The Problems and Questions you describe are fully related to the mission designer, the Server and last but not least the people you play with....
If you want to play Arma2 in such a way, it is advice able not to play on the usual public servers running Berzerk, Evolution and Domination, etc.
Those are just "fun-Missions"
I’ve played Counter-strike, America`s Army, Call of Duty 4, Battlefield series and many more FPS games.
And they all have 2 things in common, they are popular games played by 9 year old as well as 50+. And they are designed by the developers and marketing team to reach a broad audience.
In general, you’ll come across 2 kinds of players. Lone wolves and clan members.
The first category consists of people who play the game the way they like it. If that means they run around like crazy headless chickens,. O well… easy targets.
The second category you’ll find will try to win a match /game / map whatever, by playing together. Often using a 3d party program like Ventrilo, Teamspeak, MSN, etc. to communicate with each other outside of the game. More then often they use public servers to “train†for real clan wars /matches.
My advice
Host your own server. (give it a name that indicates you play with tactics)
Create a clan
Create a teamspeak / vetrilo server (easy)
Create a website for your clan
Find players that think about the game the same way you do and invite them to join your clan.
Train for wars on public servers ïŠ
And challenge clans to compete with yours
For most of the games I mentioned your in the right spot at www.clanbase.com
As you can see, the public servers are solely for fun/training.
Or as a player ones told me when i tried to play with tactics:
I'm really baffled by the way people are playing the online multiplayer game.
in ARMA 2 & OA - MULTIPLAYER
