I'm glad it's specifically "ARMA 2", because the OA servers would get shitted up with 12 year old boys complaining about lagging on his moms laptop 24/7. Although a positive thing would be a little bit more population in the vacant forest of chernarus that ARMA 2 is. For us combined ops owners, those 2 british packs should be released to people that don't have it.

I'm kind of confused about what to do in this. I just got the free version, and the only server with good ping I could find was this RP server which didn't really interest me.
That's ok though, because I really just want to play coop with friends, how does this all work? Can I download user missions that work with the free version? The only thing I've tried gave me a generic AK, how can I chose a different gun?

I think single-player missions work in the free version- as far as I know, you just can't play the campaign. Install missions by downloading them and putting the folder in your My Documents/ArmA2(or ArmA2 Other Profiles)/Your Profile/MPMissions folder. Missions are automatically downloaded from the host to the clients.
As far as I know, the only limits to the free version in regards to co-op are no campaign and missions that don't require any mods or expansions like Operation Arrowhead.
The weapon selection depends on the mission- it's completely up to the creator.
Has anyone gotten ToH to load up the original ArmA 2 content?
[QUOTE=Jmir 54;30732411]I had a fun PUB game yesterday. My squad leader was some guy with a British accent and some guy with a heavy russian accent kept bombing citys with all sorts of odd bombs like chemical bombs and ICBMs.[/QUOTE]
What was his user name? :v:

later we played zombies and got on a dam
zombies like to swim
yes every single screenshot was in third person at the same angle roughly
what zombie mission is that?
[QUOTE=laxplayer77alt;30756306]what zombie mission is that?[/QUOTE]
A custom one I created that uses Celery's zombie script. I got it from his mission Chernarus Apocalypse (Yes he allows you to use it and release it etc. etc.). The units we are are Commando VDV in Woodland.
Is there a way to get the 'combat' singleplayer scenario into multiplayer coop?

[QUOTE=JerryK;30732098]it's like having the free versions of the DLC[/QUOTE]
Oh god, does that mean all of ArmA 2 free's textures look like shit stains similar to the lite DLC?

Pretty much, yeah. Someone posted a Comparison video earlier in the thread.
Which makes it all the more hilarious that my friend's computer still can't render the game models properly. :v:
Does anyone know how to make the Warfare module allow you to buy M4's and M16's from ACE instead of the SCARs and MK16's ? When I buy a unit from the barracks, they have M4's and M16's and all that good stuff from ACE, but buying weapons is the same as Vanilla Operation Arrowhead

what fuck simkas stop stalkering me
I wish the game would support TrackIR head positions too rather than just angles.
I wish I had a better computer. This game tends to play at 20 fps when i play with more than 15 AI.
[QUOTE=W0w00t;30767160]use an ace warfare mission[/QUOTE]
That's what I'm doing now, I just wanted to do it myself though
ohyeh
Anyone know of any maps that work with Arma2 Free that can be beat with only 2 people?
domination
heh heh
[editline]28th June 2011[/editline]
actually its possible, it'd just take you a long ass time
Pretty sure you can get a Warfare mission or two for Vanilla Arma. As long as you and your friend have full AI squads that you order around fairly good with, should have some fun taking towns
i miss Evolution
that was the first gamemode i ever played in ArmA 1 and it was so much fun, imo it's way more fun than Domination or Warfare
such a shame it died though

I used to play it on suicidesquad.co.uk server and sometimes the maker of Evolution also played there. Few times I worked as a tank driver and he was gunner etc. and it was good times.
It most likely died due to fact that it was same kind of town capturing like Domination and that Evolution didn't have MHQs and teleport ability so people got bored of constantly needing a taxi-chopper and someone to fly it.
