Hey! I know we mostly do adventure games here, but I was thinking I throw this in here to.
So we are bunch of weekend warriors that like to get together on weekends and play some Arma 2. We do tactical coop games, but nothing too serious. We like to have fun, but doing it "right".
So if there are any Arma 2 players here, check out our steamgroup at: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Arma2coopweekend
We play Arma 2 Combined ops, Saturdays and sundays usually at 18:00 gmt+2. Check the steam group for more info.
You don't have to have steam version of the game in order to join our games.
Jump right in and bring your friends! (since our large scale missions really need more troops!)
I haven't played ArmA 2 for a while, and I was never any good at it, but I do enjoy it (even though I spend most of my time getting shot to pieces and shaking my fist at the screen).
Definitely re-downloading A2 + OA and joining the group!
Do you use any mods? I've never played with ACE/ACRE, so I've got no idea how to set them up or use them.
We don't usually use mods since they tend to cause more lag and desync. So just original Arma 2 CO, patched to the latest official patch (no beta).
There are threads and posts on the steam group's page about the games and schedules.
Most of the missions are made by somebody on the group. Players are usually split into 2-3 groups. So following the group leader's orders is important so everybody stays alive and to complete the missions :)
Next saturday, 18:00 gmt+2 we are doing i44!
So be sure you get the latest version of the mod Invasion 44. Easiest way to do that is to use the Play WithSix application!

Really looking forward to this weekends game - I've wanted to play i44 for ages (after seeing ShackTac videos of it)!
Glad to hear it :)
See you there!
In was about to get ARMA II in the Steam Winter Sales, but I didn't. Now I regret it.
I'm playing Planetside 2 a lot lately, it's not like ARMA but it's really fun most of the time.
Again, calling all troops!
This saturday, the eyes of the world are upon us. More i44 inbound!

Some footage from last nights game. After we get around the desync in the beginning, we begin our mission of capturing enemy held positions.
