ArmA II Multiplayer

OK, so ArmA II has been patched to the point where it is stable and singleplayer is excellent. Despite my earlier gripes (simarbard you know what I mean lol), I always knew ArmA II was a solid game and I am happy to be proven right.

But, to the point: I've been craving an online FPS for a quite a long time; Counterstike is old and stale and frankly TF2 isnt half of what TFC was imo, and with the recent drought of sims on the market I figure ArmA II is the perfect combination of two genres (online FPS and simulations) for me.

So, hopefully you guys (this means you, mod-who-has-ArmA-sig-yet-who's-name-escapes-me-atm) can fill me in on the best way to get into it. I have a lot to learn, but I learn quickly given a proper teacher, and sims were basically a part of my childhood (I remember when I got Falcon 4.0 it was packaged with a binder of literature).

I don't know how it works, but in most games I tend to favor the support classes (medic, engineer, etc), and I make an excellent helicopter pilot in ArmA II...I love to just go to the map editor, load up a chopper, and cruise around.

The best way would be to join a clan like the Royal marines or Silent Warriors. Multiplayer is very active, the most popular mode is Evolution. Basically 1 giant co-op game where do objectives in the game world. Yes you can solely play as support classes, especially as a chopper pilot.

PS. Most people use ACE 2 mod online.

Hahahah I got a call out, think that's the first time I saw that. I'm glad you've come to enjoy ArmA 2 now that you've patched it up to the latest. It's really a great game that most people can't see unfortunately.

Come play some Warfare with me sometime on my server.
