Taken from the classic Black Hawk Down Campaign, this is mission #9. Original concept and layout were (visually) duplicated and preserved.

Situation:
Habr Gedir clan members being held at a UN command building overpowered their guards, were reinforced by their clan and took control of the facility.


Mission

  1. Secure the hostages at a UN compound
  2. Clear the compound of all hostiles
  3. Fend off enemy counter attacks (including vehicles)
  4. Escort the hostages through the alleyways to the convoy, two blocks north-east of the compound


Map type: Cooperative
Difficulty level: Medium
Creator: (Just) George

Side note:
You can use the wave files included in the zip file for your own future maps ^_^


TIPS:

  • Use the issued (M4)M203 grenade launcher to quickly take out the RPGs threatening the Little Birds during insertion !
  • The more players enter the server/map, the more helos are deployed, the more (player produced) firepower, the easier the raid

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Spawn points are hidden in objects or buildings. Just stand near them to take the spawnpoint
  • Convoy must remain intact

2 versions of this map are available – The PR version and the SF version.

PR version

The Public Release version is ideal for servers but works great locally too. See more info below.

  • PR version is a more arcade approach to the map, allowing you to control the helo insertion yourself, but also join the map later on without being left behind.


  • If LittleBirds are destroyed, the mission is not over, you will respawn and be able to pick up where you left off.


  • Six players to a Little Bird; for more than six players a new Little Bird will appear and so on; three Little Birds total with a capacity of 18 players total to start the map/flight in. If more players enter early in the map, someone has to take a spawn point at the compound for them to enter the game or go back to pick them up.

SF version

The SF version is for private host sessions and contains a more realistic approach. See info below.

  • This private version requires the host to be present and waits for  everybody to get in the game and on the helos; they all leave at the same time. 

  • Host triggers the departure of the Little Birds by attaching to the (last/far right) Little Bird (in the line)

  • Little Birds can take a punch (by constantly adding health points through WAC file), but a direct hit by an RPG will knock it out of the sky. (All) Bird(s) gone, mission over…

  • Five players to a Little Bird; for more than five players a new Little Bird will appear and so on; three Little Birds total with a capacity of 15 players total to start the map/flight in. If more players enter early in the map, someone has to take a spawn point at the compound for them to enter the game

    I've tried both PR & SF versions of this map and it won't end. Any suggestions?

    What goals DID check off as you went through the mission? Could you describe the problem a bit more?

    Sounds like you missed a bg or two while either defending the UN Compound or in the alleyways. Events are stacked upon one another

    One advice I would give is go high; I was hoping the last/third spawn point would be a dead give-away, since it’s positioned up high, that were you would (best) be when an ambush or counter-attack on a building/compound occurred, because of oversight (and two .50 cals on the rooftop at your disposal). I hope that helps. Like I said: check the goals under G; if it’s not checked, stay put (go high) and read the briefing.
