Gentlemen, I hate to call you here at such a late time...but as I'm sure you will have guessed, we have a situation.

Created by chrisFREER

Well, this is it. The Convenant have reached earth. You've been this country's greatest asset for a long time boys.
However I'm going to have to ask of you something that is far, far more dangerous than anything you've faced before. Remember "Darwin" ?
Well the Covvies will make him look like a playful green kitten.

This is your target, we've got you some fresh sattelite surveillance of Farlin's Hydroelectric dam.
We've used the dam before in some training exercises, well this is the real deal.
When it was built to replace the Fission plant, it also opened up the entire plains for building on. Covvies want to blow it wide open.
But that's not the best bit, confident bas***ds are going to use our own nukes to blow a huge hole in our war effort's infrastructure. Hell they're even using our own defences against us!
For those of you amongst us a little slow on the uptake, we've been using it as a secret nuclear storage facility for the past few decades.
We haven't got much intel on their strength but we do know they've siezed all the vital areas and have air superiority, we'll drop you some way out and you're going to have to fight your way inside.

But that is not the point; What is the point is you're going to go in there, kick the ass of any elite that so much as shows its ugly face and you're going to bring me back my nukes...
Is that understood? Good. Your birds are fuelled up and ready to go, you're the spearhead of this assault, if you can get there before they crack the security then you might just have time for
reinforcements to show up. We'll supply you with all we can but covvies are hitting everywhere pretty hard and we're stretched thin.

I'm counting on you.
Farlin is counting on you.
Earth is counting on you.
Do your duty spartans!

An old propaganda photograph of the dam

Night has fallen over the dam

This is where you'll be inserted

You'll have a LAAG Hog to begin with, mongeese and rocket hog will be inserted as you close on your objective.

Here are the forward bunkers, watching the entrance to the dam, you're going to have to neutralise them to get through.

Sieze the forward outpost and the barriers will lower allowing the hogs to roll through.

From there you'll have reached the edge of the dam, It's going to be a long fight to get to the stairs into it's belly

Fortunately by then we'll have gotten some supplies through to you

Be wary though, they've got some heavy weapons back there that pack quite a punch. Intel also suggests they may have commandeered an old UH-144 from the helo pad, so watch the skies and don't go in alone.

Get down into the main turbine's room. You'll find a way down to the nuke storage from there

By the time you'll have reached it they'll almost certainly have breached the secutiry locks. Grab it and get it the hell of that dam!

Have your teammates cover you, you do NOT want to be caught out by an angry elite with an energy sword

Well you've come this far, lots of pictures and backstory. Hopefully you read it all, if so then congratulations. Hope it was up to scratch!
If not, I hope you enjoyed gawking at the big dam...I hope you were gawking. Gawk. Now.

As to the map:
I've become rather fond of large structures and once I decided to build this aesthetic dam, it reminded me of a map of GRAW2. I had to make it playable and this is the final result!
Thanks to UltimoElmo and SynysterAndy for helping to play test (Although curse Andy for turning almost every forging session into a "crush Chris flat with grid" game).
Custom gametype gives some different classes and higher damage for interest, if you'd rather use your own then just make sure the spartans are attacking.
Anyone curious enough as to the name, its due to the American DOD's code for when nuclear weapons are no longer in their control.

BENT SPEAR. A DoD term used to identify and report a nuclear weapon significant incident involving a nuclear weapon/warhead, nuclear component, or vehicle when nuclear loaded.
BROKEN ARROW. A DoD term to identify and report an accident involving a nuclear weapon, warhead, or nuclear component.
DULL SWORD. A team used in DoD to identify and report a nuclear weapon safety deficiency.
EMPTY QUIVER. A reporting term used by DoD to identify and report the seizure, theft, or loss of a U.S. nuclear weapon.
FADED GIANT. A reporting term to identify an event involving a nuclear reactor or radiological accident.

To those curious about "Darwin" it was a previous infection map I made. His name is a link to the map. Not the best (see Deep Sea Mines in sig) but it's building on my little squad and the history of "Farlin"
