Old style coop?

[Nikoladis 12]

When I go into multiplayer server list, and filter on coop, I do get a ton of missions. But they are all that mix between RTS/FPS types. Is noone in the world playing the old style coop missions, with a/some teams, and a beginning and an end?? Without base building and money and buying units and all that crap.

They are out there, but not too many from what I've seen. Probably most of the people that have had this game since it came out have played them all a million times and gotten tired of the base missions. :cool:

You have to look for some gaming community/semi-public server to play the old school co-ops with. There are a handful to choose from. Most will require you to download a mod or at least some addons, and to connect to their ts/mumble/vent.

On public, "coop" is all about the MORPG style or RTS as you've noticed.

We play all the coop stuff in a locked server. Reason: we need a trusted team, not a random person who might jeoparize the whole operation. I believe other organized teams can confirm that, too.

Hi,

For coop play with a mature and well behaved group of players one could try out:

Comrades in Arms

The zeus server plays nothing but "Old Style" Coops

We meet twice weekly, Sunday and Thursday evenings (Player turn out tends to be anything from 15 to 25)

We dont run with a password, we dont have any "Rank" organisation, we are just a bunch of guys whom kick back and relax while shooting at pixels

All the information you need can be found in the links in my signature, especially the zeus manual.

You will need Teamspeak 2 (We use this for gaming nights because of channel commander functionality)

If you need help with setting anything up jump on our TS3 server (Same IP << teamspeak.zeus-community.net >> ) (Any time other than during a gaming session)

Most guys that hang around on it are more than capable of helping you

We have voluntary mission commanders, who lead mission and voluntary group leaders to take control of the squads/fireteams

So if you are looking for mature, laid back but organised coop play, come and have a session with us.

Not only All are welcome, we'd also love to see some fresh faces

I used to host small public coops almost very night but at one point people lost interst in them and there was far between people joined and played more than 5min, specially when they realized that there was no respawn!

Now i can't be bothered hosting missions and wait for hours for someone to join.

JW Custom: well, in my team we play your no-respawn missions often, especially on Duala ;) but I agree, some of them are hard because of your hand-placed "ambush/sniper" units ;)

But... we usually load up a spawn-type mission where there's more than 6 players present, no one likes to wait for an hour to play again.

Well only units in my missions that are "hand-placed" are units in buildings and they move between the building positions :)

Also i often take out snipers and units with SD weapons to avoid things to get too ugly :p

Often the feeling of being sniped is because of the "precisionEnemy" setting in your arma 2 profile is set too high and then even AK's will headshoot you at 300m with first or second bullet. It's a fine balance between things being too easy or too hard.

Strange, I play coop missions every weekend with no respawn and although it's only up to 20 players, the server fills up within half an hour!!
