Arma 2 multiplayer arranging thread

Great game tonight guys... That last town was awesome with me bombing all the armor for your insertion while you all stood and watched on the borders.
 
Hey Guys My first post here :o had to really now im playing arma 2 with you lot :D

All i can say is tuesday game was one of the best things ever, started out at 5.30pm left at 12am, with 5-6 tonws taken by us, however the great moment for me was on teh mountain side with sniper 1.5km out advising targets i could see and getting permission from shadowze to fire , killed 4 solders with sniper over 1.4km distance.. that wasnt the best bit it was teh mountain i was on turning in to a fire works show of heavy gun fire tank shelling and bmp rounds bouncing around me and scaring teh heck out of me.. never have i felt such fear of dying in a game.. and teh fact i was shell shocked with ringing in my ears and blur vision from the impact apon the hill side... intense !!!!

and Last night was a double sided sword: me and hammer worked are balls off to fly ppl in the night in black hawks with night vision and no 3rd person... not easy by a long shot and i had to fully concentrate on all i did last night lol

what was bad was all teh fools on the server up till when l33 came home, we only took one town when i left. we had ppl all over the map :S some even requested pick ups lol like how in the heck was they 120km away from missions? and also i rage quited due to the tard who got in my heli, fly to a LZ got out turned around and used a stinger on me :/

Also expandingon blackvaults idea on a OCUK clan.

How about a list of the regs who always play on teh server and byside there name give notes to what there capable of doing so all know

IE
Sarcasm -- Qualified Pilot Heli -- Sniper -- Javlin System
Hammer -- Qualified Pilot Heli
Shadowze -- Commader -- Squad Leader
L33 -- Commader-- Squad Leader --Anti tank
Gord -- Qualified Pilot Heli
Blackvault -- Qualified Armour/MHQ

Would be good then and know who can fit in to what postion if and when needed
weekend im gonna try and get good with planes

Just a idea :)

also thanks to teh admisn who make teh server such a great place to play your owrk is much needed and appreciated by all

How do you increase in rank so you can use more vehicles? Do you have to play the single player missions?

I had a quick go last night/early hours of morning and despite failing badly it was fun. I really need to increase my map reading skills.

Anyone know of a good server where it isnt set to vet so I can practice more before using the lost in the woods games.

I am disappointed with the game manual as well, I would like to know more about the weapons that you can select.

Anyone recommend a good all round setup?

The server isnt always on vet, just last night. Rank is increased by kills in that game.

Just hate that the server is on a generally low difficulty it becomes stupid when AI see you right next to them and dont do anything.

Has the server been put back to how it was not last night but the night before (was it domination?) as the server and the people on it were class! Think someone changed it to a Veteran mission co-op game, tbh im not sure what the hell it was but the original settings had us all having some of the best online gaming you could possibly ever have!

Thx!! Hopesy.

p.s. sorry for not knowing what game modes were running on the OcUk server!

Yeah well i went afk to find that the server had changed and we were on that vet mode at night with no 3rd person (which btw is a blessing because running in first person makes me want to puke!), no GPS, and spawning in remote parts of the map to get no chopper evac! Someone said that you can spawn where ever you want when you connect/die but i couldn't see the spawn tabs for that?

I gave up in the end! :mad:

We had a real good team on tuesday night, and like i said it was some of the best online gaming i've ever had.
 
teamwork on Monday night for me was brilliant but last night was a joke. why was i re spawned in the middle of nowhere at night? why was people taking all the choppers and crashing them?

me and some other guy was stranded waiting for someone to pick us up and it took maybe 30mins for another fellow OCUK member to ****ing steal a chopper off of one of those pricks in our base.

i wished these kids will stick to playing cod4 instead of ruining and ****ing this game up online for everyone else.


This is a game where if just one single guy ****'s about, it will effect everyone in the server by ruining it for everyone else.

Even then we got shot down while I was checking my map for the next hot zone.

I do wish the hotzones would show up on the mapping for aircraft. Swapping to the big map is just a nightmare at times.. or I just need a faster PC.

ahh yea so it was you who picked us up? guess it was just us 3 that tried to play this game properly out of all the other people that was on this server.

In some console games such has fifa09, you was able to create reserve slots for your friends to join in. cant we do the same on this server? allow maybe only 5 random people to join whilst the rest of us can join freely?

