Inkompetent 0 Posted August 19, 2009 I guess too many players don't like the lowered level of comfort of actually having other humans to play against instead of AI, AND having to cooperate at the same time. I guess this explains that 90% or something of all competitive teamplay is on Berzerk maps that aren't designed to promote teamplay in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zipper5 74 Posted August 19, 2009 Most people in this community regard ArmA II as a game too "hardcore" to play competitive modes in bar PvP. Usually, when you mention playing DMs, CTFs and SCs in ArmA II you'll have some member come in and say "Why the hell do you play those? You shouldn't in ArmA II. Go play Call of Duty."

whisper 0 Posted August 19, 2009 A2 Attack/Defense could very well be used for comp scene too. One could even scenarize them. There's in fact everything (nearly) to make a correct comp map, including the referee stuff. Only thing I've hard time to imagine is the broadcasting of the match :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom_Anger 0 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) All i see is coop coop coop, and VERY few competitive modes like DM, why is this? I would very much rather play in a Team vs Team or Player vs Player environment, but I'll try to answer your question 1st then discuss more of what your looking for. ArmA's engine allows for mission designers to go nuts and some of the coops have rankings where you earn as you play (i.e. Domination, War3, Evolution, etc). I do like playing Domination when there is alot of people on a Voice channel and teamwork is used. You truly get a good experience in that aspect of gaming. Basically there is a sense of accomplishment. The problem with some of the coops (not all) is you have to play for a while to get somewhere and there are some folks like myself that don't always have that kind of time. There are groups like mine (click the sig) who host TVT, PVP most of the time as their primary gamestyle. We get more visitors to the server on the weekends, host AAS, Berzerk, Team Death Match, and Capture & Hold. Right now we are beta testing some of our TDM and CH maps. We do on occasion throw up some coop if an admin is on and the group requests it for a variety, but the preference is interaction with real players. Hope I answered your question a bit. I'd recommend you get to know some of the groups who host what your preferences are and see which ones have common interests to yours. It sounds like my group may, but there are others out there as well. Get some website links and save them as favorites then visit every so often and make suggestions for them. You may see results..... Edited August 19, 2009 by Tom_Anger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walker 0 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Hi all The missions exist as do the servers. You are not looking. Death match is very rare though. It does not float my boat it is kind of old fashioned. People have prefered Team vs. Team for a long time now, since CS came out in fact. The commonest PvP game form in ArmA is HOLD. Berzerk is one of the most popular version of this game mode. There are usualy several servers running it among the 50 to 120 player servers. Many big servers in ArmA are private locked and hidden servers it keeps the riff raff out. Most big clans/squads/communities run a public server as a recruitment and training server as well as to add add numpties to the ban lists. Esentialy public servers act as a filter. Tom_Anger pointed out his group as a PvP specialist as did whisper and other people there are many others. You can find a partial list of clans/squads/communities here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=75086 I would suggest you join one that plays in the style you like.
