TacticalGamer.com Launches ArmA 2

The same community that brought you #1 Gametracker.com ranked servers and a teamwork-oriented, mature environment is back with the second iteration of the Armed Assault title.

For those of you who have not gotten the chance to visit TacticalGamer.com or play on its servers yet, I will give a brief explanation. TG is not a squad, it is an open, public community for like-minded gamers. Basically, we provide the servers, you provide the teamwork. When playing on TG servers, teamwork and maturity aren't just expected, they are a requirement. As some of my friends put it, "We try to run a tight ship which means troublemakers, lone wolves, people who do not follow their Squad Leader/Commander's instructions, all dont last long." That being said, TG welcomes all willing players to our casual gaming environment and hope that your stay on our servers is an enjoyable one.

In-game VON (Voice Over Network) is now enabled and working well on both the TG Servers, with the help of the 58972 beta patch. Passwords to the servers are no longer available on Teamspeak, but it is encouraged that you join us on TS anyway to get the full community experience. To obtain the passwords to the servers, please make sure you are up to date with the 1.03 and 5972 beta patch by reading this and this.

Tactical Gamer is proud to be one of Dslyecxi's promoted gaming communities, as seen near the bottom of the first page of his recently published guide,

Dslyecxi's ArmA2 Tactics, Techniques, & Procedures Guide - Be sure to check that out when you have the chance, if you haven't already.

Lastly, TG hosts a variety of other games too that may also be worth checking out - including the already popular modification for Battlefield 2, Project Reality.

Thanks for your time and we hope you'll be joining us for a mission or two soon!

TacticalGamer invites you to a COOP event on our BRAVO [ACE/ACRE] server.

This event is open to ALL players. Supporting Members will get preference.

We will be enforcing "dead men can't talk" rules. This means that if players are killed, they can't make death gurgle noises or any other sound that indicates their death. If you wish to talk please move to the seagull channel, or ask to be moved, as and an admin will move you.

Players will be required for TeamSpeak roll call 30 minutes before step-off. We will use TeamSpeak as the primary form of communication.

What not to post:

Date: Saturday, 18th February 2012

Time: 7PM EST

Roll Call - 06:30 EST (Time GMT-4)

Step Off - 07:00 EST

Mission is Operation Idyllic Autumn on Chernarus. It is inspired by Operation CO34R Vertical Envelopment on Chernarus made by ACOGRecon. This event will be played as a realism event with new features and approaches. Amongst the features that will be implemented are a new MEDEVAC system that expands on the existing ACE Wounds. No more magically putting back together blown up legs in the field. Now you have to stabilize the injured person, get him on a stretcher and request a MEDEVAC helicopter that will take him back to base for medical treatment. A very strong encouragement to keep your head down once the bullets gets flying.

In order to create this atmosphere there is going to be run different courses up to the event. These will be familiarization courses to ACE & ACRE for all the new players, Fireteam courses to get a good sense of how a fireteam operates, leadership courses from fireteam leaders to platoon commanders as to cultivate player's leadership capabilities and navigation courses are amongst other courses. The TGU instructors and others are working on putting together up-to-date lesson plans as we speak.

This is ambitious as heck, so spread the news around the forums and everywhere else of this event!

The following are required to play in this event:

• ACRE
  
• ACE
  
• Arma 2: Combined Operations
  
• Teamspeak 3
  
• TGMaps
  

Sign-Up Information:

How would you like to play a mission series where the choices you make this week affect the mission you will play next week?

That is exactly what the mission makers for our two new ArmA2 events are planning for. You read that right....two new and distinct multi-mission events are being rolled out next month!

These missions are designed to be of the essence of the Tactical Gamer experience. Realistic game play and solid team work will be required to complete these missions. There will be consequences to the choices & actions you take that will appear in later missions so the immersion will be fantastic.

We have already been running familiarization courses for the ACE/ACRE mods, Basic Infantry, Close Air Support and more are planned. Get on the Armed Assault thread & find the next training session.

Operation Deep Dagger by Sector will take place in Takistan and have the Russians combining forces with the Takistani Army. They have begun to terrorize the population and intend to seize control of the oil resources of the entire region. Don't sit idle, join the team & put a stop to their bloody horror.

IDYLLIC AUTUMN INFO

IDYLLIC AUTUMN SIGN UP

In honour of those brave men who near 68 years ago performed one of the greatest combined operations assaults to help bring an end to the German occupation of Europe. Tactical Gamer, Rusty In Places and Tour of Teamrespawn are proud to announce a month long celebration of the 1944 Normandy Landings.

The actual landings took place on 6th June 1944 which was then followed by over 30 days of fighting to liberate France. Initially starting just after midnight with an airborne assault of 24,000 men from Britain, America, Canada and France, then the more famous amphibious landings plus armoured battles staged in order to divert the enemy from the real assault.

To help re-enact some of these battles, we are joining forces for a month and coop gaming with vintage weapons using the I44 mod for Arma2. With custom missions provided by TG and Tour to provide a unique experience and help strengthen our communities that would make General’s Eisenhower and Montgomery proud.

Agenda for June 2012

• Sunday 3rd June – Airborne Insertion
  Sunday 10th June – Armour battle or Beach landing
  Sunday 24th June – Le Battle – a huge combined ops battle for up to 60 slots (or more)

All events will be starting on the dot by 1900 GMT (2000 BST / 1500 EST) with roll call and muster starting an hour before.

All events staged on a password protected TG supplied server.

In game coms will be used during the mission, so communities may use their own TS3 channels.

Only the I44 mod is required. TG has created a custom yml to assist with configuring your game. If you have Six Updater installed then click on the following link to launch SU & create a new preset with the allowed mods.

Missions are to be confirmed, more info will be released closer to each event.
