ArmA 2 Working COOP Missions?

Right folks, new PC yesterday so I've got some catching up to do.

Last time I played ArmA 2 was at a friends and we found it infuriating that half the COOP missions were either broken or just impossible without knowing what was coming next, taking out all the fun.

Can anyone recommend some downloadable missions (or specific ones within the game) that work well?

I think I've got every expansion pack there is and will full update but probably won't bother with any mods.

Any suggestions?

go on armaholic and download via rating, sure you'll find some good ones.

Cheers for the link, looks like a good resource!

Problem I've got is that they're so endless and even sorting by hits you get things like "Dynamic Zombie Sandbox" at the top which I why if anyone has any recommendations I'd be very grateful

We found the same when we all started with arma ii recently. We now have a wasteland server up, which concentrates in team play. All weapoond are available and base building etc. The Sig is my server that I run, usually at least 30 on at night time. We have a ts3 serverr that we all use as well. Feel free to join and download the mission file.

I am always working in updates for it as well. Just check out the wasteland thread and see what you think.

Ah ha! I hadn't even given thought to playing it online yet with a group of folk.

Strange because it used to be the only way I played Operation Flashpoint back in the day

You may well see me in there very soon!

If you are not going to bother getting any mods you are going to find it pretty hard to find missions that are good as most of the really good mission created use them. I'd suggest downloading the ACE mods at the very least.
As for missions how many player are going to be playing? you really should suite the ones you download to the number of players you have.

Ah, thought missions would be kinda separate from the mods but if some are a requirement to get polished missions on the go then I'm more than happy to get them.

Was only saying I wasn't planning on modding to make the options a little easier, but if that's not the case then I'm open to anything!

If something from a mod (ie a single weapon) in on the map, you cannot play without that specific mod. The missions should come with a list of required mods to play.

Often it will be a specific unit model that look 10x better than the default BIS stuff and possibly a specific vehicle or two.

And 9 times out of 10. ACE2.

Your best bet is to join a clan. Such as the one marker is offering. I'm also a part of one but to avoid stepping on MarkeRs toes as he got in there first. You will have to message me in trust to find out more

Online with a good team of other people playing multiplayer is the best way to enjoy arma 2

Single player is pretty boring to be honest
