If you're looking to play multiplayer and don't want/care about commitment etc., try RPS Tactical Tuesday, link here.

If you want to play but don't want to sign up to join a community or anything, United Operations.

You have to download a whole bunch of mods in order to play but it's pretty sweet assuming it hasn't gone to hell in the last few months. They seem to be very busy hosting some Day Z servers >_>

ACE and ACRE make the game much different.

Here's a nice little video they made that might motivate you =p

ShackTac is a great organization, I played with them for a few months and they play arma exactly how I like to. But unfortunately my job doesn't allow me to commit to playing every Saturday.

Yeah I've been meaning to jump into either ST or UO for a while now, I'll probably get into UO soon, or something, though ST looks just as fun even if it's a bit more serious. Is it a pain in the ass to like get signed up and start playing with either group?

[Ozyton]

There is no 'signing up' for UO, you just download the mods, get on teamspeak, and join the server.

If you don't have teamspeak you won't be able to hear anybody, since it uses ACRE.

Aren't their servers locked?

[Ozyton]

Aren't their servers locked?

In order to get the passwords you need to join their teamspeak. Once you're in teamspeak you'll see the passwords for the servers in the description for some of the channels. They do this to ensure people actually have teamspeak and ACRE before trying to join =p

So while the servers are locked, so to speak, it's still public play.

Oh, man, played this for 7 hours today, flying in the armory in the su-25 and Harrier, oh man, this game can be played almost exactly like Ace Combat

...I really need to buy this game

[head]

I really recomend joining on the RPS TT's as posted above.

No signs up required, no mods , just join mumble ontime and setup CC if you wish to lead a ft/element or command (thread can be found in the ARPS sub forum)

No silly ranks its open for everyone.

For anyone looking at 40% discount on Steam and wanting to play DayZ...

DO NOT buy ARMA2 for DayZ. Why?

'Day Z' going standalone in September, adopting 'Minecraft' model.

Before DayZ got overhyped, it was on 50% and 75% before.

[Ozyton]

This makes me sad for ARMA 2 and ARMA 3... and for Bohemia Interactive.

As a potential buyer (well, bargain hunter), I am too. But this genre is rare so I am glad they're making big bucks out of it. Hopefully more games of this type will sprout out in the market because the sales figure at that price is an obvious sign that demand has been strong.

It shows there's demand for Day Z, not for ARMA 2.

...as much as I would like an ARMA-type game with a new engine that isn't from ~2001 [EDIT: ... that doesn't suck]

[Putnam]

Meh. I really couldn't care much less about Day Z I want to buy Arma 2 for... every other mod!

[Thendash]

I hope this shows companies that modability is a seller.
