my question is, were do i start? i did the infantry and armor basic's but when i go join a server. its just Russians speaking! that or i get kicked for just joining (admin kicked, not high ping) is it cause i only have arma 2 free version? im still trying to figure out if i should buy it or wait till arma 3.
i play battlefield 2 project reality alot. i know its nothing like arma but id like to join the arma community!

That means you had entered Russian server , you can check what language version do they use in settings below server list. When you click on a server , it will listed all the information about the server itself
No, ArmA II Free version are not related to make you getting kicked by the server .

Just found this , 1-1 A should means Alpha team but why is it named Delta instead as well 1-1 D named Alpha, is it a bug ?

And I went inside the chopper as door gunner but in Map and then Unit, I was as crew chief , is it a bug as well ?

Sorry too many asking, I need to spend more time in multiplayer mode in order to learn it fully

I have ArmA2, and will like to ask for a "randomization" program or tip. I will explain myself.

- Imagine I'm in a mission, I will love to patrol an area and found the enemy everytime I play in a different place.

-Flying extraction missions in a chopper, getting calls from allied units on different places in the map.

Is that possible? Thanks.

Browse through armaholic or this forum under Completed user mission thread, use keyword "dynamic" in your search.

Dynamic mission have high replay value with everything randomize by th emission each tim eyou start the mission again.

I'm on the third mission and I've successfully taken out the sniper, but no I have to go after the HVT and I've started noticing that my team never really follows me. I'll go forward to the objective and stop and turn around and my team is like 50 meters back moving at a snails pace. I've tried putting them up to SAFE combat mode but they are still moving super slow. I just want my team to stick on me at all times.

Make sure they are not set to prone, if that's the case. Give them order to follow my stance. Safe order will not change the prone command position. You will need to reorder the stance regardless or danger level.

New question about ARMA 2: PMC and BAF:

How big is Shapur and Proving Grounds? Is it the same size as the PMC Lite and BAF Lite Shapur and Proving Grounds?

The difference between Lite version and full is the model texture quality. Lite will have low texture on your models. For eg. the PMC black SUV will have low resolution model. It lets you join missions that require PMC units but it wont look so nice n spiffy.

Team names usually defined by the mission maker, so you need to ask the particular mission maker about it.

Crew chief is for one side of the chopper gunner and gunner is for the opposite side.

I forgot left or right.

I had been banned recently
first , got kicked , on second attempt to enter the room , got banned.
Why I got banned ? I don't think had something wrong in that room before, and is this banned permanent ?
The room or server that banned me is Dynamic zombie , forgot the exact name of the server

there's a large influx of new arma 2 player lately due to the dayz mod, so expect a lot of loud and obnoxious COD kids in arma 2.

Dont behave like one of them or you will be kicked or banned. You have to appeal at their server moderator on their website if you want them to lift the ban.

Be polite, dont use caps lock, spamming fo attention and be nice, Arma 2 consist of mostly mature players and they usually dont tolerate childish behavior in their server.

eh perhaps too high ping make me got banned ?
No, I never do such annoying behaviour like you describe, I play ArmA II for serious gaming not for ruining other player game .
But thank you , at least now I know what to do and not to do in future
eh, this ban will be forever unless I talk to the server moderator or it can expired later , so what I need to do is just waiting perhaps ?
