PR:ARMA2 Training for the PR Community

[UK_Force]

OFFICIAL PROJECT REALITY EVENT

Project Reality are proud to bring our Community some official Vanilla ArmA2 training prior to the release of PR: ArmA2 v0.1.

Sponsored by:

We will be holding open training nights over the coming weeks on vanilla Arma2 for all players new to this engine.

Training will start @ 20:00 BST (UK) / 1900 PRT every Monday and Wednesday evening, for the next few weeks as we build up towards a release.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is looking to play the PR: ArmA2 Mod, from the PR: BF2 Community, and a place to get the "Basics" right prior to learning the PR style we all know.


Training will be broken down into two distinct sessions:


ArmA2 Boot Camp - This involves small group or one on one training where required / requested. The focus being on setting up Arma2 to run smooth plus a crash course on the keys, selecting weapons and shooting them.

It will also include using vehicles and basic navigation using a map & compass.

TvT Mini Missions - Small custom designed training missions usually involving attacking and/or defending objectives.
Also some cache finding and destroying missions too.
These missions will all be "Team vs Team" but will be refereed and coached. They are Basic Missions but enough to learn the ArmA2 game play.

Both sections are run at the same time by experienced Arma2 players and PR testers.

Server:
[RIP] UK Public (Teamplay enforced) server
(filter for "RIP").

TeamSpeak3 Details:
ts3.rustyinplaces.org

Although TS3 is not Mandatory - VOIP in-game will be, please be aware.


Requirements:
Arma2 Combined Ops (A2+Arrowhead).

No other mods required.

Please note that the servers will be well administrated, Team-play is enforced and we will encourage you. Leadership training is welcomed.

Our open training session will be between 20:00 BST and 22:30 BST with instructors to be on our TS3 by 19:30. the TvT session might run a bit longer into the night but basic boot camp will stop at 22:30. However, next week we will have 2 sessions, not only the Monday but on Wednesday too - same times, same score....

As for numbers....
We should happily manage 30 players on our Boot Camp and 60 on our TvT server (password available from admin). We have organised a good selection of instructors and boot camp should last about 45 mins if all goes well. For best results, please join our TS3 and talk to our training admin for getting started help. Please be aware there may be a queue to get on our public server due to interest, just be patient and you will get on.

If you are experienced in ArmA2 and wish to assist in the training, please feel free to contact:

This sounds awesome, the timing sucks though as I have a solid commitment every monday night. Will there be some weekend ones at all?

[gazzthompson]

Time to dust off the ArmA 2 disks!

[Doc.Pock]

cool. just have to buy OA

[Finrar]

Sounds great!

[foxtwofive]

Awesome I'll be there!

[K4on]

i've mapped a training obstacle course/mission. if needed, i could customize it for this event.
(but i guess you already have one)

[sharpie]

So does this mean I have to reinstall ARMA 2? Or can i do this with just OA?

[crackling]

Wow, that's perfect! Just got Arma2 about 1 week ago but I still don't get somethings, specially MP.. Will definetly try to be there!

[Olefurz]

Well, I've only got OA, does that mean that I'll have to buy The ArmA 2 to? :O

[Doc.Pock]

if you want to play PR youll need to buy it anyway so no point not buying now

[jakob1493]

sounds really good that you guys do something for the "newbies" in arma2

[v1rotate]

I really hope someone could record these sessions or make similar training videos and upload them for people who are unable to make it because of work or other commitments.

[MaxBooZe]

Im not looking for the trainining, but I sure do love some TvT scrims

[Aquiller]

Cool idea, I've bought Arma OA but rarely played it due to awful learning curve and problems with running it smoothly (and the FREAKING gloom all over the place). Will most likely be there!

Thumbs up!

[Zulnex]

Awesome idea. Will try to be there as well.

[Col.Sanders34]

Very cool. Time to dust Arma off the shelf. The learning curve was so steep and the community was just downright rude to new players (worst ive ever played with infact) that I all but gave up on it. Ive got most of the basic basics down from playing the single player but there's a ton i still need to get used too before the PR release

[AtlantisThief]

I'm totally interested in this, but I have one single problem: Will it run on my machine?
I am really interested to buy it (Money is right next to me, waiting to be spend), but after getting the demo, it runs not so well (OA and Arma2 demo).
My system: AMD Athlon X2 6000+, Ge-Force 9400GT (can OC it slightly), 4gb DDR2 Ram, Win 7 64bit, Realtek Sound (internal thing).
If someone has a similar system (or maybe even the same) and can confirm that the game runs smoothly (i dont care about the graphics tbh), i will be happy to get it and join the next training session

[Pantera]

The demos are horrible! since the game came out there have been very good patches to fix performance issues, the game runs smoother than ever and i have a worse spec then u, i3 intel with 3gb ram cause of 32bit windows.

Runs on all med/high with no probs.
