COOP games, do they ever actually end?

[ICE-Raver 10]

I still haven't seen one game actually come to an end.

Last night I played for 3+ hours on the same server. We owned basically every major town and even finished the side missions but new stuff just kept popping up.

I don't like to quit before the match is over, but I didn't have a choice.

The only time I have seen a match end is when an admin reset the server.

So whats the deal on this?

Not all COOP games take place over the entire island... it's just that that seems to be the only type people play. :(

I'm inspired to continue working on some small OFP-like coop missions.

Co-op missions will end when you complete all objectives on the map usually. For example; in the over-popular "Evolution" missions you win by capturing all large towns on the map.

Depends on the mission/game.

Domination for example can take anywhere from eight towns to all towns before a win is completed. It's a setting determined when the mission/game is launched.

It's entirely mission-dependent. If you're talking about public servers then 90% are running Domination or Evolution which are exceedingly long but do actually end as some point.

I host missions that mostly takes place within 1000m, attack on a base in a city or a camp deep in the forest. I like action right away and not having to travel 10k to see some action.

I'm just finishing the first of my City Take missions for Arma2.

It will be a straight forward seize a city mission. Probably takes under an hour for 4 players to finish.

Yes, some do. It depends on the Mission. For instance you can play Domination & the server can be set to 8 attack zones, once you took them all its, "game over man!"
