Hey,

Many GR1 clans will take part of Sniper Team - The Longest Kill, so i would like to invite you all (with or without a clan) to join too.
This sniper coop "2 men team" tourney will feature some new maps, many new rifles, sounds, characters, reticles, menus, etc ...
It will be released probably in the end of february ,2008, featuring ten or so great sniper missions.
The tournament is based on a sniper + spotter team concept, so you'll have only these two classes of soldiers available in MP.
Its based on a "move stealth, kill and extract" main idea.
We will set all rifle scopes to a max 10x zoom and use script to make things hard, like moving targets, etc ...
Scope mask will be small, as the binocular mask (now limited to a range finder), so sniper will actually need the spotter (and his spot scope 25x ) to find the target. Spotter's weapons will have a 2x limited zoom plus poor accuracy, worse than original GR.
TeamSpeak or equivalent comm software will be a must, obviously.
Ballistics will be set in a way itll be hard for the sniper to aim, with very light turnband settings, so any movement while aiming will cost a price.
Good accuracy to the sniper rifles just on prone position.
No sensors, no red diamonds (even vehicles wont show up in command map), no threat indicator.
New firing sounds not only to the mod's weapons but to almost all GR weps. Custom ricochet sounds will be used too. Some new models to the opfor weapons will be included.
Missions will have a touch of dirty operations, "illegal" but always "justified" action around the world to eliminate different targets and extract safely.
This is in fact a total conversion, we'll have brand new Digital Tiger Stripe HyperStealth camos for wood/urban, winter and desert envs.
Mod will be released later to public, after the end of tourney, plus a "compatibility addon" making everything playble in SP and MP.
To resume, we have great great contributors on this, like PUNiSHER , Ingeloop, Natsanwa, DTD Pro Mod Team, Bajabravo and Ayu_Taiyaki, plus me, lighspeed and some few others as the mod team.
I would like to also mention as great contributors OSO, Biro, Hammer, Cobaka, Blahb, HX5 Mod Team, bigbluesoul, Tinker, Corpse, Daimaju, DVS1, SpyHawk and Dekela, and for the complete list of credits please check the readme file of our mod when released.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Installing the mod :

Extract it to your ...\mods folder under Ghost Recon, then start GR,activate the mod at highest priority.This means the lowest item is your options-mods screen. This mod is non-overwriting and should work in SP and MP.


IMPORTANT:
TO ENJOY ALL MOD FEATURES, YOU MUST ACTIVATE SNIPER TEAM - THE LONGEST KILL, QUIT THE GAME, AND START GHOST RECON AGAIN TO GET IT COMPLETELY ACTIVATED.
TO DEACTIVATE IT, FOLLOW THE SAME RULE.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


About Sniper Team Mod :

This is a multiplayer coop mod, so you should play it with a partner, as a "2 man team", one as sniper, the other as spotter, to enjoy Sniper Team at its best.

SERVER SETUP -


> DIFFICULTY - ELITE

> RESPAWNS - OFF

> THREAT INDICATOR - OFF

> IFF NAMES - OFF

> TIMER - 60 minutes.

> KIT RESTRICTIONS - Sniper Team - The Longest Kill


As Sniper Team is originally a multiplayer coop tourney mod, you'll have the new weapons and the new sniper and spotter characters only in Multiplayer, and selecting kit restriction called "Sniper Team - The Longest Kill".
To play with this mod in single player or other multiplayer missions , or TvT matches, you will need to activate the provided "compatibility addon", with a higher priority than Sniper Team mod.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Compatibility Addon :


How to install it ?

Extract "Sniper Team - Compatibility Addon.zip" to your ...\mods folder under Ghost Recon.



What is this "compatibility addon" ?

Activate it with a higher priority than Sniper Team - The Longest Kill mod to play, with the proper camo (wood, desert and jungle), any other missions than the sniper ones included in the mod, but keeping all the weapons, sounds and masks included in Sniper Team !
When you activate the "compatibility addon", youll have more ammo in the kits than regular kits (20 rounds for sniper rifles i.e.) included in the Sniper Team Mod, what allows players to engage in any Ghost Recon mission.
We have also included in the "compatibility" addon some kits featuring a "porta bush", test it in game and youll quickly understand how to use it. Its specially good to be used in TvT matches.
The NTW-20 14.5mm API anti matereiel rifle was included too in this addon.


IMPORTANT:
TO ACTIVATE THE COMPATIBILITY ADDON AND ALL ITS FEATURES, YOU MUST ACTIVATE IT AS A MOD (ALWAYS WITH A HIGHER PRIORITY THAN SNIPER TEAM - THE LONGEST KILL MOD) , QUIT THE GAME, AND START GHOST RECON AGAIN TO GET IT COMPLETELY ACTIVATED.
TO DEACTIVATE IT (I.E. TO PLAY AGAIN THE SNIPER MISSIONS) , FOLLOW THE SAME RULE.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Extra stuff included in the compatibility addon folder :


Youll find three extra .zip files inside the compatibility addon folder:


1- Real challenge = activate it as a mod with a higher priority than Sniper Team - The Longest Kill and you'll have all reticles without pips to the sniper rifles, so you'll need to "learn" the timing of your rifle, thats much more challenge !

2- Urban Sniper = activate it as a mod with a higher priority than Sniper Team and you'll have both sniper and spotter with urban DTS camo.

3- Winter Sniper = activate it as a mod with a higher priority than Sniper Team and you'll have both sniper and spotter with winter DTS camo.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope Masks :

As default ive included scope masks for widescreen users.
Inside "Textures" of the Sniper Team mod folder you'll find a file called "Masks_normal.zip", simply unzip it inside the same "Textures" folder, overwriting when asked, to play with a 4:3 masks.
I have also included a "Masks_widescreen.zip" , so if you want to get back to widescreen masks after installing the 4:3 ones, just unzip it and overwrite when asked.
