Should be on from 7.30 :D
I'll be there. :)
Lots of Dad's taxi work tonight so might not make it :sad:
I'm being forced to go to the pub tonight, so I can't join you.
I know, it's a hard life..

You need to sort out your priorities mate... :eyebrow: :narnar:
I'll be there...
I really want to do Behind Enemy Lines, but it's very tough and once you're dead...that's it.
Sorry boys not going to make it tonight, and wont be online game wise till 29th. :sad:

Hmm haven't tried that one. Maybe I could have a poke and see if we can add a respawn script?
don't think i've tried it either
is that posible? if so it sounds lika plan :)
patch 1.05 has been released...
//www.armaholic.com
Looks like the server is nadgered.....what a day to release a patch. :doh:
server is still running 1.04 and my steam copy hadn't updated so all was well...
well untill it switch ports again :doh:
Was good to see you on the server spikey :)
Installing the update on the servers now..
If we've bought it through steam does it auto-update?
Apparently not, you need to go to www.arma2.com (http://www.arma2.com) and download patch 1.5.
See you soon...
Quote from: Benny;300292See you soon...
:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: I don't know if you could see how many time I tried to join but I gave up after 5 or 6 goes. :ranting2::ranting2::ranting2:
EDIT: Like a fool I gave it one last try. It gets to a loading screen the dumps me back to the aircraft carrier start screen.
It's coding was done by the people who did L4D I'm sure of it.
Ron, can you dish out your Steam friends thingys, we could see you but no-one has you on chat anywhere so we couldn't help...

I don't run Steam unless by accident. I was on TS, I thought you used that.
A very good point.....the in game comms has been ok recently.
Sorry it's been such a pita for you. I'll PM you my contact stuff and if you get stuck again or I see you joining repeatedly I'll jump into TS.
I managed to join another server with no problems. Mission files were downloaded, which I wasn't getting on ours. :g:
Well we had both flavours connecting to the server, DVD owners and Steam owners.
Here's a question, did you install the "BattleEye" software it prompted you about in the patch (well the DVD patch anyway), if not then that's what's kicking you off. It's an anti-cheat software thingy like 'Punk Buster'.

And the answer is no. :) I ran the patch again but it stopped at 'you're already updated, dickhead' stage. A little Googling led me to find out you can access the BattlEye.exe by extracting the files from the 1.0.5.exe (that's the only way to install it btw)
I could waffle on for several pages but the end result is I got on the server. :rolleyes: See ya on there.
ok....for the next trick. If you are seeing vsync issues...possibly one of these?

sounds a bit much though. I'll keep looking
Sorry I dropped out but I couldn't respawn after being injured. Instead it was making me wait 500 seconds. I left, rejoined and it did it again as soon as I was shot :sideways:
(psst...server died)
it's libs fault.
I was flying the chopper so hard that when I crashed I took out the entire server. :flirty:

If it was Hijack, you only get a limited amount of respawns. After that you are a spectator even if you reconnect.

If you run out of lives it's because your team is not doing their job with revives. So I don't see a problem:flirty:

Good choice that man, good choice.
Move and cover, let's not tell anyone who hasn't played it about the secret snipers, then they can watch us play throw the remainder from the eyes of a corpse ;)
And I believe that Sn00ks will be around now he's received a new disposable Seagate.

