Curious to as this, as i have asked rofl before and he has had mixed opinions. Lets see what YOU guys think of this. As if you want it, then there's a bigger chance we will get it. If it does happen, it will probably end up headed by me and possibly hoplite/smt or others. Hopefully it will be a full milsim group, but we can and probably WILL do other activites.
If you don't know what arma2's like but are intrested, check out the free version and try it.
Voting ends in a week.
-
Explain further.
-
What on? Generally ArmA2 or what the 'group' will do?
If its on the group, then it will be generally running a small company with an assortment of attached groups. It will start small, but when more join, more and more positions will open up, and its basiclly just rping an army. Note- there will be required mods for this, but not many, basiclly just ACE2 and maybe one or two others.
-
ArmA 2 me likey.
-
I agree with adding ArmA 2 but not with Operation Arrowhead, or any expansions for that matter. By adding it without expansions, you allow for those who have the free version to play.

The vanilla a2 isn't exactly the best
-
I could sort of see a server like that working out. I personally have spent quite a few hours on ArmA2 and OA....Idk.....
It's a great game, but you'd have to defenitally get Zeus_AI on your server, or else the AI will no longer be fun.
-
It'd be nice to have a free server (no mods not OA) for people who are cool like me, and then another server for OA + whatever mods.
-
I say yes, yes, and more yes, i love arma 2, its my favorite military tactical shooter.... and you must do OA for at least one of the servers because takistan is awesome and i hate chernarus... plus all the good stuff is OA
But yes, this must happen
-
I wouldn't mind getting back into ArmA so it's a big yes from me ^_^
-
I got arma 2 and all the stuff for it during the Christmas sale on steam not too long ago, i dont know what the hell im doing but still enjoyable. If you guys could teach me more about arma that be great-too lazy to do tutorials lol. I would like a arma 2 serv tho!
-
It would be fun if you guys had a serious server like United-operations because i play with them a lot and they play very realistic. however they use ACE2 and ACRE
-
Arma2 is a simulator right? I'm in!
-
Arma2 is a simulator right? I'm in!
Yeah, its a military sim
-
Goddamn, I already feel like making my army application for this one.
Amazing gameplay, as I just watched the trailer near the download section.
Hopefully it isn't like that other army simulator were noone plays as a team. I'd like some real teamwork on this one, hell I'd buy a proper mic.
-
Crazy, I can teach you anything you need to know about arma
Martiner, people play as a team all the time, especially me, im usually a pilot for a heli that inserts strike teams behind enemy lines (im a VERY VERY VERY good pilot)
-
Depending on the outcome of this, it will become a proper thing, and when the server isnt used for any operations it will be free to mess around in.
-
I'd rather be it very serious. I don't want to and am able to sign up in the army so I'll just do these sims.
-
Yea i would prefer a serious one, id love that
-
/me is thrilled
Ooooooooh, I'm likin' dah votes. Keep it goin' people.
-
I think me and smt steam-rped this one before.
BIG FISH TO LITTLE BEAVER WE'VE GOT A CLEAR VIEW OF THE TARGET OVER
etc.
Anyway. Make me a squad leader. We'll be anti-tank support. We'll be the tools who run around behind you firing RPGs over your shoulder and then bitch when you can't protect us.
-
Roger that, captain fishy
-
/me raises hand
Question.
How should we handle this as a small team, smt and fishy that are just randomly blowing heads and one pilot without a co-pilot to assist?

-
What i'm planning is that I'll start with just one squad, and then as we get more people(hopefully) then i will expand it and bring in more specialized squads etc.
-
im a good helicopter pilot in arma2, i like being support and dropping off / evacing / providing support, i think it won't be too organized though
-
Im extremely good at tactics on-foot, and being an organized pilot for plane or helicopter
-
I do enjoy going in at night with NVGs and silenced weapons, shit's fun
-
hello my name is lt. fishy im with the united catalyst army.

