We used the ARMA group channel and only squad leaders used TS. Do you not do ARMA online anymore, Magnum?

Ironically, there have been plenty of times after you pretty much gave up that we've had 10 or fewer playing. That of course led to the mods getting bigger since there were fewer people to worry about getting all the mods right. Speaking of, some of us had a good laugh the other night when some were having mod issues, trading a few "Mag would be SOOO pissed" comments. The Jedi Master

I still love blowing up towers.  We actually blew up a very LARGE tower in the campaign mission last night. All around very nice gameplay. I was happy to see good team work most of the time, too. Just a time or two I spotted a straggler from my team, but they'll learn when they find themselves taking fire and too far from the team for support.  One time my fire team was doing it right was when that M-113 reappeared and was charging us. I gave a frantic call for "AT! Up Up Up!" while running and drawing it's fire, and IcePick was right there with the AT4 to finish off the threat and save the day.

As long as you don't end up with me as your squad leader. Then misery ensues but at least your widow gets a ham.

I was probably the straggler there Adlabs! Sorry if I made any faux pas'!
I'm definitely planning to get on this as a regular thing, so if anybody sees me making any stupid mistakes I won't take any offence being called out on them! A large amount of the time I felt like I was following the fight but I slowly started to wrap my head around the way things unfolded.
My highlight was being pinned down by arty in a building with TankerWade, barely able to hear him over the explosions, just able to make out "ARE YOU HAVING FUN?" Hell yeah I was! Sadly we both died shortly after when the compound was raided. Looking back however I realise that I was stacked up behind him on the wall, and therefore unable to provide many effective shots. If I was on the other side I could have provided more suppressing fire, but these are the kinds of things I need to work on!
Are SS and MM the two regular days or are there any other games on frequently?

This thread is dead so I am probably wasting my time here. But I'd like to say to anyone still out there that this was the FIRST time I every really enjoyed ARMA. I've played both the Takistan and Chenarus campaigns and they were OK, certainly visually impressive coming, as I do, from the flight sim world. But gameplay was mostly...meh. Last night was simultaneously exciting and controlled. Even in the first mission that ended quickly when both A-10s were taken out, comm discipline was maintained pretty well. And when it wasn't the comments were atmospheric, much like AI comments--but better. As I noob, I was lost but never completely lost. I just kept a respectful distance from my team leader and did what he said. And it never really seemed overpopulated. Tao and the other experienced players kept it tight. I found it immersive as hell. As long as everyone makes the briefing, 18-20 players of varying capabilities can still make a good co-op. Smokin, Might I recommend the Shactac HUD to download. This tool is simple yet exceptional in what it does. It shows the whereabouts of the people in your squad and their location. I feel naked without it as I sometimes lose the location of my squad. Also comes with a compass to quickly call out direction instead of having to pull up the ARMA one. Check out the link below. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9936
