Choosing Weapon Loadout

[Lonewolf1980 0]

I've been playing arma for ages and i only found out today that you can choose your weapon loadout at the briefing in the 'group' page.

Just click your player and choose weapons then click rearm.M24 and RPG's come in handy for the demo map

Does everyone already know this ? am i just slow lol ?

I'm sorry to say this, but this is actually a well-known thing in both Armed Assault and OFP.

Nonetheless, glad you found out about it, and perhaps some other people who haven't as well, will know now too.

Well i have to admit that i knew you could do it but didn't know how but i am glad you brought it up as i was a little embarrassed to asked anyone.

it doesn't work with the demo ctf though

There are ammo boxes at the spawn for your weapon choice in the demo CTF.

Weapon selection at the briefing screen is a function that is setup by the mission builder in OFP. I'd assume that this is the same for ArmA?

This is possible when weapons and magazines are added to description file.If there are non added there , than no this option in mission.

Add this in your mission description.ext file
