Was looking at playing some co-op arma2 with friends, team vs team and wondering what the best was?

Anyone that plays/played able to recommend it? I like the pvp in DayZ and would like some more of that, I'd imagine trying to take a town or area and fighting it out with another team or squad? The more players the better really.. much like a big game of battlefield 3. Any with perma death until the round is over?

Capture the town/flag style or something.
 
How does that work? Is there perma death? Thats the thing I like the most.. once someones dead, they're dead and no where near you when they come back into the game
 
I was kinda more interested in playing Arma2 against other squads of people. I imagine seeing a server thats got 60 people on, lots of different squads going for different places and calling in air support/armour ect ect. Is there nothing like that?

You should really check out a specific community for that level of communication and coordination and guaranteed player count.

United Operations is probably more EU friendly I think? Someone else could probably say, ShackTac is the only one pushing 100+ player in a coop, 130~ for pvp that I personally know of but plays twice a week at US times. (Thurs 1am/sat 11pm london time). ShackTac employs a 1 life per mission rule mostly , more oreinted around adversarial matches (pvp) then coop and objectives vary from defend vs attack to static or player objectives and more.

One of the members made a review vid from last year

There are only a few english speaking communities which come close to this level of coordination.

More of what to expect, things vary so, so much every mission, it could be all infantry or you could have (rarely) mechanized infantry/armour/air, the lot :p

I havnt watched the vids but it looks good! I dont know if theyd expect a commitment or something though, would be nice to be able to drop in for a game with my mate. I dont mind all infantry, its the communication I like and the perma death :)

RGG clan?
 
You can PVP in Arma 2, I can't remember the name of the mode but you go round capping points. Warfare it might have been called.

You don't need to commit to play Project Reality, you can be squad leader, to organise tactics etc.

Is it map wide though Eames? I like the idea of trying to control the map or at least a few towns rather than the deathmatch style I played on the free version.

Probably sad but I like the idea of patrolling to a town and maybe getting ambushed, its great in DayZ especially when you play really tactically with cover. Most fun I've had in ages, sunk 234hours into DayZ pretty much lol.

I dont mind if its mixed with AI but having players against you makes the game more fun and infact, if it was AI aswell it'd add to it.. not knowing if it was a player or AI you can see.
