@forest onyx and @molten heron thanks for your help. At the moment I'm really trying to play single using the BAFX and RANGEMASTER mods which are giving me the problems ACE too among others, but those 3, mostly the first 2 are causing me fits. So my understanding is, from you guys, that I should be using 1.62 Do you know of any special problems if I have my Steam 1.64 and GOG 1.62 installed at the same time? Thanks again!

Is A2 / OA worth picking up in 2020? Ill just wait for a sale or pick up on G2A or something. Is there still a niche community playing ?

ripe rune Feb 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

@steep verge What would you play in it?

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Coop? idk i am new to the series

ripe rune Feb 24, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

I don't think Co-op is too active in arma 2 anymore. There is this one russian server though. But I think they only speak russia.

#

But PvE servers + Warfare is very active

#

Although only a few servers

#

dayz is still there

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

But PvE servers + Warfare is very active

#

good to know !

#

is Warfare PvP

#

still gotta learn the mode names

ripe rune Feb 24, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

Yes

#

but you fight resistance and other player's AI in it too.

#

but the main objective is pvp

#

Then there's red evo. Haven't tried it out but as far as I know it's PvE only, and you attack enemy locations as a team.

#

https://www.gametracker.com/search/arma2/ All servers, excluding dayz.

#

But if you get it, remember to get Combined Operations pack so you have normal arma2 + operation arrowhead

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

Will do

#

And wow i completely forgot about gametracker, i used to use that site YEARS ago for BF3

#

Theres some nostalgia lol

ripe rune Feb 24, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

BF3 active still too :p lmao

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

Yeah a lil bit

ripe rune Feb 24, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

I use battlemetrics but gametracker if I need to check current score or overall score stats.

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

Ill check that site too.

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Ok so i picked up the complete collection, to access the multiplayer content do i need just OA + the dlc installed or also A2 base ?

steep verge Feb 24, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

I guess ill keep both installed for the campaigns

stable matrix Feb 25, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

Depends on the server and mission but if you want to use all content you’ll need both

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

@steep verge Most servers use combined operations. Start Arma 2 first then Operation Arrowhead, and confirm that Chernarus is in the editor. This starts combined operations on OA

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

I need to have both running?

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

No, install both. Then you just need to start arma 2 first, then just play operation arrowhead.

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

I only need to start A2 once then close it then run OA from then on?

#

Im new, bear with me here

#

Alright Chernarus is in the editor in OA, but i see no servers in the server browser ?

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

@steep verge setup filters: 0 ping

#

Also you can try to remote connect a to a server.

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Hmm still none. Im only just trying to see if servers show up for now. i still plan to complete the boot camp first at least before i hop into multiplayer

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Weird. Try connecting in to a server with remote connect, take ip and port from the gametracker from example.

#

Maybe your steam ports are blocked or something

#

that's the case if you can still connect to a server with remote connect.

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

OK i can see the servers now. I think what i was doing was running Arma 2: British Armed Forces instead of OA even though i put the shortcut to ArmA2OA.exe on my taskbar. But i used steams default desktop shortcut this time and it actually says Im running Arma 2: OA instead of Arma 2: BAF this time. AND i can see servers this time.

#

That is weird lol

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

awesome 👍

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

Id really like to find the dedicated .exe for OA to put on my taskbar as i really dont like to keep shortcuts on my desktop

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

It's in the steam folders

#

arma2oa.exe

#

but I think then your steam doesn't run in the background, not sure

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Thats the one i used. But that runs Arma 2 BAF for me for some reason

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Hmmmmm

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

I assume thats why i couldnt see any servers

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

I don't know. I think I uninstalled my baf

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Oh well Ill find it later. I can keep ONE shortcut on my desktop for now, wont hurt 😛

#

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Yea I play Warfare almost daily on the wasp server.

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Oh nice! Ok ill def play some singleplayer and boot camp before i hop into multiplayer. Ik its pretty much a necessity todo so lol

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Just atm trying to figure out this problem, we have 3 custom map mods for the server. but when I run Taviana first, then any other map, it crashes my local server.

