Want to play ArmA2/OA at a decent UK/EU friendly time? Then look no further!

19.00 UK/20.00 CET this Sunday will be the first try out of the first SimHQ European time-zone ArmAII/OA Multiplayer (SEAM). We will hold the first one this coming Sunday (18th July). We will meet up on the SimHQ TS server at 18.50 to give enough time to set up.

I know the day/time might not work for everyone but if there is enough interest we could try another weekday night as per the official sessions. Alternatively if no-one turns up then we might switch to a different day/time altogether.

The details

Day/Time

7pm UK/8pm CET Sundays

Other

Not sure what maps etc we will try out but I'll come up with a decent idea before Sunday.

Also, as per the SimHQ etiquette, I am keen on playing with others who have a 'basic military idea' what to do (but then I dont need to tell you that, right?!) rather than FPS addicts. I'm a bit green myself and eager to learn too!

Hope to see you there!

Will do my best to be available!

Too busy this month but from the end of August onwards I'd be happy to join in! Thanks for the effort neilydone!

Sorry, can't make it -I am away at RIAT.

But will attend the next.

Have fun.

neilydone, or any of you guys who need pointers or advice on doing ArmA admin tasks, or our missions, send me a PM. I'm glad to help.

All the best with the event!

Are North American players allowed to participate too?

of course

Although I am happy to act as co-ordinator I know naff all about actually playing ArmAII really, so we will need all the help we can get!

I have plans for tomorrow evening so I don't think I can make it, but will try to be on next weekend.

Gonna try to be there this sunday. I won't be able to make it the next few weeks because of the holidays. But hope that this sticky will be a good start to get a regular meeting point when the holidays are over!

I am a complete newbie to ArmA 2. I have had it for what seems like an age but the difference between it and a standard run a gun FPS has floored me everytime that i have tried it.

I love the thought of a "sim" military game (which is why i bought it initially)but should i try and get used to the game mechanics offline before joining any multiplayer party or do you think i could pick it up enough to not get in the way on a Sunday evening?

Myrig.
