While playing the Operation Arrowhead COOP campagin we realized that no cut scenes or mission videos are shown. Is it supposed to be like this in COOP campaign, or have we encountered some sort of bug here?

Ok, thanks alot. Great to have people like you that really want to help people in a community. :jump_clap: You might just get a PM, if our games start acting erratic (again). :p

The reason why me and my friend played this COOP mission in the first place was that we couldn't fint campaign COOP :p (guess you have to select Host from the SP Campaign menu?!). I think we'll just play campaign in the future. Seems more fun to have some sort of story linking the missions togehter. I totally agree though, that the AI just seem dumb at times, staring into walls, and so on. Don't even get me started on their driving skills. :p Anyways, thanks for all the great tips. We might try that dedicated server thing, and see how it works out. Looking really forward to playing more though. We both really love this types of games, and this one seems like a true gem beneth some layers of "dirt". :D

I think we'll try that. Problem is though, that we're only two human players, and we still want that help from the AI team members, we just don't want to respawn as them. For me it would be ideal that if both of us die, and are not healed, it's mission failed, even if the AI team members are still alive

Thanks for all the fast answers so far. Just to clarify, this is not campagin COOP. We just selected MP, map: Takistan, and COOP 05: Hike in the Hills, and played. We didn't select any other things, except difficulty Regular, which we had edited a bit with 100 (or 1.0 or whatever it is), on the slider at the bottom of Edit difficulty in the main menu.

Hello all. Me and a friend just bought Arma 2 Combined Operations on Steam, since we both love playing war games in coop mode. Since neither of us have any particular experience with the Arma/Operation Flashpoint series, we have a couple of questions for you pros out there. 1) I start the game as team leader, and my friend as a rifleman. We also have two bots with us (a grenadier and a medic). This a coop mission in MP on Operation Arrowhead (I think its number 5, investigate a town). Soon into the mission we get pretty shot up, and both of us gets immobilized at various points. Problem is though, that team roles gets totally randomized. Suddenly my friend is team leader, I’m medic, etc. Then suddenly I’m grenadier, and so on. Why does this happen? Is it possible to change the roles back somehow, so I’m back to being team leader? 2) Sometimes during playing I can see a yellow or red “broken chain†on my screen. I’ve read that this relates to some synching issues. Is this something to worry about? We play on LAN, I have 100 mbit wired, and he has 54 mbit WLAN. 3) I think this has something to do with the possible sync issues mentioned in 2), but here goes. Still on the same mission as in 1), our two bots are injured, but mobile (not all fixed up by the medic). We save the game, and load it back up. When the game has loaded, the two bots just drop permanently dead, and the radio subtitles seemingly go through a lot of things, “enemy spottedâ€, “taking fireâ€, and so on, even though we saved at a completely safe spot. What is going on here? Sync issues again? Hope somebody can answer these questions. Apart from the problems above, we’re both loving the game so far! - FZ50
