Am def up for a clan! I aim to design missions and host them for co-op play. I used to do that in ofp. You only need 4-6 players for great times to be had. Any kind of "behind enemy lines" scenario always works well and in a game like Arma2, with smart AI, it will be stunning I'm sure.
ARMA2 & OFP2 who else cant wait

Hmmm....my copy of Arma doesn't seem to want to work on Vista.....
Have you installed the latest patch? 1.14 I think it is.
I also tried ARMA on the back of the ARMA2 hype. Only played it briefly before.
It really didn't want to know - wouldn't even start at all until I installed the final patch.
Enjoyed it actually - played a blow up a convoy mission as a lone wolf without really knowing what I was doing. When I finally nailed the convoy the game crashed!
It does seem pretty flaky, which was what stopped me playing the first time.
Looking forward to ARMA2 though.

From what I have read to really get the most from Arma you need to also install the ACE mod along with a few other tweaks such as some tracer effects pack etc (basically whatever Shack Tac use) but I think that once Arma2 is out Arma will just be forgotten tbh so I wouldn't go out of your way trying to get into it now.
From what I can tell, Flashpoint 2 is out in September for all formats. Arma2 is out June 26th for PC and God knows when for consoles.
Was thinking about potential missions for Arma2! If we can form a OcUK clan with at least ten members, which should be possible, then I will strive to make some epic co-op missions for us. The campaign is also co-op too. Really can't wait for this one.
New OFP: DR video on codies website and also an estimate of 'autumn' for release:

I'd be up for an Arma 2 clan for sure.
Your correct, i dont know why the website i was looking at said different dates as now all sites say they that all formats are September.
I would be more than up for Coop with Arma 2. I havent really played pc games seriously online for a long time. I would like to meet up with a few forum members to get some frequent games arranged. Arma 2 does look like a fantastic game, almost looking more forward to Arma than Operation Flashpoint.

I only ever saw Arma as an addon to Operation Flashpoint. Nothing really new to get into and so I think I preferred Operation Flashpoint. But this time, I guess we all have Arma 2 to keep us going until the Autumn release of OFP2. Am completely stoked for these games.
For me the best part of OFP was mission editing, in Arma I just didn't find that the game worth investing time in. For some reason it just never captured the feel of the original.
The biggest problem with both games was the AI, sometimes it was great but other times it was dreadful.

My all time favourite mission of ANY game was in Operation Flashpoint. I will never forget that one where you are alonein the woods and Everon is being evacuated and you have to get to the evac point in time. It had terrific atmosphere. The radio messages of panic telling you that you are on your own. I will never forget that one.
