ShackTac - ArmA 2

[fajhal_nazdazhi]

I got ArmA 2 on Steam recently and while looking into the ArmA 2 community one of the biggest things I found was Shack Tactical, a hardcore ArmA/OFP gaming group.

I'm currently co-ordinating with the group's leader, Dslyecxi, about joining ShackTac and I was wondering if any eGO guys were a part of it or a similar ArmA community.

I play Arma 2 but I just play for fun. Hit me up if you want to play anytime

Yeah I play it for fun also. I love making 100 v 100 AI battles. There fun to watch.

I'm really new to the game. Basically all I've done is play some of the really frustrating Campaign missions and do a very tiny amount of editor fooling around. Could you guys tell me what you think the most fun way to play is?

Yeah same here. I just recently got ArmA 2 after a long wait but I did plenty of research and kept up to date with the ArmA 2 "happenings" during those initial months. Now though I'm finally ready to go and basically hesitating between joining ShackTac or Operation Reality. I think ORC might be more my style though as I do enjoy the more simulation aspects of the game with a nice blend of seriousness and fun they seem to have. They have loads of videos on YouTube that really peaked my interest.

I think a nice mix of PvP and Co-Op all on the same mission. It's hard to do but if you can utilize all "player" sides in AA2 you can really create some awesome missions! Add in a little role playing also and it can be awesome! That's another reason why communities like Operation Reality, etc. interest me because the game can become really dynamic and realistic compared to your usual plain old overly scripted missions.

PS - nice to see a fellow edgegamer playing ArmA! Maybe see you on the battlefield!
