ARMA2:OA - Invasion 1944

Anyone on the ARMA players here ever played this mod, this looks so freaking epic!
If not, who's in for it?





more details here: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12465

It looks good, but is apparently hard to install. Might give it a go

Also, anyone know of an easy way to disable ACRE and so forth for normal play?

I want to play this mod so much for some reason im downloading it now

Rodders, just remove the '@ACRE' from your shortcut when you start the game. How are you launching it, through addonsync? Look for ArmaII Launcher

This mod looks pretty cool. I'll download it and have a game with yas

Hmmm im having some trouble lauching this mod doesnt seem to want to launch

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" "-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@cba;@i44co" -nosplash

That is the launch parameters I have and it launches fine. Obviously point it towards your installation.

I got it working yesterday Ghost.
The manual says you have to install to the Steam\steamapps\common\ArmA 2 directory but Steam users need to install it in the Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead directory (this because the steam version creates two seperate directorys, \Arma 2 and \arma 2 operation arrowhead).

After this is done create the following shortcut:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" -mod=expansion;@CBA;@i44co

The mod is awesome! SuperB hidden and dangerous like commando/paras mission and full scale combat with shermans, panthers, planes, AT guns and lots of infantry!
Must have in my opinion!

What missions do you have Brad?

Is it standalone?

I ran it with CO, v2.5 requires CO as far as i know. Installing was super easy using the Yoma addon sync method from their armaholic page

Just the mission that come with the installer package (around 20 different missions).
Yesterday I played two commando sneaking missions.

In one of the mission you have to sneak onto an island in a rubberboat with 5 mates.
Then rendezvous with the local resistance force and after that sneak into the airfield (unnoticed or full combat) and blow up some aircraft. (which looks awesomely cool!)
This all takes place in a dark night with lots of stars!

I also did a mission where you need to guide your left alone 5 man SQ to an American outpost (5KM away!).
But after 250 meters a german sniper shot down the whole SQ....

This mod is awsome its sooooo much fun!!!

Download is offline pending update for me

Can u install this with sixupdater or do you need Yoma? Can u use both modinstallers at the same time?

You can use both at the same time, but SixUpdater will install the LATEST version of everything. UO use an old version of ACE, so you shouldn't use SixUpdater to update ACE. Yoma is very simple, and made installing this a breeze. Took like 4 clicks.

Someone correct me if im wrong

My old school comp cant even run Arma2 on the lowest graphics. It aint always cool to be old school.

Found a domination server for this mod and its awsome let me know if anyone wants to play it. We could also do some of those coop missions going.

Where can I get this from? All the places I find it are "download removed pending update"

I went pending the day after we downloaded it...to bad our 'Warfare' game was looking good yesterday! Just stay tuned I think they are fixing some stuff in the latest release... I can also look if the installer is still on my PC and pass it over to you.

BTW gonna host a server this afternoon (around 12:00 GMT) on 50Mbit (upload)... Ghost you in for it?

I quote from Moddb:
