Wouser 10 Posted September 9, 2009 Hi there fellow Arma2 players! After reading some maps and there descriptions i found you guys do alot of great work, my credits to these guys! Though a question raised to my mind. Often you play with allies ( human ) vs. AI. Are there maps where you can play against other humans? And more specific are there maps that got Warfare ( if i got that correct? i mean when you are the commander and can build a base :) ) for 2 persons? in means that you can play warfare against a friend and your the commander of one army and he is in command of the other army? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gutm@sher 10 Posted September 9, 2009 Hi Wouser, Any warfare mission can be played the way you want. coop generally have all humans on the same side and do not meet your needs. oden invasion/warfare 4 and benny's warfare are excellent choices for warfare and can be played either coop or player vs player with large human/ai armies. oden warfare games tend to be quicker matches and have a fast travel/respawn as team option while benny's has much harder ai resistance, no fast travel, upgrades to base buildings and can last for many, many...many hours. both of these missions can be found in this thread. warfare is highly addictive so say goodbye to the family for awhile!!

Wouser 10 Posted September 9, 2009 Ah thanks alot for the fast response and answer! So in benny's warfare it is possible to, lets say play against my brother (and both be commander of another army) and battle against eachoter? I really hope so, would add alot of joy to the game! thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gutm@sher 10 Posted September 9, 2009 absolutely. you can be on opposing sides and each take command of your army, let the ai command or a mixture of the 2. if playing benny's it takes awhile for the opposing sides to meet due to the need to capture towns from the treacherous resistance, no fast travel and the need to upgrade structures for advanced vehicles/infantry. if you want to quickly meet your evil brother's army, try oden's in invasion mode. one side starts out with lots of money and quick base building while the other side has much less money but owns all of the towns. there is no resistance controlling towns while playing oden's in "invasion" mode making the battle fast and furious.

Wouser 10 Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks alot Gutm@sher. your answers were awesome and got me totally excited to play against my brother ! :) difference are clean aswell Bennys for a long rainy sunday and the odens for a couple of hours in the evening! haha thanks alot you helped greatly! ---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ---------- Hmm another question came to mind: in the oden map instructions stated: " 'No Addon' version allows a small set of infantry and light vehicles to be purchased from any friendly Towns Depot (empty vehicles). " Does this mean that there are mods that add infantry/vehiclecs to play without having to adjust the map? and if you dont got the addons are your ifantry/vehicle options really limited?

Gutm@sher 10 Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) no. no addons or mods are required. there is a version for swedish addon stuff i believe so make sure you get the right one. on the first post of oden warfare topic, there is a link for oden cold version 4. also available at armaholic. you can buy basic infantry and vehicles at captured town centers to continue the fight without going back to the base to recruit guys. as stated, vehicles bought via town centers spawn empty. if you play odens, take the time to read the notes, etc in game via the map screen. its worth your while. for benny's there arent any included notes so will take lots of practice and experimentation to figure it all out but its well worth it once you get into warfare gaming. these are both very large missions and can tax your system (especially if you are hosting). i rec you play them using the latest beta patch. some claim it's a "placebo" effect, but i find my arma2 runs much better and more stable using the beta with large warfare missions. the last thing you want to happen is putting 5 hours into the mission only to have it crash! very frustrating. oden has the option to change the number of towns (6, 12, 18, all map) if you find it's too much for your system or want a quicker mission. the best way is to play via a server but lan should be fine for a small number of people.
