COOP campaign recommended mods

Hello guys

My friends and i will soon start playing ArmA2 coop, and i'm wondering if there are any "essential" mods we should get in order to make the experience as good as it can be?

You need of course CBA (for the following mods), so I recommanded ACE mod, with JSRS and Blastcore visual ! also you can use this mod : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9936 , for better team work :D (if you use teamspeak you can use ACRE, a radio system modification using Teamspeak) Good luck !

All those mods that add to the experience (like sound-mods and visualFX-mods, especially JSRS, ACEX_SM, HiFi and Blastcore) are certainly a good idea. ACRE should work too, especially in coop.

I personally would not play the campaign with ACE, as some tasks are almost impossible to solve with ACE. I would take a look at COSLX, to improve the game mechanics a bit. ASR_AI is a good idea as well, so the AI will be a bit more than just clay pigeons. But keep in mind that with every mod there comes additional need to configure settings. Especially with AI-mods like ASR_AI you have to find the right skill settings first before you can really enjoy to play - install ASR_AI, test the AI in game, close the game, calibrate your userconfig, start the game, test the AI in game, close the game, calibrate your userconfig, start the game, test the AI and so on up to the point where you think you found the right setting, then you start the campaign and find out the AI is still either way too inaccurate or way too precise. ;)

But if you play with ACE, I definitely recommend ASR_Appendix, so you can further customize the ACE behaviour in missions that weren't specifically created with ACE in mind.

And if you don't want to get a headache with every single mod, get yourselves Play WithSix, it may take a moment to understand the structure of the programm, but it's an example for a great game-launcher that takes a lot of work from your shoulders.
