[B]Description:[/B]
I'm here to tell you about this amazing game called arma2, and lets start off with saying that this is nowhere near most games that look like they try to mimic reality, with combined arms combat and large scale warfare.
In games like Battlefield Bad company 2 the ranges you engage at are never more than a few hundred meters at best, and in that case you are never efficient anyways, whereas in arma the only thing limiting your engagement range is your viewdistance which you can change whenever you want, as well as the fact that you can take incredible amounts of damage in most fps games like Bc2 or Mw2, whereas in arma a single well placed stray bullet can end you, making cover and proper tactics very important. The game has few shortcomings in the department of simulating a warzone, but the fact that the animations may be slightly clunky and that there are no ragdolls, but after playing for a while this is nothing you care about, because with the sheer scale of arma2.
There is really nothing you can't do. Engage with a helicopter over huge distances, you might have fired a hellfire at an unsuspecting enemy convoy before they even hear you coming.
Bullet physics in arma2 are quite advanced, despite seeming blatantly plain at most times, they take into account bullet weighting, wind, realistic recoil and many other things, making that shot you're taking very important.

every arma video is just explosions and vehicles blowing stuff up with some lame song
That village battle looks almost cinematic at some points. Can you really move the camera round independently of the view?

Yes.
I can't remember if I tried or not, but is it possible to play the Arma 2 vanilla user made islands in Combined Operations?

Yes it is, that's why combined operations is amazing :v:
This game makes my computer cry.

Think about ArmA III... Most computers can barely run this on the highest settings, so imagine what it's gonna be like for III. :ohdear:
If you want to be a officer in the arma group to set up games or something, let me know.

My PC is not ready.
I bought combined operations a few months ago on amazon when it was on sale for about 12 dollars or so, so I have to use the amazon downloader. I'm not able to install it because I get the error "File copy error: (CRC does not match) C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\AddOns\buildings2.pbo" while installing, and it's not always buildings2, it's often other .pbo files in \addons. If anyone can help me with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Corrupted files, re-download it.

Sir, if i had a better computer than what i had i would probery have to buy this game. Because that is awesome.
That battle bus thingy was freaking nice !!
Also Profan, i'm joining the group as i'm interested to spread my missions too :D
Are there any missions or scripts or whatever that would randomly spawn units and vehicles around the map doing patrols and shit or just guarding something? I wanna make a mission where I'd be just using an apache to take out a bunch of enemy units and it'd be really cool if it could be randomized.

UPS (Urban Patrol Script).
Even though it says urban, it works in pretty much every environment. With it you can just make a marker and it will spawn enemy groups inside the marker randomly, and they start patrolling inside the marker area randomly.

The one I find on armaholic says it's for arma 2, will it work in CO too?

All of the scripts that were made for arma 2 work in CO, they didn't change anything when it comes to the scripting language.
[editline]31st May 2011[/editline]
Which is also why all missions made for arma 2 can be played through CO.
Sometimes wish there was an easy mode for this game, like call of duty settings where 1 button does all, after not playing the game for a few months its bloody hard remembering all the commands.

It's a list of AI mods and scripts that fix the horrible default AI.
Anyone wanna play this [url]http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14211[/url] mission right now? I got a server up, there's space for like 5 or so more people. Filter for my name if you wanna find it, password is "penis".

You don't need any addons for it, just the mission.

Put an announcement up for you.
How do I spawn a car with it's headlights on?
GOD DAMNIT! That "Jackal" mission is so damn hard. The soldiers always see when I try and blow up a tank!
Set it on a long timer and run. It's a bug that the AI immediately spots you if you detonate satchel charges as if you fired a really loud weapon.
Damn I like these games but get bored because online is a drag with idiots who don't play properly.
That was great fun. Too bad my PC crashed and now I can't bother to start it again.
I can run it on high at 40 FPS, but I have to run it at low 800x600 so my GPU will stop blue screening and crashing. :frown:
