ArmA 2 and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead v2

[TheTalon]

Did some Coop on the 15th MEU server, frapsed a lot of it too, going to put some of the clips together

I've got more clips but I don't know if I'll make another video using them. This was just one small engagement

[Pilotguy]

If I have both Arrowhead and ARMA 2, but not in combined ops form, is there any way I can combine the two without reinstalling them?

I wanna join!

[Psygo]

TheTalon why does your guns sound so much better than mine, when I'm playing and I fire pretty much anything I just hear a little bang

[Helari]

Mods?

[Jah'maaun]

He is using ACE2 and possibly some other mods but ACE2 I'm sure of.

[TheTalon]

ACE2 and the sound effects are from ACEX_SM

[QUOTE=TheTalon;30936019]ACE2 and the sound effects are from ACEX_SM[/QUOTE]

Is there any chance I could join in on that realism unit? I have all the ACE2 mods and everything and tons of hours with Operation Arrowhead.

Grab SixUpdater, pick the 15th MEU server and make it a preset and download the mods its using, create a shortcut using only those mods, and join in whenever you want. It's a mission with no real goal, but random spawns of insurgents, guerrillas and convoys/armor/Bases, etc

They welcome everyone, as long as they aren't asshats

Is there a teamspeak server or ventrilo server that is used or is it just ingame communications and how do I get to the 15th MEU server on SixUpdater. I've used it before but I just used the ACE2 presets.

[Teh Zip File]

Geez, I just played OA for like... five hours.

For a while we were having happy fun time glitchyness:

Now, you can't see it, but I spawned a priest and made him walk towards the BMP the other guy was in... he got so scared when he saw him. Shot him with a rocket. Wish I'd recorded it.

The CE0_AANBackgroundRadio is the most perfect thing for horror mode. It's like Silent Hill music.

Nonsense.

[RayvenQ]

[QUOTE=hurts;30932298]

You could start at the maximum effective range for the weapon, since it isn't a stretch to imagine you'll need to be doing some shooting at those ranges in ArmA. So 500m for the AK-74/107 and 550m for the M16A2/4[/QUOTE]

Well, I'm getting my proficiency up with the SPR (my favourite gun ever) 700M fairly reliably, just need to practise more.

and damn, so many weapons with ACE, and i feel like i should be proficient with all of them (but damn, tried some pistol shooting at 50m, the GLocks were fine, but the M1911 and some of the others, they kept missing so damn much.

Gonna practise assault rifles at about 600m until I get a good accuracy (standing, crouch, prone etc)

[Twinkletoes]

Why do people use six updater, it's probably the most buggy, slow one out there. Yoma is far better

I like setting up little MOUT courses with the targets on a runway for weapon practicing. Take some H Barriers and make a building layout with rooms and doors, put targets in the corner and try sweeping the rooms clear as fast as you can without bringing your sights up or stopping to aim. I've gotten really proficient at firing on the move up to about 60m without aiming down my sights, or a crosshair on the screen. I also like to set some targets in a city and spawn on a hill with sniper rifles. Sniping with ACE is extremely difficult at the 1200+ Ranges.

With SixUpdater, Click the server tab and then refresh, find the "15th MEU(SOC) Realism Unit" server, right click on it, click "New Preset with Server" Then on the left you just right click on the preset and click Install or Update, and after it's finished, Right click the preset again and click Update or Actions then Create Shortcut to Desktop, then run that to join the server.

You NEED Combined Ops to play, and they have Teamspeak but they use it mainly for ACRE, which uses teamspeak but it simulates Radios and radio range
If you want their TS Info, ask for it after you join their server

They both suck.

There, I said it.

:v:

SixUpdater is updated more often and is probably better in feature deparment. I did like Yoma too. I guess I don't really care as long as they both do what they are supposed to do. Future versions of Six are supposed to be improved in performance and usability.

I usually train sniping with ACE Tracer rounds. That way you always see more easily where the shot lands and that way you can learn to quickly estimate where the shot would land once you are actually on combat.

Funny enough I try to use tracer rounds whenever I can, no matter what weapon I'm using

I don't like Six because it syncs every 10 minutes, which puts my ingame framerate down to 10 for a few seconds.
You can disable that, though it takes a while until you find out what causes it and once it's disabled,
the updater screams "LAST SYNC IS LONG AGO PLS DO AGAIN" pretty much every time I look.

[TheTalon]

I don't even run it when I'm playing Arma, no point. I just use it for quick acquisition of Mods and Updates for them to keep up with the servers I play on

[Rickshaw]

dammit six updater can't find my arma2oe.exe

This is the CE0_AANBackgroundRadio thing:

I guess that's from the first mission of OA? It's from the soundmissions_e pbo.

It took me forever to find a [I]working[/I] PBO extractor.

How would one get the "Undead Mod" working in OA/CO?

[Snuffy]

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;30949548]How would one get the "Undead Mod" working in OA/CO?[/QUOTE]

It's an Arma 2 mod, so it should install and work like any other. Install a mod folder, open the editor, place a few modules and you're set.

I haven't had any experience with modules. Please explain.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;30949920]I haven't had any experience with modules. Please explain.[/QUOTE]

For the Undead mod, I think you just press F7 in the editor and click wherever. It should spawn zombies automatically when you start the mission- if it doesn't, you can try syncing it to the player (F5). I think the mod comes with some sample missions, too- you can always open those in the editor and play around to see what's going on.

Close. You have to place either the Zombies or Infected module on the map, depending on whether you want slow, shambling zombies or cracked out, sprinting infected. Don't use both at once.
Once one of the modules are down, the actual zombie/infected units are listed under Independent and there's a pre-made group of them under the groups menu.
The spawner module will automatically spawn groups of them, and you can customize the group size, destination, and frequency of spawns as well as turn it on or off with a little scripting. By default I think it spawns a group of 20 every 3 minutes, up to a max of 100 "living" zombies/infected at any one time.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;30949920]I haven't had any experience with modules. Please explain.[/QUOTE]
For the undead mod it's pretty simple. You just place the module like you would a unit, select Modules from the editor menu on the right side, double click, and select Zombies or Infected from the drop down menu. That lets you place the zombies/infected like any other unit and have them actually work.
