Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

ianh · 23 Aug 2011 at 17:00

ShaggyD - On Armaholic.com download section I try all the OA campaigns/missions and there's very few that are "true to life" as most non-military folks (or less informed) who make the missions don't realise the numbers of troops involved in real missions, which is why I like Op Mighty Justice on there. I can't understand "scripting" but I rob/borrow scripting bits from the Addon's Demo missions (most come with one thankfully) like the Fast Roping or the AC-130 below

The Ac-130 looks great will have to try that, I have not downloaded any any missions yet I guess I have been missing out.

I have been playing sp campaign or online but i'm getting board of domination server I find them repetitive are there any good coop missions servers? (no domination or hold)

Also found this game lacks vs modes online? I though it would be massive online?

I think it's not that popular online (compared to COD, MW etc) because a - it looks too difficult, you can't just run around shooting and bunny hopping etc

and b - trying to get join an online session can be a nightmare with soooo many different mods etc and the only decent "mod updater" to make sure you could join online was SixUpdater which until recently wasn't the easiest thing to use.

I'm probably going to end up having 2 installs, 1 for online with ACE etc and 1 with my own preferred mods for offline.

Best mod for OA

I am by no means biased.

Yeap it's the same one, hugely complicated to use at first but seriously worth it. Get a Battery of 6 firing on command and watch all your problems disappear

Installing this bad boy now, will let know how it goes

Make sure you have the correct mods installed, easiest way to do download them is to use a program called sixupdater.

Edit: don't worried I have uninstalled this game.

Yeah, apparently theres going to be a 1.61 also (think the first beta patch since release is already up!) then that will most likely be it until Arma3.

PsychoPigeon · 23 Dec 2011 at 00:27

No more warping? wow finally, i hated doing coop and having enemy soldiers lag. Such a good game but so hard to find a server which has constant teamwork

Dickyb0b · 23 Dec 2011 at 00:46

Looks like a big update, gonna test it out ...

lurkio · 23 Dec 2011 at 19:50

Yeah new patch is VERY good , performance is much much better

Played on the hc havoc server for about an hour last night testing stuff out

XPE · 23 Dec 2011 at 20:13

Thats what I hate about BI games you cant play them when 1st released

But when they patch them up they become really fun!

ianh · 23 Dec 2011 at 23:40

The graphical update is a huge bonus for me. With everything max'd out I was still getting low res textures on soldiers/trees on looking through a scope (O/C'd GTX580 etc). Now I have been able to drop everything to Normal (mid) and the game looks better than when everything was at Max!

MissileMoose · 24 Dec 2011 at 00:36

Reinstalling my copy of Combined Operations for the new patch. Had some issues with it not responding, so I left ArmA for about a month. Getting back into it now with my unit, can't wait!

Got a collection of about 300 addons, all squared away for quick access. Love my mods I do.

Anybody up for a game (MUST be ACE dev)?

Rhodan · 25 Dec 2011 at 18:52

Can anyone help with a probem I'm having regarding mods with Arma 2: OA?

I downloaded and installer Six Updater, and selected to install ACE and RH Weapons. How do I get everything in the right order to startup the game?
