use JSRS instad
Don't crucify me, please, but I've never really played ArmA and I'm going to get it for 6$ in two days time and I wonder how much time does it take to get a grip of this thing? Is it really as hard as people say it is?
Depends. I tend to play something that does not require me to use anything that can kill people (read: my own team). Medics are always needed I guess.Quote:

Last month there was Resident Evil 5, Mythos, Sam & Max ep1 and GT Racing and the month before Torchlight etc.Quote:

The thing where it becomes different is the Do it Yourself approach Arma more or less needs. There's some missions included by default, but they re not very special. There's, however, tons of stuff avialable to play with. You just need someone to put that stuff to use. That's, for example, ARPS.
Can we please play that mission with the inkspots intro again, Grizzly has a beautiful singing voice and I enjoyed being serenaded.Quote:

I would, but I cant remember the name of the mission. It had an awesome music intro and was named something like hinds and alligators. Bot times we tried enemies spawned in the base and kamikazed the helicopters we were supposed to protect. It may have been possible but you need to be aware from the start and able to take out the helicopters almost instantly, then move quickly to support the MI-8s so they dont get AA hitting them.Quote:

The one with The Inkspots wasn't Hinds and Alligators.
No, I was adding the hinds and alligators one to the spreadsheet because we tried it twice and it ended in mission failure, even when we knew what was coming.Quote:

- The minimum for play on the RPS server is ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead. However, it is highly reccommended that you own Combined Operations (both the original ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead) as it is necessary for a large number of our missions.
- ArmA 2 is not the impenetrable clusterfudge of a game that some people make it out to be. At first, the controls list can seem daunting; but once you get the basics from the in built tutorials - i.e general movement, aiming and using the scroll wheel action menu - you should be fine to hop on to multiplayer and join us.
- If there's anything you don't understand whilst playing, or you get cut off/left behind by the main force, don't be afraid to speak up. We don't bite... mostly.
- We aren't a super hardcore elite bunch of players. You won't hear anyone saying that they're "Oscar Mike" or somesuch nonsensical bollocks. Not there that there wont be any nonsensical bollocks, but that's just Alex.
I hope that's cleared a few things about us up a bit... If you have any other questions, then this is the place to ask, as someone far more knowledgeable than me will likely be able to answer them.
Edit: I should also note that the best way to find people playing ArmA and join in is probably the RPS steam group chat.
Edit Edit: This is really late but:
