BHL Team joins the coop event today, so we are currently at 15 men strong! Release of Isla Duala is scheduled for this afternoon, some major bugs need to be squashed before the actual release :/

[Tsark 12]

The guys of team BHL and myself are very proud to be part of this event, our first combined operation with another team as a proper team!

Best of luck in fixing the bugs IceBreakr.

[Yaw 10]

What's the deadline for signing up? Sorry just hopped on the forums and saw this and was interested. Then I realized today was the 12th, so yea... haha

[icebreakr 3156]

Yaw: you have PM with details on how to join. Slatts you know where to join, if you forgot the pass send me PM.

[slatts 1978]

Game keeps crashing for me for some unknown reason :/

[icebreakr 3156]

2:32am, team (5 left) are making the final push into the fortress of Lukasa, hiding a town full of Molatian enemies.

[fruity_rudy 16]

It was really nice, but I had technical issues on my end. We should do it more often. Maybe tonight?? :) ... I have to say, i prefer acre though. It was a nice team, multi-culti...Let's do it again. I got 2-3 more guys to come

[domokun 515]

I missed the event due to personal issues (wife's friend sleeping in my study).

Thanks very much to those who organised it and made it possible.

If there's a re-run of the event, I'd love to join.

"multi-culti" that word sounds just SO funny.

[Tsark 12]

Hi guys, Tsark, i acted as coordinator of BHL team for this event.

First off, i' d like to apologize for the All in Arma bisigns trouble, that is my fault i should have checked this a while ago, i dumbly installed the patches over the previous files without taking a look at the bisigns, and since we use Arma3 sync between us, we all had the same files among the BHLs. The CUP problem was very weird though, why would SIX decide to update in january 2015 the key of an addon that got released in november 2014 and hasn' t been released since?

All in all, when i looked at the list of the required mods i saw that we had all the needed addons so that addons shouldn' t be a problem, didn' t thought about the AiA bisigns, sorry.

Regarding the actual game, what we' ve done was lousy, and it' s because of a few reasons:

The first one is coms; before the mission began i couldn' t clearly understand wether we were supposed to not have intra squad coms on the radio and only use the SR between squad leaders, or to use SR for intra squad comms and LR between squad leaders and CO, or SR for intra squad, SR additional for between SLs and LR for CO or something else...etc. Add to that the fact that at some point people were asking who was using which channels to which i replied that BHL generally uses 111 as it' s SR channel, and that i then saw people generally answering 111 as to which channel should be used while i only said that it was the channel that we use between ourselves, resulted in a very disorienting situation for me which made coms really hard.

Then i heard that alpha was moving out so i had to rush my guys in the vehicles and thus we settled for BHL with 111 as our SR frequency and i used 79.8 to communicate with the CO, thus i couldn' t hear the other groups most of the time and i had a problem with my games volume compared to the one of teamspeak, which made hearing the CO very difficult.

In addition to that, the driver' s of both of my Fenneks were newbies when it came to using vehicles, so i often had to micro manage them.

Due to this combination of reasons, our participation to yesterday' s event could only be described as lousy to remain polite, which ultimately resulted in a TK on the castle, for which we of course apologize once again.

So as i' ve said on teamspeak for now we will temporarily crawl back to out hole, play, train, play, train in order to work on all the things that need to be worked on, and in maybe a month or two we will recontact you guys for a new joint op, that will go better this time i hope if that' s okay with you guys.

This was our very first joint OP, an international one at that, so i have no doubt that we will improve a lot, there is tons of room for that anyway.:rolleyes:

The different mission i' ve played individually with you guys after the first one were imensely fun though.

PS: In the meantime i' d be happy to tag along as an individual player on your gaming nights from time to time if you accept me.:)

I only caught around 25 min of gameplay due to operator error ( I pressed the wrong button and saved to a full HDD).

can we plz play more often?? I miss these coops :)

[icebreakr 3156]

Fruity_Rudy: we'll do some more events. Requests on my PM :)

[FallujahMedic -FM- 867]

First off, Thank You to [sBP] for letting me play (and dying gloriously multiple times as is customary for me)! I would also like to thank the others in the "International Teams" (Rudy, Tsark, Slatts and others whose names I can't remember at this moment).

As far as game issues go, well, let me say that the only thing I've managed to do right is use Play With Six, it does keep me up to date (and avoids signature issues). Don't feel bad, I screwed up until I figured out that there was a reason they (SBP) use it. The comms issue, yeah, I don't always understand it either. I use TFAR maybe once or twice a month (as that's the only chance I seem to have to play Arma these days). The same goes with AGM, though I have been making little "cheat sheets" to help me remember all the key combinations. Team Kill, well, "Shit Happens", we've all done it (some more than others). As far as my death around the same time, I think I was hit by enemy fire.

[icebreakr 3156]

You've requested a new event, we play on March 5.

[domokun 515]

IB: do we need to update to 1.40? If so any impact on the mission and/or mods?

[icebreakr 3156]

Sure, 1.40 is amazing patch from BIS, just check the changelog - huge!
