lots of players?

[magoozle 10]

Hi folks, i own arma 2 and really enjoy the game, however the lack of people playing online always spoiled it for me.

In a game that required many ppl for logistics etc it was crap lol

Hows the online playerbase for arrowhead? if its better ill buy it otherwise i guess i wont bother :(

cheers

I would say it is better probably because many who played ArmA 2 went for OA. The multiplayer seems to be mainly Warfare, Advance & Secure, and Hold with the occasionals who setup events. As a whole I think the community has slowed to a lull, but you do get the occasional servers that fill up 32+.

I personally like to find a buddy when I game and try to work together on AAS or HOLD. Way more fun than going solo. As far as the community I think it is still quite active. Sure there will be the occasionals who opt for MW, MOH, but in the end many still find the tried and true ARMA 2 OA!!!

Would suggest to get OA aswell :) There are a lot of servers for CO (combined) whitch support both A2 and OA or CO. As Tom says Warfare is probably the easiest game mod to just join and play and a lot of communities hosts this mission for that reason, and hey...it is a very good mission to play even if you dont know the people you are playing with on the server. We allso found Insurgency to be a great mission (even if it has some bugs) for teamplay. This mission is more BF2-PR like and is based on teamplay to complete tasks, and its great for just joining in and having some fun. If your in EU - pls search and join, your more than welcome at the the TV2 servers.

It is not much better in OA if better at all, there's enough people to play online and have fun but you can't compare it to the mainstream shooters where filled 32/64 people servers is every days news.

THIS shows server statistics. (All versions)

I'm sure there are more people playing OA

If you want REALLY good online gaming then you have to join a clan.

Looks just like it did in ArmA 2.

ArmA2/OA attracts a more mature crowd so on weekdays you usually won't see that many filled servers, in the weekends it get's better though.

But as mentioned above join a team, a squad, a clan or whatever people wanna call it if you really wanna experience what ArmA2/OA has to offer.

Yes there is a DVD version of OA. However most stores have Combined Operations (At least in North America).

CO comes with 2 DVD's and 2 Manuals for each game which can be installed by themselves or together which makes them Combined Operations.
