= Mission Design =
 
[[Mission Design]] is an important aspect to consider in order to keep the player(s) entertained. '''Arma is a game''' after all!
 
But what makes a mission ''enjoyable''? This page aims to define what players usually expect from a game:
# Wanting to play through the whole mission
# Seeing an effect to their actions
# In the end, having '''a sense of accomplishment'''.
 
<!-- {{Informative | This page does not apply to all milsim-targeted missions, which may or may not be completely "eventless"!}} -->
 
 
== Mission Structure ==
 
=== Gameplay Structure ===
 
{{wip}}
 
=== Narrative Structure ===
 
{{Informative | The narrative structure only applies to story-driven scenarios and does not have to be respected for missions that are mostly focused on immersion/gameplay.}}
The basics are that most stories follow the {{Wikipedia|Narrative_structure|narrative structure}}, which can be boldly boiled down to the following step:
 
# An initial situation
#* The initial situation does not have to be peaceful or positive
#* [[:Category:Briefing|Briefing]] can be used to provide some background without having to create it in-game
# An occuring event, bringing imbalance to the situation
#* The origin of it is not always coming from the designated or future enemy
#* The event can or can not come from a player's action
# Actions and resulting events
#* Actions can be taken against said event, but also (and/or) against its consequences
# A ''dénouement'', meaning the end of actions and situation evolution, it can be:
#* A lead to solve the initial situation
#* A way to escape it
#* Reaching the goal set by it
# Ending
#* Ending does not always mean problem resolution; it can be:
#** Reducing the damages provoked by event's consequences
#** Leaving the immediate danger
#** Solving the initial problem and getting everything back to normal.
 
 
== Mission Goal ==
 
While the ''mission's'' goal can remain hidden or obscure to the player, his ''current'' goal must be crystal clear. For example, the end goal of "fighting back" can remain hidden, but the first goal of "patrol the camp" must be made obvious so the player is not at loss and feels he has something to accomplish.
 
 
== Action/Reward ==
 
The meat of player's interest is here: an achieved goal must reward the player with an evolution: either a reward (new intel, less enemies, easier progress) or a scenario evolution (enemy counterattack, reinforcements incoming, radio update).
 
 
== Multiplayer Specifics ==
 
* Teamplay and cooperation
* Winning over the other team (if PvP)
 
 
== Examples ==