Good games tonight :)
Sorry I didn't make it, I took two non-drowsy hayfever tablets at 6pm, sat down to wait for them to kick in and slept straight through till 10pm. If anyone fancies some "unofficial" games this week let me know.
Sorry Boys not going to make it tonight, so good luck getting that heli to Land OB ;)
'Arresting the commander' is the new 'getting the helicopter to land'.
Last nights attempt.....sneak, peek, growl, prowl.....kill his aides. He then surrenders unconditionally ready to be evac'd. Then he shoots Tut in the leg.
Comedy genius,
'I surrender'
'oh goody, I'll lower my weapon'
'bang bang, sucker'
'no fair, you said you surrendered'
'ha ha ha ha, bang again, walk now legless oppressor'
'I can't walk, but I can still shoot'
'...'
mission failed, commander killed.
(it wasn't me this time)
He shot my kneecap off - I was understandably livid.
Surely you mean lying on the floor rolling in agony with the rest of the team crying with laughter?
It Tuesday marines so it Arma night hope to get a few on. Unfortunately I can't make it tonight but have fun and remember get everyone to the evac !!!!
I'll be on tonight, spamming a belt-fed weapon no doubt.
I should be on about 8. I think a complete play through of Strike Oil is required.
Quote from: Benny;310950I should be on about 8. I think a complete play through of Strike Oil is required.
My favourite mission? I can read you like a book, Benjamin.
lol, not quite. I think we keep screwing it up and we need to complete it....and yes there may be a hint of lure in there.
We can play Hijack as well and make Tut carry the tent. That'll be the end of that, then we can finish with R&R. ;)
Good games tonight. Close with Strike Oil, but not close enough. Nice approach and initial town problems cleared except for one fella catching a bus, then whilst I was on the phone....we suddenly got surrounded and summarily executed. gg's though.
Advantage Law turned into a bloodbath again. We need a new tactic.
Good to hear this game is still very challenging. And I see we had a good turn out hope some of them were people new to the game.
Bugger. Tuesday's I can't do. Anyone else playing on Thursday :)
Guys..
I tried playing single player last night and to be honest I'm lost.. I'm all patched up now and I'm assuming that maps will download from the server?
If anyone's around, I'd love a proper intro to the game around 8pm. I'll hang out in TS.
NF
Hey Ninja just grab one of us and we can give you the need to know for multiplayer a good base to work from. I am not around to night but I am sure one us will be!
The Singleplayer is riddled with bugs, and probably not the best introduction to ARMA.
Like Toby says, grab an ARMA admin next time one of us is on and we'll show you the ropes :)
GG's tonight fellas. Thanks for helping me get setup and running. WAY better than SP.. :)
It's Tuesday so hope to see you all on the server, I will be on from 19:30 onwards looking forward to it.
Two mission completed in one night well done lads!!!
It's that time again when we lose our friends, go walk about and get our brains blown out. So see you on the server for more exciting adventures of ARMA team.
Dust off 19:30!!!!
It Tuesday time to team up and do it right, or as much as possible with out leaving bodybags and the all. Slightly later kick off tonight if you dont mind 19:45 as running a Boot Camp till then.
Thanks and see you there!!!!!
Game on!!!!!!
Alright gents we are at defcon 1 be on the flight deck suited and booted, cocked, locked and ready to rock in 30mins marines.
That 19:30 soldier
It Tuesday and it time to Arm up and kick butt. I will be on from 19:30 unless some asked for a boot camp.
It Tuesday again already!!!! Right kick off about 19:30 I will be on from then.
on nights soz
I'll be around tonight for some commie-bashing.
Quote from: Tutonic;313400I'll be around tonight for some commie-bashing.

Where are you this is no day care centre, All on the parade ground now !!!! Move it! Move it! Move it! Last one on has to sing a orginal cadence
It that day again boys I will be on from 7.30
I don't know what I've been told,
one of our soldiers is really old,
I'm no doc, but it's been said,
That captain penfold can heal you with lead..
sound off 1,2
sound off 3,4
1,2
3,4
at 8pm I'll knock on the door
It's Tuesday so get locked, cocked and ready to rock!!! Be on about 19:45
It that day again but this time it is different it dMw first offical PVP Tuesday!!!! woohooo yaaaay etc.
So be on the server from about 19:45 and we shall get to killing each other happly.
Just a few ground rules guys, use your coms this is not a frag festival. Work together and take those points.
Get on the ready line marines!
Riding tonight, will be back around 9pm...
It's Tuesday so hope you are ready for the big push, I will be on about 7:30 could do with some help for a project once on the server.
Dependent on the weather I'll be there. For your project you need a map that you 'crow' on. How about AmmoHarbour for a day map, and silent whatever for the night one, I'm thinking muzzle flashes.
It Tuesday and it Arma 2 night again :) hope we are already and willing. See you on there from 7:30 ish
Installing now gonna give it a try,be kind to me ingame;)
KKND make sure you are patched to 1.07 and if you can get it installed I really suggest getting the Digital compass installed.
http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=1&cat=addons&id=1099 (http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=1&cat=addons&id=1099)
If you want I can open up the server at 7:15 till 7:45 and I can run you though our boot camp. Let me know :)
It makes the game learning curve much easier, but no worries we will look after you tonight whatever happens. Dont hesitate to shout if having problems or questions.
hope it doesn't sound too scary it a lot of fun mate I promise.

