    ArmA League Scrimmages 1/31/2010

    Why bother bowen matey,, get yourself registered here at www.armaleague.com already set up, AND the biggest differance with us and ESL its run by ARMA players and clans... who have been playing the game since it OFP... same goes for 88's league and the PVP scene both of which are run by Arma Players,,, a good example is the PvP scene where it started in Clanbase but moved to its own dedicated site............... This game is such a small community, the leagues need to be run by people who have an interest in making the game work........ and not for profit.

    ArmA League Scrimmages 1/31/2010

    Might be worth putting htis on the league forum also tom....
  3. One major point thats missing is the connection speed / bandwidth etc... what line are you on and what do you intend on using ? but tbh in either you are def gonna get perfomance increases compared to playing and running it on one machine............ Im no good with the technical but a Dedi is certainly better..
  4. Sorry Gal, my mistake regarding map, Give that Town beach a shot.. loved it, Ill take a look at Black rock this sunday hopefully... and if anyone is up for a little loving on the A&D im sure we (SBS) could field a team on thurs. As tom said, I didnt mean invitation only, just that if Joe public came in and didnt understand the concept eg. defending, they would be off and out of it, and if killed early on in the map they might get a little bored waiting for the turnaround, whereas if you r on comms having a chat watching your mates running around getting shot at you tend to find it a little easier.
  5. Buddy im not flaming it,,, And no I havent tried them and TBH dont fancy it, if I want a Close action CQB I would prefer a DM or CTF but each to their own,, this mode appears to have been designed to be played Tactically and in no way can you achieve the goal in such a short time, (we felt rushed and it was set for 20 min lol),, Do you really think a map can be won in 7.5 mins without running headless chicken ? then thats fine, I dont. Regards to the cover, it was you that said that a game would turn into a 300 metre firefight,, you are wrong buddy,, as we proved last night... it all depends on your tactics.. .. eg. the attacking team was keeping the majority of defenders busy from all directions while a small squad came in close and took the objective right under our noses.... ... Regards to your message not sure what that was about or why you just posted about it,,, ? if its regarding putting a link to your own mission post on someone esle's mission post then fair enough.. ... if its regarding you editing his missions, then thats between you and him,,,, although I dont think you have actually edited them from what you said,, you have just taken his idea and made it into a CQB (oh and his actual map) but all this is between you and him,, I just pointed out that it wasnt good form putting a link on here pointing peeps to your own post.. I have no intention of changing the subject on this post.. if you have any more comments directed at me, please feel free to Pm. me buddy.. we can carry on a conversation there... But for now back on topic please.. I for one. wish to see this mode played more and will def be putting it up on the SBS server. If any teams wish to have a try of it, drop us a line at on our site or the apl site. www.armaleague.com
  6. Welllllllllll personally Galzohar I think you have taken a very good concept and ruined the whole idea behind it,,,,,,,,,,, We played an 8 v 8 vs Toms [uRC] Last night, and felt that some of the best parts of it was the fact you Valued your life and it was NOT a run in fast shoot em up mission,,, I dont speak for tom btw but I dont think you can compare a mission that has a 7.5 min limit to these maps........ We came away from this friendly and were definately converted, These are Tactical missions and coming from a Team (SBS) that have been Die hard CQB CTF guys thats one heck of a reccomendation, we enjoyed the maps from beginning to end,, YES of course if you die early its a long wait but this just makes you try harder the next time NO running about headless chicken from that point on, this mode probably doesnt lend itself well to unorganised Public games but more towards League matches and Organised friendlies between teams.... Anyway, I just felt that these maps are one of the best PvP modes Ive played, You mentioned Black Rock,,,, about it being No cover,, we played from both sides,,,, Team A attacked and lost ..... Team B then attacked and won..... it is your tactics that win the game,.. ... If you ever want some practice on it, give us a shout buddy, either SBS or URC would gladly help you out. (BTW not good form Hijacking his thread and posting a link to yours buddy but thats just my opinion)

    As I of banned !

    You prob crashed.. Server still had you as connected,, you kept trying to connect upset server admin and he banned you... dont go buying a new copy,, just try the server again if you are still banned find their website and put a request to get unbanned.

    Multiplayer - Always "laggy"?

    Doesnt lag on ours buddy,, but we dont use AI completely pvp.
  9. Hya buddy,, Sounds interesting but im just wondering how you actually trace and prove that a player is hacking ? on arma its quite difficult BUT im guessing the majority would be interested in anything you have that can either catch them or prevent them joining the servers.

    Does anybody play DM anymore?

    U will find there are some servers out there Krout,, Mostly the CTF/TDM/AAS servers, We usually play a few Dm's on our server at beginning of night to get some members on, then move to ctf's and some dm's to wind down at end of night. Filter for SBS in server name. We are a Uk team so we play Between 7pm and 11pm b GMT busiest days are sun/tue and thurs.
  13. Mission making for the new guy ? Cant think of anything better than Mac's scripting wizard, http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=79842
  14. There is a wiki on it http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Tournaments but if you wanted to keep all info in one place I just thought that would be classed as a good reference guide for any new players,,,, eg.. someone from BF who would like to play arma but would also prefer to play competitively, they could get all their info in one place, but nm, if you dont think its relevant buddy, Still an awsome document. Btw did you get my message With regards to the SBS server ?
  15. What about a section on available Leagues, Same as you have done with servers ?
  16. Aha,, now thats what ive been waiting for lol..
  17. I think hes looking for one where he can change the weps/gear on the fly ingame peeps... something like the Hex deluxe etc etc has.
  18. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=79842 You could check this thread out matey..... very easy to set up your missions change weps etc. And the guy that maintains it is very very helpful ---------- Post added at 22:34 ---------- Previous post was at 22:32 ---------- To do it in game you could just add ammo boxes... or go to the scripting section and find a script that allows you to select a variety of weps..... not sure where it is, just run a search.
  19. Agreed, or do you not play anymore ? btw that question was specific and pointed towards MAC and not towards the rest of the forum.
  20. You (and mac) would prob find it easier matey if you took this to his MAIN post http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=79842 that way he can answer you quicker and easier,, or even some of the other guys on their might have some input also.... Just being helpful.... he will prob see this also but im sure it would be easier for him matey.
  21. hya mac matey,, nice touch with the players tab,,, but for some reason I dont have one (a players tab that is) ,,,, btw would there be any chance of having the "length of the game" as a server selected option ? (from the wizard that is :) ) so admin can select 10 15 20 or 30 min rounds ?

    Looking for fun, active clan.

    http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?f=90 Theres a section set up just for this matey. Or you could frequent a few clan servers and ask politely :) ,
  23. Krout matey.. you add these as part of the mission building,,,, WHEN creating a DM map or CTF etc.. if you are interested in making a map then please check this link out... Its simple buddy... once you have made your first one,, it all clicks into place. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=79842
  24. Damn matey... have to say thats a cracking job you have done on the pvp wizard.... i have updated my mission, it took me about 2 mins.. lol.. so easy.
