Someone share a good war story, like we used to back when we had an ArmA sub forum.
PVP should be town scale at most, otherwise the distances become too large.
Edit: Then there's "Epic warfare" which has nice user friendly UIs, more cash so you can get into action with good gear right away and other shit. The problem with distances is still prevalent though. Someone should make a warfare gamemode that only spans 1/4 or so of the map so that you can actually find anyone.
Warfare is great for Singleplayer, Domination for Multiplayer
Insurgency would be great if we're going to have just a few players on the server on non-busy day. It can be very intense and close-quarter on certain maps, like Zargabad. A great mode for a few fellas.
domination is shit as well, TFOR/CFOR/LFOR slightly less so but really all of those game modes like evolution, domination TFOR/CFOR are crap and only worth playing if you dont have any real missions to play. the worst is WiT, so much crap taking up the screen and even with the ace version it uses its own medic system but you can almost guarantee that the second you run it pubs will start joining.
someone needs to modify the ace insurgency to work on more than just takistan iirc the base insurgency by pogoman/fireball can be run on various islands
I really liked Insurgency when fighting in like urban areas. Didn't happen much but it was fun.
Never heard of Insurgency... Anyone have a link to an OA/ACE capable mission? Zargabad would be preferrable

it has a few issues, on back doesnt work because of the loadout system, you cant pack a ruck (but there are preloaded rucks for medics and possibly other roles) also because of the loadout system, the ai one shots you from miles away even with the shitty weapons they are given, the mk19 crows are very overpowered
if you look in the server browser there are a lot of user edits of that mission that include a proper weapon box and different vehicles but some of them are pussys and disable opfor, there are also a couple of 0.80 ace versions and i found a fallujah insurgency ace but they were either on a passworded server so i couldn't join to download the mission or people in the clans irc chan wouldn't give me the mission, arseholes
[editline]2nd July 2011[/editline]
if you happen to have any of the following missions please post them
Insurgency 0.80 ACE [Rangers & RHweapons], Fallujah
Insurgency 0.80 ACE [Rangers & RHweapons], Zargabad
Insurgency 0.80 ACE, Zargabad
veterans gaming has the best games of insurgency from what i've seen. good leadership on the evenings / nights
i have played on there server its not bad, has a interesting selection of vehicles and a proper weapon box but the game i played was very disorganized and they have it in pussy mode (opfor slots disabled), i managed to get insurgency0_80_ace_acre_0-2.zargabad from a german clan, not been able to test myself yet as i cant upload missions to the clans server but its supposed to be slightly buggy (loadout box doesnt move if you relocate mhq) and i hope acre is optional in the parameters as the clan im in doesnt use it but thats not a big issue, sounds like a interesting modification though aparantly they added some Bundeswehr loadouts
You could just leave it on MCC Sandbox, that would allow people to even make their own missions, not even having to worry about Domination or any of that shit.
MCC limits your scripting though doesnt it? i played [url]http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14660[/url] a lot recently and you wouldnt be able to do half the stuff that mission contains with a RTE, i would rather play a mission with cool stuff like weather that syncs across all clients and disarmable IEDS rather than something that was quickly thrown together in a rte
So I'm mucking around with the editor trying to get troops to eject from a C-130. I load them fine, but none of the unload waypoints seem to work. I [url=http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=84395]did some googling[/url], but I honestly can't make heads of tails of this shit. Is there just a waypoint I can add to tell them to jump out of the damn airplane?

No, there isn't. You'll have to do that with scripting. This guy did a pretty shitty job of formatting but it gets it across at any rate.

How much faster is Operation Arrowhead going to be than normal Arma 2? I heard it ran so much faster than Arma 2.
Not much, It only does because there's an absence of tons of unoptimized trees, in my opinion, but it does run a bit better

IIRC you need a script to be able to do it, [url]http://www.kylania.com/ex/?p=1[/url] should help you out. (You'd run the script on the waypoint that you want them to start ejecting at.) That link also includes a demo, which should help, though looking at the thread it's simple enough.
I could do it in like a minute or less, if i actually had ArmA/Operation Arrowhead. (Formatted and lost the manual for it :( )
Although, if you sent me the raw mission file (shows up in a folder when you save it in the editor) I could use notepad and put it in.

In my opinion Chernarus runs much smoother with OA, and there is less problems with lod swapping when closing in on objects. OA runs smoother overall than ArmA II on my computer.
I got a shitty laptop and hopefully getting a way better PC this year and I can run ARMA 2 on Low to normal. Will I be able to run ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead the same or better? I didn't buy ARMA 2, I got it free from the site and I'm not sure if I want to buy Operation Arrowhead yet if I can't play it at all. What do you guys think?

On the outskirts of the Zargabad map I get 60 solid frames per second, but I stick right around 25 at all times when in the main city and beyond until scenery gets scarce. Arma 2 was the same way but hardly ever hit 60 unless I was just looking at the sky. Then again running Warfare with 8 full AI squads on each team + the town resistance doesn't help

That may be true, but it doesn't make me disagree with you less.

But if you know how to bake a cake, it helps you cause then you know what it should taste like.

If you can play Arma 2, then you can play Operation Arrowhead, as it runs slightly better (Though I can only tell a minor difference myself) My main issues with the framerate was the trees and bushes in Arma 2, with OA I don't have that issue, I can zoom right into them and stay at 25ish Frames per second instead of [b]DIE[/b]

But that would require time and someone who's good at mission making. I, for example, never did any missions, so I wouldn't even try making one on the server for others to play.
Just bought Arrowhead for $18 at Walmart. Hope it serves well in my life(Which it will).
Has anyone ever tried kissing in ArmA? :v:

With the new ace handsignals you can give eachother handjobs; the amount of tomfoolery pre-briefing in ops in VCB increased tenfold