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Oh that sucks

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Yeah multiplayer is just you need to know what to shoot, not to shoot friendlies.

#

You need to know the vehicles and suits of the soldiers

#

And in general you need to know in what direction the friendlies and enemy are. This is very important when using thermal for example.

steep verge Feb 25, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

I see

ripe rune Feb 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

Armory is really good for getting known to the vehicles etc. If you edit your profile, you can manually add like 500k points to it, so you can drive/fly any vehicle you want

#

(from the files)

Sent you a invite if you want to try our server sometime, when you hop in to mp 😄

Hello, during the weekend we ran a modded server with latest 1.64 version. During the time, we had 4 players reporting to us that they coulnd’t connect to the server. The error was with corepatch pbo’s and warfarevehicles.
The error was solved for three of those players by deleting the files and verifying the game files from steam, and one had to reinstall arma 2 and oa completely...
We confirmed that the players that had the issues were running 1.64 fresh install. I also ran in to this issue while hosting a test server with new 1.64 install. All of the players who updated to 1.64 from previous patch faced no issues at all. Could there be something wrong with the server install or such? Or just a bug that was left there for the eol patch?

#

Thanks!

#

@molten heron

#

Edit: could connect to the server but getting kicked off soon after.

#

Also, tried doing the same for the server and it didn’t fix the issue

oblique kernel Mar 4, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

what about the rotation of missions in ArmA2. They don't switch.

#

And the truth is the end of ArmA2 to which the developers themselves led.

#

Да и линукс сервера до сих пор нет???????? Зачем так делать было
And there is still no Linux server???????? Why do that?

eternal wadi Mar 4, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

Why? because no programmer available.

Idk why release a patch if you can't make it a complete one.

turbid glen Mar 4, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

I wish Bohemia would port the Arma 1 and/or 2/OA campaigns to Arma 3 with coop. East Wind is okay but Apex is just so much more fun thanks to the coop. Harvest Red and Sahrani Conflict are great (and the latter would be perfect with coop and modern Arma gameplay)

odd citrus Mar 4, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

I think theres been some attempts by community to recreate those.

turbid glen Mar 4, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Only ones I've found were reported to be broken by updates or something

odd citrus Mar 4, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

quite possible

#

It is a big task though so its not really possible for BI to do that unless people are willing to pay for it

#

like a old Campaign DLC

molten heron Mar 4, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

it's not that simple, as the AI behaviour and mechanics changed a lot inbetwen each generation

turbid glen Mar 4, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

That's the point though. Arma 1 without ACE is actually impossible to play without extreme trial and error. With Arma 3's AI, visuals, gunplay, mods... it'd be a different, yes, but far superior experience in my opinion. Arma 2 isn't as bad thanks to the introduction of the medical module but the basic physics and movement were still clunky and not as good to control as 3. It also has a weird grey filter on top of everything that makes it look washed out which I don't think anyone would be against getting rid of.
Yes, it'd be a complicated and lengthy task, but I think it'd be a better purchase as DLC/expansion packs than the last few ones we got for the game, and it'd help with those that haven't gotten into Arma 3 yet for one reason or another and instead stayed in the previous games. If the community can do it for no pay, imagine something like Global Mobilization except it's one of the previous games. Like I said, I wish it would happen. I have no faith that it will. It's just a sentiment I have fairly strongly.

#

East Wind is fantastic but in my opinion its OST, terrain, plot and time period simply weren't as interesting as the other ones. Not to mention the lack of coop which makes some missions actually annoying to play. Harvest Red with Arma 3's gameplay... ah, that'd be the best.

odd citrus Mar 5, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

Oh another thing is that they would need to recreate all the old assets in Arma 3 stardards. I think you dont quite yet grasp what all would be required.

mighty yew Mar 5, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Make CUP a requirement... sorted 😉

turbid glen Mar 5, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

lol they reuse a bunch from Arma 2 already and even the same wall as from Arma 1. Sure some buildings like the apartment complex or some of the factories from Arma 2 would need a facelift but most of them either already are fine or are already in use in Arma 3

And like I said, it's a wish, wishful thinking at its purest, not a request or suggestion or demand

Welcome to play -=[WASP]=- Warfare (highly edited and tuned version of Benny's Warfare) in Arma 2: Combined Operations!

