Arma 2 multiplayer arranging thread

I played a few random servers with a player coutn no less then 30 and i must say it was enjoyable and just like the igi servers tbh.

Lots of people where playing like a team. pilots picking us up from the carrier and dropping us in a suitable LZ, No team killing whatsoever and good communication via text as well. i have never had that experience in other fps games against randoms.
 
This game is NOT like BF2, so when you join the game and start shooting up the base cause you dont know what to do, you screw the vehicles up.

Certain vehicles need to be recollected if destroyed and repaired by an engi which takes time. Not that were being uptight but people firing guns randomly in the base and acting like tards = insta kick ban on the server.

So is it a good game then, is it a 'laster'?

Are there/are there going to be any mods?

ther are already loads of mods. this is what makes the arma series so great, community made mods and maps.

armaholic is a good place to look.

Usual time is any time after 8ish it seems. Try using the ip address rather than the server name (from google).

The games were good last night, but its getting a little frustrating not being able to fly - im guessing its a rank thing but as someone who would be happy as larry ferrying people back and forth I guess im going to have to concentrate on killing things tonight to get the rank up.

Heres a general question, can you play edited maps on the server? I personally think factory would be a lot more fun with more oppo - dug in around the radio tower for instance. Who leaves their main method of comms on an island without any guards? Attacking that island in the face of withering enemy fire would be awesome. As it is now its a race to the top, and we still managed to lose 1 guy and get two injured. DOH!
 
Good games last night guys :) I kept getting called away towards the end so wasn't a great help, sorry! Good news is that we managed to complete all objectives on The Longest Day, so that bug is finally fixed :D
Getting increasingly irritated (as I can tell all of you are) with complete morons messing around on the server, they join, then feel the need to pick up every weapon in every crate and fire it at spawn, then jump in a chopper or plane and just bugger off on their own, usually crashing after 30 seconds. Banned/kicked so many last night I lost count. Its getting to the stage now where I think we should just permaban anyone not willing to work as a team. After all, its a team game and we only have 2/3 choppers between 30-40 players so taking a blackhawk and flying off to do whatever you want just makes everyones lives harder.
Didnt want to have to make 'rules' really, but I'm going to put some up on the first post and also in the MOTD of the server:

Server rules
  • One the MHQs are in position, leave them alone unless moving them OUT of danger. Messing around in the MHQs = ban
  • Using team resources (vehicles) to clear off and mess about by yourself = ban
  • Deliberate TK or shooting team vehicles = ban
  • Spamming rounds at base on in a group waiting for extraction = kick. Do it twice = ban
  • Trashtalk/racism/spamming in chat = ban
  • If you are a medic, HEAL when ordered.
  • Follow your officers/leaders ordered. Everyone gets lost once in a while but deliberately ignoring and going off to do your own thing = kick
  • Spamming the blackhawk side guns for no reason = kick. This attracts unwanted attention and gets everyone killed
Anyone have any they want to add? :P

Did you spawn in the pilot class? I think usually after 20 minutes you're granted pilot 'rights' IIRC.
As for the comms tower, that mission is pretty dynamic. Last time we played it there were 15-20 men dug in behind it. We all walked up to it then they tried to ambush us lol.
Similarly last time we landed at a certain spot south of the factory straight after destroying the tower, this time I marked the same spot and there were a pair of tanks there waiting for us!
 
Enjoyed the game on saturday night, for the most part some quite good team play and more than fairly admined a good server to visit. There was one visual cool moment to look at when someone decided to fly over and got shot down by a shilka, it looked fantastic seeing this spray of gun fire and the aicraft going up in a ball of flame, would have made a nice vid clip to show of the visiaul effect of the game. Some of the critics just don't know what they are missing.

Good stuff, jump on TS too!
Forgot to mention about the NVGs last night... I'm surprised nobody had a seizure with them flickering light/dark, they clearly need some work before a mission is playable in the dead of night (that other mission just before dawn seems to work fine).
Felt really weird flying that chopper towards that costal town, quite fast and low with you guys in the back when my NVGs went pitch black, had to slow down/move and land completely on instructions from shadowze over TS as I literally could not see a thing. Just goes to show the teamwork is top notch :D

Going by what was happening to me, I think the NVG issue is due to HDR and the auto gain of the NVGs.... I never had any problems in the forests, it was only in towns and would go nuts right after something reflects/emits some light (lamppost, signpost, window etc), HDR kicks in so the NVGs gain turns down, goes so dark that HDR is gone, so the gain shoots back up quickly, which causes HDR to kick in and the vicious circle starts.

My mic is broken atm :( i do have a ps3 bluetooth but dont have a bluetooth dongle for it :(

I do however have a built in mic on my laptop but the chances of my laptop running this game at a decent settings is very very slim

No worries dude, it probably worth jumping on TS anyway to hear whats going on, if you want to that is! I had a duff mic too so the first time on TS I couldn't speak, but could at least hear where others were going or where they were being shot from etc :)

I'll be on xfire after work this evening - username is Lee82UK :)
