No prob, Jason. Sounds like you needed the sleep! Anyway, looking forward to playing with you again one of the next times.

I dumped our entire game of Escape Altis to youtube (I usually record for nostalgia.)

Such a fun little adventure generator. When I said I thought I could hear the sea faintly to our right, it turns out that we were actually a few km from the coast.

Couple of questions to the Arma crowd here:
1) Would you want to focus on Arma 3 going forward, or is a mix of A2 and A3 okay?
2) Have any of you played the Cold War Rearmed 2 version of Everon? If we stick with A2 as an option, would it be worth adding it (and the CWR2 co-op missions) to the mix?
Just as a reminder: I'm not around this Saturday, but 16/11 should work for me.

Does CWR2 have the campaigns and whatnot working now? If so I'll probably grab it and see how it is. The original mod was pretty good, although a few campaign missions were near-impossible because of the differences in some of the lighting in OFP (OFP used static lighting in certain areas, and without it and not having NV goggles it made it near impossible to do anything at times).

I haven't tried it out yet, but it's in beta. Don't know whether that means it's feature-complete but needs to be tested and bugfixed.

A mix is all good with me, but I've wanted to play Arma 3 a lot seeing as it's all shiny and new.
I just finished Cold War Crisis today (again) and now you've made me check out CWR2. If there are ever any other mods you want to try out then I'm game.
EDIT: I tried both Resistance and Cold War Crisis campaigns and almost every mission was broken or needs tightening in some way. The AI also behaves very differently to the point where I'm not sure that the missions work well copied straight over. It would be fun to try a co-op though.

I've mentioned it before, but I'm always up for CWC and Arma 1 as well as 2 and 3. The multi in CWC is pretty solid.

I've just scheduled a game for this coming Saturday, again 4pm UK time. Everyone okay with trying some coop on Everon with Cold War Rearmed 2?
Neb on 13/11/2013 at 15:40
Sounds good to me. If you see any interesting coops on Malden and Nogova - two of the other Flashpoint islands - then don't skip them over. :D
I finished the mod campaign, and apart from a bunch of hiccups in most of the missions, it was actually highly enjoyable. The changes in AI behaviour over the series also stick out, and most of them are good.

Thirith, I uploaded the raw footage of the last mission we did, since you wanted to see it. At around 8:20 I blow my own building up and Satire saves me from the BMP. It's a big shame that your game crashed.

I'm making a small coop mission with CWR2 atm. :D There's a bonus terrain called "Saint Adam", but it's not in the original Flashpoint.
About your crash: I've just remembered - your graphics driver may have crashed. You can usually fix it by pressing left-shift + numpad-minus and then type "flush" without quotes, and no need to hit enter.
