I'd prefer to have a less than formal mission to avoid alienating anyone- plus, I'm not exactly a pro myself. And I want to keep it running the whole day because arranging for people to join all at once is a fool's errand.

I'll keep looking for some kind of mission like that- I have a feeling that something along those lines HAS to exist somewhere.

The vanilla Warfare mission in the original is pretty much unending unless you assault the base, because the AI on all three parties are usually too impossibly dumb to succeed in doing so on their own.

I'm not a pro neither, I just think that we'll have more fun following a mission.

MSO with plugins sounds entirely like something I'd love to try

[Falknor]

I'd be up to try MSO type missions as well.

You know what might be neat- I'm not really big on the AMRA2 community, so I don't know if anything like this already exists- but basically a persistent multiplayer sandbox.

It could be anything from a multiplayer variant of the Flashpoint missions to an elaborate capture-point based war complete with base building and AI-assigned instant missions.

Multi Session Operations (MSO) (It might be CO/OA only though)
Also, there's always Domination if you want something informal and involves shooting bad guys a lot. (Just go to the server browser, there's bound to be a server running it. Jooin it to download it. Then move it from your cache into the MP folder)

Does anybody have a list of must-have mods for standalone ArmA 2 with download links?

Most of the must-have mods apparent from the community, like CBA and ACE, seem to be updated to Operation Arrowhead and Combined Operations and none of my efforts to get any available version of them working with this copy of ArmA2St have been successful.

Armaholic

Community Base Addons (needed by several other mods, make sure you get the base plus the one for the game you have) Base Addon ARMA2 Standalone Combined Ops and Operation Arrowhead
ShacTac Fireteam Hud (Adds a little HUD to the bottom of your screen that is very useful)
ShacTac Movement (One PBO disables the annoying "sidestepping" animation you might get stuck in after running and quickly trying to strafe. The other PBO removes weapon collision with the world so you can move around walls and stuff without getting stuck inside of a doorway.)

If you're looking for multiplayer servers, if you like... well... a more immersive experience (I guess) there's always United Operations. However, even with all of the guides it is still rather difficult to get in because your addons might not be set up right and stuff.

I'm not sure if the movement mod will work with ARMA2, but the Shacktac hud should.

MSO sounds awesome. Anything else as well though. I've been messing around with PlannedAssault but it's not perfect.

[Nilocy]

On the warfare BE servers; is it common to experience serious player/model unit lag throughout?

[dogstile]

Hello golden AK, I've found you!

[PTTG??]

I'm taking a look at that now.

I'm having trouble finding a real "sandbox" type mission, so unless I learn a lot about mission editing very fast, I'll either do warfare or we'll cycle through a bunch of missions.

EDIT: Here's a couple, take a look and tell me what you think:

A Day In The Life Co-40
Air-War Over Takistan with SA-6
=RTY= Immediate Action Co-08

[Nistenf]

I vote for the first one

I actually just got Operation Arrowhead for 21.07 (don't ask how, trade secret ), so...  I'd be in for whatever, provided I'm around.
I suck, though

I picked up Arma 2 for $8 on the Steam sale this past week...I'm now wishing I'd picked up the combined pack; I'm loving this game to death.  I don't suppose there's any way to get OA without paying the extra $40 on Steam?  No sales or breaks for owners of Arma 2?

That's not cool, dude, not cool.

I would like to play domination coop with hardest level and hardest settings aswell.
That would kick arsss. And we could continue to play that when ever we want it might take few days to finish it too.

[PTTG??]

Saturday then. I'll try running a multiplayer Armory mission for a while, then we'll swap over to some multiplayer mission or another at 0100 GMT. Log in before that and we'll look around for a good mission.

Last night I did a good run from a 'My Mission' generated Combat Patrol, did a few nice objectives. Can this be done multiplayer? It seems to dynamically generate new objectives.
