I can't even join any servers, after it downloads the content it just shows the server browser again. I have the latest patch (1.09 I think). Is there a guide somewhere on how to play this game online because it doesn't make it easy for you. I know it is preferred to play it with a clan where you do co-op missions and stuff, but there must be simple CTF/TDM modes too.
 
Bought four copies to play coop with my friends tonight.

We are all now very bored and confused. Worst £16 ever :(

Not if you'd looked into what the game actually is, its not your average shooter, it's a soldier sim and it can take a while to get to grips with.
Put in the effort to really learn how to play and you will find a hell of a lot to like in Arma.

Getting Arrowhead as well will open up many more servers but when I last looked there were still a fair few Arma 2 servers running domination games.
Work together to take down the enemy held townsis fantastic when played with good people. Theres a pretty comprehensive wiki out there for helping work out whats what with Domination.
 
this is one of the main reasons i hated the first arma so much, mods are fine but have a decent implementation if their core to the experience. Or if their needed that dramatically maybe the game itself isn't the best.
 
what seems to be the problem exactly? , do you all get the same error?
Whenever I join a server, it downloads the content (I assume the map/mission data), goes to the loading screen, then after it completes it just shows the server browser with no error or anything.
 
Maybe you need to update battleye or the server you connect to are using OA addons? Not sure if OA addons can be used on arma 2 but on OA nearly all servers use OA+ A2 addons and islands
