Are you talking about the Main campaign? cause if you are i wouldn't mind playing some coop in that. My steam ID is JonnyTullwood.

Yea i know my ping was high but it is kind of difficult living on the west coast of the US and trying to find a decent server.

Thank you i have been searching for their homepage.

Hey for whoever runs that server can you please explain why i was banned on December 12th. I have played there many times since its launch without any problems then yesterday i get banned for no reason. For the record i was not cheating, hacking, or running any mods at all. Your server is one of the few that i love to play on so any explaination would nice.

How about actually getting the supress command to work for the AI

Or what about not going to sci fi but more high tech. Like maybe a land warrior system, light sqaud uavs stuff like that. More future weapons. Like i remember reading something about small rocket pod containing about a dozen or so rockets carried by platoons or sqauds to be used as indirect fire, using laser designaters on the land warrior system.

What about the a way to use trained dogs to report on enemy positions, or scout for opfor. It could just pass through an enemy held town untouched perfect for reconnaissance. Command them like the AI if at all possible.

Just hold shift then click on any unit in a certain team, then everyone in the team will be selected.

Yea same here if they can make that supress command functional it would definitely intensify some of the battles.

What about instead of just PvP let each player control 2-4 AI or more to make the battles alittle larger in scale. So instead of just classic FPS strategy you bring in the squad element of the game, which in my opinion is the reason for the bigger maps.

In regards to suppresive fire ive seen a command option for it but have never been able to get it to work. When you are controlling AI team with any number of guys selected then simultanesouly press the alt button the command screen on the left brings you 2 new options 1. watch direction 2. supress but everytime i use the supress option nothing happens evern when i hover reticule over the enemy. so if anyone can give me any hints it would be great.

The best way i can think of is in the editor set down your player unit then set down a bunch of sqauds of whatever you want.Just not grouped to you, then go to modules and set down a high commander box then use the synchronize function(F5) and drag a line from it to the unit your controlling. So then when you go into the mission or preview press ctrl+spacebar and a bunch of icons should show up each one representing a group. Its a really cool function about arma 2 you can easily control up to a hundred or more AI but there are some bugs with it so just play around with it abit.

But if you use tricksters way it works on the map screen pretty well.

I think with Arma 2 being able to handle a huge amount of players (human and computer alike) compared to the previous titles alot of people want that bigger scale, more epic battles. Arma 2 has such scope that some of the moments playing the larger scale missions just make your jaws drop in awe. I know I have on occasion.

Yea i hate when you switch from the team leader to another sqaud member and then the team leader opens fire. If only you could set him up like the other ai when you make the switch.