Your goal is to capture towns from local resistance and the opposing forces, and to defend your own base and most importantly to destroy enemy base structures and HQ.

However, capturing towns as secondary goal is very important too, because towns generate money and resources (supplies) for the team that the commander of the team can then use to build factories and to upgrade technology available to the team. If you have much less towns than the enemy, you're at severe disadvantage because the enemy team can upgrade their technology (to eg. get better tanks) faster than your team. So make sure to capture towns!

Towns can be captured by capturing (going into) the strongpoints around a town, killing all enemies in the town and then going next to the main depot of the town. You can buy new gear inside strongpoints, and they serve as respawn points too after being captured.

Most things in the mission happen via WF menu that can be accessed with mouse scroll.

Please note that the mission is quite complex and the documentation is pretty bad. Feel free to ask questions on the server from other players and admins! Even though the learning curve is steep, the gamemode is endless fun once you learn how it works thanks to its dynamic nature!

According to the forum topic there isn't and won't ever be a TS3 plugin past version 3.0.12, due to the huge amount of changes which are required to make it work.

eternal wadi Apr 9, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

"huge"

#

TFAR works back till 3.0.9 up till latest

so.. there weren't that many api changes

but unlike me, ACRE folk didn't think about multi-ts-version compat

#

but still no Arma 2 support 😛

ripe rune Apr 9, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Yeah, it's unfortunate :/ . But I contacted dev he said that it would indeed require huge changes. And he said if it's possible to get the v19 teamspeak plugin source he can send it, so we can update it to the newest version.

#

Github history goes only to 2016, and that's not enough.

#

And it's for Arma 3. 😄

#

hey ppl 🙂 I have a little problem with Arma 2 : OA and I don't find any solution on internet 😦 :

In the OA Campain, if I die or at the end of a mission.. the game crash to the desktop 😮

I've delete Arma 2 OA in the Appdata, check integrity in steam etc... but nothing fix it 😢
Any advice or solution here ? 🙂

#

No problem in red harvest 😕

Has anyone here ever worked with Losis Armory V5? Thinking about trying to integrate overwatch with it for the vehicles and some of the weapons. If anyone would want to work on it with me or help me out please PM. thanks.

'+ several optimizations'

#

does that mean more fps?

obsidian agate May 12, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

Perhaps

#

you do realise that they will not list a```

added 10 FPS for everyone

hidden axle May 12, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

yes obviously

obsidian agate May 12, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

depending on your config and bottleneck, results may vary

I suppose these are CPU-relieving opti, they didn't change the visual

hidden axle May 12, 2020, 9:36 AM

#

i know that results are different for every pc config but from my experience there are some games in which some updates drastically increase fps for most people

#

anyways

#

im assuming i can revert back to old version if i dont like the update right?

obsidian agate May 12, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

if you are you on Steam, yes
otherwise you have to uninstall + reinstall only 1.63

#

I don't know if 1.63 & 1.64 are MP compatible though

ripe rune May 12, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

1.64 didn't optimize anything, from my view. It only caused problems 😄

hidden axle May 12, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

@ripe rune what problems did you encounter? Also do you use Ace?

ripe rune May 12, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

@hidden axle an error message everytime opening the build menu, AI doesn't get in to the camps, ai text layout is fucked up, fps drops to 2-3 for ever (sometimes randomly) until I use FLUSH. And I'm sure there was more, but they just didn't come up to my mind right now.

#

Also we had problems with headless client.

hidden axle May 12, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

What about mods? Are older mods compatible?

ripe rune May 12, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

Not really. JSRS works for us decently, but I think it broke part of our mods too regarding to radar fixes.