Im dl the game atm hope its done on time,if not i join next week and thnx for the offer.
No probs mate, we usually have a couple of people on there server each day. So jump on and the admins will help you. I mainly run the boot camps on Sunday and Tuesday before the games kick off. So just sign up if you want.
Hope to see you on the server soon mate.
Who's playing tonight? Will we actually blow up that SCUD launcher? Will Lib manage to make a more offensive joke than the one he pulled off last night?
Where you playing OA last night? should I be worried about that joke?
Quote from: Tutonic;315347Who's playing tonight? Will we actually blow up that SCUD launcher? Will Lib manage to make a more offensive joke than the one he pulled off last night?

Updating to 107 now so i think im there on time.:)
Well it Tuesday again so dust off those boots and your rifles. I think it might be straight Arma 2 tonight as OA is having issues.
I won't be on sorry. So the server will be left in the hands of an admin.
Right you lot it Tuesday and it Arma 2 night get on the TS and get in the game theres a killing to be done.
I may sneak on later :)
It Tuesday and you know what that means time kit up and clear out the enemy. Dust off around 7:45
It Tuesday so tool up and get ready see you on the server.
It's Tuesdays guys so come on down the desert is waiting for blood and it only seems sensible for use oblige it.
Tuesday I hear you say well tickle me, let suit up and jump out. See you on the server.
I've just bought OA and have run through the training missions etc. Do I need to download any maps? Also what's the easiest way to get onto the server, HLSW, in game server admin ???
Welcome mate, right first off use the in game server browser click remote and stick the server info in.
Maps will be downloaded when we join the game. Be on TS I will be on 19:30 and we do a quick run through any questions.
If you can try getting the digital compas running. Check out sticky post above.
Quote from: smilodon;318073I've just bought OA and have run through the training missions etc. Do I need to download any maps? Also what's the easiest way to get onto the server, HLSW, in game server admin ???
Great stuff:D
Probably your best bet is to get on TS and ask for the IP and type it in the "remote" box;
It'll be saved there for your next time on the server.
I find this the quickest way in:)
Cheers, it's far removed from the early days of Arma2. No crashes or bugs and I manager to stay alive as well. Thanks for the help lads I'll certainly be back for more.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
This man is a machine, installed patched, Digital compass installed and working first time and didnt' die on a mission. He is the chosen one!! Welcome Smilodon :)
He didn't die on his first mission? What the hell were you guys playing at?
I am very dissapointed.
Which mission was it? The 'stay in the base and drink tea' one?
Didnt say first mission, but didnt die on Pink floyd
Actually we did three missions. The first was to find some cars and escape from a town. I and Toby both got shot in the first few minutes so we dumped that map for a better (easier) one. The second map was a 'clear out the Taliban mission' and I was told to say behind Oldie, which I did. As a consequence he got shot first and I was able to run away and hide. On the second mission which was to clear an airfield of helicopters I was a medic. However not only did I not die, nor did anyone else. So that was no great achievement by me. I never even managed to get my sticky plasters out or anything.
QuoteThe second map was a 'clear out the Taliban mission' and I was told to say behind Oldie, which I did. As a consequence he got shot first and I was able to run away and hide.
Perfect technique. You would get bonus points, however, if you pretended to be dead whilst hiding to deter team-mates from bugging you for help.
It Time to step up or bug out. See you on the server around 19:45!
Leave me here you go on, you must complete the mission. Unfortunately my machine is playing up and has been since Sunday so I wont be around to play tonight.
I'll do my best to be on tonight 7.30 ish I guess
Ussualy 1 or 2 of us around there most ppl turn up at 7:45 ish.
It's the yids in the Champions League tonight so I'm drawn between the two.....depends if Oldie fixed my mission yet :)
