[Pnut]

I'm up for some arma tonight. I'm not sure if you lot on the free version can use mods and such though.

No, we can't. Which might be a bit of a bastard.

That was a lot of fun, might be nice to tweak the mission as we used to. (ie. better rewards, a few extra toys for people to practice with blah blah)

Certainly would like it to return as a friday/saturday feature, we've been missing a proper MP timesink recently.

Indeed. I enjoyed it too, Surprisingly enough the seriousness of the game design just makes 5punkiness all the funnier.

Like my first action on loading the game:
"Oh shit, that button throws a grenade. Run!"

once i figured out the basics i thoroughly enjoyed this, ill definately be grabbing it when im paid on friday.

Was it the combined ops pack you guys said to grab to be on the same version as you lot or do i need to DLC too?

[friznit]

Just Combined Ops. You don't actually need the DLC, as you get the low res versions for free and can still play with anyone using them. Mind you, BAF units are pretty good and worth the 8 squids or so they cost. PMC otoh are rubbish.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

I managed to find a nice cheap server provider for arma, so I picked us a 10 slot server up so people can jump in and out as they like for practice and general fucking about.

All being well we'll get a tweaked version of domi running with some nice tweaks like we used to have, but still arma free compatible.

Server info to follow.

[buzzmong]

Awesome, cheers Berk!

[Dog Pants]

I suppose it'd be rude not to get Combined Ops Op Arrowhead then, since we have a server.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

It was only a tenner, and it's a plain vanilla server, so I wouldn't bother just yet.

[friznit]

I guess you'll be wanting that Domi version with some added toys?

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Please, I'll get you the info later anyway, I can't work arma servers.

[friznit]

ArmA2 as an RTS (WIP)

[Dr. kitteny berk]

I want that as the arty etc module in domi

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Dear lovely mr friz.

Things I'd like in domi:

Bikes in the base
M2 humvee/lav25 for base defence
Ineffective jets for practice (Iron bomb AV8, osprey for the lulz)

Better mission rewards, maybe kinda tiered.
Side missions:
M1A1
Cobra
Huey
A10
(possibly a LAV25, if you hate us)

Main mission:
M1A2 TUSK
Apache
AV8B (lesbian faaabulous bombs if poss)
F35 (not sure of loadouts, maybe swap with A10)

I figure that way we'll get some firepower to assault main missions fairly easily, but not get the truly epic toys without some work)

Thoughts?

[friznit]

All easy to do, playing A10 atm though so will look at it later

[Dr. kitteny berk]

No hurry anyway, server still isn't up.

[friznit]

Done.

Made a few of the other tweaks that we were used to having as well.

[buzzmong]

14 gigs. 14.

It's made me hit my daily cap two days in a row.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Just wait until you end up with sixsteam and ACE.