#

If you want to play with ACE etc, I recommend 1.62

#

The problem with older versions is the playerbase is so much smaller though.

winged pollen May 12, 2020, 12:19 PM

I dont know man 1.64 runs the best for me so far without problems

#

and thats on epoch

not noticed any HC issues

Arma 2 is a shooter game

@crimson jay I run Arma 3 in Ultra. And everyone runs Arma 3 better than Arma 2.

turbid glen May 27, 2020, 2:33 AM

So Arma 2 has a hidden 3D Editor

#

And it's really cool!

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/244119488826441729/715029993796927488/unknown.png

#

It's confusing as hell and even placing units can be difficult BUT it's a life saver when it comes to actually visualizing where things will be and where they'll see

turbid glen May 27, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

Interesting. I exported a test mission to both multi and singleplayer, but the game crashes while trying to read the mission file and update the list

#

"Data file too short. Expected 15739B, got 108 B"

#

Oh well! Preview still works though, and you can kind of use it like A3's zeus since going back to the editor doesn't abort and reset the mission automatically - it just freezes everything.

#

Only it's just singleplayer and not as intuitive, fun, or useful. Still an interesting foray into what later became 3den in Arma 3, and even Zeus. Makes me wonder whether there's a way to play Arma 3's alpha in 2020, see what got cut and how the game started out. Might even have the solution for my combat pace issue! Also, physx either sucks, or its implementation in both Unity and Arma 3 is pretty bad. I lean towards the former possibility. Some of the stuff that happens in that engine and that game, but not in Arma 1 or 2 is.. intriguing.

eternal wadi May 27, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

Back then we used it to export the mission as script

#

then you just spawned/placed the units with a script that ran at init, in multiplayer.

turbid glen May 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Nice

mighty yew May 27, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

We still do that for DayZ/Epoch tbh

near trench May 29, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

DayZmod and its relatives are hidding normal 2D editor from the main menu, so we have no choice than 3D editor with those mods. (In truth I wanna use 2D editor for getting building ids, watching textured map and so on.)

merry briar May 31, 2020, 5:55 AM

No bump/spam, and most of the cases you maybe could with retexturing
@merry briar
And how do I do that?
I've tried using the oh so famous arma/BIS tools that you can download but they never freaking work when it comes to editing .paa files ect

Sorry about the bump,it's bee almost 24hrs and no one seems to ever be on here so ...

Actually over 24hrs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

merry briar Jun 1, 2020, 8:19 AM

Today at 1:53 PM

Today at 5:11 PM
I don't see there's 24 hours of gap

#

Also, do you have TexView2 or whatever it called to open .paa? You just save the .png from .paa file with it, and you know how it goes

forest onyx Jun 1, 2020, 8:20 AM

I don't have anything listed at 1:53 my time so idk

I posted the question at 10:53pm yesterday my time and reposted it at 2:11am my time, hince the 24hrs

#

Anyway I have all of the "Arma tools" downloaded but they don't work on win10 or w/e, the only things I can get to work is the un-pbo tools

merry briar Jun 1, 2020, 8:25 AM

Do you have Arma 3 Tools? Maybe you can handle it

forest onyx Jun 1, 2020, 8:26 AM

you could also use wine to run it

also, note the difference between Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

can you listen to AI comms if you pick up a radio from a dead enemy?

in arma 2

toxic delta Jun 4, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

no, AI only uses virtual radios to communicate with each other (aka scripts), so there's no real voice traffic

#

same applies to Arma 3

for PvP you can use ACRE (A2 and A3) or TFAR (A3) to listen to other players

It won't remove it unless you confirm it, it's just a quick way of showing entitlements

The soundtrack stuff being split how it is in Steam is kinda recentish, so just hasn't been done that way for Arma 2 unfortunately. Arma 2 also has missing assets for the new library view.

Operation Flashpoint: Red Hammer

Operation Flashpoint: Red Hammer is an expansion pack to Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. It was developed by Codemasters.
Red Hammer depicts the same conflict as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, but places the player in the role of a Soviet soldier, Dmitri Lukin, ...

