Thread: Do people still play public MP?

  1. #1

    Do people still play public MP?

    It seems most of the big servers have been being constantly attacked by script injections in the past week that it really isn't worth playing anymore.. does anybody still play large scale MP?

    I really hope so zamani532. I downloaded the Demo today to check this game out. I am definitely buying asap. If you would like to play, I'm down. However, be forewarned I am a ArmA noob so green it's blinding. But I am willing to learn and do listen to orders.

    I am relatively new to PC gaming, finally have PC that can handle games with ease. I have played a bit of AA3, however, I grew tired of it quickly. Not the large scale I was looking for. And after 3 hours of ArmA, this game blows AA series out of the water.

    Military Tact FPS I have loved over the years, console gaming:

    Ghost Recon series (original up to GR2, GRAW ruined the series for me)
    Full Spectrum Warrior
    MAG (PS3 only)

    Apologies if this was long winded.

    Yeah we've got 80 players each evening on Project Reality mate, its large scale PvP so its enjoyable, we also have other servers (thats RGG) but not as active really.

    The reason for the heavy attacks is because everyone is using DayZ and DayZ only supports windows which a lot of server hosts have no idea how to protect, which allows for heavy attacks on the box as its easy to pick up unaltered ports and unchanged passwords or administrator name.

    Linux on the other hand cant really be attacked as much because you cant just find a script to attack it with, therefore no ordinary disgruntled person can attack it.

    this is not a linux vs windows comment its mostly the fact that theres 101 linux servers out there waiting for the patch who are for the majority focused on public gameplay which isnt just DayZ.

    But anyway im going to get back to my lag free gameplay

    If you are talking about the RGG PR server, u need to install PR:A2 0.15 and update the Praa.exe (to be compatible with OA 1.62);

    http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f440...-praa-exe.html

    Check from gametracker (or my sig) when there are 50+ players in the server:

    technically they do, but all you'll find is domination/insurgency on takistan. if you want to play actual missions you'll probably have to find a dedicated community, like shacktactical or unitedoperations.

    Public MP is alive and well. The "Sciddies" are ruining DayZ server instead.

    Every midday and evening there is a domination server with ACE mod running around 30 - 40 people. Filter on "flanks" and you will find the server.

    I haven't noticed any decrease in numbers, if anything, more are playing. The noob irritation factor is slightly higher as people don't know how to play and break the rules. Sometimes 1 or 2 hackers but the number is decreasing as more and more are banned (lol @ the ones who impersonate moderators here). Only noticed 2 this weekend - some server admins really need to do their homework on allowing addons. Unfortunately most of the more experienced players only play on locked servers so noobs can't learn how good Arma2 can be.

    Not really, there are plenty of them on the domi server too. Depending on the server, a new hacker pops in every 30 minutes or so. The '24Platoon' (I think it was called) server I was on today had one hacker after the other blowing up the bases and killing everyone constantly.
