Hey chopper pilot here looking for a clan or unit. I want a unit with a solid background not one thats just going to fizzle out in a month. I have been flying choppers in arma since 07 when arma had first come out. Before that I was flying choppers in BF2:PR. From arma 1 I helped found a realism unit which is still alive and kicking in arma 2 this day. I took a break for a while., afterall a game is a game and if you're not having fun then what good is it and I wasnt having fun. I'm ready to get back in it and I can guarantee you I'm one of the best chopper pilots you'll find in this game.

Arma 2 through retail, OA through steam

I can't get CO to run @ACEX_SM. Is anyone else having this problem? @ACEX_SM can run with standalone OA standalone but not with CO. Here is what the things looks like. :runs "%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca;@ACE;@ACEX_SM;@ACEX;@CBA;@CBA_OA" I'm just really pissed off because I have never had a problem with arma as far as running whatever I want to run, but now with this steam bullshit, its extremely confusing and frustrating.

Okay so I never used steam before and I downloaded OA on there. I have a couple of questions. Where do I find the game directory? And is it possible to make it where its just like a normal game installed so I can add my mods and make all the necessary changes. How can I edit the command line of the shortcut? This steam is very annoying and confusing. Can someone please tell me how I access OA like a normal installed arma 2.

This is actually pretty funny.

I wouldn't last a month on this game if it weren't for the mods. I'm sure a lot of other people would also loose interest if they cannot use mods in multiplayer. The game is very bland without them.

I can't even join servers with one simple sound mod, vop sound is not even signed on a server. I remember arma 1 where you were able to play multiplayer with any mod under the roof. All it takes is to upload a key to your server and you can't do that, why? I can't even play with a simple sound mod. It sucks when you have to play with those crappy default sounds.

I'm sorry, I don't have 100$ a month lying around for a server. ^^^ And, what do you mean regarding the game would grind to a halt? It worked flawlessly in arma 1, I don't see how it would be a pain to take it out. You must be one of those peoplewho demands instant gratification. I have news for you, you're playing the wrong game.

The evolution marines has fast travel. This discourages teamwork, and limits flying roles. I recommend you take this off. I, along with many others like to take the role of air transport. When this fast travel respawn BS is implemented, it makes people like me and other people wishing to fly air transport, basically useless.

Can you put the view distance higher, or set an option via server side? I want to feel like I'm playing arma, not bf2.

Gee, I hope Chammy makes another sound mod for arma 2.

BIS makers make it real enough, addons and mods make it more real. What I'm trying to say here is that there is a lot more than just the default vanilla game. Eventually there will be a mod that enhances ballistics to a more realistic level. Don't get your panties in a bunch just yet, give it time.

Does anyone have problems jip on multiplayer for the death valley mission? I don't have any buy menu when I jip, and when I die that's it, I have to leave the server because it freezes.

Yea also had this problem. Although my mic it broken I still try and work with people via text, it never happens.