I intend to edit it anyway and add some more width, maybe remove some of the ambient life to improve the frame rates
Damn, people came round and we ended up watching a movie. Who'd have a social life..... arse!
I will definatly be on tonight.
...well if I get away from work
... And if my connection holds up
..Actaully I might not be on
Woo hoo thats 2 of us, Hope we can a few more but think that Black opps might be taking a few. But I will be online from 7:30!
Finally it´s Tuesday! :)
see you on tonight. i´ll bring my A game.
do we have a scenario that can have 10+ players playing at the same time?
Darkeness we do have but we find that trying to lead and run one is very difficult. So we are trailing the 2 servers at the moment. I am not around tonight so you can ask the other admins.
ooh, alright.
see you Sunday then!
Right it Tuesdays and by the looks of it you lot have already been giving the baddies a hard time. Great work. Well Load Up and Lock on lads I wont be there as on HQ training "How to use men as cannon fodder 102"
Is anyone coming on tonight we are currently running on no body
Quote from: Khrispykhicken;320248Is anyone coming on tonight we are currently running on no body
Be on soon. Start with or without me. I'm easy :)
Sorry, in Newcastle on a really bad 3G connection.
8pm kick off people I am sure it will be cypher or a new one who know we shall have to see!!!
new one can fit more players....... and its fun
Quote from: sulky_uk;320687new one can fit more players....... and its fun
Unfortunately it also requires people to learn the squad control features, which would possibly be a nightmare on a Tuesday night run with so many of us.
Perhaps we need to drag people onto the second server to learn it whilst using the main server for games. But as tonight is one of the main nights, we'll have to play by ear.
Prove me wrong everyone, because I quite like the new maps.
I should be there tonight at 8 if I can get this documentation done in time.
I am happy to go to the "crèche" server to learn more about controlling large squads as I am still new to ARMA.
Looking forward to tonight =).
DZ
thank you for they mission yesterday. dident really get it.
however i have alot of school do to, thats why i havent been so active for the past few weeks.
Yeah it is a bit sprawling, I think we need to tighten it up as we, had so many people making thier own plans and no real direction. But saying that some nice communication between you all and it is a good way to start learning the command structure.
Hope school is not too hectic mate good luck with it.
Hey Gents, this evening I believe Dom will be played again and we have been discussing it in the officers mess. It seems to be popular and with some tweaking it will be even better I am sure. So thanks for the feedback.
So the lay out tonight .....
There will be one supreme commander and his word is gods :)
There are some ideas with the coms that are going to be tried out tonight, so that we can get control of this wild beast of a map. So have fun but keep the chatter to a gentle breeze as if it isnt, you are likely to be told radio quiet. Just remember it isnt the leader being mean to you it just so we can complete the mission and the person running it needs to be heard.
I am not in attendance this evening so leaving you in the hands of admins :)
Enjoy it and let me know how it went.
Yep I will be pop'ing on tonight should be fun Domination was a instant fav with me carnt wait till we get it perfect or "dMw" perfect :D see you guys on there!
Get on the server with you badself lets kick some bad guy but, Tooled up and fueled up Helo dust of 20:00 :)
Great game last night chaps, one we had air supremacy we really kicked some arse (including our own, eh Lib?).
Quote from: Tutonic;322076Great game last night chaps, one we had air supremacy we really kicked some arse (including our own, eh Lib?).
In the absence of Sulky, some TK'ing on a bombing run needed to be performed.
Also Benny said something about photo-shopping a screenshot to make it look like he'd not died those 13 times.
Agreed, great games and the coms is really coming on, still a few things to work on but overall really good. And we managed to take the first area quite quickly thanks to Libs Apache runs :) and some great squad work from us grunts.