There was only me in Heli at that point (gord joined as i just left in anger !) all helis was blown up and i was trying my hardest to pick all up i could while also carrying troops from airfeild to hot zones :(

was near impossible task, thou as i said above the learning exp from doing night evac and LZ work in first person as heli pilot was rewarding and helped me learn and improve my heli skills 5 fold
 
Please for the love of god put it back to how it was lol! Being in the middle of nowhere with no GPS was, well, not fun! Also having it set to night (which i don't mind) brought out the children as they thought they could go undetected with tk's and general 'effin about in vehicles etc!

Like i said tuesday was spot on, we had designated chopper pilots who went to and from hotzones and a cracking team to boot, we spawned at the base when killed and had the standard issue GPS which is always used in modern warfare *hint hint ;P

In the past few days i have gone from server to server, no one playing the game properly, spawning in crazy spots and also tk'ing idiots it was a bloody pleasure finding the OcUk server, just hope you listen to some of the points being made here ;)

cheers!
 
This is just a suggestion as the server isnt mine and I dont want to peeve anyone off, But why not say, every Wednesday Friday and Sunday someone passwords the server for OCUK memebers only night(even label the server as well)

That way we can all get a fix of epic 30 man teamage with no nub jockeys.

The most important thing is to have fun, if you start trying to regiment how we play then its to much like a job and it erodes why we play these games... hell i love flying and im an ok pilot, but FO am i doing that every night, total turn off I M O

We have maintained a very practical and pragmatic outlook on "milsim" (military simulation) and have taken every measure possible to avoid doing things "because the real military does them" and thus becoming what we call "hardcore milsim".

In our eyes, that hardcore milsim (which often simply is referred to as "milsim" in general) is chock-full of "tactical fluff" that is irrelevant to the games at hand. This hardcore milsim typically presents itself though excessive rules, regulations, attempted recreations of full military rank structures far beyond what is relevant in the scope of your average ArmA mission, doing things "because the real military does them" regardless of their actual application to the game at hand, and other things that we believe do not have a place in these games.

Nothing has been changed, it was just a different mission. In Arma2, the missions have a lot of control over the 'settings' as such, i.e. they can define whether you have GPS, what you can and can't see on the map etc.
For those saying about all the idiots on the server and lack of admins, to be fair it was the first night that an admin wasn't available, and you can always vote your own admin - so just pick someone responsible and vote for them. I cleaned the server of morons as soon as I got home.

For those saying XYZ setting is crap and ABC setting is crap, it is just impossible to please everyone so we've tried to tune the settings to be a happy medium between insanely hard and stupidly easy.
Also somebody asked about reserve slots, unfortunately this isn't supported by Arma or Arma 2. Hopefully in the future....
 
Like i said before, have a list of all the regs from OCUK server

and have a list of things there able to do :) should hammer and gord not wish to fly then it can be me and You per say or who ever else can fly. good pilots are so much a major factor to arma2 and knowing you can trust your pilot is critical, we can rotate with those who can fly. i dont mind flying for 3-5 hours ever so often, but i do love my sniper role a lot :Dand im sure hammer and Gord dont wanna fly forever aswell

if you have a list of wants and abilitys of each player you can see who can be used should main stream pilots.commanders,corpemen,snipers,AT are not around

ie Sarcasm:- Heli Pilot, Sniper, Javlin system, MHQ, MG, all Tank roles

btw L33 thanks for all teh effort you and shadoze do

I second that! btw im no expert on this game but i try my best to be a good team player! Also with my posts i would also like to point out that im not intentionally trying to annoy anyone or get anyones back up and i appreciate that it is your server and basically you can do what you like with it ;)
 
I have to admit,

last night was not my game..
I tried to shot the retard gunner who was shootin in my heli all the time..
FACT was, it was KnightStalker, who wasnt the retard... I apologize again m8!:(

2ndly, I really dont know how to use that Grid coords..people were screaming "Pick up pls!", some of them where hundrets of kilometres away...

My concentration was a bit ******!

I dont really like that profi setting, as there are some new guys playin it, and dont know where to go. Also you cant see, who died or who got killed by friendly fire, which is a disadvantage IMHO!
Someone said, "Err someone killed several teammates in a humvee at base, but I dont know who it was!"

Anyways, maybe its better to make some COOP-Event-Days rather than playin all day... lol


greetings

Hammer
 
yer i agree with hammer, on most parts.. what i cant understand was how ppl was ending up all over the dam place :S like i said before was almost a impossible task to ferry ppl to and from airbase to LZ and then pick up all those who was scattered all over the map demading pick ups..

Thou some did help by marking there map and not giving grid refs
