Where do I find third party SP missions I can now play on ARMA II. And is there a rating system of how good they are? Some of the third party SP missions for ARMA I and OFP were terrific.

I am mainly interested in SP missions. IMO best to concentrate on mission quality and originality. Intro not necessary. I prefer infantry missions. I don't think ARMA I and ARMA II do helicopter and aircraft very well and best to leave that to more developed sims.

Could not get the Footmunch F16 to download. Said it was not there. Do I have to be logged in there to get it?

Appreciate any advice on how you switch to another squad member. In some of the third party addon missions you can switch to him by selecting him at the map screen but this is not available in the in game missions. How do you switch? Thanks all.

Thanks mate. Good fun mission. Will now play it again.

Anyone have notes on best load out for rifle with grenade launcher and A/T if avaialble and any notes on what ammo matches the armament Having trouble with good loadout. Thanks all

Thanks Xtriaden

Just played it mate. Great effort. Pardon the questions but I am new to ARMA II How do you control this squad or do I not control them. I switched to another player to get his sniper rifle. Is that what you do. The sniper rifle accuracy is hopeless. Even prone the shots are all over the place. Can that be improved. I press the hold breath button but still same bullet impact spread all over the place. I seldom hit the target with the sniper rifle. Any suggestions? Also where do i go to get anti tank weapons? I fired a javelin at a tank locked on and it went somewhere else. perhaps i wasn't locked on LOL Appreciate any help to play it again with me contributing more kills LOL Great fun mission.

Just loaded it. Looks good. Will let you know what I think. How do you control squad. Squad control dpoes not seem to be active. If I hit SPACE or F buttons I don't select any squad. Do you control the squad in this mission Cheers

Kronz I have read the readme but still not clear to me. I know what to do with a PBO file but not where to put all of these files in ARMAII Can you spell out please where to put the files. Thanks mate.

Great game but I'm struggling with all of the command menus of the game. There is the 1 to 0 command menu with options green if you have units selected, there is the context sensitive menu from tweaking the mouse wheel and select by mouse click and there are in game options that pop up at the cursor. I am still using trial and error with all of this. Cheers all.

Kronz, Pardon my ignorance but where do we put the files? Thanks again.

Just curious if ARMA II can be configured to play with comparitively high detail and resolution but not full screen to reduce load on GC. I have 22 in 1680 x 1050 monitor and AMD 6000+ dual core CPU and 9800 GT 512k graphics but it over heats and heat protection minimizes the game. I have to maximimize it again when GC cools down. Just curious if playing non full screen would help and is possible. Thanks all

Thanks great aid

Great mission 10/10

Very helpful Looking for tutorials like that This game has a complex command structure

CAD you jumped us to the other thread but has anyone really described it yet. It is not rocket science or is it ???? LOL :bounce3:

This may be the long way round but if you save the game save files at stage you want to save and insert these savegame files as you want you are good to go at the same place in the mission. I got through the campaign of this game using the endmission cheat and have multiple copies of the savegame files so I can go back to missions where I want to at the good bits. Long way round LOL I always keep copies of savegame files of all games

Anyone please explain when to use high command and when to use single squad command mode. i find this a bit unclear. Also when do you know additional friendly squads have appeared or do you always have to request or buy them. I am half way thru the campaign and I have never been able to acquire or control any units other than my own squad and any request for suuport has never produced anything. Thanks all. Appreciate tips.

I agree that death of a squad member should not abort the mission until the squad behaviour is improved to have them not moving into line of my fire, behaving sensibly and not walking from cover into enemy fire. game now forces saves too often every time you achieve some gain. The Firing AI of the squad seems to be very good at seeing and shooting enemy infantry at some distance before I have even seen the enemy but then they walk out of cover and get shot.

Can anyone give a brief rundown on how to buy extra squads and use of Construction to make extra units such as BDRM Appreciate any tips

An-225 do you know how to do it and can you spell it out. I'm having the same problem

And if there are additional friendlies in pick-ups they seem to mindlessly speed around bumping into things, walls, vehicles and people and are a pain. Better than NPC not present and that all friendly squads are under your control. Odd the way friendly trucks will arrive and wander around aimlessly. That poor path finding where vehicles take wrong path and bump into walls was in ARMA I and has not been fixed and is a very aggravating bug.

If you need to end and skip a mission, hold down LEFT SHIFT and the KEYPAD "-" ( minus ) key then let go. Then type in "endmission" ( without the quotes ) and it will move you onto the next mission. Worked for me in Badlands when it would not complete and advance. The next mission is worse so I'm just running around enjoying myself and having fun. I keep the saved games files for replay. Hope they play with later patches.

V1.02 patch was not very big. The V1.03 patch will need to be BIGGG!!! to fix all of these bugs
