Battlegroup-=XTRA=- (Recruiting!)

Recommended Posts

Who we are (historic):

Battlegroup-XTRA- is a mainly European game group that was formed a long time ago during the days of Battlefield1942. Playing Desert Combat most of the time we were part of a large community that specialized in this modification and counted about 25members during this era. The NoFlyZoneCTF mission and Berlin map where most famous on our 24/7 running usually fully populated server. Where Berlin served as a street-war mission setting to “stand on the ground†for once every so often and NoFlyZoneCTF was almost purely air mayhem. A few years ago most of us migrated to Battlefield 2 and have played this game for quite a while until most of us started doing other things (PS3, COD4, HL). Desert Combat provided one of the best gaming experiences out there to my opinion and we would like very much to get that old feeling back with the new Arma2 . And for this we need your help!!

Who we are (present day):

Now many years later with the introduction of Arma2 some of the old members got back together to try this game and after some testing came to the conclusion that it was a great game. Because A2 had a lot of bugs and CTD’s when it was released we have gotten off to a slow start but our community is growing once again and more old members are coming back to play with us like in the old days, but this time with a brand new game. The EVO and Domination missions are among our favourites but we are working on our own mission pack that will be upgraded until it reaches satisfaction for everyone. If you like Teamplay, Hardcore gaming and tactical settings this is the place to be.

Where also active in the field of warfare missions + tournaments, the great 'Insurgency' mission and are not afraid ot test a new mod every once in a while

It comes with great delight that i can inform you about the 60th Arma2 player (-=XTRA=-Grethe) registered here at Battlegroup-=XTRA=-. We of -=XTRA=- started this Arma2 international community almost two years ago at July 2009 with just Petrovsky, Oeroeboeroe and me trying out this new military simulator and it has been growing ever sinds. At that time the game was very hard to fully enjoy due to all of the game issues and mission bugs that resulted in a game and server crash roughly every so many hour. But the beauty of the models and Russian scenery was so amazing to look at even back then that we kept on supporting this great title. In-between then and now the game has evolved into an breath taking scene where tons of homemade missions and hundreds of user made mods can be used to create almost every scenario you can think of. The game engine has been adopted by a couple of large defence forces around the world including the US, Canada, Australia -armies and the Dutch Police force amongst others in the form of Bohemia's licensed non-commercial Virtual Training Simulator 2 (VTS2 @ 1500$ /each).

04fc27ee2b3dc28a7e7ebd1a.jpg

The website counter is currently stuck at 252 registered members and almost one fourth of those members have applied to join our ranks in this 3D mayhem universe. The game itself is now close to being bug free and the mission we so proudly host called "Evolution BLUE" has reached a stable and fully functional status some time ago. We currently host 3 game servers for both Arma2 and Combined operations together with a TeamSpeak3 server and have added a new FTP server last week that we can use to share files with you. Our next goal is to make you some more missions for everyone to enjoy, double our -=XTRA=-Arma2 member list, and setup an 80 slots server to host some massive online carnage.

Because of the system resource hungry BIS game engine that only seems to likes high-end systems, because of real life situations, heavy workload and because of the big time difference between some players time zones (hosted in Amsterdam & Slovakia) not all players are able to attend on a regular basis but together with the guests on our servers we have been able to reach the top of the Arma2 server inventory many of times and we will continue to do so in the future. Within our beloved team of Arma2 players we have gathered a group of devoted mission editors, scripter’s, movie makers and strategy specialists that try to make the best out of this awesome simulator that has not yet seen the limits of its abilities.

August last year BIS has released Operation Arrowhead and together with Arma2 these form the legendary "Combined Operations" gamebundel where all object can be used in both available worlds (Chernarus & Takistan) as long as both games are loaded at the same time or installed in the same folder. Just a few weeks ago BIS has also released an upgrade package containing the BAF and PMC forces (British Armed Forces and Private military Company) to be at your disposal.

We have had our share of problems with outsiders, insiders, hackers, cheaters and exploiters like any other clan or gaming community in the business. But all taken in account this is roughly 1% of all players you see on the servers. The other 99% are serious gamers and defence force specialists who applaud for our ways of server management and availability. We of -=XTRA=- here also like to thank everyone who has ever played an honest game with us and had just as great a time as we did....Thanks to you all!

Battlegroup-=XTRA=- had also recently had to suffer the loss of our beloved clan leader (clan morron as he would describe it) and initiator of Battlegroup-=XTRA=- -=XTRA=-Rodger.That ......He will be missed by many! If you would like to express your feelings please take the liberty to leave a message in the topic that has been devoted to him found : HERE in the forum Finally we have to thank Bohemia Interactive Software for making us this great game and a big thanks goes out to -=XTRA=-Oeroeboeroe for devoting all his spare time in developing and maintaining this great website!

Update:

Much has changed over the last few months. Battlegroup-=XTRA=- was besides the work on the Dutch ArmA2 mod almost extinct & forgotten by most. But with the adoption of all ex GITS hardcore ArmA fans we have started a new era in time. One that will bring each gamer a solid and technically correct build up game and many of hand crafted mod for all the ArmA fans to enjoy.

We are now the proud team that bring you massive mods like:

Dutch Armed Forces (currently only Arma2)

BAF-X (British Armed Forces -Expanded for ArmA2)

Unsung Vietnam Experience (ArmA2)

Also the XTRA missions should not be overlooked:

XTRA EVO BLUE / RED COOP (ArmA2)

XTRA Domination COOP (ArmA3)

Currently we have a massive amount of highly dedicated and able modders all working together to achieve one single goal: To enhance the Arma experience for all. Besides that we also host a quad of servers for you and us to play on were everyone can field-test and practice your COOP & Arma skills.

So there is plenty of cool stuff for every Arma modder or player and fan to do at Battlegroup-=XTRA=- that you might want to participate in. If this sounds like you? If you like to play together (COOP) or make a mod for Arma we are the people to see!