Found this on the wiki page, seems like AAN Moricky wasn't the first real life website Bohemia made to advertise Arma games

#

Pretty neat

#

I have come to the conclusion that Arma 2 is superior to Arma 1 and 3
However, Arma 3 is more populated than Arma 1 or 2
Therefore, Arma 3 is what I should play more
On that note, does anyone here have Armed Assault Rearmed installed?

True

Arma 3 is not bad

Their is some stuff they messed up while making it but compared to arma cold war crisis or arma 2 it is an improvement in gameplay and generally graphics it is true that the units are worse then the ones in arma 2 and cold war but that's just personal preference

@deleted user#4271 Eh, combat pace and the worse collision detection on AI kind of ruins Arma 3 for me most of the time

#

It's still an overall good game of course, it's still Arma, but I do consider it inferior when looking at Arma 2 specifically since that's basically just Arma 1/OFP but polished and with modern graphics

#

That's just me though, most people do prioritize the lack of clunk over the immersion and balance found in #end_of_life_arma games

Does Arma 2 (OA/CO) use large memory pages after the 1.64 update? Maybe it was just purely coincidental, but I noticed a huge boost in game performance after enabling large page permissions in Local Policy Editor

eternal wadi Jun 23, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

if you run tbbmalloc and that was updated too, very likely yes

#

even arma 3 itself doesn't use large pages...

weary stirrup Jun 23, 2020, 7:17 PM

@eternal wadi ?

Why is there a setting for it in the launcher then?

eternal wadi Jun 23, 2020, 7:22 PM

because it tells tbbmalloc to use large pages

but Arma does its own page allocations, without the allocator, ignoring large pages

Got my dad to play Arma 2 for the first time, his prior experience with shooters having been some sections of No Mercy from L4D1 a few months ago and maybe a round of MOHEA on the PS2 a decade and a half ago. He did surprisingly well lol, got used to the scrollwheel super quickly and swapped between seats like a pro

#

I do however have to give him some real game experience before playing with him on the [REDACTED] next week. Should I put him in a random Deathmatch scenario where it's basically just infantry or should I throw him in a Warfare server, where he can get used to the other assets as well as navigation and target identification?

Basically, it's a safezone. But because arma is arma and arma is a bit weird and awesome the protection zone is not just some coordinates where your weapons won't work, but instead its a giant invisible sphere with impenetrable fire geometry which causes your bullets/grenades etc to stop in the very place they came into existence. @turbid glen

Why is the primary language in Sahrani, sahrani, derived from Spanish if the island was a british colony?

toxic delta Jul 4, 2020, 11:01 PM

Not all (previously) colonies are having the official language the same as their colonizers.
For example Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch, and yet almost no one living there speaks Dutch, even though they only became independent in 1949.

mighty yew Jul 5, 2020, 12:17 AM

Probably because we Brits took it off the Spanish in one of the many wars that we took other people's colonies as prizes... 🤷

merry briar Jul 18, 2020, 11:39 AM

Some already made some I believe. Check Steam Workshop, and the most importantly, *Arma 3

Also, older games aren't Arma 3. Direct importing won't make it properly

I have tried but among bugged campaigns, incomplete and others with assets not equal to the original ones I am not satisfied

assets not equal to the original ones
Is that even matter? There's no original assets in Arma 3. Imported ones aren't too original also

I explained myself wrongly, let's take this campaign as an example:

the official server list can be found here but its not very updated, https://master.bistudio.com/?page=1&count=10&game_id=3

Server Browser

Enables server owners to add their servers to the list, for users to directly connect to the servers (if they have a Steam version of the game) or to easily learn how to connect.

you can use this to browse the community server list, http://kondor.armagame.pl/

Arma 2 dlc management is weird installing the dlcs then having to run each icon to install very odd but guess that’s the old school way

gentle compass Aug 12, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Don’t have it but outdated games usually had similar installing methods so I suppose that’s the way it works

Might be I’ve decided to start with arma 3 anyways, and play the older ones at a later date possibly

