Mission 17 - Design & Production Notes
Baghdad: Mahdi Army Assault

Baghdad: Mahdi Army Assault is the second mission located in Sadr City. It is much bigger than the first as we took the initial level and expanded on it. The first foray into the tight streets of Sadr City focused on one small area and the intricacies of that space. The second mission in the area incorporates larger main streets that you can drive down in order to reach the different smaller, tougher blocks.

The Bradley fighting vehicle is our newest drivable vehicle. We modeled the basic Bradley sometimes called the A1 variant. It is armed with a 25mm Bushmaster cannon, but the Bushmaster firing mechanics are still a work in progress.

The second Sadr City mission is also our second night vision mission. Whereas night vision was a nice thing to have in the Iran missions, you will find it even more useful here. There is a level of complexity to enemy placement when you take night vision into account. During the day, enemies are normally very visible against the skyline, especially those placed on rooftops. In a night mission, the enemy can “hide” in the darkness. Night vision exposes the silhouette normally masked by the shadows.
