to hit anything.
While I realize the mission goal was rescue the Delta Team and the friendly Militia Commander, it just didn't seem right leaving the building in the
middle of a firefight and leaving the remaining militia members behind.
IN SUMMARY
A good, fun mission for beginning players (low to moderate difficulty) that exposes you to the variety of events capable of being placed in a map. A
scenario that could easily lead to an entire series.
Some minor flaws slightly detract from the finished product but this map is easily worth a rating of 7/10.

Loading screen
Sorry about the "yellow" screen. I really spent a lot of time in photoshop to create a good loading pic. However it was too big for an upload, and I
had to convert it into greyscale.... well this could be the problem. i shall update it shortly.
About the medevac:
I've played the mission about a dozens of times, and Medeva always seemed to work perfectly... It is triggered when you eliminate the 2 snipers on the
rooftops.....

I totally agree with SNAKE
Everything SNAKE said about this mission was exactly what I thought. The MEdivac never showed up for me either. My teammates couldn't hit the broad
side of a barn!
As far your Loading Screen, in Photoshop, go to "Image" ---"Mode"--- and set it to "INDEXED COLOR." It should make it small enough for you to submit.
OTHERWISE... The mission was great! Plenty of action... great layout and decorations... Events all worked fine except for the Medivac. I always
love DASKAL's missions. They are superb, in my book. I always keep his missions in my database!

BHD-TS-CLAN WARS
I enjoyed playing this map very much, it kept me busy all the way thru, so much so that I didn't realize that the team mates had left me on the roof
by myself while they were chillin out in the Blakhawk. "Good help is hard to find"
The comments above are pretty much on target, except that the MediVac did show up for me and the load screen IS somewhat like looking straight into
the sun. IT was well worth the download.
