Fornax 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Have done the ARMA 2 campaign "long time ago". Bought Arrowhead and was looking for a long challenging campaign. But after 7(?) missions it was all over!?! It felt extremely short imho. I was really looking for more missions...now it felt like: 1 mission chopper, 1 commander, 1 tank, 1 infantry...finished...ehhh... I would love to have 10 infantry missions, then moving on to a handfull of chopper missions (could be just simple ones - recce, transport missions) etc. What is the point of creating a big wonderful world when we barely see it... Could anyone recommend some downloadable campaigns/missions? What else to do? Mods? Are there any "open" online servers? (Will buy the Private Military and British Armed Forces). Hoping for more;) Fornax (Norway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe98 92 Posted March 15, 2011 The "My Missions" are very good! - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JojoTheSlayer 35 Posted March 15, 2011 I would try some bigger mods with Campaigns. To get a different taste while doing missions. For example: Operation Persian Hammer v1.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muahaha 10 Posted March 16, 2011 You might want to try out Bardosy's campaign. Highly polished and entertaining grunt type campaign. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=109783 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=87392&highlight=chesty+puller http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=98764&highlight=chesty+puller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djczing 10 Posted March 16, 2011 Operation Cobalt is a good campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted March 16, 2011 Just try the campaigns by Bardosy and Operation cobalt should be definately on your list too. Also search for the Seal Team Six campaigns (there are four of them) and Operation Detachment Delta. That should be enough for a veeery long Time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Puma- 2 Posted March 16, 2011 could u guys recommend a good campaign wich runs with OA standalone?? Its annoying to DL a campaign and addons just to realize it needs arma 2 allso :mad::mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted March 16, 2011 Here you have it. But seriously, get Arma 2, you are missing half the stuff http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=109783 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted March 16, 2011 Operation Cobalt is a good campaign. Yeah gotta agree, was great fun playing it especially as you see missions from more than one side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fornax 0 Posted March 16, 2011 I can find some Myke. But nice to get some recommendations. Tnx for the replies, I will check them out. Is there an online community for this game? Open servers? Or just squad-servers? I find it a bit strange they create a big world, but then there are hardly any missions in the world... Can't be that hard to create long campaigns(many missions) when they already have the world, AI etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djczing 10 Posted March 16, 2011 Fornax: I dont understand what you are saying -- a big world but few missions ?? Huh ?? You are obviously not looking in the right places. There are multiple maps, and hundreds if not thousands of missions, an editor, and many user-made tools to make your own mission. Ive been playing this thing for over a year now, and havent run short on missions. If you like a whole-map sandbox type of thing, try a warfare mission (like BE), or one of the BIS warfare missions. Use armaholic.com to search for mods, missions, and maps. Use the forums here to keep up with missions/campaigns/mods, etc, both new and old. Seriously - you can spend 24x7 in arma, and not play all the missions available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fornax 0 Posted March 16, 2011 At work now...so Ill check them out when home. In theArrowhead- campaign there are few missions imho. In most games the campaign is the BIG thing (like Falcon4, Total War, Civ, IL2(ok, online just as importeant) whatever). That is the main reason you(I) buy the game. Single missions are more like: Test and learn situation A, Test situation B. In a campaign you have a storyline, you get introduced to the world, people, vehicles...you get much more involved. For me to have a campaign with just some simple heli transport missions would be great. Just love flying around looking at the beatiful scenery, learning the terrain, learning where my base is by looking at the terrain etc. But a having a single lone transport missions would feel...more boring..or at least not as involving as in a campaign. Therefore I would love to have more and longer campaigns. And I hear now there are some custom made... but I still think the BIS campaign could and should be much longer. (I don't know the quality of the custom made campaigns). Maybe I got a bit disappointed at the Arrowhead campaign - just getting to learn the stuff, getting to know the country, terrain, cities...then it finished. But I check out the Warefare missions.

EDcase 87 Posted March 17, 2011 In Arma the missions and campaign are just training and tasters. With an editor that is so easy to use BIS can concentrate on improving the game. There are hundreds of missions out there. Online can be an even more amazing experience but it can also be ruined easily on public servers. Try it out and then join a gaming group/clan and you will see how great this game can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissionCreep 12 Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) In Arma the missions and campaign are just training and tasters. With an editor that is so easy to use BIS can concentrate on improving the game. There are hundreds of missions out there. Actually, it is safe to say there are thousands. I have over 500 just on my PC ... "76" just released a collection of 1300+ repackaged missions that require ONLY vanilla Arma2/OA http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1877225#post1877225 There must be hundreds of mods and addons, and many in turn feature their own unique missions. There are probably many thousands more user-made missions that have never been released to the public. Go to http://www.Armaholic.com->Downloads->Arma2/OA-Scenarios If you want to fly around and test equipment, go to Armoury and or play the hosted version (Armex) Edited March 19, 2011 by MissionCreep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Puma- 2 Posted March 19, 2011 Here you have it. But seriously, get Arma 2, you are missing half the stuffhttp://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=109783 thnx, yeah i should get arma2, was stupid to go cheap and just got arrowhead, when 10 euros more i could have gotten CO :cryy::cryy::cryy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Arma2 is discounted on d2d (uk) at the moment, so grab it quick (16 pounds instead of 30). Edited March 19, 2011 by ziiip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kage74 10 Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Yeah, you should definitely get ArmA2CO, then you can truly enjoy all the game has to offer. As for recommending missions or campaigns, I would suggest the following: Operation Cobalt Delta Force 1 Ghost Recon: Island Thunder Joint Operations - BAF Chesty Puller Pirog Operation Mighty Justice Operational Detachment Delta Seal Team Six Seal Team Six 4 Virtually any mission by SaOk is great and many are long enough to almost be a campaign by themselves. Stagler makes some great SP missions. Jelliz has some kewl missions as well. W0lle has remade a lot of OFP missions for ArmA 2. He's got more that just aren't listed there yet. =^.^=,,, Edited March 20, 2011 by kage74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