I thought you role-played your USAF character to perfection.
So, brace yourselves...
I was tentative about joining last night, I've made no secret of the fact I don't like large numbers on the server, however I finished what I was working on and jumped on.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, teamwork was superb, squad leading from Toby was exceptional and everyone did as asked. Cover from Davel, air cover and spotting from Liberace, everyone else advancing in waves and two towns cleared. Very well done and very enjoyable. Did anyone mention that I didn't lose a life one?
I may drop the respawns to 2 in future :) those that die can go onto the second server which is there for you juniors, I'll be on the main server, alive on my own ;)
Sorry i missed this one due to work commitments, it sounded like fun anyone got a screen shot or video of the action.
Hey guys it is Tuesday so get on the server and have a blast. I wont be in attendance, well I might be very late, but doubt it.
Right since Myself and the admin team have been on R and R for the weekend we better get back in to it!!! I will be around from 7:30 with the view of doing a boot camp. Mission dust off at 8pm
Guess what............ :boxing:
I'll be around from 7.30, and available to mock...... help any of the new guys.
Quote from: Tutonic;322712I'll be around from 7.30, and available to mock...... help any of the new guys.
If I can motivate myself to get my fat lardy butt out for a quick blast on the bike then I may not be on until late.
If it's raining then I should be there at 8-ish.
I can't play, will be waiting for Operation Airhead for quite a while yet. Plus I'd have to ask nicely at home. And that's difficult as I asked to work at football on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Yer I wont be about for tonight as got Job / Exam interview tmw and need to brush up on skills.... (yes I do have some)
Rats! I have to go out so now Arma for me. How long till Sunday ....
Thanks for everyone's help guys tonight, really enjoyed it!, enjoyed it more when i realised i needed to calibrate my scope in order to actually hit an enemy target :blink:
Glad you enjoyed it mate hope to see you back again soon.

...now get your arse back to BO where you belong:narnar:
anyone around for a game tonight?
What!? On a Wednesday? Are you insane Sir?!? OK I'll be on about eight I guess
Right I wont be around till late tonight or v late tonight, so kick off at 8pm as it is Tuesday no problems with locking down the server for dmw only. I am sure if you can coax a admin away from portal 2 they might even help out:)
In Birmingham today but plan to be home about 9pm so I might catch the last hour it two.
Sent from my Mobile.
ok so its thursday not Tuesday but does anyone fancy a game tonight? not here over the weekend so wanted a fix tonight :)
Was on for a while but you were in BC2. Sorry to duck out just as you arrived but I have to go pick up 'She who must be obeyed'..... either from the pub or a police cell depending on how her after work drinks went.
It Tuesday and it dMw night so all on the domination for a push see where we can get to by the end of the night. Kick off I think about 7:45 - 8ish
A nice shot of our tank hunting escapades from last night (click for full size):

I love the smell of burning T-34 in the morning.....
Nice pick. What worries me is that before I logged out last night I felt compelled to move the Chinook, MVQ, Supply truck and FARP to the new target town ready for the next attack. I think I'm loosing the plot.....
Really really enjoyed tonight guys, finally got my graphics sorted :) Cheers Toby for helping to sort my graphics settings out. You were right Benny it was the post process thingy.
was funny trying to blow the prototype chopper up, after about 13 rounds of anti tank stuff but got it in the end:

Smilo and myself had a good run in blowing stuff up in the first town but ended up like this:

DZ you get a better screenshot of that chopper blowing up? we were all stood there with like photographers whilst toby blew it up :yahoo:
Yep that chopper was strange. Shame we couldn't fly it out of there.
We managed to do OK with armour last night. It was only right at the end that we lost our tank to a Hind. Small consolation that the damned thing seemed to kill almost everyone.
Hind's are very nasty indeed, and seemingly immune to Stinger missles.
Perhaps we should consider using a couple of Humvees with 50 cals for anti-chopper duty?
Sounds like a plan. Combined with getting stuck in the wilderness we do need to try to keep more vehicles about. What tricked me with that Hind was that it was hovering about on the horizon for ages while we blew the town apart. It didn't do anything so I sort of ignored it. Then as we had almost cleared the town it flew in and creamed us with missiles and rockets. Very nasty.
This sounds fun, but I've got a play-off semi final tonight to commentate on. One day, maybe.
It Tuesday on the private server if you wish, I wont be there but have fun and play nice :)
sorry i havent been around, been on holiday for a week, am now in Liphook (Hampshire) til Monday night (far too close to Toby for my liking :P)

