Zeus Community Gaming Nights

Combined Ops (ArmA2 + OA)
Teamspeak 3


We are running the latest stable builds of ACE2 and the ACEX modules (v1.8) which is available as ZACE folders in our yomas repository so that you do not have to revert your existing version of ACE.
We also have an optional standalone clientside addon pack which includes Shac tacticals HUD and other useful addons.
Our Zeus Community Manual has tutorials explaining how to set up everything you need to play with us. This includes

* Teamspeak 3
* TS3 Channel commander and whisper functionality
* Yoma's addon Sync


If you want to use our clientside addon pack, you can only get it via our Yoma repository which is an exceptionally easy tool to install and use.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

* Squad to Platoon sized Coop's and A&D's with realistic objectives
* Coop missions often have the AI side controlled by a human player using Higher command, this creates more varied and unexpected gameplay
* Our Signature missions are Attack & Defend Missions, (To get an idea what this is, imagine 2 cooperative missions playing against each other)
* Missions tend to use group and unit tracking scripts, so you always have a good idea where you are and where you need to be
* Artillery & CAS are often included
* Every Mission has a voluntary commander who is responsible for the organisation and tasking within the mission. Newcomers are welcome to take this role if they wish
* Preferential treatment for critical roles is given to those that can communicate with the mission commander via teamspeak, so if you want to be a CAS pilot or Sniper and there is a slot available, you have just as much chance as a Zeus regular
* Zeus regulars following your orders if you are a group leader



WHAT NOT TO EXPECT

* Domination, Evolution or the other "Mass Played" Missions
* Teamkilling
* Stupidity
* Cheating


WHAT YOU WILL NEED

* Teamspeak installed (Microphone not required but preferred)
* A Mature outlook on gaming and ability to order or follow orders from group leaders
* Operation Arrowhead or Combined ops installed and patched to latest version stable release
* An OPTIONAL Client side addon pack called @Zcommon (Tutorials on how to download and set this up with Yoma's addon sync 2009 are included in the Zeus manual)
* A little bit of patience during the briefing stage of the mission while the CO's organise their forces and taskings


SUPPORT

* We have created a "Manual" which may help you to play with us.
* It contains IP address's, download links and tutorials on how to set up various applications, like Teamspeak and Yoma's addon Sync, we also include a simple communications protocol, nothing heavy
* You can download it from
* http://zeus-community.net/important/zeusmanual.pdf
* If you need live help, then jump on our Teamspeak 3 server ( teamspeak.zeus-community.net ) default port where a member will be more than happy to help you