Hello, I am planning to reinstall and replay some A2 solo missions/Harvest Red Campaing and DLCs - is there a mod that is recommended to improve the experience (visual/gameplay/immersion) but don't break the scripts/mission flows? Thanks in advance

sacred shale Aug 19, 2020, 4:32 PM

Probably ACE

prisma scaffold Aug 21, 2020, 1:52 AM

Arma 1 is one of the best armas.

sacred shale Aug 21, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

Best campaign. I think the added features in Arma 2 make it the best overall though.

night narwhal Aug 21, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

You mean it was the weakest of the series. It had a barebones sandbox that didn't have much even after QG was added. Retained the clunkiness of OFP controls despite being released in 2006. Had awful voice acting even when compared to Arma 2 vanilla.

#

Calling it an extended demo for Arma 2 would be far more appropriate, as Arma 2 was everything Arma 1 was meant to be.

sacred shale Aug 21, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Actually a big chunk of added features in Arma 2 were from original Arma mods: warfare and high command being the biggest ones.

#

Also, the first aid stuff.

jade aspen Aug 22, 2020, 8:38 PM

remote sage Aug 23, 2020, 9:04 PM

Animation in A1 really bad!

turbid glen Aug 25, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

The decision to convey the story through news reports made Sahrani Conflict a lot better than it otherwise would be

The progress of the battle is really well represented too and the dynamic difficulty is something to be respected

#

I hated A3's one man army approach with Kerry. The AAF and CSAT's motivations are paper thin compared to the far more complex CHDK/RU and SLA.

Not to mention lack of coop lol which is a big step back from A2. Even the system they introduced in Apex isn't as good as the medical modules.

I think Arma 2 strikes the perfect balance between clunk, realism, balance and difficulty. Fights feel fair and the damage system is simple but just works. Only real silly moment in it is grenades and grenade launchers and how awful they are to use.

night narwhal Aug 25, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Eh, auxiliary missions were nice but the lack of a main protagonist made it feel like a bunch of showcases strung together.

#

OA was like this too but at least you had Drake for the most part rather than Porter narrating only for cutscenes.

#

Worst offender would be Silver Lion. To this day I'm not sure why BI even bothered to make Kouba the protag when you don't even control him for the latter half of the campaign.

fiery zephyr Sep 27, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Arma 2 didn't really have much in the way of uniform customisation. If a unit had a blaclava it was usually modelled as a head in the uniform itself

#

You might have had someone try it with glasses but it wouldn't have worked well since glasses slot objects didn't animate to mouth movement etc. so would have a lot of clipping

Steam doesn't work right, but I got a build of last version that properly shows in server browser and that you can atleast 50% connect to. It just gets stuck at connecting

#

Should be easy to fix I guess. But don't have the time

sounds promising at least, appreciate that you're touching it at all

@stuck dirge you have arma 2?

Yup

#

@stuck dirge do you do warfare ?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

I don't play it anymore

#

It's very hard to go back to Arma 2 after Arma 3

#

Try OFP though 😉

midnight wave Oct 29, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

btw nevermind,i did shit better

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Are the older arma games worth it (I already have arma 3)?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Arma 2 has nice campaigns but the gameplay is outdated

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

and if so, which ones?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Arma 1 imho is the weakest link

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

but is arma 2 (semi) active and fun?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

But curiously enough I would recommend you Arma: cold war crisis

#

Which is the oldest one

#

If you can brave the graphics, it's pretty neat and there's gazillions of mods

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

I can't find that one on steam

#

I can only find cold war assault

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Sorry

#

Cold war assault it is

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

ooh

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

It got renamed and I got it mixed up

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

it's not even 1€

#

aye I'll get it

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

But I can recommend it, it goes on sale for unuder 1 euro essentially 😄

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

great

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

The grandfather of Arma

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

what about 2 and operation arrowhead?

