    The amount of players playing on the Gameservers.ie test server seems to be dwindling a little (well, except for Max, he's pitched a tent in the base), so I'm starting a thread to find out exactly what people would like to play and take it from there. Can be anything, coop, cti, custom missions etc any mission, I want everyones opinion on this pls as I'd like to replace the default mission but I'm not sure what people want.

    My preference is for some infantry battles with air/arty support. Not a big fan of the open map games. Considering the numbers on the server there's bound to be some more structured missions for <12/16 players

    Course there is, we've played some, We were soldiers, Where's Waldo, Insurgency airfield etc. I'm looking for more suggestions like these, loads of them here. Any other missions Ye guys have played and enjoyed online? Or better still anyone have a play with the editor?

    I love making mission in the editor, can be a pain in the bollocks though as something may work perfectly when you test them on your own but they randomly stop working when your testing it with other people. At least in ArmA 1 that is.


    Btw I just read this, looks interesting : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=83438

    Read well into that thread the other day, looks great but no respawns means it would piss some people off. I'd like to have a go though.

    Join in, all are welcome, and get on mumble its the easiest way to ask questions on how the game works, we'll help You along. Skilless went from very frustrated to marksman in 2 days, he didn't enjoy it at first but now it really excites him.

    Even if You've no mic get on mumble as You'll hear us, its quite annoying having one person to type to in the game, but if You can hear us well thats half the battle.

    Skilly's inverted chopper flying was by all accounts, impressive.