Great game tonight :), sorry about my mishap with the left ctrl button! and sorry if i sounded miffed, i just couldnt see the point in having the option to just move your head and not your gun, god knows how that happened. Thanks guys for helping me out with that :)
Great stuff guys. Really enjoyable session. I'll be back for a lot more of that :)
You play the game the way I want to play it. Thanks for having me :thumbsup:
Agreed was a great night lots of fun and some intense battles.
Moose glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again.
Sparko no worries that why we are here.
I keep promising myself I'll do OA but I always get knobbled for summat (a game of darts in the pub tonight)
I'll try to join next time :P
Edit: I lost btw, playing Half-it with penalty numbers.
You have been missed mate hope to see you soon chief
Some good town battles tonight, enjoyed that... good games gents, welcome Moose, you're welcome Sparko and welcome back Blunt :)
Agreed that was some decent CQB last night with lots of action,well led by Tobi hats off to you sir as it can be a pain in the ass,how did the large scoped members get on when they entered the town?
Whats the criteria for the spawning of the enemy to stop? an area being entered i guess ? I did think the enemy where too accurate compared to human players though,im not saying they where to smart as that scale was fine with there flanking and use of explosives, just the one round from 300 meters to the head couldnt be humanly done by ak47 at those ranges.
Im sure this is a PITA as each enemy ai unit has to be individually altered unless they can be group configured at spawn Benny?
As mentioned in another thread I think we might have the spawn rate set to 'high' rather than 'normal'. Benny may correct me but I think the enemy AI is on a sliding scale. Individual AI can be adjusted but also (I stand to be corrected) the overall skill of the enemy can be changed with a single adjustment.
However i think we're pretty close to the best balance. I think we're all coming to enjoy the extra hard encounters the best and so while barnyard might be a little OTT I'd hate to see it completely softened up.
Thanks it was great fun I like the ai on nails well played all.
It seemed to me (with my limited experience) that the skill level of the AI wasn't to harsh.. I like a tough opponent, it's just not rewarding if you can steamroller through a map. There did seem to be a hell of a lot of them though for the amount of players we had (what was it, 10 or so on our side?)
It felt like we could have been fighting our way through that city for another couple of hours at least.
Still, I'm far to inexperienced with these maps and online ArmA in general for my opinion to count for anything yet :)
It certainly is pretty intense though.
Quick question.. do you guys only play on Tuesdays and Sundays? I need more ArmA! 2 days a week isn't going to to satisfy my rapidly approaching addiction :D
My brother is also interested in joining in sometime. Ok if I just drag him into TS one night?
The official nights are Sun and Tues, but usually some kicking around on the other nights.
Your bro is more than welcome just get him to sign up to the forums and he can get all the server info from there.
Moose,
Friday is becoming an unofficial ArmA 2 night. As a community we try to promote a different game on a different night, so for example we don't have an official ArmA night on the same day as an official CoD:BO night (Monday) or Racing (Thursday). World of Warcraft is different as they're all addicts and play 24/7 :)
Friday is officially Battlefield BC2 night and so we don't try to compete with them or try to get BC2 players to defect to us on a Friday. However obviously some of the community don't play both games and so for those players there is no conflict. If you don't play BC2 on a Friday and if there's no action down the pub you'll probably find something ArmA-ish going on.
Also tonight sometimes gets a game as well. I'll probably be practising chopper landings at some point so come watch the my awesome skills and certain horrible death in a pile of burning twisted helicopter wreckage.
Also it would be great to hear more of your thoughts and opinions. A fresh pair of eyes looking at how we play, what maps we try etc is really useful. So don't feel you cannot comment, the worst we'll do is point and laugh and make you ArmA avatar wear a silly hat.... :norty:
OK, cheers Smilo :)
Actually, Chopper training sounds like a very good idea. I'm a long time flight simmer but I've never felt the urge to fly in ArmA for some reason. I really should though, so ill whip out the joystick and get a bit of offline practice in to pick up the basics and join you for some training sometime. You can never have enough qualified pilots right? :D
Don't think I'll be able to make tonight though as I have an England club race in iRacing (Sim Racing is my main hobby)
Hopefully there will be a few around tomorrow evening for a bit of action anyway. I'll be lurking on the server from 7.30ish

