Multiplayer questions

[Hellmaker 0]

Hi guys,

Hope everything is great  . I wondering if you could help me with some questions regarding multiplayer in Arma2.

1. What are you looking foward to do in multiplayer?

2. Will each player have a squad to command in multiplayer?

3. If you choose to have a tank, can you drive/fire yourself or do you need more players?

4. How many player is there going to be on each server?

Here is the deal!

1. Great COOP play, COOP player vs player objective, and yes even player vs player missions like CTF and TDM. I want the total package of modes.

1. COOP! and ofcourse the environment with more lifelike civilians/ambience like the trains. To do some missions with civilians around. Sneaky sneaky. Also some PvP. The great thing with ArmA is that you can do ANYTHING you want. And i cant stress the ANYTHING enough.

2. See "ANYTHING" in nr1. You can play alone or with 1-XX AI followers.

3. Tanks have more slots than driver. It has Driver, Commander, Gunner and Loader. Differs depending on tank. You can be alone but then you have to drive, then change to gunner to shoot and then to loader to load a new shot. Realistic and fun. So you better get some AI or better yet some friends to fill it.

4. Hard to say ofcourse. But up to 50+ live players and then if wanted, loads of AI. Not counting the enemy AI. Best play is if you get with a team with people that like to play the same style as you. Remember ArmA can be played in so many ways and you will like some ways of play better than others.

ArmA rocks mate. Nothing can touch it - in my world anyway.

Regards

Alex

2. In the OFP1 some players were squad leaders and had AI/human players under his/her command. If OFP2 will give each human player his own squad why not for ARMA2 if that's what the mission needs.

3. Hell no this is not BF games. You will need a whole crew.

4. They say it's 50 + for the PC however, the community will inc this number for sure. For the console I am hoping for 32 would be great but if not then 24 like the elite had.

I am totally in with COOP play and are really looking forward to it . It seems like Arma2 is the only modern combat simulator on the market. Which should make us all proud!!

50+ in multiplayer sounds awsome!!

And I totally argee with you that a tank should be crewed with real players (for realism and co-op).

I have another question to you. Is it okey if I do a poll, which scenarios people would most like to play in multiplayer?

These are some suggestions:

1. Mechanized warfere

2. Urban warfare

3. Airbourne missions

4. Special operations

5. Convoy/Escort

6. Peace keeping and civilian protection

Some other suggestions? Someone have an intresst doing a poll like this? Would be fun I think

What you can do and are supposed to do depend solely on the mission. The same game mechanics apply as in single player, so if you can switch to driver seat you can do it, or have someone else drive for you. The maximum player number also depends on the mission because there is always a limited amount of playable slots designated by the mission maker. I'm pretty sure that you can have over 100 players if the server can handle it because it's already being done in Armed Assault.
