RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 After losing most of our members, we decided to shut down the Tactical Operations Squad. I've become interested in ArmA II and I'll have my copy tomorrow. I'm hoping to start a clan for the game after I get some experience. I'll be going by my real name, GReeves, over at the Bohemia Interactive forums. Thanks for all the support towards my team, mods, and activity around here. Maybe I'll release the TacOpSquad Mod as a reminder of who we were, what we did, and where we went. Captain 9ECHO a.k.a RileyFletcher_01, out.

RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 can nOOBs join you in ArMa2? Yeah, but cat pictures aren't allowed on our server Needs moar ARMA III. From what I've read, ArmA 3 is being designed to cater team vs team players. That's why I bought ArmA II instead of waiting for III. when I've got this new PC up and running I'll join you in a few games mr Greeves. if you ever need a Pilot, holler! Ugh, every day since I signed up here I regretted using my Rainbow Six profile name "Riley Fletcher".....I would have changed it but everyone already knew me as Riley Can't wait to see you in the field.

RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Will do. I'm aiming for a "tactical precision" type squad -- only implementing real military concepts when they actually enhance gameplay or effectiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 when I've got this new PC up and running I'll join you in a few games mr Greeves. if you ever need a Pilot, holler! Piloting aircraft in game is fun.... until those enemy LMAOSHILKA's shoot down your ROFLCOPTER with spray and pray from halfway across the map.

Oelmuvun Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) riley, apparently ARMA III beta starts June 25th. they are adding more stuff of course and they are also increasing the price by 10 euros for duration of the beta, then to full for final version. (purchases during alpha get beta and final versions) So heads up! Edited June 12, 2013 by Oelmuvun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat50 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Arma 2 and Arma 3 are very similar when it comes to scripting missions. The mission editors are similar but there are improvements and new scripting commands in 3. If you're familiar with scripting in Arma 2, going to 3 will not be a big learning curve. There are many tutorials for 2 and 3 on YouTube and the below link is a good resource too. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Main_Page Edited June 12, 2013 by wombat50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Loving the game so far. Started out falling the training course, crashing a few billion dollar helicopters, and getting wiped out in my own little mission..... all in a day's work. Alex, after I start my team you should probably sign on as a pilot pretty quickly, cause the captain loves flying even though I'm pathetic at it lol. You should have seen me grin when I figured out how to start the engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oelmuvun Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If starting those engines made you excited then you should try DCS Black Shark! (actually, get blackshark2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabellum Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Loving the game so far.

You should have seen me grin when I figured out how to start the engines. Riley, I think you should check out ArmA III. It's head-and-shoulders above ArmA 2, and in my opinion, MP is just as much fun, if not more so. Good to have you in the Armaverse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Having a blast with the editor. I've got a mission where you start on the carrier off Utes with an entire platoon who can be flown in by helicopter, supported by F-35s and Apaches. Very interesting.

wombat50 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Mr Murray's Arma Editing guide in pdf. Written for Arma but most of the commands and scripts work in Arma 2. Always a good starting place. In the neighborhood of 200 pages. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=4847 SwissMAVERICKS's YouTube Arma 2 tutorials Jester814's YouTube Arma 3 tutorials. No guarantees that these will apply completely to Arma 2. There are allot fewer character models in Arma 3 but many options to outfit them. Dslyecxi's YouTube channel. Not too many tutorials on the editor but allot of good content. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtIBkKQD1u7asfuRsqSLvYQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twcrash Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 if your gonna use a community guide dyslexci's is by far the best in town. Check out his youtube channel. BIS has used him to build their A3A videos as well. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtIBkKQD1u7asfuRsqSLvYQ Seawolves has played this from the old OFP days. Good choice if your moving on. ArmA 3 is pretty amazing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've already read Dyslexci's guide, even when I was playing Ghost Recon still I found it when I was searching for small unit tactics to use in my GR clan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twcrash Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I have a friend Tvig who has built a mission called Urban Conquest. Definitely check it out. It is kinda like BF2 style play but very fun. Also I don't know if you have played Lightspeeds Ghost Recon for ArmA 2 but it's a beast and as a die hard GR player I would say it's mandatory as well. Also today I got an email and Goood Old Games (GOG.com) is having ArmA series on sale. Everything for 13 bucks!!! I think ArmA 2 Combined Operation is like 8 dollars by itself.So I would definitely drop 13 bucks to get ArmA 2,ArmA Gold and ArmA Cold War Assault **NOTE*** crap only 1 hr left on that sale HURRY!!!!!

RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 My new little group for ArmA II: Combined Operations is in need of some members. Doesn't matter how skilled you are or what your preference is as far as ground or air combat -- as long as you enjoy using realistic tactics as a team, you're welcome to join. http://ca-strike-team.webs.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
