Thanks again - and your reply was definitely fast enough - I'm still trying to stop crashing choppers in training :) I found the TG community, and Im going to start there, seems like it fits my situation pretty well.

@ 160thSOAR Thank you for this great topic. I'm very new to Arma II (I only played OA so far had it a couple of days, will install the main game soon), and very new to PC gaming in general. I really love the way this game immerses you. Ive played a few other franchises which seem like toy games in comparison to this. I'm really keen on playing some MP as I can imagine this game really shines in that context. The most MP Ive played is a few hours on some racing games. I have a few questions though: 1. I'm new to all this. In other words, I'm not very good yet. I intend to practice in SP to get better, but would still like to join a squad and start dipping my toes in MP. However, the game itself is more simulation than arcade, and all of the squads Ive seen do understandably seem fairly serious about playing. Would any squads welcome newer players with less experience and lower current skill levels? I really want to find a friendly community to play in where serious fun is paramount and players of all levels are welcome. Am I likely to find that type of environment? 2. I have a family, and work 2 jobs. I play when I can, but can't always commit to playing at certain scheduled times - do more casual squads exist where people in similar situations are welcome? I get the impression from the few squads Ive looked at that theres not much point trying to join unless you can make more solid commitments time wise 3. I assume a microphone is needed to enable better co-operation with teammates. I play in my living room with a projector and wireless KB and mouse. Not strictly an Arma question but do you know of any wireless headsets that are recommended as good quality yet not too expensive?