#

are they fun and (semi) active

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

I haven't touched it in some time so I'm not sure about how many people are active

#

The game is fun

#

But the gameplay is basically same as Arma 3, but with less polish, responsiveness and quality of life :/

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

ah

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

Which makes it hard to go back to retrospectivelly

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

which one is better between 2 and operation arrowhead?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Someone commented that 'Running around in Arma 2 feels like your character has a washing machine strapped to their helmet' and imho that's really fitting 😄

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

what are the tanks like?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Arma 2 is less realistic in vanilla

#

Arrowhead is a standalone expansion for it that adds a lot more realistic flavor

#

Such as subsystems damage on vehicles or thermal sights

#

It's also set in the middle east while vanilla Arma 2 is set in the pseudo caucasus

#

If you own both, the games fold into one and you have all the content in one

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

I see

#

so is it worth getting one of them?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

That's the hard question

#

I would say - SUBJECTIVELLY - only for the singleplayer content

#

The campaigns are ok and can be quite charming

#

But it doesn't really do anything Arma 3 doesn't do better :/

#

And you can even find the campaigns ported over on Workshop

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

I see

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

But I'm looking at the prices and damn

#

You can have both A2 and Arrowhead (the Combined operations package) for 4 euros

#

For that price it's solid I suppose, worst case you can refund it on steam within 14 days and 2 hours of gameplay

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

hmm

#

I'm thinking about getting them just for the tanks

#

but idk if it's worth it

#

(I'll get cold war though)

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Are you interested in anything special?

#

Like, a specific tank?

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

not really

#

MBTs I guess

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

If you're into tanks I recommend Arma 3's Global mobilization cDLC

#

It's vehicles are absolutely superior, as well as its terrain which is sort of geared towards vehicles

#

It also has several singleplayer and multiplayer tank missions

#

Oh, that reminds me - Arma 3 tank gameplay is also superior to Arma 2 since the Tanks DLC

#

Since tanks now should have better armor simulation

#

In Arma 2 it's more basic

#

Or, well, comparable to Arma 3 at launch

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

ah

#

so

#

to conclude

#

get cold war assault

#

don't get 2 or arrowhead

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Maybe stick around and see if anyone else has any suggestions

#

I would hate to give you bad advice 😄

#

For me, Arma 2 got really outdone by Arma 3

#

Plus it has a weird blurry "realistic" filter of sorts

#

But thing is, it's not a bad game in it's own right at all

#

And since you can get pretty much anything from Arma 2 (maps, assets, even campaigns) in Arma 3 for free through mods....

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

I see

#

thanks for the help thoguh

#

*though

#

but cwa is good, right?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Its outdated, it's ugly and it's my number 1 game of all time😄

thorny vine Oct 29, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

fair enough

#

is the multiplayer active by any chance?

stuck dirge Oct 29, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Multiplayer is dead because gamespy

#

But I think there's a community in Poland that maintains a server through some black magic

not sure

depends on the game

cedar lintel Nov 11, 2020, 7:16 PM

Well only some the animations are choppy

Like, the intro where the CDF is making a last stand, the 2 soldiers that's going to cover kind of walked in a lagging fashion while the environment behaves naturally

Just a quick question about Arma 2. The penetration of a projectile is calculated with the values "caliber", "initspeed", and "material". But concerning the "hit" value, does it only have an influence on the "armor" value? In this case, this "armor" value is nothing other than the life points of the vehicle?

fiery zephyr Nov 23, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

Same calculations exist in Arma 2 and Arma 3: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Damage_Description#Damage_Formula

Arma 3 Damage Description

#

In short, yes, armor is either the global amount damage from ammo "hit" that vehicle can take before it is destroyed, or an individual localised hitpoint can take before it is destroyed

Is it normal that the B_545x39_Ball and some other in Arma 2 define a tracer, but that they do not appear in game? The standard magazine does not contain any, which is normal, but the 45 round magazine of the RPK-74, the 75Rnd_545x39_RPK defines "tracersEvery = 4;" but there is no tracer in game

There are no bipods in Arma 2. The functionality is only available if you're running ACE2, in which case you just tap the keybind you defined in ACE's settings if you're on the ground or rested above a flat surface/object.