hello
-
URGENT
BLT make a squad now, give it a catchy name.
-
does this mean ARMA 2 roleplay, rickroller has died.
-
its not roleplay, it's just organized
-
does this mean ARMA 2 roleplay, rickroller has died.
Yes, in GMod. Arma2 roleplay.
No silly, a dedicated (serious)Arma2 server.
-
This is an epic Idea.
I love arma 2 just that I never played online much because I never got into a good group. If we do get one thought it should be organized.
If being put into a squad I would prefer basic infantrymen. Going up first with a group of people good for me. One thing, never ever put me in charge of anything air vehical, I can guarantee you I will crash, I suck at flying things.
There should be mods thought , ace and zeus AI are pretty good (as mentioned before)
-
GUYS! Did you ever here of City Life RPG, that is ARMA 2's roleplay. Not in gmod. Im not a idiot. The ARMA engine is better for roleplay.
-
Though that is epic, seeing as I was part of the 42nd Air Division clan of ArmA2 as a mixed helicopter pilot and artillery coordinator I can understand why everyone would want it to be a serious server and such with realism mods.
The problem is ACE2 itself is a heavy mod that is pretty big, and takes forever to download not to mention it isn't the easiest piece to install. Not to mention, this is a gaming community, as you can observe in other servers it would be next to impossible to establish a completely serious gaming server without the classical noob or silly player running about and ruining the game.
Such servers and Operations require very dedicated united and organized clans, something communities will never have. I'm not saying CG is a bad community, it is superb. But, the matter of the fact is, it just is to big and to popular to succeed in realism.
Thus, the gamemodes would have to be Domination or Warfare, which are created for mass amounts of players and not to mention are pretty fun anyways!
-
I can't possibly agree more with the above post. No offence to anybody at CG, but I really doubt anybody here is cut out for a serious, tactical unit.
Warfare, domination, zargabad life or insurgency etc would be far more suitable, on vanilla combined ops.
I am cutout for it. Ask Jigger and others, they know I take OCRP seriously. I also used to be in ARMA 2 Roleplay Cop. I do tatical raids, just that no cops cooperates.

This is may simply be an assumption, but OCRP doesn't seem to be remotely near the "seriousness level" of Arma 2.
-
ArmA2 requires a real dedication and seriousness in what your doing not mention hours, yes I said hours, of training in specifications just to complete them properly.
Domination is not a realism or intense strategy mode, it is a mild have fun and shoot stuff sort of mode. If anyone would like to discuss this with me, come well armed. Also, remember I have over 100 hours in ArmA2 serious clan matches.

Dont you know. Im the only serious cop on ocrp. EDIT: I play domination. I like Zargabard the best. I usually play medic.
-
If we did get an a2 server, I wouldn't put any form of chernarus life on it. It sucks fat dick.

Seemingly the petition is winning, start making the squad.xml. Lt. Bacon (c wat i did thar)

For the record, Domination does not count as a tactical gaming mode and your map preference doesn't matter at all. Zargabad is the most fast paced and MW2 like one though, hmmmmm. I think what Hoplite has been trying to inform you of is that your making a fool of yourself. - Sincerely Kassendraw 42nd Artillary Commander (56 hours of serious matches)
On another note if you need different game modes or maps for any tactical situations I am quite proficient in level developing, this includes scripting. This will be, interesting to say the least..

If your glad to help then you can, i don't mind.
Yeah, i'll start making some things if rofl decides to do this. It will be based on a recent book i read of 16th Air Assault Brigades deployment in afghanistan in 2006. I will start out with easy company of 3 para(possibs a platoon in it) then gradually grow.
-
Is it going to be vs. AI? Or player vs. player?
If it's player versus player I would love for the scenario to involve Russian involvment aiding the Tajikistani military. I'm a big MVD and SU-25 fan :)

Depends upon players.
-
Makes sense, it would be wise to make a poll about it once this goes official.
-
Player vs. AI would work best at this point, seeing as we have a relatively small number of people who want to play.
Also, I suggest we get a few people to sort of take the lead on this, and decide when to have our operation.
-
Fishy, can I be part of your squad, I would like to be the Ammo Carrier/Rear Guard.

Hoplite, Blt and me just successfully engaged in a game of ArmA 2 Combined Operations. It was enjoyable, Hoplite kept on crashing, it may of had been the fact that the map was a full scale battle with numerous AI. Anyways, my map was a success with me and Blt and we nearly completed it, sadly, a AT Fireteam was lucky enough to spot a RPG on the building we were in which caused it to collapse on us.
Anyways, Domination is basically all there is, I wouldn't start drafting squads until we are decided completely about this, and it would have to be much more than just a AT fireteam roster. This is of course, assuming you want a PMC team, you'd need 1 pilot, 1 AT fireteam, 1 security detail that includes SUV drivers and gunners.

