Levi Stephens 11 Posted February 10, 2011 Hello! I am surely new here, I specifically built a new gaming rig just to play ARMA II! I finally got to play it myself and I'm blown away! The scope of this game is insane! In the same respect I am lost, and I understand that ARMA has a great community and I need help from you guys! I am slowly starting the campaign I have combined ops but I'm starting from ARMA II. What I need help with: Multiplayer - I find it hard to join games & there isn't many games in the standard multiplayer menu is there a 3rd party app to join games.. Gamespy arcade, steam, etc.. Co-op- I want to play with big teams on realistic missions maybe point me in the direction of people who do this regularly.. Mods- The most common ones needed to play? Editing - general editing tips and or links to good guides... PC Specs: AMD Phenom II x 6 1090T BE ASUS M4A88T M/USB3 4 Gigs G. Skill Ripjaw series 2x 32gb Corsair SSD RAID0 ATI HD Radeon 6850 1gb DDR5 BE Thank you guys so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted February 10, 2011 Welcome :) My own recommendation is to try playing the game without mods for a while, to get a good feel to how ArmA2 as a game acts. From there, you will have a better idea of the areas you wish to be improved, and mod recommendation is as individual and unique as the people playing, and the PCs on which the game is played. Editing - there is a great editing guide available for download, which I cannot remember the name of right now... (will update this post when I do) and of course there are BIS' own tutorials. But the best advice is to just fiddle and experiment... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
concurssi 11 Posted February 10, 2011 Multiplayer - I find it hard to join games & there isn't many games in the standard multiplayer menu is there a 3rd party app to join games.. Gamespy arcade, steam, etc.. Do you have only armA 2 or do you have Operation Arrowhead and/or combined ops? Most servers are either OA or CO. Co-op- I want to play with big teams on realistic missions maybe point me in the direction of people who do this regularly.. What timezone are you in?
