i recall scripting being really somewhat (mission wise) with OPF (earlier ver.), but you could do so much..
and now.. it feels like there are no limits
ye now we can put sheeps on top of harriers w/ wing mounted 155mm cannons
BTW show off all your attachto contraptions! I've not yet make mine, but wait!
someone should make a cow tower
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;23050345]glad you're enjoying the game, welcome to your new addiction![/QUOTE]
Thanks guys for the warm welcome, I think I'm gonna dig around on my own first before I try multiplayer.
Gah, I love ArmA 2, I really want this now.
Do you guys have a steam group or something? it'd be cool to play multiplayer sometime but in a massive game like this I can't help but feel a bit lost, playing with guys with FP would be awesome.
i hope ace get a oa release out soon (1.3 stable is the last arma 2 version apparently) then the supply boxes should be a bit more diverse, i think atm mission makers avoid putting stock arma 2 weapons in them so people with just OA can play the mission as well

They avoid putting any ArmA II stuff to the mission because they don't have the same features the OA stuff has.
Lag can do some nasty things. Before I turned my settings down I tried to play the first real mission and the helicopter flew directly downwards into a tree. Nice flying.

I'm gonna play nowadays in Profanwolfs "Takistan Liberation Front" server and =FoW='s server once it goes up. In =FoW='s server there is more strict rules etc. focused on the teamplay and not everyone running in the hill with .50 cal and Javelin or crashing choppers.

Theres strict stuff, when we have organised events. We are currently just messing around since all the members are either asleep or not online.
I'm getting this game tonight, and going to let it download over night.
How are the interior collisions? I've been trying to do a "A pilot has been shot down in the city, command a part of a humvee convoy trying to rescue them" but it turned into "your humvee is damaged, you hop out and run into a solid door. You die." because there wasn't enough cover. If I tried it with OA, would I get a better result? Could I actually (gasp) engage people inside a building?
the ai still don't use buildings if thats what you mean

unless you put them there and still they arnt too smart
How to assemble static weapons from backpacks:
There is one ultimate tripod backpack that works for every static weapon.
First, you place the tripod backpack to the ground, then you take the weapon backpack you want to assemble, and walk to the tripod backpack. Then you look at the tripod backpack the same way you would pick it up and you'll get assemble option to the action menu.

Bugs I have found: If you assemble M2 machine gun from the backpack (not M2 minitripod) you'll get US mortar instead.
Tow is bugged. There is no static TOW inside US - Static and if you assemble the TOW backpack then you'll get TOW launcher that is called AT launcher and can't shoot anything.
This should make some MP missions interesting if there would be backpacks on the mission.
Note that there is no ammo backpacks for the static guns, the ammo is with the backpack that you use to assemble the gun.
BIS probably made the usage of just one ultimate tripod and no need for ammo carrier just to make things more simple.
i still haven't been able to successfully combine OA with ArmA 2
I haven't tried it, but after launching once the (Steam bought) game detected my non-Steam copy of ArmA 2 and the next time the launch menu came up it gave an option for "Launch ArmA Combined Operations". A unit adding mod I had installed ages ago for ArmA 2 also worked first time without any fiddling.
I am downloading it right now through Steam it is at 5%. I cannot wait.
Finally got it. I had to get the combined operations pack, but whatever. I guess I'll get the game twice.
Installing it now. Looking forward to playing some insurgent missions on COOP. Those are always fun.

I've got the option now to launch Combined Operations but ArmA2 is still grayed out in the Expansions menu.

Server's down.

What no
I'm having trouble with mission 5 in the OA campaign. Can't advance when I get to the objective where I have to attack the defenses.
[QUOTE=BAR;23055729]I've got the option now to launch Combined Operations but ArmA2 is still grayed out in the Expansions menu.[/QUOTE]
You still should be getting the content even if it's grayed out.
Does Combined Ops mean Chernarus too?
Takistani invasion of Chernarus or vice versa...
Shit, I tried to launch Combined Ops and it flashed up with a command window scrolling through about 6 errors and then exited. A quick screenshot of the errors revealed that they said something like "Registery not found: OPERATION ARROWHEAD->IFERROR... something"
yea
btw it's only South Zagoria area, Chernarus is the entire country. Same goes for Takistan map.
did you touch anything with combined ops?
[QUOTE=Profanwolf;23059791]What no[/QUOTE]
It was an hour ago.
Hey, just got unbanned, and I'm planning on getting OA on Steam.. but I have ARMA2 retail, is there a way I can still combine them?
