I know some people put a lot of hard work in to their intros (I particularly like the one biking across the island to 'born to be wild'), but by the time I've sat through it the 60th time I'm starting to gnaw the edge of the table (especially when we are trying to do a COOP and someone keeps getting killed at the start). Can we have a switch at the mission selection screen to cut out the intro?

I'm sorry if this has already been posted, I couldn't see it.

YES!!!
i feel the same way!!
it's great to watch an intro, but after trying the mission 20+ times, and having to watch it every time is terrible and there should be a skip intro button or a setting in options that lets you disable cutscenes!!!!

Didn't know if there was already a reply to this one (didn't see one) but this can easily be done via scripting. There are multiple coop multiplayer maps out that have a switch at the briefing screen that allows the admin to switch between playing the intro and not... there's an .sqs file and a line item using parameter in the description.ext file.

I'm sure this would be easily integrated into OFP2... however there is a limitation of 2 parameters in OFP today, it may be possible for BIS to put in additional parameters to be used...
