here to kill your monster
wot gibby's been in training.
i'd love to try the tank evasion on a cycle thing.
i might set up a custom scenario with enemy tanks and my character on a mountain bike and get a stopwatch running.

I'd say our current scope should be on small coop missions, maybe infiltrations.

I personally don't want to play Warfare, but maybe others want to?

yeah as far as i'm concerned small scale sneaking and shooting is fine for now.

Will be shared on TS.

As for loadout, it kinda depends on the mission. But yes, let's keep it realistic.

Yeah, we could for instance have no AT weapons or a DM in our squad, or take M4's instead of M16 if we expect a lot of CQC.

Overall I'd like to keep all weapons with mostly Ironsights/Red Dots.
ACOG's make the game a bit unbalanced to some extent.

You think so? You mean in co-op or PVP? ACOGs are nice IMO.

Keep in mind, in some missions you don't get to choose gear at all. We'll see which missions we're going to play when we're on TS.

Well, they certainly are in Takistan.
Chernarus is a different question.

As you can see from today's game, there's a reason why I prefer to have organized games on Saturdays. :D

Anyway, I got myself a mic while I was out. It's installed, but I have yet to test it. :)

Good turnout guys!

That was a great game, with a surprising amount of coordination to say we hardly know eachother and are quite new to ArmA 2 ourselves. Thanks to TDNL for the server (s).. and, well, next monday? :D

Pretty well organized for a bunch of ArmAtures, I think we can all agree.

Do you guys never use the group channel, global channel, in game voip!
Its very useful.
Is it hard on the server ?

I was Sgt. Gibby! *insert awesomeface here*

I don't think I saw you in-game before I left. :( (what's your nick, btw?)

when my main pc dies at half five and i've got to get the other one up and running, disk space freed, arma installed+patched and Teamspeak configured it's 'User1'
hopefully next time i play i'll have time to be dogbadger again.
i got on about 8ish our time

That was fun! Yeah, surprisingly organized for a bunch of guys who've never played together :) Even the formations went pretty smoothly.

You guys are welcome to use our TS anytime, but please stay in the 'Games' channels because the ArmA 2 channels are used for TDNL sessions. You may also use the game server as long as we're not using it. Those are the rules, okay? :)

You are all awesome guys. Also lol @ Lemon's Anglicized accent.

Here are the group shots.

Well thank you very much Nimsky, what a fine offer.

Maybe you could form a TDNL Foreign Legion Squad !