Been practising for an hour or so and I'm pretty happy with my flying. I'm used to more complex choppers and physics so it wasn't much of a problem.
..flying them under combat conditions though is a whole different matter :D
Lets see how cocky I am with bullets and missiles headed at me :doh: :roflmao:
I'll pop on the training server after my race tonight if anyone's still about. If not I'll join you for next Thursdays pilot training.
Not going to make tonight sorry gents have fun and it Private night :)
I thought tonight we could try a map I've made called 'Happy Hiking' There are no enemies and we can just go for a nice walk and explore the beautiful countryside and meet interesting local people and learn their culture and customs. What do you think?
So what we used to do in Arma 2 the whole time then :P

Cracking game guys, sorry if my leading was pants, I learnt a lot tonight about the game from it though, that's the first time I have seen someones blood 'smoke' out of them though smilo :P
"This is an outrage!"
I was spewing claret like a hump back whale with a harpoon through it's lung. Nice heal though.
It Tuesday its private server night see you there :)

Good game tonight guys the mission went a lot better once we investigated the red marker cross i thought.

That's not a bad idea actually.
Will see what I can do for you my lovely boys said in a deep booming voice
If there is a problem we can leave the 2 server specific channels open or just mute the one of the two server ones just in case?
If not mute all of ARMA then we can always gatecrash another channel if needed.
Get online, scumbags!
Sorry about the early finish but seems several people were having early nights and I was fading fast. To many late nights over the bank holiday.
Good games tonight guys, thought the in game comms worked very well, was no different to using ts to be honest (apart from the quality ofcourse).
It is Tuesday so Private server tonight :)
Should be on as got everything working in no time thanks to the steam trick =P
Sorry to vanish whilst i was bleeding out on the floor.:rolleyes:I think a bullet may of gone a stray and knocked me laptop out :roflmao:
Stopped dead and all the lights went out ,was running hot :rolleyes: rather than come in again i decided to get online and up dated everything on the pc ,just finished :D
Hope to see ya next time and i will try and finish boot camp too:D:D

Hey guys we have a new OP: Code name [h=1]Blood of the War Machine[/h]it has revieves built in so should be great. Please have a bash at it on Tuesday and let me know what you think.
Command out
wow!! how fun was that!, thought we had the mission sorted when we managed to get rid of the first wave, gg's guys the most fun i have had on ARMA in a while :)
Yup, Oldie leaves and the enemy loose their fear completely;-) I don't think I can remember seeing so many little red dots in one town. Epic!
It's Tuesday so get locked and ready to rock. But I have a feeling we will be very low on numbers due to a bunch of toasters.
Hope to see you there :) kick off at 8 ish
im in :-)
It Tuesday anyone around for some arma? 8pm?
damn just seen player list....anyhow cant be there got visitors from the uk, have fun

8pm kick off more barnyard animals tonight we have to get this done clean :)
I'll be there at 8pm with me little box of sticky plasters and bottle of TCP
I should be around but might not be until half 8 9ish :boxing:
Great fun last night a little bit frustrating at the end due to mission but I think we had it on the ropes for most of it. Really enjoyed the quiet and silent routine :)
Couldn't get much quieter than Krispy, he spent most of his time being very still, quiet and dead. Patience like that deserves a medal. Also loved the sneaky tactics, we should definitely try that again.

Likewise
Tanks!
I had a chat with Toby a few nights ago and thought about trying to run a mission, maybe Barnyard with a tank and crew if we have enough players on one night. The idea would be to crew a tank but to have enough infantry support (and anti air) that we could keep the damn thing on it's feet long enough to make it useful. We always seem to loose our tanks quite fast and I'm wondering if we could add a slant to the mission by making it priority to keep the tank safe as we move through the mission. I'm not actually sure how that would work. Maybe using a sniper or two in advance to spot anti tank enemies and then several infantry to work in support with at least one Anti Air guy might work. The only thing is we would need a healthy number of people. Two in the tank, a sniper and three infantry would be minimum? Another take on the idea might be to use an Apache and work to keep that airborne. I believe it's all about hiding behind hills and terrain and just popping it up to take down armour as needed, keep it out of the way until we spot tanks etc and then use it to hit them from range and quickly hide again.
I'm sure we will fail completely but it might be a laugh to try.
This sounds great alas I will not be able to make it as the Valentines day and no amount of Armoured Tank division we save me if I suggest me playing games :)
im up for next tuesday