Pretty sure we're not using PMC, seeing as we're trying to let everyone join us.
-
when you used addons the caracter dosen't have, they get it, just they addon's armor and sutff is blurry, but not the weapons.
-
If you dont have the same addons as the server or other addons the server doesnt have (excluding a very small amount of mods) then you will not be able to connect to the server
-
I personally prefer player against player, especially in serious tactical operations, but AI is also extremely fun also
BTW will the server be on takistan? i love that map..... chernarus..... not so much
-
I would perfer player vs AI the best.
It should be arma 2 combined ops because there is very little people I know who own arma 2 and not OA.
If there would be a mod to get I think it should be ace. Ace ofers a lot of stuff I find it to make the game funner. If we do get ace thought, we should get only the stable versions that come out and you just place in your addons folder like any other mod.
I don't have PMC or british forces but I can still playplay if you use them (just with graphics on low)
Sadly I agree with everyone else saying that we are not serious enough to most missions but warfare might be good.
-
They may say we aint, but we will damn well try. Determination>opinions
-
I think warfare would be best....In the end warfare is the best game mode to keep everyone happy. It involves Player vs. AI and Player vs. Player, unit buying, unit commanding, choosing of weaponry, freedom of choosing tactics and such etc...
The big thing with warfare is the freedom of choosing what and how you want to do any and everything. That's why it's a good mode.
-
We're going in circles here, so let's agree that we all want to do ArmA 2.
Can we all agree that regular ArmA 2 would be best so we can get the most people involved? That way the F2P people can join us too.
-
vanilla arma2 is pretty suckish. CO with ACE2 and one or two other mods is the best way.
-
That means we'll severely limit the number off people who CAN play. Even if we begin on vanilla, and later upgrade to CO, at least that way everyone can experience what it'll be like and decide if they want to pick up the full game.
-
True. If rofl decides to ill do that.
-
But Hoplite, it'll probably just be people from CG anyway. I think we should at least do 1-2 operations in Vanilla just so everyone can get a taste for it. After that, if we move up to Combined Ops, everyone can decide if they enjoyed it enough to actually purchase the game.
-
My new thoughts: CO Public Domination.
-
I personally find the vanilla Arma 2 to be EXTREMELY lacking in content
CO would be the best
-
Arma 2 server :D
-
Rofl is unsure on this, but he then said something else. Defo a bf3 server. And bf3 is gunna rock so, what you huys say on a bf3 realism unit?
-
Alright guys can you stop spreading testosterone everywhere? Thank you. The point is, vanilla ArmA2 is pretty suckish, yes, most people who have ArmA2 probably have OA as well. CO is the most played...Now...If not everyone has Vanilla it's just as easy to do a few vanilla operations and move up, nobody said you can't. There is the matter of fact that, well, CO is the best way to go. If more people have vanilla then stick with vanilla, if more people have CO, then go CO. Is this really that hard?
This really is going in circles, hm.......
-
Well, thats not completely true. I am a clan member of the VBAU. Virtual British Assualt Unit, they are the most tatical clan in almost all of ARMA 2. No domination, we do Counter-Insurgency. Counter-Insurgency is harder where you deal with hostage situations and stoping bombing. No "blow the hell out of it" shit. Anyways, to get to the point, everyone that has ARMA 2 usually has Combined Operations bcause its almost the same price as just buying one of the ARMAs. Also, if I had to choose a addon, I would choose British Armed Forces. We can also get Improved AI as a free mod, newcomers don't need to install it its a script, where they do suppresing fire, hold hostages, take cover, and can do everything we can do.
-
Yes Hoplite... ;-; Indeed.... ;-; Indeed...
Alright lets start by saying you don't mean advanced AI the mod you are reffering to is Zeus_AI which I had previously mentioned in one of my own posts. I also mentioned the facts of introducing certain mods that worked and improved the game quality without forcing any users to have to download and install any additional items. In other words all you've stated was a fact about yourself and rewritten what I said previously.
Could we stop walking in circles now?
-
Rofl is unsure on this
I really would like to see this happening.
I've been addicted so much the past couple of days I pressed Alt to look around...
