Arma 2 multiplayer arranging thread

:rolleyes: I find the scoped machine guns a nice intermediate.
I had my eye on one of those special forces slots, then decided armoured division for me.

So hard to not get competitive with your own team for kills, when fighting AI. I find that is how I get killed mainly, rushing for some kills.
It is a very fine line I find in these coops, so far, between rushing into a hail of bullets to my death and not seeing any action, or getting left behind.
Loads more scope for team play if we got the clan. Even better I imagine playing against other clans.

By the way, what is so special about the special forces slots?

If you look at the roles page. I had envisaged the idea of promoting people to SF if they are top of the server, have improved the most over a given month, super tactical move that saved the day etc etc. It's really just a novelty.

A recipe for gungho/selfish play aswell me feels.
Do we ever lose against the AI?
The only fear I see in these coops, is not being in the top scorers. Not enough real overall teamwork imo, just enough to get the job done. Virtually everyones main objective, I feel, is getting more kills, not the team result. In the games I have played there are only a few, true, team players.
Some of the score lines I see are definately selfish, leave some kills for others, learn to trust your team.

dont you get points for healing someone? repairing a vehicle? taking a area just by being there?

In other words doesnt the point system work like in battlefield 2? i prefer that point system. it forces people to play as a team as you get points for other things besides killing people

where is my name on the pdf :) i would ask if i can become a squad leader but i dont use my mic all the time. im practising become good at infantry but it seems many get there kills using vehicles as mentioned previously.

its hard to spot enemies from a distance and a normal M4 rifle is pretty much useless in the sort of distance you get to see enemies.

Last night i grabbed a sniper rifle and immediately i managed to killed 3 people with it.

Normal machine gun rifles are only good for CQC

I disagree on that, L33 is always on the ground leading by examaple he is 3rd or 2nd in score, best weapon combo for troops is some form of anti tank witha scoped rifle ie m4 with scope/acog or teh x8 thing which jimbu uses

my self goes sniper and javlin or SRAW, most times a SRAW will disable the tank/BMP and teh crew get out and you nail them and a javlin just insta kills stuff

i think l33 was 42 Kills 11 tanks and that was no use of tank/heli

also you need to remeber its not all about kills in this game, there are many like hammer who spend most of the time ferrying troops looking for wrecks or air lifting stuff back and forth to keep the army working and moving

and those who drive attack helis/ a-10/harrier are very much walking a fine line, there is so much AA around them towns and a lot of teh time there shot down and then hammer has to go pick up the wrecks :D
 
anyways blackvault, ill take one of the mhq slots and engineer, as there is always someone shooting the damn tires on the MHQ cos they cant drive it.

oh and put me down somewhere as a re-capture town person, i did 3 solo the other night by using an mhq lol without losing it once

Thats what the awesome Arma2 scripting language is used for

so atm you only get points from killing people?

There not points per say,

USA army us the chalk up system, like world war 1/2 Pilots used to do by painting kills on there plane/tanks but i do see your point and agree that you should be rewarded for helping out

Like airlifting troops and such, points for troops carried safely or weight carried by lifters. salvage
Myabe in time that will happen when we have more ppl who can script and mod the game :)
 
that sucks. no wonder why there is not much team work involved. if they can reward players for helping others it may encourage more teamplay.

for example, those pilots who always pick up peopel and drop them off should be rewarded the same points as L33 and others who do there business on the field.

without good pilots us lot would be walking 100miles to the hot zones plus your tanks? who do you think air lifts those near the hot zones?

tanks cant be airlifted.
 
wow so how long does a tank get to the hot zone! by the way, where are all the fighter jets? would make life easier if you got on one and just bomb the hot zones
 
Should we play evo tonight then? Plenty of planes and choppers for support. Only problem is you need to rack the points up to get a rank to use the vehicles.

I dont think using the SF slot with the highest ranked is really a good idea as it will get messy. Just use it for those dedicated for side missions and recaptures and have a dedicated halo pilot.

The only way pilots can get points is through gunners taking targets down which we could start practicing via infantry insertion > takeout tungsta and BH and Hueys can provide overhead cover on command especially on side missions again with SF.

EDIT: Oh and can people make a profile with the [OcUK] Tag so we can identify you
 
I'm up for playing tonight, and that's a good idea about adding the OcUK tag as well. Hammer, sorry I left suddenly before just as I joined your squad, the game crashed.

as i said earlier you can easlily change the rank req's on the map to be lower... something that i would advise doing if you want to just bash about.
 
Loved the game again last night guys. Highlight after sucking bad since getting it was rounding a corner to see a enemy BPR that had not spotted me. Popped it tyres and the crew got out right in my crosshairs :)

Great fun and will be joing again tonight if I can
 
one question i see different chat colours, what do they represent... blue seems to be used mainly yet my chat is green?
