[Game] The Armed Assault thread

Those secondary explosions are thanks to the ACE mod :)

Tbh almost every mission that comes with ArmA is pretty ****ty, considering most are really unrealisticly set up, like the lone ranger ambushing an entire convoy etc.
Some of the last missions in the campaign are really enjoyable though, and are of the scale we are used to from Operation Flashpoint, combining lots of infantry, tanks and helicopters in a huge area of operations.
You just have to have the patience to get there i suppose, but there are user-made campaigns available that are way, way better. And they dont have the craptastic bugs either.

The ACE mod is wonderful... :D

I am starting to notice the vanilla campaign missions are hit or miss, and seem to be plagued with bugs... a shame really.

You mention user made campaigns, I noticed when I installed ARMA there is one called Rhamadi Operation, does that come with ACE or was that already part of ARMA, I can't remember.

Can you recommend some user made campaigns or point me in the right direction of some?

I appreciate all the help!:)

The Cause - by Rejenorst. 5-mission campaign with really good infantry missions
[url]http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=67;t=65622;st=0[/URL]

ENDPOINT: Mission 1 - by Rejenorst. He cancelled follow-ups to The Cause to start this. Very good mission.

Fly like an eagle - Starts with a basic helicopter insertion mission, but after a second run you crash in enemy territory. Luckily your SF are operating there, but how will you manage? (not a campaign but a really good mission)

There is another one i currently have but i cant find it, and i cant recall the name just now, but there are more missions and campaigns that you can find on websites like [url]www.armaholic.com[/URL]

Thanks for that, I'll give those a try. I tried the spec ops mission a few more times and the result is the same, the mission just hangs. Not in the sense that the game freezes, but it does not progress... it is frustrating.

Thanks for your help btw.

I remeber d/l ing this when it came out and not really enjoying it that much because my fps was so bad, well that was a while ago and ive tried playing it again with a slighty better system and its a great campaign esp. if you have the A.C.E mod running with VOP sound mod.

I luv the accents esp. the guy that sounds like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers lol that just cracked me up, anyway 2nd mission I join the army and prepare for a huge inf offensive supported by light armour and T-72's. I head to the rally point get some gear from the truck and start to follow the leader, well I was shot straight away just as I was about to take cover behind a hay bale lol. Just running through the rest of the mission this now because its so fun.

Haven't played ArmA in a while, but did anyone ever come out with any decent NBC units and/or a zombie/infected type mod/units? I loved the OPF map that had you going around to different towns to evacuate citizens because of an infection that turned anyone who died into a zombie. My bro and I played that on Coop for weeks. Also, the Chernobyl mod for OPF was simply badass.

yeah but since its release my arma experience has gone somewhat tits-up.

Not a problem with the patch i guess (which is set up with a 2nd shortcut and new target) as I can play many 1.16 servers, although a do get a few failed joins and lock-ups but i would expect that with a beta patch.
The browser advises that the 1.14 patch is available when i run 1.16

the server i frequent (1st Cav Division) now has a red cross against it no matter which version i launch - the info box says it's 1.14 still - but i get 'Bad version. server rejected connection.'
The server has changed the mission it runs - '1st Cavalry DIvision ACE Evo-Blue" which is possibly a unique version and needs to be downloaded seperately phaps? - which means the problem has nothing to do with the patch but i thought you could just dload missions based on sahrani map from the server.

I'm probably not the only one having problems here as the server is empty but for a few clan members.
Anyone else getting probs joinng servers since the patch?
as always i appreciate the knowledge and advice of arma veterans...

In other news, the release date of ArmA2 got changed to the 16th of June instead of the 26th.

Which is good news for me, because i leave for Belgium on the 26th of June for like 8 weeks, so this gives me 10 days to play ArmA2 instead of having to leave at the same second ArmA 2 drops in my mailbox which would have been absolute torture :D
