can we get a show of hands of people who are keen on an ArmA team

we have a great platform here and some dedicated players

i would like to see this go beyond causal games

so im looking at how many are keen and if we have some numbers hit up the bosses and see if its cool to start a team up

Yeah I'm all for it.

I think we need to define our goal here. What do we want to achieve and what game types and style do you like. Need to go over availability again. Whether you want public game-play, private co-op matches, Team vs Team matches, etc. Find out who's willing to organise things regularly. What contacts we've got. Who knows how to set-up a dedicated server session (if needed).

We'd also need some sort of official player list with contact methods (buddy list web site, x-fire, etc). Whether you want TeamSpeak and which TS servers to use. Also what you're hoping for in missions in future. Whether anyone's into editing.

I'll post up something clearer on this soon.

Just starting to ramp up on AA - am an old OFP player so just getting used to the new crappy flight model!

Count me in for any scrims.

jeansy · 7th May 2007, 08:43 AM

Full name is Armed Assualt, basically a newer version of Operation Flashpoint.

Hell yeah! I'm in. I'm the chopper pilot of course

Well, if bagging posis, Im the SAW guy

Jeans, for the purpose of numbers I see no problem with promoting ourselves as 'mercs' to the bigger clans, maybe we could join with another small squad as well. OGN and XGN have comps in the works, XGN more then OGN, who seem to be oriented more to regular large scale coops on passworded servers. Maybe we should keep our eyes on their forums ( Im allready on that) and sieze an opportunity when it happens. Most of us TOG guys have played enough now to be known as mature players who do the right thing, I dont think we will have too many problems sorting something for ourselves until we actually have enough numbers to field a full side.

Urgal1, Arma is a military sim, huge in scope, very realistic, run and gun means death very quickly.

Went out and got a copy this afternoon...

Will have a look at it, but from reading and looking at the screen shots I think it may drag some of my attention away from RO.

I will let you know if I am in or out after getting a bit of game play.
