This Thursday I will be running a special session of the new Counterinsurgency gametype at 8 EST as usual, until whenever. We'll be focusing on testing and finding bugs -- although I have checked it out pretty closely on local dedicated server, there are always issues that appear. If Counterinsurgency breaks hilariously we'll run missions instead, but I have a lot of confidence in it.

Any number of players are welcome -- the mission scales from 1 to 24 with more enemies. I will be there with Devcon running so that I can correct any critical failures, though I don't expect any.

If you don't like Evo/Domination type gameplay, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY COUNTERINSURGENCY. This is a totally different experience, and I've worked quite hard to make it feel like you aren't playing a dynamic scenario, but one carefully crafted for every single engagement. There's a lot more action and lot less stand-off fighting before you actually move into the town. In many ways, it is more realistic, more tense, and more engaging than even some of my best canned missions.

I'm in.

I play Arma just so I can counter something, or anything.

I am gonna try to make it to this. I've never played on the SimHQ server before, but have wanted to for a long time, but the nights usually don't work for me, but I think I'm going to try to pull some strings to make sure I'm home Thursday night.

i'm in!

damn man. you are awesome. i'll try to make it. been a while playing arma. been busy

fun mission tao, few niggles but nothing game breaking ... and i didnt die once

Good show all, hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I was pleased with the relative lack of bugs, other than the game-slowing lack of fast travel.

Please post comments/bugs/feature reqs in the new thread on this board.

See you next week for a return to classic Tactical Thursday with missions. Perhaps we will organize another Counterinsurgency night next week though.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I finally got DCS A-10 and I was learning how to blow up stuff. Tao, lets meet up on there tomrrow if you are free.

I'll have some time after 9-10 EST. Let me know.

I forgot to post back after the session, but that's a nice mission Tao.

As for the question on TeamSpeak3: Yes it is mandatory for listening in, at minimum. Once we get under way with proper MM and TT sessions in 2012, any player connecting during one of these sessions without TS will need to start it, or disconnect download and install if necessary and rejoin.
