Multiplayer Objectives

Interesting, it would be fun to have that kind of cooperative gameplay in mw3 

Update: Actually I believe I WILL be doing the team separation the way Finnegan did his Team map utility, only I'll do it with 2 slightly different installs of the same map, where I believe he used a custom utility to make the background changes to each team's mission files.

Anyway, the first of these types of multiplayer missions is going to take place on the Durgan city and Pyramids areas, using the c3 world instant action map for the radar map. I tried making a custom map and had it all plotted correctly for its proper location and it showed both the pyramids and most of durgan, but the game would NOT use it. Sometimes ideas get rejected by the engine, them's the breaks. So, I went with the Instant Action map.

The Scenario is this: Each team has 5 assets to defend.

Team A defends the 2 pyramids and their closest bridges, plus the bridge near the laser towers.
Team B defends the 5 buildings in the corner of Durgan city.

Whole team suicide deaths will occur when your team's assets get destroyed, and the score will reflect a minus 1 kill for each suicide death. I haven't decided whether to make the death happen when all the assets are destroyed, or for each single asset. At the moment it's set to happen when they're all destroyed.
With the "group" style destruction setup, each asset triggers the on board computer to say "target destroyed" when an asset is destroyed, and only for the defendable assets...adding a sense of tension to the game. If you're off somewhere away from your base and you hear "target destroyed" it means things are getting tricky and you might want to think about getting back to base.

Separating into 2 slightly different installs is how the separation of Team assets/suicides is made possible...if I set it up in one file everyone dies on both teams, which is dumb. This remains untested until I am ready to distribute the first beta. So, it might fail due to differing mission files, I don't know. I am hopeful it will work, because Finnegan's team map utility...I believe...did essentially the same thing but on a much larger scale. If this works I may at some point go back and try this on his "operation damoclese" multiplayer mission maps in conjunction with his team map utility, which is quite an interesting scenario that never really got traction back in the day. What it does is allow 4 different mission areas to be chosen by the players, with each area having team respawns, and there are multiple mfb points that are designated for each team, and if you try to use one that isn't your team's mfb you trigger the boundary suicide. I'd like to add my concept of the mission objectives to this at some point but it might not happen without his help. This project I'm doing now is basically a testing ground for these ideas.

Imagine being in a circle of death with someone and on the other side of the map someone nails your final base asset and you DIE...just as you were about to finish off your enemy!

UPDATE:
It's looking promising. Both separate missions are essentially done, and all functions work online for each. The real test will be if the game will recognize two maps with the same name/number and allow the separate objectives to function. Cross your fingers. ALSO, I did manage to get the custom radar maps working, but in order to do so the download will install into separate files which, for this version, involve files that were included in the weapons mod 2.1, so it is going to be only compatible with the mod.

It's coming along.
Stay tuned, this could be the coolest 'Mech3 multiplayer project ever done if it works.

Well get yer rig running with 'Mech3 buddy 'cause it's comin' along!

I just built my new computer over this past week
wheres the documentation to get MW3 running on win10?

With the first case, the deaths at the end would mark the end of the game? In the second case, when a single asset is destroyed, the teams will have to run back and reposition. Maybe you are looking at having a toggle for this? May not be able to include that in a working version. Without testing it, I am leaning towards suicide with every asset destroyed, but I could change that opinion.
